Midway Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Don't have a problem with the Habs' current aways but I like the direction you're headed in. The cuffs gotta go on both sets though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 It has been a long time but the hand drawn NHL is back. I've got two brand new teams to show and three much needed updates. Lets start with a team that recently unveiled new jerseys...San Jose Sharks 2.0The theme for this set is the Shark breaking free from it's restrictive surroundings. Gone are unnecessary elements like the chewed in half stick (always thought that was silly) and the triangle lifted from the Penguins. Also removed is the retro striping. The Sharks are a 90's expansion team and in my opinion they should look the part. Angled stripes retain the "Red Triangle" connection while phantom collars ensure that the aggressive shark is not 'boxed in.' The alternate is an updated throwback to the inaugural years. No Black jersey. As always C & C very much appreciated. Thanks for looking Original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Sticking with my pet peeve that i have with most sharks concepts. The shark is black, yet the fins on the shoulders are grey. Other than that, I'm in love. On September 20, 2012 at 0:50 AM, 'CS85 said: It's like watching the hellish undead creakily shuffling their way out of the flames of a liposuction clinic dumpster fire.

wildwing64 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Yay, I've missed this series.I'm not a fan of the leaping shark logo at all, but I can see what you were going for here so I can forgive its use. In actual fact your concept makes me like the logo a bit more. The retro inspired third is nice too. Your execution is fantastic as ever, and puts certain other series to shame.But going forward with the Sharks, I think you should just get rid of all the stripes. They're too heavy for the players after all PotD:Â 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 Thank you for the kind words wildwing64. Maybe the Sharks should get rid of the logo too. Onto the next teamDallas Stars 3.0I think the Dallas Stars absolutely knocked it out of the park with their redesign. Where the Sharks and Hurricanes failed miserably at improving their original edge jerseys, the Stars would succeed with flying colours. My only complaint is that they didn't borrow enough from their past. This was something I wanted to rectify with this concept. Gold replaces silver as an accent and the shoulder to sleeve yokes from the inaugural set return. The classic logo dating back to the North Stars returns as a shoulder patch sans text. The alternate puts that great 'State of Texas' logo front and centre on a restrained black jersey with traditional striping. As always C & C very much appreciated.

hockey week Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Oh my, that is incredible. That's the first Stars concept I've seen and truly believed they should go with that. Simply amazing. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 For my next concept, I bring you a new team...Carolina HurricanesInitially I had no interest in doing this team but their recent redesign was so awful, I changed my mind. If it looks a little similar to the inaugural set, it's because I'm a huge fan of that look. It managed to be creative without being over the top and gaudy. That being said, there is always room for improvement. The storm-flag striping now features an equal amount of outlines and the pattern is also found on the sleeves. I don't think removing the shoulder patches was particularly timeless, so those have been brought back. Full colour shoulder patches are now found on the alternate and the grey "film strip" pattern has been vanquished for a proper red, storm flag pattern.

Philsphan Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I've lurked most of this summer, but seeing Morgo's NHL came back, I have to post! What you did with Dallas is great, especially with the alternate jersey--which is perfect. However, I'd say the old star on the shoulder doesn't fit as well with the home and away. It kind of reminds me of how a minor league baseball team with a cool new style will put a logo of their major league affiliate on their jersey even if it doesn't really fit with their look. Otherwise, the execution on the D is absolutely amazing.For Carolina, I never really liked their red/blog flag striping and shoulder patch, but you pulled it off really well. I was surprised that after a few looks, I found myself really liking it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Thanks for the feedback Philsphan, appreciate it. Next team!New York RangersMight not be a popular opinion but I'm really not a huge fan of what the Rangers are wearing, I realize it's what they've worn for almost their entire history but I just can't get behind a jersey without a logo on the front. In fact, the only Rangers jerseys I've ever been a fan of were the ones with Lady Liberty on the front. I combined that logo with the classic Rangers striping (which I really like) and went with Navy.

Morgan33 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Philadelphia Flyers 2.0Not much to say about this update as changes are minimal. Thought the way the first one was drawn wasn't up to the standards of the rest of the series. This is last of the current batch but I've already got 3 more done so the next batch will be posted soon.

Morgan33 Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 The next batch of 5 got finished much earlier than expected so the series continues! I'll start with an update.Phoenix Coyotes Version 2.0I was initially quite proud of my first Coyotes concept... until I added the third jersey which in my opinion blew the other two clear out the water. The updated set is based off that jersey with a few changes. Purple has been eliminated from the colour scheme and Sienna has been replaced by much more muted Mocha colour. The 'moon' shoulder patches are now red and feature the silhouette of a cactus. As always thanks for looking and C & C is much appreciated Original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
