bleuet Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Sorry, your Coyotes set is a miss.Your logo is just TOO GOOD! lol ;-)The dark Coyotes jersey: WHERE TO BUY? PS I know it could unbalance the logo, but if you would rotate the background circle a little to the right, this would form a big C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dherm Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 So far, I'd say Thrashers, Avs, Coyotes, and Lightning are all better than any uniform they've ever worn. And I'm a fan of the current Coyotes uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 The Sharks logo is a miss. It looks more like a monkfish than a shark. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MonkfishDid you read his post? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Sharks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCRGraphix Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 Next up are the Columbus Blue Jackets. This design is actually based on a lot of research and my own personal experiences as a U.S. Army Musician. The team name "Blue Jackets" was chosen to recognize the service and patriotism of the people of Ohio during the Civil War. When President Abraham Lincoln requested that Ohio raise ten regiments at the outbreak of the Civil War, the state responded by raising a total of 23 volunteer infantry regiments for three months of service. Because of this, I designed the logo using crossed muskets (the logo of American infantry) on top of the shield from the National Seal of the US. On the sleeves are the civil war regimental rank insignia of a Sergeant Major which is currently only still used by the U.S. Army Band. The stars on the shoulder are merely decoration as you would obviously never see two different ranks on one uniform. I feel that this uniform would fit with the burst of patriotism that came about around the time of the bicentennial (1976), but could also work today.

chrysleraspen08 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Amazing Columbus jerseys! Sporting Venue Count (for games): OHL: 19 (28 Total)- 770 games (after 18-19), MLB: 13 (15 Total), NHL: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCRGraphix Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Next are the Nashville Predators. In 1971, a Saber Toothed Tiger (Smilodon) was found during the excavation for the Regions Center in Nashville. Because of that find, when the Nashville Predators were given an NHL franchise, they chose the name Predators and made it their mascot. I tried to create a realistic 1970s saber toothed tiger logo, which was inspired by this Springfield Indians logo from 1947-51. The colors are pretty much the same as their current ones, bust the shade of blue is lighter. The colors are taken directly from the city flag. The jerseys are based on a 1970s classic, the Charlestown Chiefs. I didn't want an over-complicated look that would detract from the logo itself, so I used the Chiefs design since it wasn't seen in the NHL at the time.

Morgan33 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 First off this thread is outstanding. The jerseys, the logos and particularly the presentation has given the concepts boards a much needed breath of fresh air. Tough to say but I think my favourite is the Lightning. Can't wait to see what you do for the Dallas Stars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonny Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Those Blue Jackets Jerseys are amazing. Btw, idk if it was intentional or not, but the Primary logo crest is almost the exact same shape as a Columbus Police badge. I'll try to get a photo.Here we gohttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e8/ColumbusPoliceBadge.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCRGraphix Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Next are the Carolina Hurricanes. They use the Whalers color scheme and a design based on the New England Whalers of the WHA, which would not have ruffled any feathers in the NHL since the Whalers didn't join until 1979. I also used a lighter blue to reflect the University of North Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCRGraphix Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Next up are the Dallas Stars. For this design, I used the colors from both the Texas state flag and Dallas city flag and created a logo based on this one from the Houston Gamblers of the USFL. The jersey itself is based on this one from the Bosnian IIHF team. Even though it was from the 90s, the design looked like it came out 20 years late, so I combined the designs an this is what I came up with.

I also used a lighter blue to reflect the University of North Carolina.I remember when the Whalers announced they were becoming the Hurricanes I was excited because 1.) I'd have a local NHL team to root for, but also 2.) blue and green are such a great color scheme for a storm-themed team. Then I ended up being disappointed by their decision to go with the more generic red and black. This is a great series you've got going here. One of the best I've seen in a while.

joechicago Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Dallas reminds me of the old ABA New York Nets uniforms. Well done.I dig the Nashville jerseys, but think that the cat could be a little more "cartoony" to catch a real 70s vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
