BigRed618 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I thought I'd throw my hat into the ring with a Seattle hockey concept of my own...HomeRoadI named them the Metros, naturally a nod to the old PCHA team that once played there. I almost named them the Mets, but that would've been too easily confused with the National League's NY Mets. I almost made their colors green and red, again to imitate their nearly-a-century-old incarnation, but the Wild already wears those colors, and two red/green teams in one league would've been odd.The logos and jersey design was inspired by the bold, geometric, futuistic look of the 70s and 80s, like a WHA club, or a 60s expansion team. Only thing I'm not satisfied with is the primary, but I'm not sure what to do with it. C&C appreciated, as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRed618 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 What happes when Seattle plays Nashville? They would both be wearing yellow jerseys...Crap, I forgot about Nashville. They wear gold at home now, don't they? I could make a white third or Seattle will just have to wear green when they're in the Music City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed618 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Okay, made a third jersey...Nothing special, just a white version of their normal jerseys they can wear on Sundays... or when they're visiting the Predators. C&C, please and thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed618 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'm going to go ahead and make this a series now. Not sure if I'll get the whole league done or not. Here's the Dallas Stars...HomeRoadThe Stars will never move back to Minnesota. I've made peace with that fact years ago, but with this concept, they can at least still look like the old North Stars. The logo is based on the famous N* emblem they used all those years ago. Sorry if it's a bit wobbly, I had to hand-draw it because I couldn't find a nice "D" I liked. The colors have been simplified. Just green and black, even on the logos. When I first started getting into sports design, I always thought black only looked good with warm colors, and if you must use a cool color, one should add a metal like gold or silver to balance it out. I have no idea where I got that rule, but I think this turned out alright anyway. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkychewbarky Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 That Dallas "D" logo needs some finessing, but it's got a real nice Moscow Dynamo "D" vibe to it. *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed618 Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 MONTREAL CANADIENSHomeRoadThirdFor the home, all I changed was the pattern on the hem so it synchs up with the rest of the design better. The road jersey was inspired by a similar shirt they wore in the 1930s. The alt was something I came up with out of nowhere in particular. At first, I was going to make this the home jersey, but then I realized after some research that the Habs had the same home jersey literally since the formation of the NHL nearly a century ago. I wasn't sure how you would react to me suddenly changing that.C&C, please and thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nas1787 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I really like the road uniform. Though one of the cuffs is coloured red. Did you try switching the red and blue in the numbers? Not sure which would look better. The third is pretty unique. Outside the box, but still feels traditional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCRGraphix Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I dig the white Canadiens jersey. Also, I think if you cleaned up the Stars' logo, you might be on to something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed618 Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 I'm still trying to iron some things out with my Bruins concept, so instead I'll give you...SAN JOSE SHARKSHomeRoadOnce again, I attempted to merge two eras into one identity. I took the logo of the late Oakland Seals and tweaked it to look more like a shark. I'm not sure where else I can go with it. I'm especially proud of the wordmark, and I'm thinking of creating a third jersey with the wordmark as the crest. I wasn't sure where else the orange would fit in, so I kept it to a minimum.So what do you think? Does this look like a shark to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed618 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 MINNESOTA WILDHomeRoadThe Wild have been trying to go for a more traditional, old-time look recently, and I feel the new emblem I made helps more to convey that feeling. I replaced the cream with a golden yellow, just to see how it would look. I may try this with the cream again when I get the chance. C&C appreciated, as always.

BigRed618 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 I went with what Kaz suggested and made a green version of the Wild's home shirt...I think it does look better this way, don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
