Frylock Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 Speaking of past Tampa Bay Lightning fonts, I just thought I'd share this with my fellow jersey concept creators!I've been working on the orginal Lightning font. Since it is a variation of the current Pittsburgh font (as pointed out by Puckguy) it was kind of easy to create. Now, I admit that it isn't perfect, but it's pretty close. As for the letters, I'm not 100% on the "J" and "W", but I felt that this was good enough to release. This is version 1.0 and is tweakable. Feedback is appreciated!

Puckguy14 Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 wow nice job philly! im not sure about the J or W, ill look at it through my old hockey cards. I know the 4 was a bit wider though there was some space between the diagonal line and the vertical part, but im being picky. sweet! 2004 San Jose Sharks 7th Man Fan of the Year San Jose Gold Miners - 4x Lombardi Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frylock Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 Thanks Puckguy! The only member of the Lightning who had a "J" in his last name was goalie Pat Jablonski, and I couldn't find any clear shots of that part of his jersey. Additionally, they had no players with a "W" or "X" in their names, so those are absolute guesses.Regarding the "4", I know that one might be a little off. That and the "7". I did all of the numbers and letters by tweaking the Penguins numbers (which are courtesy Roger Clemente, of course!) and comparing them to photos in "Lightning Strikes", the yearbook for the 1992/93 Lightning. Overall, I'm pretty confident in my font set, but there's always room for improvement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-kj Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 EA's a bit off on a few things. Like the fact that they've (at least through 2002) used the Coyotes' typeset for the Wild.

Puckguy14 Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 EA is off a lot this year. These were the things I noticed:Anaheim - Nike alternate still up. Not an exact match on the home and road font.Calgary - Still uses the numbers on their home jerseys from 94-00Los Angeles - Still had last year's uniforms, despite changing the primary logo in the front end.Minnesota - Uses Phoenix's letteringOttawa - third jersey is the road jersey from 95-99Pittsburgh - Still has last year's uniforms, despite changing the primary logo in the front end.San Jose - numerals on the home jersey go into the grey. Alternate has straight lines, not the V-shaped. the original road is done in deep pacific teal, not the original pacific teal.toronto - Still uses Nike numbers despite changing the shoulder patch.I proabably missed some stuff, but these were ovious miscues. 2004 San Jose Sharks 7th Man Fan of the Year San Jose Gold Miners - 4x Lombardi Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJR Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 Then there's the fact that the player named for the Wings and Rangers don't arch like they should, they just go straight.

zpqmaowl Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Oh my god this thread was made a decade ago All of the current NOB and number fonts are here: http://eriqjaffe.50webs.com/ the worst helmets design to me is the Jacksonville jaguars hamlets from 1995 to 2012 because you can't see the logo vary wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frylock Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Wow... Well, I'm responding from my iPhone (which I certainly didn't have ten years ago) so I'd have to search a bit for the file when I'm at my computer. And to join in with philly's comment, I've been married and divorced since I posted in here. A lot of life has happened in that span of time!

Frylock Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Alrighty... Here's the deal: This is a BMP file for use with the templates found over in the template thread, originally designed for use with Roger Clemente's templates. I seriously have not touched this file in eight years. If someone wants to convert it to a TTF file, that would be rockin', just send me a link to DL it!The link, and the image...ColorWerx: It's a LOOONG answer as to where I've been and my lack of posting. Not jail! But seriously, I do have several reasons, and if you'd like, feel free to PM me And I LOVE the Monkees reference... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
