Flames Third Jersey Thread

[rohara66]

At this point I don't care what they look like.... I just want a damn Monahan jersey and I don't want one of the current (terrible) home/away alberta jerseys.

That's what I especially hate about the switch...wanna get Monahan on my new Flames retro jersey, but my jersey snobness would never allow it.

On the 2,, there is squared off hook on the top, the bottom 2/3 of the number starts with a sharper slant than the current set. Then at the bottom 1/3 point, there is a vertical line before it goes to the horizontal base. On the base there is a tail, pointing up it appears, on the 2.The current set, a curved hook at the top of the 2, the slant is more gradual and basically goes to the horizontal base and, no tail.

Same with the G not C (good catch). That G is nowhere near what the current G looks like.

Glad to see they're refreshing up the name and number fonts...been far too long with the current set.

You're damn close, and I like it:

The lettering looks a little small or the numbers too big but another good mock up.

Thought I'd contribute an EA style mock-up. I like these for mock-ups because they give a sense of realism to the sweater. Thanks (I believe) to Spit98 for the shoulder logo. I made up the front script crest based on the most similar font I could find. I think it's pretty close. This, based on the leaked graphics and the teasers on the jumbotron the last couple of games, is exactly what I think we're getting.

There are plenty of things I like about the look, but many that I don't. All-in-all, this isn't a bad sweater at all. The kicker is that many of the concepts we've all seen in the last few months have been better. I think that's what's most frustrating.



I'll try and post some screenshots or some pics with numbers sometime this evening so the full look can be seen.

Curse you for making it look decent.. my mind was set on "it's crap" but that mock up isn't too bad.

[Cali Panthers Fan]

I have to be 100% honest, this thread depresses the crap out of me. If that really is the jersey it is truly terrible.

the more I see it, the less I mind. It could have been a lot better, sure, but when I watched a match of the Austrian league on Friday, I realized just how neat NHL jerseys are. The visiting team sported these "beauties" (bonus points to the hockey nuts among you who know the player ):



Advertisements everywhere ... a newspaper, an insurance company, a bank, a travel agency, a brewery and some others. Sadly, this is how 99 % of European hockey jerseys look.

So keep in mind: it could be a lot worse.

Nicely done! Your font is impressively close too eh. Which font is this?

Given the increase in advertising in the last 30 years already, I honestly don't think we're that far off from following suit...

The wordmark and the logo will certainly blend together and in my opinion the whole thing will look like a splash of black paint when seen from a distance.

Perhaps the white flaming C would make it slightly better, but I'm still disappointed with NJD look (broad black stripes and squared off yokes, with yellow reduced to minimum)

It's called "Script MS" which I believe is a default Windows font. I found a similar one online as well named something else, but it was virtually identical.

I think I'd go with a red flaming C on the front. Perhaps even switch out one of the secondary patches with a red flaming C on one shoulder.

If we are going to look like another NHL team, the New Jersey Devils are not a bad uniform to be compared to.

That's hilarious. I searched high and low for a close font and a closer font is default MS.

Well done with the game jerseys bud. Good to see a better rep of what they may look like.

[strombad]

They actually look better in those screenshots than they do in the EA ones, so that's hopeful.

If that is from NHL 14 then someone needs to be fired. Incorrect stick wrap (the CCM U+) is upside down and TPS hasn't been manufactured for 2 years.

Clearly, for better or worse, you've never played NHL 14.
