You're not wrong. Although I do like the Atlanta alternates' A.

Agreed. It even looks cool in the name bar.

But the double flaming C on the front is just terrible.

There were some gawd-awful Devils teams wearing those pyjamas. They were often referred to as "Team Christmas" because they kept gifting wins for opponents.

The era brought about Gretzky's infamous "the Devils are a Mickey Mouse operation" remarks that sparked New Jersey fans to wear Disney mouse ear hats.

Given the Oilers more recent history, those remarks come back as Karma.

Yet another reason the Oilers are No Good™.

I agree terrible.

They made Iginla use a flaming C as the Captain's C for a while until Iginla asked them to change it back to the standard C.

I'm pretty sure that was in the Fleury era.

No they didn't. The Flaming C as Captain's C was only used briefly in the late 90s, long before Iginla was named Captain. I believe Fleury and Simpson are the only captains to have worn the Flaming C as the Captain's C.

I think the problem with the captains flaming C is that it’s right above the logo which is exactly the same


On the horse head jersey I think it would look cool

IIRC, it was the league stepping in.

Must of confused Iginla with Fleury. Easy to do. Basically identical players...

Another Jersey. I may keep going until the Photoshop trial is done.

Font is from the Seahawks. Coming up with new striping ideas is a pain in the arsenal. I went with the classic this time (Not the socks, obviously).

If you use a different player you will have more room for your design.

I'm not a huge fan of the shoulder Logo, but have no alternatives.
I would buy this!
Ken King, please call to offer me a design contract.


Would you be able to share the PSD file you're using? I'd love to take a swing at some of these.

I'm sure enjoying it. I've always wondered why so many jersey designs suck... It's because it's bloody tough to do.

They're looking good! Really well done for just introducing yourself to it.

I remember clear as day being mind-@&*ed just trying to resize an image before understanding what I do in that program.

A couple things I'll suggest would be moving the arm striping up a bit, and you could probably get away with a big bigger fonts. This guy has a pretty good baseline established:


You should also look to have a bit more daylight between your numbers and letters. I think you're adding stroke to live text - so look to adjust tracking in the Character panel to get that spacing back.

Keep having fun with it! If you're not into Photoshop beyond the trial, check out free (or at least much cheaper) options out there.

You should give a Nashville or Blues concept a try

I like the font because it makes the dead space in 13 look like a C.
