Isn't every single third jersey made now have this circle with the team logo inside it? St Louis, Columbus, Florida, Minnesota, Pittsburgh.

That Jones one a few posts earlier is the best tweak of a Flames jersey I have ever seen.

Yea I made one with that logo a few days back. Even I knew it had been done before.

i made up the patch and thought, 'man... that looks really sweet.... i wonder what it would look like on the retro jerseys?!?!?' so i grabbed a jersey and i think i actually squealed with delight! this pic has the logo on the back of the jersey since the patch i made for the blanket is smaller than the patch on the front of the jersey - but you'll get the idea....




personally, i love it - i think it looks sweet. i should just make my version of the logo bigger and replace the front patch on my jersey..... hmmmm

That's awesome, and I the blanket sounds awesome!

[HELPNEEDED]

We need a team to be able to put jerseys on.

Thanks a ton guys! That was pretty fun to work on.

Pretty much agree with most of the critiques on here and I know how my next free-time will be spent .

I adore the idea of the 3rd where the Reebok logo was (I was the guy who PSd the idea earlier) but left it out of this concept considering the Reebok logo move is just a rumour. I actually even tried it on the yellow band on the elbow but it looked far too busy. I'm all about clean shoulders though.

I did purposely leave the 2-thick banded waist on purpose to be a different theme than the arms. I love the tension it brings to the jersey and the clean front-facing appearance. I tried a thin band when I added it to the arms and didn't like it as much (though it did still look good). I'll post a version with that when I tweak it around again.

That font is Phoenix. I can't unsee that now. The font was changed immediatly

Edit: And maybe I'll post up a concept without strings... but I absolutely adore them so I hope our next jersey keeps them

[Split98]

So I think I'm finally pretty happy with the concept. After playing around with the nameplate font, I found that I really did just love the clean (though Coyote's-esque) simple sans font. I also still never dug adding the extra band to the waist and included here is the neck-placement alternate logo that would be a great place if Reebok does end up allowing their branding relocation. I also retained the tie-ups, but decided on a jersey coloured thread to blend while keeping the (IMO) great look of a tie-up. Blends, avoids the clutter that bothered some people and adds that classic tie-up touch.



Thanks a lot for the positive response guys, this was definitely something I've had a ton of fun working on.

Great job man! ^^^

Only comment would be that the socks look a bit off. The tops should probably be red for color consistency and flow, but that's just my opinion.

I like the socks. I wish I could buy this jersey right now.

Yeah, the socks are striking for sure.

I tried a white bottom but personally wasn't a fan. The white to the skate looked odd, and the red at the top created too much of a red block from the pants to the knees (where I had a yellow band).

I'm also a bit of a fan (a huge fan actually) of visual tension. Things that look a BIT off (though still attractive) is something I typically strive to design. The socks (and waste band) seem to accomplish that from the reviews I've gotten so far

Me too

I revised my concept a little bit and I'm really happy with it.

These are definitely the best new jersey concept I've come across (excluding Zamler's Retro one).

Great work! Love the jersey!

There should be a Home and Away Jersey of Kipper and Iginla because thats what the Identity of this team is.... Its not the Flames, its about Kipper and Iginla.

Amazing job. One of the best jersey concepts I've ever seen, period. And personally, I love the socks.

...I just came across this:



Appears over at http://www.hockeyjerseyconcepts.com/...ing-kings.html

Don't like it much myself, but I think it's the first on this thread to attempt something like what they've done here.

[Dr. Pepper]

What do people think of the likelihood of unveiling a new 3rd jersey design at the draft? Would be pretty sweet advertising with the 3 1st rounders...

Just saw this up on Icethetics! Good work

Split98, your jersey designs are awesome! May I ask you to try out a black and a yellow 3rd jersey designs using the same template and see how they pan out?
