Monday: And... Seattle Wins!

And.... For the record they were my choice! Anyway this blog is about hockey (though it would be cool to have a Football Jersey Concepts, or a Soccer (the real Football) Jersey Concepts site) but that's for another day. So now we have our weekly HCIHL scores!

Altoona Express 161.5 - London Sabreswords 140.1
Louisville Lynx 171.2 - Hamilton Stags 117.8
Evansville Rivermen 283.5 - Skopje Lisici 125.7

Well the Express have a win (finally) and if they win out (including beating Louisville this week, and then the Stags, and Rivermen) a slim chance at playoffs! (London has the same slim chance, just a different schedule) After that motivating story we go to the concepts!

Pittsburgh Penguins (Dallas K.)

Ah.. My favorite team nice that I get to see them at Soldier Field, but that obviously isn't the point of this concept. I don't think that I could get behind them using the roundel full time, nor that busy of a striping pattern. The return Robo-Penguin is interesting, but a lateral move IMO. One thing that I always point out when artists do this with Pens concept is the collar insert should be colored gold. To sum it up, Golden Triangle...In the logo...the one thing Reebok did right...Pittsburgh. I'm having a hard time finding anything that I like in this, but it's not a bad concept... at all. Concept Rating 7.5/10 (But an improvement over their currents)

 

Team Prussia (Alan J.H.)

When Prussia gets a hockey team pigs will be flying for sure! 1. It's in the dessert and 2. It doesn't exist anymore. That doesn't stop our writer Alan from making them jerseys though, and good ones at that. The dark jersey is perfect, but the feels more empty. Maybe using bigger striping or switching the colors in the striping would help. I hate it normally but maybe an off color name bar would look good on the white jersey. Don't know. I like the fonts used. Concept Rating 7.8/10 And a writers pick nom!

I've been making a bit more concepts lately and they are coming out pretty good, I want to unveil them as a series, so you have a bit of a wait coming before they hit town. Until next Monday goodbye!
