Gateway to the Weekend

Hey guys the weekend is in full swing so lets start it with todays post! We have some HCIHL news, the Hamilton Stags team was announced yesterday. Here is their new Twitter page. Their logos and uniforms will be on this post too! Oh yeah, if you haven't noticed the same person who founded the Hamilton Stags made HCI a real logo and upgraded our Twitter page too! On to the concepts!

Hamilton Stags (By Matt McElroy)

Can I just say, beautiful logos and the best thing is that they are fully custom! Even the IceBorn template that Matt made is featured here! The square yokes look good and I even like the wheat jersey featured as an away, rather than white. I might make the number on the wheat jersey green (either shade). One thing I would do for both jerseys is add a stripe between the two stripes, so on the wheat jersey I would put a gold stripe between the two green stripes, and on the green jersey I would put a dark green stripe in between the wheat and gold striping. One other thing I don't understand is why the top of the socks on the wheat jersey are green. I like the rest of the jerseys and the color scheme is great! Rating 8.7/10

Evansville Church Hockey Tournament (By Caden)

Caden made some changes to his original Evansville Church Tourney concept. And personally I can't say I am a fan to the changes he's made. The first one stays the same, and the silver and gold one looks worse. I know that the "gold" is supposed to be green and I truly think that green and silver looks beautiful together but you need to change the shade of it. I really like the one in the top right corner, as the colors look great with that template. I also find it funny that the "poor church" has tons of adds! I would add some numbers and maybe a name for realism. Concept Rating 7.9/10

Thanks for reading and I we are lucky the HCIHL draft might be on Saturday! I personally can't wait! Go Express!

The Friday After the 13th

It's been a week since we had to steer clear of black cat and walking under ladders. Not much happening in hockey so lets get to the concepts!

Evansville City Church Hockey Tournament (Caden)

First I have to say GET SOME NEW FONTS! I don't mean to criticize my Admin. but the serif font needs to go. I understand the black helmet and advertisements. The colored namebar looks surprisingly good on the blue jersey, and so does the stiping. The logos don't look good, but since they are church logos, meaning to portray the Cross in different ways, they aren't that bad, but maybe add a hockey stick blade to the end of the cross. I like the choice of a tie-up collar for both jerseys, too. About the white jersey, I hate the two common metallic (gold and silver) together and it could use a hem stripe. If the gold and silver colors are to stay I would put a white stripe in between the two. Lastly there shouldn't be an NHL logo in the collar and on the tag inside the collar. Concept Rating: 7.8/10

Since obviously just two teams can't be in a tournament I would like to see more teams (if you can find their respective logos). 

I wish I had a concept to share with you guys but my concept bank is extremely low. I have one I'm saving for the 50th post and thats all. I am not really feeling that inspired so it might be awhile until I make some new material. On that note, have a great rest of your day and bye!

Update

Hey guys! I have a update for everyone. Check the @HCIHLmonarchs twitter. Interesting right. The @AltoonaHC (Altoona Express) asked about it about an hour ago causing the attention of the blog. Here is the tweet that the Monarchs responded with.

@HCIblog @AltoonaHC I dunno. You'll have to wait and see... ;)
