Sonic NHL

Sorry for no posts this weekend. I was out of town and didn't have internet service.

Today's concept post comes from Jared Lammi. Jared has an idea for a "Sonic SatAM Memories" series in the NHL between the Coyotes, Ducks, Kings, Bruins, Canadiens, and the Lightning.

Jared also submitted another concept with a Sonic theme, and that is for the All-Star game, with the two teams names being Team Tails and Team Sonic.

I am glad to see that Jared used actual templates for this round of concepts, but there is still quite a bit for him to improve on:

• No real logos or fonts are used. Sportslogos.net has every sport logo you can think of, and in my tutorial I give a link to download all of the NHL fonts.
• Colours don't match actual team colours.(Although adding an additional colour to the scheme may be acceptable like the Islanders did with their previous black third jerseys)
• There is a lot of pixelation in all of the concepts. If you are going to continue to submit concepts I would suggest once again to go through either my tutorial or Ryan's over at hockeyjerseyconcepts.com

Not really something to improve but just as a note is that if you are doing a series it helps the viewers to see consistent templates used.

Improve on those things and you will be creating concepts with the best of them. Keep on trying Jared!

Jared Lammi

We have our first concept submission to the blog today. That submission comes from a guy by the name of Jared Lammi. He has created concepts for the upcoming Winter Classic and Stadium Series games next season.

Jared, I would suggest finding a template either on my templates page or there are also a ton on hockeyjerseyconcepts.com. Having a solid template can really help nail down some of the concepts you are trying to create. If you haven't looked at the tutorial I created I would also suggest giving that a look as well, but I am liking your creativity with your concepts. Keep it up, Jared!

Original Six Classic

With the rumoured announcement during this weekends All-star festivities of the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens playing in the 2016 Winter Classic, I decided to create some jerseys for the game.

For the Bruins I created a fauxback that combines the look of jerseys from 1925 and 1940.

For the Canadiens, I  tried to create a throwback jersey that matched the timeframe of the Bruins jersey and was also different from the jerseys they wear today. I took inspiration from their away jerseys used in 1936, but changed the blue and red to create a more balanced look.

Let me know what you think in the comments!
