Futuristic Canadiens

Jared Lammi is back today with another concept. This one is for the Montreal Canadiens and has a very futuristic feel to it. I'm sure any fan of the Canadiens or any hockey fan in general would hate to see the team ever switch out their classic jerseys for these, but the whole reason for concepts is to create something different. This concept definitely does that.

The End is Near

Today we have another concept from Jared Lammi. Once again he combines the tv show Sonic the Hedgehog with hockey. This time he says his concept will predict the Earth's future and save us from the end of the world.

Jared has made progress from his first submission on this blog. I am glad that he took my advice and starting using pre made templates, as well as adding actual fonts and numbers to his jersey. The only problem I have with the numbers and font on this concept is the gradient makes them hard to read. Another execution error comes from the stripes bleeding outside of the jersey. I hope you keep taking my advice, Jared, so that your concepts will have zero errors in them. 

I have one question for you Jared, on how you make your concepts? What app do you use on your iPad?

For everyone else reading the blog, I would be more than happy to put any concepts you have up on the blog. My email and concept requirements are on the side of this page.

Battle of Penn State + Sonic

Todays concepts come from Jared Lammi. Jared has been making some progress with his concepts and I hope he keeps on striving to become better. The first concept is of both the Penguins and Flyers. I don't know if Jared intended to have both teams play each other in these jerseys but if so, it would be hard to differentiate teammate from opponent since both jerseys are gray.

His second concept is for the Vancouver Canucks, in which he has given them a Sonic themed jersey.

The one bit of advice I would give to you now Jared is that I have seen in most of your concepts you just fill in the areas with different colours and thats it. It would help if you tried to create striping schemes for the jersey to be more creative.

Blue Lightning

Today we have Jared's third submission shown on this blog.There was some improvement in his last set of jerseys compared to his first sent in, but I believe the concept he recently sent in is his best one yet. Like I did in a previous concept, Jared adds a gradient to the jersey but in a much different way.

Jared, I am glad that you took my advice in using a logo and an actual font for these. I like seeing you progress with every concept you send in. The only minor thing I would note with this concept is that the gradient striping slightly bleeds out of the edge of the jersey, and you also forget to continue the gradient on the backside of the jersey. Other than that, fantastic concept Jared!

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!
