'Mericans!

Today's concept is another refurbishment of one of my early concepts on Icethetics. This time it is for the New York Americans. My logo skills were a little weak back in 2012, so I created a new logo and updated the uniform. If you haven't seen the concept that I am talking about, this is it here.

EDIT: I added the alternate and away jerseys for the Americans set.

WHA Update

About a year and a half ago, I created a revival of the WHA. I made my own logos for most of the teams that I did for the league. Since I was only beginning to use the pen tool at that time, my logos looked a little bit sloppy. Today I have a concept update for the Toronto Toros. I updated my previous logo and created a new jersey while I was at it. Let me know what you think!

The Leafs Reborn

Last night the Toronto Maple Leafs unveiled their brand new (sort of) logo. The logo takes heavy inspiration from the logo the Leafs had from the 30's to the 60's while they were winning the majority of their cups. Here is a comparison of both of those logos, with the graphic coming from sportslogos.net.

Of course since the Leafs unveiled a new logo, I felt the need to create a set of jerseys that would fit in with Maple Leaf history while also making subtle changes. Since the leaf has 31 points, I decided that the jerseys would have a homage to the jerseys used in 1931. Of course having stripes going all the way up the arms is a bit out of the ordinary for everyday NHL use so I reduced the number of stripes on the arms.

Let me know what you think in the comments and if you have a different idea for what you think the Leafs could look like next year, send your concepts in!

The Centennial Classic pt. II

I have already uploaded my concept for what the Toronto Maple Leafs could wear for the Winter Classic next year. In today's post, I have a concept for the Leafs' opponent in the game. I have the Leafs playing the New York Rangers in the Winter Classic. They would be wearing jerseys that would be close to the white version of the original jersey they wore in the NHL. The pants design is based on the pants used by the Rangers from 1935-37.

The Grenfell Warriors

Continuing with creating logos for popular team names, today I am creating a logo for the Warriors. This just so happens to be the name of my university's sports teams so I decided to create a design more connected with the school rather than being a generic logo. The school  currently doesn't have a hockey program, but I have whipped up a concept of what a jersey with my logo would look like.

King of the Jungle

To try and improve my logo skills, I've decided to create logos for the some of the most popular team names there are. Today's concept is for the King of the Jungle, the Lion. 

The Centennial Classic

During the NHL's 100th season the Leafs are trying to make Toronto the venue for the Winter Classic. With this concept I give a taste of what that might look like. The concept mixes a design similar to early Toronto Arenas design, while also using my favourite Maple Leafs logo. The white pants might be a little too much but I decided to go for it.
