Ottawa Senators

A popular concept idea floating around is making the unused Sens side profile logo as the primary. Well I am also doing it mainly because... it needs to be done! I started working on this along time ago until an almost identical concept was posted on HJC. At that point I kind of gave up on it but I finally went back and finished it.


There were three main things I wanted to do with this concept.
1- Use the side profile logo as the primary. Self explanitory.
2- Return the laurel leaves to the jerseys. I have always liked the idea but as I know now, Sens fans weren't to thrilled with them. So I decided to make them a little less noticable on my concept and create a sublimated pattern on the striping.
3- Make gold a large factor in the jersey design. The (current) Sens have always had gold in their logo but never really on their jerseys. I changed that here.

So what do you think of this look? Leave any feedback or critique in the comments section below!

UPDATE
Steven G. suggested that I make the gold stripes thinner and broaden the others. I thought it was a great idea. I also darkened the red up a bit and made a few small changes. I think this version came out a lot better.

  1. That is an amazing concept. Being from Ottawa and being a die-hard Sens fan, I would love to see these jerseys on the ice. A black version would even be great for an alternate! The only thing I would do is make the black a bit more prominent. Regardless, you need to send these into HJC or use them in the HJC Open. Great work!

    1. Thanks, NB14! When I was making these I actually threw together a black one just as an idea. I may post it at some point.

  2. I really like the sublimated pattern in the striping. My only complaint is I think there is a bit too much gold, maybe try making that stripe thinner and the other stripes thicker.

    1. I agree about the stripes. I'm going to work on it a little more. It seems pretty bright with the large amount of gold. Thanks for the feedback!

  3. Great use of gold! The only thing I'm not thrilled with - on your concept as well as on the Sens actual uniforms - is the font used... But I may be a little bit too "old look"!
