2014 Stadium Series: Ducks and Kings

Happy Saturday everybody! New concept time!

2014 Stadium Series (Los Angeles)

Here is my newest concept, one for the two California teams playing under the stadium lights this next January. With the Ducks, I went with the rumors and created a predominately orange jersey with some variation of their 'Mighty Duck' oval logo. I also decided to base their jersey off of the infamous 'Wild Wing' alternate. Despite the front design and font, it's actually a great jersey, and I think it could be a great look! For the Kings, I decided to tie a few era together. I stuck with their current color scheme, and that of the Gretzky era, and used a jersey design similar to that of the original Kings. However, the main thing I wanted to do was use a logo they hadn't before. Not like this anyways. I used the crown out of one of their old shield logos because, I think it is very well executed and honestly looks better than their other crown logos. I also wanted to do something else the Kings hadn't. They've used every color in their arsenal as a base color except for silver/grey. Now it may be a hard color to do so, but with the King's scheme and identity, I think they could make it look great. After all, this is Los Angeles, why couldn't there be an orange vs silver game?

So what do you think? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

An Orange Ducks Third Jersey?

Hello everyone. Just a quick concept today.

Anaheim Ducks

I've always been a fan of bright colored jerseys (yellow, orange, etc.) and thought the Ducks would look cool in an orange jersey. This design is actually based off of the San Francisco Bulls sock design. I just really liked how the gold, white and black stripes looked on orange so I through this together just to get a whole jersey idea. It's quite simple but I think it would be a neat design.

Going Green: Stars and Ducks Re-brands

I think we can all agree that the NHL needs more green! I've come up with two Pacific Division re-brands which both include green as their base color!

Dallas Stars

The Stars are on the top of the list of teams that need a redesign. I've created a new bullhead logo based on the stars old third jersey logo. I was originally going to use it as the alternate logo but it came out much better than expected so I promoted it to primary! I modified the inside of the star logo as well as the colors to use the classic logo as a shoulder patch. The striping is based off of their old, black third jersey the incorporate the "stars" theme a little more. Finally I had to add their big offseason pickup, Jaromir Jagr, to the back!

Anaheim Ducks

I finished this concept a while ago. You may have also seen my first version on HJC a while back. The logo is based on the Quad City Mallards flying mallard logo. However, I changed the orientation of the whole duck and redrew everything in illustrator so I wouldn't just be slapping one teams logo on anothers jersey. The alternate logo is meant to represent Southern California. You can read a durther description on the concept!

As always I would love to hear any comments and critique you have. Thanks for stopping by, The Art of Hockey!
