Soldier Field Guest Concept

Penguins and Blackhawks Stadium Series, by Ricky:
Ricky's third and final Stadium Series concept is for the game at soldier field.  Once again I like that the chrome logos and funky numbers numbers are gone, but I also like that there are still elements that are used for all the Stadium Series jerseys like the angled sleeve stripes, the matching shoulder yoke cuts, and also the multi-colour helmets which is a new feature Ricky's used for all his Stadium Series concepts.  Looking at both jerseys together I see that this would be a great looking game, the bright yellow Penguins jersey and the black Blackhawks jersey would be a nice colour versus colour matchup.  Now I'll focus on one team at a time starting with those bright yellow Penguins uniform.  I love the yellow version of the 90's "Robo-Penguin" jersey.  It translates almost perfectly to the Stadium Series template, although I would re-work the lines in the shoulder yoke a bit.  The bottom line is good how it is, but I would make the top line almost completely straight across and then make the middle line curved only half as much as the bottom line (hopefully that makes sense).  Now moving on to the Blackhawks uniform, which I think is also almost perfect.  I like how the logos have a white outline so their don't get lost on the black jersey, and I love that the striping is like how it is on their current pants (red surrounded by white).  Speaking of pants, I think the red pants and helmets are great, it creates a unique look that in my opinion looks really good.  I only have two minor complaints about the Blackhawks jersey, the first is that I like white numbers better than the red numbers, and the second is that the striping pattern is the same as what Ricky used for his Ducks and Kings Stadium Series concept.  I would of liked to see a unique striping pattern for each team in this series, but still this was a very good take on the Stadium Series jerseys, better than the actual Stadium Series jerseys in my opinion.
My rating for today's concept:  4.5/5

Enjoy the rest of your day!
