WHL and Ducks Guest Concepts, and More Tigers

Seattle Thunderbirds, by Justin S:

Justin starts us off today with a green third jersey for the Thunderbirds.  This jersey is actually modernization of the Thunderbirds' 1985-87 home jersey.  I think the new striping pattern looks great, it's a great use of this Reebok template.  Execution is also good, all the league logos are in the right spot which sometimes is an issue with CHL concepts.  The only thing I would change, and this is very minor, would be to make the armpit area green instead of white.
Grade:  B

Vancouver Giants, by Justin S:

Justin also sent in this concept for the Giants, who are kind of my default favourite WHL team since they are the closest team to me.  I like the striping pattern which appears to be somewhat inspired by the Giants original jerseys, but with traditional stripes (yoke, sleeve and hem stripes) instead of the Flyers style yoke.  I'm not a fan of using the Canucks number font, I'd rather the Giants keep their identity completely separate.  Also the logo uses different shades of red and black than the jersey.
Grade:  B

Anaheim Ducks, by Ricky:

This next concept is Ricky's take on the Ducks new jerseys.  The striping is simplified, which I think is a great move.  I like the colour balance on the home jersey, but the road jersey still has too much orange compared to gold in my opinion and I don't like how those two colours touch.  The orange third jersey looks good, I have no complaints there.  On a side note, for me as a Canucks fan it's still weird seeing Kesler's name on the back of a Ducks jersey.
Grade:  B

Hamilton Tigers:

Once again I've made a Hamilton Tigers concept.  This concept here is a different take on the Tigers concept I posted on June 17th, basically I removed all the white and made a few other tweaks to give the concept a more retro look.

Have a good day!

Russia Guest Concept and the Tigers

Team Russia, by Jared:

Today's post begins with this Russia concept by Jared.  He uses the template the Senators and Penguins use, and places a single star on the front of the jersey.  I think the front of the jersey is too bland, the star is too small and generic.  I'd recommend using the Russia's current jersey logo.  I also don't like the use of the Senators/Penguins template, it's already overused and just recolouring a template doesn't make a very interesting concept.  Also I'm a bit curious why there are two dark jerseys since a team normally has a white or light coloured jersey.
Grade:  C-

Hamilton Tigers:

The Tigers haven't existed since 1925, but I think they had a logo that could of lasted much longer.  For this concept I used that logo as the primary logo, and I also used lots of yellow.

Have a good day!

Tiger Stripes

A few weeks ago Petr Hajda emailed me about a Facebook page he created called Make It Ten.  He was wondering if I wanted to submit any of my work, I told him I might send in a concept sometime in the future.  This is the concept I created.

Hamilton Tigers:  Way back in January I sent in this Minnesota Wild concept to HJC.  I thought that striping pattern would work pretty good for the Tigers, so that's what I did (with a few minor updates).  The primary logo is an updated version of their 1923-25 logo.  The third jersey is orange and has tiger-stripes on the arm's.

Here is a better look at the tiger-stripes on the third jersey.
