Columbus Updated

Columbus Blue Jackets, update:  NB14 suggested I add a red outline to the numbers, and also add some  more white to the blue jersey.  I did both of those, I also changed the font to something more modern.

Thanks to NB14 for the suggestions.  I think the white trim really helps the red stand out better.

Columbus Set

A few of weeks ago I said that the Blue Jackets need a new look.  Also I had completely renamed the team for my NHL Redesign.  That being said, I actually like the Blue Jackets look right now (except for their ugly third jersey).  The only reason I think they need a new look is because the team has completely sucked their entire existence, and I think it's time for a change.  But if the team is committed to their current brand, I wouldn't be too upset.  I would want them to make a few changes though, which leads me to the concept below.

Columbus Blue Jackets:  The striping for this concept is based off of the sleeve stripes of their 2000-2007 jerseys.  I moved the stars off of the cuffs, simplified the numbers to one colour, and used their current logos.  I also used different pants for the home and road jerseys, something that has only been done three times in the NHL if I remember correctly (1970-79 LA Kings, 1976-82 Colorado Rockies, and 1974-75 Washington Capitals).

Thanks for reading, and as always you can leave any thoughts you have in the comments.

My Logo History

On Monday I posted about SG-94's future, today I thought I'd post about it's past.  And I'm sure none of you care about this, but I thought I'd post it anyway.


Logo 1, October 2011 - January 2012:  This wasn't really a logo, it was just a tag I put at the bottom of my concepts.  The font of the name was just Arial.

Logo 2, January - March 2012:  Same as logo one, except I changed the font and made the "94" the same height of the name.

Logo 3, March - April 2012:  Probably the most drastic change, as I added green, changed the shape to a hockey rink, and shortened it from my name to just "SG-94".

Logo 4, April - June 2012:  This was the logo I used when I first started this blog.  The shape changed from a rink to a puck, and the font extended outside of the circle.

Logo 5, June - July 2012:  I don't know if any noticed this when it happened, but I made a few subtle changes to the previous puck logo.  The font became wider, the bevel changed, and the black became lighter.

Logo 6, July 2012 - Present:  This is the current logo I use, and you probably already know enough about it from when I had a logo poll up.

Sorry for such a boring post, I'll post some concepts soon.

SG-94's Future

As you have probably already heard, I have been accepted to be a Writer for HJC.  I will be posting there every Wednesday.  I may have a bit less free time, but I still want to keep this blog going.  A few of things will be changing though;

  1. I will no longer be accepting others concepts.  My original reason to start this blog was to display my concepts, and I no longer see the point of accepting concepts.
  2. There may be posts less often, or there may be longer stretches of time with no posts.
  3. I am getting rid of the "My Jersey Collection" page.  I don't think it's necessary, and it just adds clutter to the blog.
  4. I am changing the Header at the top of the page (this one's random, I just thought three things were too short of a list).

I will keep everyone updated if anything else changes.
