    I don’t think I’ve ever fully realized how many agencies the NHL uses for logo projects. Very cool they don’t just stick to one, and utilize many different talented artists!

    • @icethetics
      @icethetics  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      True. And to be honest, I still think they could stand to hire more agencies. They do tend to rely on Fanbrandz for most of what they don’t do in-house (NHL Creative Services or Adidas/Reebok). I’d love to see more variety and more companies get opportunities for that high-profile work.

    The only reason there’s an Eastern Conference logo on that 2017 NHL adizero sample is to show what the shoulder patch material on the jersey would be. I have a prototype from the previous all star game with a Kings logo on it despite it being representative of a division other than the Pacific for that reason

    Absolutely insane quality not sure how this channel isn't bigger. Also if anybody reading this is one of the many talented concept artists, I would love to see somebody make a good chicago blackhawks jersey based on the chicago flag. I've seen a few concepts but none really hit the mark.

    Another great edition, thanks Chris!
    My two takeaways:
    1. I've had the idea of using the Islanders' 4 stripes as tape for the stick blade for a long time; it works fantastically in the jersey you showed!
    2. I might be low key in love with that Senators rounded prototype. With juuuuust a tiny adjustment to make it look less like a 6, that's a strong initial right there.

    Home jersey vs home jersey when it works looks so good.

    • @estellegrignon
      @estellegrignon ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think the NBA has a system where teams get to pick whatever jersey they want for each home game, then choose one that is contrasting enough for each away game once they know their opponents' sets. Habs v. Leafs in their current home could look good, but so would it be with the Leafs' black third. (I was gonna say Leafs v. Lightning with Tampa in their black third so it doesn't look like a scrimmage game, but now that I think about it, there might not be enough contrast)

  • @QualityHelicopter
    @QualityHelicopter ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Kind of a bummer to see all sorts of cool stuff on the mood board for the 2016 Winnipeg heritage classic and it seems like absolutely none of it was used when compared to the 2011 logo which was essentially exactly the same. That unused one was a beauty, though.

      Right? Could work. Plus, then you get a little sports branding overlap in Tampa with the Bucs. Like the way Pittsburgh teams are all yellow and black. Maybe all Tampa teams should all incorporate the skull and crossbones. 😅

    • @icethetics

      Funny story, that. For a 2018-19 release, this jersey would have been in development during the 2017-18 season-during which time Jordan Staal served as co-captain with Justin Faulk. So it makes sense when you take the production timeline into account.

      Yeah, I had that in my script initially, but took it out since they ended up using the same logo for the 2015 game when it got rescheduled. So it didn’t really fit in the “unused logos” category. Same with the 2013 Winter Classic, for that matter.
