Last week I posted a Los Angeles Kings concept which, while I liked it, was widely panned by readers. As Vintage Week carries on, I've got another perhaps to make up for it. Micah Loyed's retro style jersey and logo designs are absolutely stunning in my opinion. If all of the design world starting working toward this type of look and feel, I think we'd all be better off. But then I may be alone in that line of thinking. What about you?
Vintage Week continues on this Winter Classic Weekend as Micah Loyed provides another great concept, this time for the Toronto Maple Leafs. The instinct for many may be to dislike it since it doesn't feature the classic Maple Leaf shape, but the style is certainly very retro.
Today I'm kicking off a new weeklong series featuring one of my favorite concept artists. Micah Loyed's Vintage Week is sure not to disappoint. His work is very simple and uncluttered. Since this is a Winter Classic Weekend, we're starting with the Detroit Red Wings. Maple Leafs tomorrow.
Freak Out Friday brings another couple of brand-blending efforts from Ross Taylor. This time around he's focusing on St. Louis and the San Francisco Bay Area. It's the St. Louis Blue Eagles and the California Golden Sharks... or San Jose Shark Seals. By the way, I just noticed that while both the Seals and Sharks logos feature a hockey stick, the mutant version doesn't. I kind of like that. What do you think of these?
At the request of some readers, Ross has provided full uniform designs for his blended logos.
We haven't really featured any national teams on the new Concepts page yet, so let's try one today. Nick Burton shares a new look for Team Canada with us. I'm a fan, but then I'm not Canadian. What do all you Canadians think of it? And if you guys have anymore international concepts to send in, maybe I can get another theme week going.
