0540: Metropolitan Green III

Our Seattle Sunday series seems to be going quite well. So I'll keep it going as long as I have content to fill it. As we all wait for what is surely to be the next city to join the NHL, Bryan Dyck has a different take from the last two weeks. It's a sharp and colorful set that — despite a similar color scheme — is still miles away from Seattle's neighbor to the north in Vancouver. I might vote for a little more distinctive crest, but the colors are spot on. (And we still need a new name.)

A navy jersey is the best out of three and has a potential - but need some additional work . Firstly, stripes around crest must be ditch, they're causing a big time distraction and there are already plenty of stripes on a jersey. Secondly, start stripe pattern on each side of a jersey a bit below an arm pit area ( they're way too high making that vertical piping not visually pleasant ). Thirdly, continue sleeve stripe pattern from below a tv number in this order : jade/green, white, marine/blue then navy and then again jade/green, white,marine/blue. Also, jersey's collar needs to fill in marine/blue with jade/green outline. Socks must have an identical stripe pattern as jersey's sleeves ( they look boring without it). I would go with a different font for numbers and name on the back, but that is just me. As far as the crest go - I prefer a color scheme of the one with a word mark - but only a color scheme, not a word mark. Perhaps, with my suggestions that jersey could very well become a great home jersey for the upcoming team in Seattle in some time soon. I can see a great potential in that navy jersey. Sorry, the other two jersey doesn't say " hockey " to me.

I'll tell you the name right now; Seattle Sasquatch. Your mascot would be Sassy Squatch and/or Chewbacca. The logo would be that classic image of Sasquatch walking away looking over his shoulder, but holding a hockey stick.

Nice concepts but the colours are a little too close to the Canucks' look. I am still hoping that once Seattle is in the NHL, the name "Totems" is chosen. There is a lot of history with that name.

That third jersey is inspired. Radically different and I love it.
