FISHSTICKS!
NAJ nailed it. Both jerseys look great, and he put a little surprise in one of them that works so well for some reason... props man
NAJ has a great away jersey... why not the same on the home one? home jersey should according to me look the same.
MDM also really great, but wheres the fish?
BMA is hte safe bet on this set. Traditional and clean.
GUP...
I didn't want this to just be a practical jersey set, I originally made them both with symetrical colours, but I felt like something was missing. I tweaked the colours around, along with a bit of the striping and I loved how it turned out with these colours. All the credit goes to the designer who chose this colour palette, I don't think this design would have worked otherwise. I'm sure that's not was lack luster about my original design, but I sure as hell liked the outcome. Now the reason I didn't make the dark jersey the same was one, it just didn't look as nice with white as an accent colour on the teal. And two, I didn't want this set to be practical, but at the same time I didn't want it to be too over-the-top and lose votes because of it.
Oh, and one more thing, my vote went to you for this round. Fishsticks all the way.
Thanks for the feedback GUP and AVSFAN
I tried so hard to incorporate the fish, but working the jersey design with the additional silver color made the jersey look off balance. In hindsight I probably should've used it as the logo on the back. I think BMA is a pretty solid set up for this scheme, good balance of color, kind of reminds me of a college jersey the way it is laid out.
I actually really love the HAR design. For a lot of reasons. Normally I don't like too much design on jerseys that features schemes from the team name/logo, but for some reason that design just works. I even like the TB as the primary logo on it. Great job man.
I think Tampa's secondary logo, the TB, is classy as all get-out, but I also think it doesn't work at all as the primary chest logo. Just to contradict myself yet again, though, I still had to vote for MDM and HAR because their designs are so great that I couldn't bring myself to say no! MDM, I know you said you tried really hard to get the fish logo on there, and I wish you'd found a way, because as it is now with the TB logo, it seems more appropriate as a third jersey. No matter what, though, rest assured that you knocked it out of the park.
WJN also gets my vote for originality and for pulling it off quite successfully, in my mind. I do wish that the arm stripes, and maybe the shoulders as well, had some orange on them, but that's really all I have to say about that!
I'm a little surprised I'm the only one who went with the victory stripes as a stick tap to the Lightning.
Love HAR's design. Good job of working in the distinct tooth design that I (and probably MCB) was trying to subtly work in.
Big thanks to NSB, LYD, and WOJ for their support. I was a little skeptical at first because although the concept of the teeth sounds great, I wasn't so sure how receptive others would be to the layout. Good to see at least some people are fans.
A lot of great options for this set, but my choices go out to BEG, MDM, and GUP. The grey of the home jersey for BEG is the only thing I dislike; the orange might've been too bright though as well. Still, great design concept. For MDM, just a huge fan of the striping pattern and colors; I think it all clicks together well. And for GUP, despite it being one of the biggest laughing stocks of all NHL jerseys, I'm still a bit of a fan for wild-looking jerseys. It works here
HAR did a very good job, like others said, with putting the teeth in his design...something I tried and failed miserably at.
I'm surprised no1 mentioned how much BMA's looks like a Miami Dolphins hockey styled jersey (which I think looks really nice, stripes work out imo), and LYD's blue uni looks a ton like the Denver Broncos (orange pointed side panels and the number font). I hate to compare alot to the NFL but that's what they reminded me of, they look really good though. Others I like are ANM and GUP (despite the fish sticks feel).
