Well I just wrapped up my crossover series going in the other direction, NHL to footy, so of course it's only natural that I now do AFL to hockey. Obviously, I love footy and the design elements that go into making the teams' identities, but as a non-Australian, I'm looking forward to all of your feedback, and counting on you guys to let me know if something I've put together seems like it would be just pure blasphemy for a team. The vast differences between guernsey design and hockey jersey design is allowing for some very fun creativity, so my philosophy has been to take just one or two major elements and find unique, maybe unexpected ways to translate them to hockey; I definitely want to make them look like hockey teams, not football teams, but nevertheless if something I've put together is just wrong on every level imaginable, by all means speak up and I'll try again!
A quick primer on hockey jerseys, for those who aren't familiar: Rather than one main jersey and a clash or two, every team has a dark jersey and a white jersey; in the modern NHL, the dark is worn for home games and the white is worn for away games. For most teams, home and away jerseys follow the same, or at least a similar, design template, with colors just switched around as necessary. Currently, about two-thirds of the league's teams also have third, or alternate, jerseys, which tend to have very different designs, logos, and/or colors. Some third jerseys are crazy and modern, some are traditional and heritage-inspired, but all are different from the team's usual look. For my designs here, I've given every team a third jersey, just for fun. (Also worth noting, if you're curious: Home and away jerseys share the same pants and gloves, while a third jersey may or may not introduce a new design for those uniform elements, as well.)
Also, unlike in my NHL-to-footy portfolio, with fewer teams and with you all much more familiar with them all, I'll let you guys dictate in your comments the order in which I'll present them, as I've seen done in a few other portfolios. Also, unlike last time, I don't have them all created in advance, so it might be some time between concepts, though my goal is for it to never be more than a week.
