Competition Merger Of The Week 1: Melbourne Hawks

[Ochre]

Close: 22 Feb (Normally wont run this long, but I want this to run at diferent times to KOTW)

Maximum 2 Entries

EDIT: I 've decided to allow a clash/away jumper for each entry, however, it cant use the traditional design of either club (ie yoke or stripes)

Didn't put too much thought into it, but just to contribute...

 

[Craegus]

It's basic but here is my first entry:

It's basic but here is my first entry:

Thats sick (clash jumper could be gold/brown)

 

[Craegus]

Thats sick (clash jumper could be gold/brown)

You mean like this?

(Not second entry....yet)

 

[JamesMcB8]

my first entry, taken longer than it should have since i have been distracted watching the winter olympics




tried to combine the yoke ans stripes into a melbourne "M"
as usual, let me kow what you think

 

[Gibbsy]

In respons to Craegus's guernseys, while the first one looks really good I'd probably move away from having an away guernsey with completely different colours to the home. It makes the red and blue Melbourne Hawks logo on the away look a bit out of place.

 

[EBUS]

Does it have to be Melbourne Hawks or can it also be Hawthorn Demons?

 

[aidancdaman]

I was thinking Melbourne Hawks from Hell to incorporate the 'Demon' branding. Then again, it sounds pretty dodgy .

 

[Exe Gesis]

It can be Hawthorn Demons.

The reasoning for me and others saying Melbourne Hawks is because Melbourne is the capital city, a stronger name to have.
Plus with that, the way I thought about the merger would be Melbourne name and guernsey design belonging to the Dees, and the colors and hawk logo belonging to Hawthorn when they try to come up with the best identity compromize.

But I also like JamesMcB's idea of merging all colors/design into the one guernsey. If one can find a good way to blend all those colors/shapes in as they're so polar opposite to each other to make work well imo.

That is why the away is not currently an official entry it is just a quick mock up in response to munts comments.

Melbourne Hawks

I call this "Extreme stuggle to incorporate Navy Blue and keep it looking good"

If I win, my merger is Port Adelaide Eagles (Port Adelaide + West Coast) If you've kept that rule

 

[Exe Gesis]

That's a very good attempt at blending those colors.

 

[Gibbsy]

Here's my first effort:

I don't normally ask for feedback but I feel I've done a really good job especially with the logo so some comments would be nice, thanks.

 

[Exe Gesis]

That's an interesting hawk logo!
I like the way you have blue word red word.
I reckon a more vicious predatory looking hawk would be the go.

The jumper is nice...focusing on the best or most do-able colors. Tho another red-blue-yellow team in the AFL.

 

[Willo #6]

Awesome effort Gibbsy, love the logo!

Is it inspired from this jumper?

 

[Ochre]

rules changed slightly

please see OP

 

[Willo #6]

Sensible rule really, otherwise we'd have half a dozen entries that look exactly the same.

 

[Gibbsy]

Yes Willo, is inspired from that guernsey. Joined the two parts together to create the hawk. Didnt want to use the current one as it seems everyone is, but the previous logo I never really was a fan.

I'm happy with how it is but thanks for the feedback GG.

And in reply to Coxy's change I'll add the clash jumper I had in mind.

 

[EBUS]

Feedback would be appreciated.

 

[Gibbsy]

That's an interesting hawk logo!
Tho another red-blue-yellow team in the AFL.

Psst... it's not real

 

[Exe Gesis]

A lot of these designs have me convinced it's real.

 

[Ochre]

wheres the clash jumper gibbsy?

Hey onyacoxy you have said in the original post that you cant use either traditional design (vee or stripes) on the away/clash. Melbourne doesnt use a vee it uses a yoke. My thoughts of a vee are what Port is wearing now or what Man U is wearing ATM. Also because Hawthorn use vertical stripes can we use horizintal stripes or stripes that dont go vertical.

yoke vee same thing

horizontal stripes are fine, its just to stop someone using the exact design of one of the teams as there home and away
