There's A Hurricane Coming! ...Not Really

What's going on guys? Hope everyone is enjoying or enjoyed the day with your families or by yourself if you prefer to. Anyway, been a couple of weeks since I've posted something so I thought I would get a quick one done today. So let's get to it!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 If you follow HJC, you probably remember my concept for an American Hockey League team based on the colors and nickname of my high school Alma-mater, The New Britain High School Golden Hurricanes (CT). Well here, I decided to make a jersey set for the school itself if they had a hockey team. I know it seems weird that the school nickname is the "Golden" Hurricanes and have the primary color maroon, but it's something the school has done for a long time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's all for today. I said this in the last post that I am starting work soon so posts will most likely be sort like this one (maybe shorter) and not as often. But no need to worry! I will try my best to keep rolling out concepts.

Feel free to comment!

Also, how do you guys like my new concept presentation? If you have any suggestions on how I can improve it, feel free to leave a comment!

Play Ball!

Hey guys!

Well Spring Training is in full swing (Pun most definitely intended) and opening day is only a couple of weeks away! So today's post will be 95% baseball related. With that, posts are probably gonna be a little bit more scarce or might involve less concepts since I just got a job working concessions for the New Britain Rock Cats, the Eastern League (AA) affiliate of the Minnesota Twins! This post will also be involving the Rock Cats since I will share the Eastern League All Star Game logos (Hosted this season by the Rock Cats) and All Star Jersey concepts for the game.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 As I said, The Rock Cats will be hosting the Eastern League All Star Game at New Britain Stadium. This will be the second time the Rock Cats will be hosting it, with the first being in 2003. I for one am excited about it because I did not attend the on in 03' but will have the opportunity to work the game this year! When the time comes later this summer, I may have a post about it, but I most likely wont have pictures of my own to go along with it...

So here are the event logos for the game!

(Alternate Version)

Although the Rock Cats colors are red, black, gold, white, gray and tan, they included blue in the event logo to sort of give a nod to the franchises past.

Before being know as the Rock Cats/ Twins affiliate since 1995, they were the New Britain Red Sox and affiliated with, you guessed it!, the Boston Red Sox.

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Here are the jersey concepts I came up with for the event...

Although these are concept jerseys for the event, they would not be worn during the actual game (Players regular uniforms will be worn). These jerseys would be worn for the All Star events the day before the game. The Eastern division would be the home team since the Rock Cats are in the East. Everything else is pretty much self explanatory.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now here's the non-baseball part of the post...

The American Hockey League today posted this years Calder Cup Playoffs logo on Facebook & Twitter and I wanted to share it with all of you!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That about sums it up for today's post!

It's Monday!...Ugh..

What's going on everyone?

Been a couple of weeks since I've gotten a post done and not much has happened in the NHL since then. Well, the Hawks' impressive points streak came to an end the other night against the Avalanche. And the NHLPA okayed the NHL's realignment proposal and will now be brought to the NHL Board of Governors for a final vote.

As for the concepts today, I have another entry to my "Promoting The Thirds" series, two HJC contest entries and one I've had on the back-burner for a bit.

Let's get to em'.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  The Canes' are the next team in my concept series. Making a white version was harder than I thought it would. As it turns out a few of them will be difficult...

I know, the Red Wings will never change their classic look but for an HJC contest, they did! This was my entry that came in second in the competition behind Stephane. Here I tried to modernize their look while keeping some elements of their classic look as well as get away from it at the same time. Does that make sense?

This is my entry to HJC's current contest, which is currently in the voting stage. I tried to make a modern, yet classic look.

 This Regina Pats concept has been on the back-burner for a couple of months. Reason being is that it's not really an original idea. These are based off uniforms the Pats' wore until they redesigned their uniforms when they switched to the Reebok Edge uniforms.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's it for today. No clue when the next post will happen. maybe I'll do some baseball concepts to coincide with spring training being in full swing!
