Still Alive

Just a heads up, I am still trying to keep this blog going. A combination of lack of time and account issues have lead to very few posts over the last few months. But I do have some concepts to post! Stick around...

Harvesting Gold

Sam sent in a concept a while back, I am finally getting around to posting it. Sam pointed out most concepts eliminate harvest gold (usually highlighting wheat instead), so he put together a home/road set that uses it. He also adds an alternate jersey that is completely devoid of harvest gold.

2011-2012 3rd Jersey Schedule Posted

The Wild broke out their 3rd jerseys on Saturday against Columbus. The schedule for the rest of the season has now been posted under the '3rd Jersey Schedule' tab.

Hockey is Here!

That's right, the puck had dropped. The 2011-2012 NHL regular season is underway! Unfortunately, I am as busy as ever and haven't caught a single game yet. Nor have I had much time for posting here. But do not worry, Wild About Design is still alive. I have a some small news items and a few concepts to post, so stay tuned!

School is Here, Hockey Will Be Soon!

I have been extremely busy lately with the start of class and such, plus there hasn't been much hockey related news, so it's been awhile since I have posted here. Thankfully there has still been some interest in this blog, so I have reason to keep it going.

We start with a concept! Sam sent in a concept for a green jersey featuring lots of wheat. It goes for a very classic look, using only two colors everywhere but the logo. Notice the primary logo as the crest, yellow/gold nowhere to be seen. Nice job!

We also have some uniform news! Well, not for the Wild. Minnesota's AHL affiliate, the Houston Aeros, unveiled new jerseys for the upcoming season. The home (white) jersey uses a generic Reebok template.

The road is a green jersey in the form of the Wild's current home jersey template. Perhaps that is how the Wild could do a new green jersey someday in the future.

Finally, the alternate jersey. This is perhaps the most intriguing of the three. It uses the Wild's current alternate template, only in wheat. At least, it looks wheat. It could actually be white, but it looks wheat to me. It follows the same script design for the crest. Once again, this may be something we end up seeing from the Wild in the future. One can only hope!

So that's all I have right now. Hopefully more concepts will come in as we get closer to hockey season. And I have a few ideas for contests for later on, so stay tuned!

Still Here...

Hey all, sorry for the lack of posts for the past two months or so. I have been extremely busy wrapping up high school and such. I haven't had access to my regular computer much either, resulting in very few opportunities to update this blog. But I am here, and I do have some concepts to share!

First off, thanks to Jack at Goal Line Design for sending these in long ago. I am just now posting them, but I think the wait was worth it. First we have an RBK Edge version of Minnesota's old green jersey, I think this turned out excellent. We also see a red alternate jersey. I think it does a great job tying various design elements together. Great work!




Tex also sent in a concept recently. It is a modern jersey for the Minnesota North Stars. Tex put together a new logo for the crest, and went with a mixed color scheme. It's a nice modern spin on an old look.



Thanks for contributing! Keep sending in your concepts!

Go Green

Goal Line Design put together a few Wild concepts recently and sent them in. They are both primarily green, but with 2 different themes. The first one goes for more of a retro look, using lots of wheat and striping. Not to mention the circle logo and tie-up collar. The second uses more red, something we don't often see with green jersey concepts. It's kind of refreshing, actually. The 3rd jersey script is used on the front.



These both look awesome. Keep the concepts coming!
