New Decals on Player Helmets
New season, new helmet decals. This year's helmets feature the new(ish) wordmark on the back. The white helmet still has the primary logo and stylized numerals from the white jersey. The home helmet is green with the 3rd jersey wordmark and wheat block numerals.
The NHL is Back, and So Are We(?)
Hopefully you know by now that the NHL is back from its lockout. Play will resume, and hopefully so will this blog. We are, however, looking to make big changes.
New Name?
That's right, we're considering a new name for the blog. Wild About Design is fine, but perhaps there is something better. New name suggestions are welcome. A voting poll will be set up on the sidebar asking your opinion on a name change. Please vote. A re-brand is coming too, but that is dependent on the name.
Assistance Needed
We are looking to expand here at Wild About Design. The hope is that we can eventually set up a little community of people interested in this topic. My ultimate goal is to get a blog/following started for multiple teams.
At this point, I am specifically looking for a number of people to help. For starters, anyone wishing to write blog posts, please let me know. This can be news, concepts, critiques, whatever. I would love to get some more contributing partners. We are also looking for solidified featured artists. In other words, a group of designers that would be willing to submit concepts on a somewhat regular basis. In the past we have had concepts sent in from all kinds of designers, but a firm group would be awesome.
If anyone is interested in helping in ANY way, please let me know.
Email Us!
There were some problems between various blogger and email accounts, but everything has been sorted out now. So email wildaboutdesign@hotmail.com with news, concepts, photos, whatever! It will get posted along with any description you wish to include, and all proper credit will be given to the contributor.

So, is there any interest in keeping this blog going? It is a personal hobby of mine, but I would love to shape it into an interesting information center for hockey and sports branding fans. Please let us know if there is any interest.

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!
