Seattle Mammoths Concept Design

[Superpest]

Instead it should be a cow and they can be the sea cows.

... if I have time after work tomorrow I might make a cow version just for you

You deserve money for this. Everything is happening. Nice work.

That's nice of you to say, but this is choppy work. If I were to get paid I'd put a whole lot more effort into it.

I thoroughly enjoy making these. A lot.

Well done all around. I would say that your second set of browns are better than your first, as the blue does add a very nice accent. However, that being said, I'm inclined to agree with the previous complaints you mentioned and say that some form of green just has to be in a Seattle logo/uniform. Also, while I'm a fan of the color brown, there's actually a very sizable portion of the population that wouldn't want to wear it under any circumstance. I'd suggest either using it as more of an accent color if you wanted to keep it in, or have the brown be only on the logo itself and have the rest of the jersey being a different color. The latter works for Chicago, after all. When you think Blackhawks, tan, green, orange, and yellow don't tend to pop into your head, but they're right there on the logo.

My favourite colour is brown. I really like these, brown in jerseys looks really sharp!

Logo design is hard, but I think that fits better.

Laaaadies and gentlemen, your Seattle Seamammowalruses!

You can barely see the logo on the Aways with the blue set.

I like the brown.

The jersey design is a bit simple. Great uniforms tend to be simple, but with one color, I'd like to see something else going on, such as stripes with different weights. The accent colors are a good option.

The logo is a solid start, but its overall shape is a little odd. If it's going to be so asymmetrical, I'd love to see a more dynamic shot from below the mammoth that really has the tusks jut out into space and makes it look imposing. Another possibility is making it a bit more abstracted and using the tusks and trunk to form an M. I'd also like a more straightforward, somewhat realistic looking mammoth walking directly towards the viewer, perhaps stark shadow on the body and light on the face.
It's a bit late right now, but I might cook up a sketch or two of what I'm talking about and post them later in the thread.

The Seahawks-colored ones are pretty bad, though. I'll also note that almost no announcer is going to regularly say "Mammoths," so you'd have to expect to hear "Seattle" a lot.

@ Xamboni, love the addition of the blue accent (to the brown unis), you read my mind! I get that people like the originals you posted, as do I, but picture an entire team on the ice in an arena wearing them and it could be lacking. The blue adds just that extra something IMO. Again, that's nitpicking though. Great work in general, man.

I like them too, it was a solid suggestion.

You rock

Sea cows? Manatees?

I'd love Manatees, but Seamammoths are pretty awesome.

I love all the ideas, I'm actually the fan of your bolded design.

 

[Emerica]

Not really a fan of the logo tbh.

 

[ThePsychicSaw]

something abot that blue on those browns... really pops.

surprisingly love this set wow

 

[IComeInPeace]

I'm a fan of the browns

Hate to break it to ya, but Josh Gordon just tested positive again, and Johnny Manziel is the worst first round pick since...you last picked a QB in the first round in 2012.

I think an emerald green piping around the yoke or number outlines [for the Brown concept] word tie that one together; Needs a color other than brown, even just as an accent.

Look at the bottom of the first page, I posted something like that

Bad team name

Bad team name

Thank you for your input

Too fancy, and too similar to Canucks colours.

Looks sharp, but I think it looks more like an AHL or ECHL concept than an NHL concept.

No I meant just as an accent color to the first palette, if that makes sense. [latent WOAT drawing]

It does.

Can I make you a version tomorrow evening?

 

[Walkingthroughforest]

I'm going to keep going back to the logo design and offer my feedback. Try scaling back your colour palette to three colours, you currently have six and it makes it look too busy in comparison to stronger logos.

If you want to redesign it, I'd encourage you to rethink it with straight lines for the head, while keeping the contrast of the horns curved. You might find that these two aspects will make a more impactful and timeless design.
