Again, it was hard to choose a winner in this category, but Dave Sizer went the extra mile by having his helmet design mimic the Pilots' old caps, and also repeated the cap/helmet trim on the pants and the road jersey yoke. Several of our contest entrants revived the old Pilots team name, and two of them actually used the old MLB Pilots' uniforms as the basis for their designs. MLB's Seattle Pilots played only one season (1969) before moving to Milwaukee and becoming the Brewers.

Yes, that's sort of ridiculous, but take a look: Honorable mention goes to Matt McElroy for his very nice Seattle Sea Lions concept, and to Diego Yanez, who came up with - get this - the Seattle Sushi. The Whale rising out of the sea, the aquatic-themed striping on the torso, sleeves, and socks - it all works. Realistically, nobody's going to call their hockey team the Greys, but everything else about Jarvie's concept is spectacular.

There were also lots of entries based on non-monstrous sea life, the best of which was Michael Jarvie Jr.'s superb design based around a gray whale. Honorable mention goes to Christian Legault and John Elbertson, who did very solid work (with bonus points to Elbertson for his excellent inaugural season patch).īest Non-Kraken ocean creature design: Michael Jarvie Jr. Lots of readers whipped up kraken-based designs, usually involving a tentacle shaped like an 'S.' Many of these were really good, and it was hard to choose the best one, but Bowen Hobbs gets the nod by virtue of including a an eyeball in his crest design, which gives the kraken more of a sense of character. What's a kraken, you ask? It's a legendary sea monster that's sort of like a giant squid, and it's gotten a lot of traction among Seattle fans as a potential team name. Honorable mention goes to Andrew Arena, who also came up with an excellent Space Needle-based concept for his Seattle Metropolitans: Good use of bold colors and striping, too. Adam Hainsfurther did so most successfully, putting the Needle at the center of a military-style crest for his Seattle Aviators design. Many readers incorporated Seattle's iconic Space Needle tower into their designs.

Best Space Needle-based design: Adam Hainsfurther For each of these, you can click on the design to see a larger version of it. So without further ado, let's have a look at the best entries we received. And Uni Watch readers were definitely up to that challenge - the signal-to-noise ratio on these entries was probably the best of any contest we've ever run, with lots of very worthy designs. That was the subject of our latest Uni Watch design challenge. But what should that team be called, and what should it look like? Thanks to today's NHL board of governors vote, it looks like an NHL team is coming to Seattle.

Their time is valuable and drawing up several concepts until a customer is happy could mean spending more on graphic design time than your whole set of jerseys is worth. Unfortunately for our graphic designers they work in a profession that doesn’t always get a lot of respect. That means you need to come to us with very specific instructions on one concept, we draw it, then allow you 2 rounds of revisions (which can’t include changing the logo entirely) before we need to charge extra. In our custom hockey jersey pricing, we include drawing/vectoring/tweaking of one image.
