Detroit Red Wings Concept 3

Howdy everyone I present to you all my first concept made from my new computer and boy it wasn't easy mostly using the new MS Paint, to even setting some of HJC's new rules about sizing and stuff but I felt like I pull it off, for now It's going to be just straight Home and Road concepts while leaving the 3rds to ride solo until I can think about resizing my concepts witch is not a easy task for me mostly every time I resize it go pixely on me and I hate it, not a big fan of it, but sooner or later I'm going to end up doing it and might have to put up with it.
Now enough ranting let's get on with the concept.

This is another Detroit Red Wings concept made by me but this one is for the HJC's Untouchable Competition, same template as my Winnipeg Jets concepts, it kinda look pretty good with just Red and White.

Erie Otters Concept

On the main crest I tried to make a otter, for some odd reason it looks like one of those cliparts thing, use the "Otters" wordmark under the otter, put the colors on the crest and there it is a main crest for the Otters. The jersey design I tried to make the stripes and hem wavy to give the lake theme feel to it, the colors are Blue follow by Gold, Red, and both Dark Gold and Light Blue for the main crest.

AJH HJA Update: New Computer!

Well did you all enjoy my concept that was scheduled last week? Well that my people was my last post from my old computer as it died late January (a week before the Super Bowl >_<), but this post marks my first with my brand new computer! Yes indeed it was a nightmare without my computer, not going through the internet, working on my concepts, etc. I didn't really lose all of my concepts data witch I threw them on Dropbox witch it's a life saver for me! The only things that are a lost is recent stuff, from my fanfic league, my Pittsburgh  Pens concept that I put it a side until I feel like get back on it, and my April fool's concepts that I was working on it was a good idea until my old computer crashed I was devastated, I had that computer for 3 years it was just 3 months shy away from being 4 years old, it was a sad day indeed it was, heck on that same week I tried a post on my iPod Touch but it wasn't the same. "Now" I got myself a new laptop computer and it's a wonderful laptop, it's Windows 8 witch it's cool, what's more awesome about it MS Paint program on this laptop too! I can't do concepts without MS Paint, it's my bread 'n' butter yes indeed it is, about 95% of my concepts are made on MS Paint while 5% is Paint.net (resizing logos), it'll take time for me to get used to the new MS Paint, it's very different from the old one, I'll get my first concept made and post it here soon for now I got one concept made that I uploaded on photobucket and it's on here right now but it's on draft mode right now and haven't put details on the concept yet so hopefully I get to that really soon, for now got to put details on my concepts so it'll be ready to be send to HJC until then.

Guelph Storm Concept


Guelph Storm despite this team been around over 20 years and beside following the London Knights, I used to Follow this team mainly because my old Public school teacher used to be a scout for this team and pretty much learned about the ways of how to make a hockey team turn from a bad team into a team that can win Championships.
Some of you young people to some from different places that got into Hockey think Guelph Storm is the 1st and only team to play in the city Guelph, well believe or not the city of Guelph has a rich hockey history from all sort of leagues, two most historic teams from Guelph were the "Guelph Biltmore Mad Hatters" from the OHA (years before the OHL was established) started in 1940 to 1942 cancelled their operation for 5 years due to World War 2 only to operate in 1947, won the Memorial Cup in 1951-52 season, they were the New York Rangers farm club, in 1960 the team was sold to a new owners due to financial trouble witch the new owners rename the team to the "Guelph Royals", 3 years later the team moved to Kitchener to be come the "Rangers" despite the NHL so longer associate with the OHA the name was the same to this day. The 2nd is the Guelph Platers, started in 1968 as the "Guelph CMC's", then the "Guelph Biltmore Mad Hatters" in 1972, and then in 1975 they were renamed to the Platers, 7 years later since the rename the team were promoted to the OHL were in 1986 they went all the way to the Memorial Cup title win, their glory was gone after that season with bad records and bad turnouts the team move to Owen Sound to become the Platers witch later in 2000 they were renamed the Owen Sound Attack.
And so in 1991 the city of Guelph got themselves another OHL team when the Dukes of Hamilton (formerly the Toronto Marlboros) and call themselves the "Storm" and to this day they had success from winning 2 OHL titles and making 4 Memorial cup appearance 1 of them as host (all 4 they didn't win), and they got list of NHL Alumnis that some I remember of them played for the Storm to even NHL stars I didn't even know they played for the Storm.
So there you have it the Hockey History in Guelph, right now their current look is too plain to my taste compared to their good jerseys that I remembered to their somewhat okay set, as part of my "OHL Redesign Quest" I give you My Guelph Storm Concept

The main crest it's indeed the storm cloud with eyes with the wordmark "Storm" removed, bring their old Alternate logo from 1995/96 to 2006/07 back as shoulder patch, made Black as main color follow by Crimson, and Gray, the three stripes on the arms and hem are represent three teams that played in the city of Guelph, the Guelph Biltmore Mad Hatters (now the Kitchener Rangers), Guelph Platers (Now Owen Sound Attack), and the Guelph Storm, while two thin stripes in between three thick lines on the arms and hem represent the two Memorial Cup titles won (Mad Hatters in 1951-52 season, and Platers in 1985-86 season), and the font on the NOB is standard block with 2 layer trims and the Columbus Blue Jackets fonts for the Numbers.

That's all for now.
