IPv6Freely Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I’m trying to figure out a good custom graphic for my next set. It has to be a custom graphic because the glove, blocker, and pads may all be coming from different companies so I can’t use any stock graphics. Our uniforms are Chicago blackhawks red and id love to integrate that somehow. The Scott Darling sock graphic would be easy and look sharp, but may still be a bit plain for me. I also considered doing a throwback to Ed Belfour’s old pads with the vertical black/white striping but that may be over the top. Something in between would probably be ideal. I’m undecided regarding knee rolls. I do think they make pads look better but if a graphic wouldn’t work with them then I’m totally okay skipping them. any suggestions/ideas?

coopaloop1234 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Are you thinking of a Passau/Brians mashup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undecided on the rest of it. Passau is a maybe. Brian's is likely. Now that CCM entered the 21st century I might look at those too if I can get a demo first. The blocker I may just go Passau also because I like their finger protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mroy31 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 How about a tweaked sock graphic? Used Warrior just because they have a stock graphic in the vein of what I was thinking. Could integrate the black/white lines/zones, but punch it up a bit to turn it into it's own kind of graphic. Probably limits using different colour zones on knee rolls, but I think the rolls might still work in a solid colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, CCM doesn't have custom graphics? I guess it's between Passau and Brian's, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you can customize the graphic that they designed for you. 2 minutes ago, TheGoalNet said: Pad Skinz FTW? Touche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chenner29 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 You are all close but very wrong. Trevor Kidd is the best answer, and @IPv6Freelyneeds to grow a nice mullet out to complete the look. Marvel at how Brian's even colored the straps to match the graphic... Also notice the puck foils under the boot binding The SWAGGER!

braedub90 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 @IPv6Freely Here's a little mock-up with an incorporated sock graphic. I didn't want to attempt the glove, as I am only working with Paint. It's a little different, but maybe something like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do the hawks sock stripe on the same swooping angle top to bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPv6Freely Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 Hate his pads. Melding two really busy patterns together looks bad. Anyway... what about, instead of the sock graphic, I do the bottom hem of the jersey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
