May as well just go all the way with it and call them the Night Riders

mat_sens · 10-19-2012, 07:18 AM

Wasn't there supposed to be an announcement of some sort this week?

**Classless Manked** · 10-19-2012, 10:13 AM

Where's the reveal?

Jerk Store · 10-19-2012, 03:45 PM

Sorry had to leave last minute for Montreal. Will post something monday

If we can't have the Rough Riders back why not the Rough Raiders. The 'A' could be coloured green for effect just to bug Saskatchewan. What's a spare 'A' between friends.

"rough raider" sounds like a rapist

That looks sick.. I love the secondary logo that's on the shoulders and the New Era cap.. i'd definitely buy that.

Thank you. The debate in the next few days will be wether or not to switch the primary and secondary mark, i.e. have the H-O/football on the helmet and the soldier as the patch. Soldier needs to be there so to clarify the intent of the name

SelleckStache · 10-22-2012, 09:38 AM

Tally H-O!

Saabman0508 · 10-22-2012, 09:40 AM

Everything looks awesome! The shoulder patch and the hat remind me a lot of the Minnesota Twins logo.

JoeSakic · 10-22-2012, 09:59 AM

Jerk can you post them on this site - can't access Facebook from my current location.

Personally I think it would be a wise decision.

I'm limited in what I can post, but here's the main thing

The response on Facebook and especially on Twitter has been tremendous so far, but that's the feeling I'm getting. I'll post up a "vs" kinda thing on Facebook tomorrow

Erik Silfverberg · 10-22-2012, 10:44 AM

Looks great man.

Good work.

I'd prefer the O/H on the helmet.

A busy helmet with a guy on it is too Renegadish. It also is outdated, like Pat Patriot, and the Tampa Bay winking pirate. Tampa was in the retros yesterday by the way; I love the creamsicle uniforms.

IMO, you should leave it the way it is.

I think that the H/O works a lot better on the jersey, than the face would. As a consumer, I would rather sport the H/O on any merchandise, vs the soldier.

Also, I think there would be too much negative space on the helmet if you were to swap out the soldier. I really like the scheme as is.

L'Aveuglette · 10-22-2012, 11:06 AM

Yep, I too prefer the H-O as the primary logo.

Same for me.

As always, great job on this JerkStore!

I'd prefer the O-H on the jersey shoulders.

I think I'd prefer the soldier head as a third logo to be honest with maybe a 2D version as the secondary helmet logo instead. It does seem a little complex and Kansas City Scouts-ish (http://nhluniforms.com/DefunctTeams/Scouts1.html)

Still a great theme and concept, I hope you get this to city council and OSEG asap!

Thats beauty. Amazing work as always, thank you Jerk Store!!
