Ross Taylor has another couple of brand-blended logos to share with us. On this Freak Out Friday he's mixing the NHL and WHA franchises of Toronto and New Jersey. The Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Toros have been combined just as the New Jersey Devils and New Jersey Knights.
This week, Ross Taylor continues his brand-blending series by merging the new Ducks with the old Mighty Ducks — and throwing in a little green for good measure. I love the colors but I'm not sure the webbed D and the duck mask work all that well together.
A cougar hawk doesn't sound like anything I'd ever want to come across in the wild. Let alone Chicago. But of course it's Friday once again and that means Ross Taylor is on top of things blending brands and what not. So, half of this concept is clearly the Chicago Blackhawks, but does anyone here remember the Chicago Cougars? You might if you were around between 1972 and 1975 and followed the WHA.
So this Freak Out Friday is kind of a double feature. The concept above was Ross's revised set. Below you'll find the one he originally sent me — the one he wasn't as much a fan of.
Mainly, he didn't like how the crest turned out with the hockey rink shape. I don't blame him. The reason I'm even posting it is so you could get an idea of what the dark jersey might look like. But since they're both here, which do you prefer?
In this week's Freak Out Friday, Ross Taylor is merging the two incarnations of the Winnipeg Jets. The pair of hockey sticks in the logo is pretty clever. So what do you think? Is it better than either of the two real-life looks?
Ross Taylor continues to surprise week after week with his Freak Out Friday series. Just when you thought there are no more teams left to do, he finds another. This time it's the Buffalo Sabres, who've endured more than their share of identity issues over the last 42 years. But with this set, Ross is ignoring the Buffaslug years. Pretending that era never happened.
I have a bonus for you today!
One of Ross's earliest creations was also his most popular. Readers had a lot of love for his Colorado Rockalanche concept (a mix between the Avs and Rockies) back in March, so he decided to put the full uniforms on display.
Ross read your comments and made some changes, most notably with the addition of some yellow striping.
