I didn’t know you were a graphic designer. Nice.
In theory you’re right but I feel like there aren’t all that many unique hockey jersey fonts, and European leagues likely use a lot of the same ones. Plus the characters might not be that different, i.e. a ‘U’ with a couple dots over it, etc.
Thanks, I agree with you for the most part. I just couldn’t help but think about it since it’s what I deal with on a daily basis.
And yes, there is certainly a drawer of general hockey fonts you could pull from. A lot of 3rd party jersey makers have a set list to choose from and they can be applied pretty universally.
I think a majority of clubs would probably have no problem implementing the new characters but you may have a few instances around the league like with third jerseys and likely some of the newer clubs like Seattle that may have a fun time with a certain character or two just not working.
I think it would be cool to see honestly, the Russian factor is definitely a tough one to get around if you want to make it totally inclusive. But I think the idea highlights and celebrates how much of a global league the NHL is
