My Ottawa Senators Jersey Design Concepts
Hi, everyone. We're all aware the Senators have never exactly had the kind of classic, timeless jersey designs that such teams as the Red Wings, Blackhawks, Maple Leafs, Canucks, Oilers and Flames have had throughout the years. I decided to do a quick jersey redesign with hopes that the public will support a more traditional, "retro" look that draws upon the team's history while also being refreshingly new. Hopefully you'll enjoy these concepts.
I wanted to incorporate elements of the pre-Edge Senators jerseys with the Jacob Barrette concept to form a familiar, yet "retro" look for the team. There are horizontal stripes across the torso similar to the ones in Barrette's design, and I've kept the striping fairly simple to give it the clean, classic look that most of the Canadian teams' jerseys have.
The home jersey (the red) looks a bit like the home jersey the Senators wore before the RBK switch but replaces the swirly horizontal line with more conventional striping. The away jersey is a color swap of the home jersey. Notice how the white in the stripe wraps around the logo (and how I've added the spiky "rear" part of the helmet back to the logo -- it had been removed from the back of the helmet in the logo redesign, for some reason).
The black alternate omits the white striping to hark back to the dark uniforms the Senators wore when they first re-entered the league in 1992.
