Grand Rapids Griffins Contest Submission

For the last few years, PuckDrawn and the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL) hold a competition to design a hockey jersey worn for the team’s annual New Years Eve game. The jerseys are worn once, then auctioned off for charity.

I decided to make a Voltron-style Griffin logo, with a team jersey that resembled that robot somewhat (red arms!). Teams in the AHL wear white at home, a major design consideration here. I think it looks great - very Florida Panthers-like.

And yes, I am well aware of my obsession to see a robot on a sports jersey. This time it’s a coincidence, as I merely wanted to portray the team mascot with a different take. Really.
