Rebrand Series: Senators 3rds

Well, when I posted my Senators rebrand last week I swapped out the primary colour of red for black, but I couldn't just leave the red by the waste side so, behold my rebranded Senators 3rd jersey.
There isn't really any rhyme or reason for the design but as it came together it definitely started looking more and more Senator-esque.  The one element I did really want to incorporate into the design is arrow feather/branch looking things, seeing as they've been a part of the Sens logo for a very long time.
The logo is taken from the Heritage jerseys that the Sens brought into existence a couple of seasons ago.  In the end, it all comes together to give the senators another unique jersey design that compliments the past, present and future of the franchise.

Rebrand Series: Ottawa Senators

A few years ago the Senators introduced a 3rd jersey with the wordmark SENS across the front.  To say the least, this jersey was very unique, personally I kind of liked them although I know a lot of people were appalled by them.  That being said when they came out with their Heritage jersey 2 years ago they made a step in the right direction.  Those heritage jerseys look awesome and so when I was making a new jersey set I decided to build on the success of the Heritage jersey and make an away counterpart to complete the set.
You may not even notice that I've done anything to the logo, but if you take a closer look you will notice that what I've done is, I've taken 2 of the Senators logos and combined then together seamlessly. Most obviously, I've taken the Roman Senator and kept him as the focal point.  I took the red maple leaf from an alternate logo that the Senators used as a shoulder patch on a 3rd jersey they wore from 2000-2007 that includes this maple leaf and the Parliament building in Ottawa.  The mission in making this logo was to keep the Senators unique Roman soldier element, but to also pay homage to the fact that they are located in the nation's capital so you've gotta represent somehow.

I See Your Stars and Stripes and I Raise You Some Canadian Heritage: Ottawa Senators

I must have designed the Rangers jersey and the Senators jersey pretty close together cuz both of them scream patriotism to the max!  This Senators jerseys sports the shoulder patch the Sens used to wear with the parliament building crested together with a maple leaf.  From there I decided to use the maple leaf as the focal point of the rest of the jersey; putting it on the bottom of the jersey and the sleeves.  While it looks a bit cluttered I like how it turned out:
