The Rangers Rebranding Competition is in the books, so now it's time to move on to the next team as voted on by the fans: The Detroit Red Wings!

There are a couple of minor rule changes, so make sure you read through everything carefully. If I missed anything, or you have any questions about the competition, just ask me in the comments section and I'll respond a.s.a.p.

Red Wings Rebranding Competition Rules:

1. Team name: You may change the team name or keep "Red Wings". The team is still based in Detroit, so the city name may not change. If you decide to change the team name, a very brief explanation as to why is required. You may NOT use "Cougars" or "Falcons".
2. Team colors: Your choice.

3. Team logo: Create something original. You may not use the Red Wings primary logo, nor any of their past logos. Basically, no winged wheel and no old-timey "D".
4. Create a Home and Away concept. Third jersey design is not required, but if you wanna create one, have at it.

5. You may not create an updated version of a jersey or logo design from another team in any league (past or present) and call it a Red Wings rebrand.

6. You may submit more than one design. Alterations and re-submissions are allowed up to the submission deadline date.

7. Your submission must be ONE graphic presentation file. Don't send me a graphic with your uniform design and another graphic with your logos on it.

8. Sign your work!

Submission deadline is Monday, March 15th.

Technical info: When submitting your artwork, remember that the width of my blog content area is 470 pixels. So, if your presentation is wide, when I reduce it to 470 pixels, your logo/jersey images may appear smaller than you'd like.

Also the Michigan Stags of the WHA should be a team name that should not be used.

[Mayhem]

Not to be too picky, I really like Mike's design for the Pegasus, but why change the name of the city to Detriot?

Seriously, really nice job Mike.

[Ryan]

@Mayhem

Half the city is at the riot stage, maybe it's just a political statement? :P

[johnny griswold]

haha. I just noticed that it's "Detriot" instead of "Detroit" I wonder if it's a typo or a statement by Mike.

[Mike Ivall Design]

RIOT!! man RIOT!!

[Mayhem]

LOL. Looks intentional as I see he did it with his other Red Wing concept as well.

[The Fixer]

hmmm im debating whether or not to take an existing concept and modify it for this

[Wat]

hey we can't vote for Joel Masson !!!

[johnny griswold]

That's weird. I can see his name in the master poll on PollDaddy. I'll rebuild this, then reset the vote results. Luckily only a few came in so far!

[PK]

Why change any of the original 6? Seriously...these come off a AHL/ECHL rejected designs...

Almost Kings Burger King like

[johnny griswold]

@PK -
It's a design project intended to push designers to think differently. Way to catch on, fella.

[Mike Engle]

I voted for Muraro. Don't know whether it's intentional or not, but nice use of the pegasus. The horse, I interpreted as Motor City horsepower (and by extension, the Detroit Pistons, I guess); of course its wings are always red.

[sean]

haha DP! i almost voted based solely on that!

[islander]

Thanks for this. Now I have to wash my eyes out with muriatic acid.

[johnny griswold]

@islander -

I'd be happy to apply that for you. Just sayin

[Impotence causes]

I wish with all my heart that all is well. My name is David, from 4 years ago I dedicate my life to reading and reading, I love when I get home and I have the opportunity to find items as sensational as this. I congratulate the creators, because without doubt they have put a lot of dedication and commitment to this work.
