It was a privilege to be a small part in these monumental events for this city I've grown up calling home, as I had the honor of designing not one, but two World Championship logos this year with Utica as the host city.
Yesterday at work I became an animator. It was a fun project and I was really happy with how it came out.
Also this was a really fun logo to design. More on that later...
WE’RE CHEFFING UP A ONE-GAME REBRAND 🍝
On January 21st, it won’t be Utica City FC taking on the Texas Outlaws— it’ll be the Utica Riggies!
Check out all of the information on the logo, Toni, and more ⤵️

A City Of Blue 💙
As we head into 2024 with our strongest start in franchise history, we want to thank you all for the incredible support that the team has received from our community each and every night.
You all make the @ADKBankCenter one of the toughest buildings to play at in the @MASLarena with every bit of your energy and we're beyond grateful.
We're looking forward to plenty more goals very soon— here's to a great rest of the season and '24! 🥂

From being an incredible NHL affiliate to hosting 2 AHL all-star games, adding a pro indoor soccer team, building the incredible Nexus Center and now hosting the world’s best, the org is the ultimate small market sports business success story. Congrats Rob and team!! 🔥🔥🔥

10 years ago, Utica was a city with no AHL team and a battered old arena. Now they’re a jewel of @TheAHL and set to host the ‘24 IIHF women’s world championship at the fantastic @ADKBankCenter.So thrilled for @robertesche, his staff at the @UticaComets and the people of Utica.1/2

@LFMounties sophmore Miah Stutts designed today’s @UticaComets home jerseys. Way to go Miah.
Shout out to Miah (14) of Little Falls for the inspiration for these. Always wanted to do a kid designed jersey. Definitely something different than we would have ever done otherwise, and it's refreshing! #KidsDay @UticaComets @icethetics @UniWatch @sportslogosnet
I may have snuck in a #MAR10Day easter egg in tonight's game day graphic. 🤓
Three down, one to go.
And one month away from the last one, and I had a little help with that design. #KidsDay
2022-23 Specialty Jerseys:
✅ Veterans Day
✅ Save of the Day Week
✅ Utica Weekend
❓ Kids Day
Looking like a blue vs yellow jersey matchup for the AHL Outdoor Classic and I'm liking what I see on both sides.
And as long as I'm finally actually using Twitter today; if you haven't seen this video, you might want to check it out!
