It was really exciting to create Marty Turco's design for Chicago's third jersey. When I created Marty's first two Chicago masks with gargoyles as Indians, another perfect idea for a Chicago theme popped up...a maffia and Al Capone theme, of course still with the gargoyles... Marty loved the idea as much as I so I started to rock with the design.
I created one gargoyle on each side, with cigars and white hats, just like Capone... And of course also a big scar all over the face like Capone, or Scarface as he also is called... One of them is holding a tomy gun, and the other a bloody baseball bat... If you have seen the awesome film The Untouchables with Robert De Niro as Al Capone, you know what Capone could do with a baseball bat...
Marty and I both loves much details, in the background you find a Chicago skyline from the 30s...and Capone's car ready for a flying start...and the gun holes on the sides of the mask are natural on a mask like this...
