Presidio of Monterey Fire Captain designs First Responders Night logo for San Jose Sharks

SAN JOSE, Calif. (KION-TV) -- A Presidio of Monterey Fire Captain is being credited for designing the San Jose Sharks First Responders Night logo ahead of their home game against the Nashville Predators.
Sylas Jumper says he grew up in San Jose and that art helps to keep his head straight.
"With the street art and car art I gravitated towards a lot," says Jumper. "Also growing up skateboarding in downtown San Jose and putting all of that culture together. I've enjoyed doing all kinds of that art and mixed media type deal."





Jumper describes the main inspiration for the design as "simple," making adjustments to the triangle design that surrounds the current Sharks logo and replacing it with a fire hose.
Jumper also replaced the hockey stick being bitten into by the Shark with a fire hose.
The shoulder patch is a mixture of a fire helmet and the shark fin.
"Working with the sharks is a crazy opportunity," Jumper said. "I'm very honored to be a part of it. It's just another stepping stone in my artwork."
Before the game, a couple of Sharks roster members and staff could be seen wearing the jersey with Jumper's design.
The Sharks are expected to auction off some of the jerseys, with proceeds going to the San Jose Fire Department Burn Foundation.
