derschwigg Redesigning my old High School - Soccer Kits!

[drdougfresh]

Very, very nice work amigo. I recently rebranded my high school too and it's so much fun to think about what COULD be if you had the creative reigns and a limited budget.

Minor nitpick on the wordmark -- I know you modified it already, but the one thing that threw me from the start as I read through this was the 'O'. You've got basically square proportioned letters until you get to that one, the width makes it seems pinched. I would make it a little more square to balance things out.

I couldn't find a baseball uniform template that I liked. So I made this one.

[JB83]

Looks good! I'd totally wear one of those hats

[_nxche]

That template is great, as are the jerseys. Only suggestion would be that I think the standalone "M" logo would suit the hat quite well.

The design work in this thread is phenomenal. Patriots is a fairly common mascot, and you've made it absolutely unique. Kudos.

However, your template doesn't include stirrups/socks. Especially for your throwback set, some hosiery would set it off.

[Jake3roo]

Wow, nice work. Is it possible for you to release that template?

[BenD]

can you do one of the football with a blue helmet, white jersey, and red pants, more like the first uni you posted

[XcellNoah]

Yes... For the "Patriots" jerseys, the hat should don the M

Well, this is embarrassing. That was my initial plan. Looks like that layer got hidden, haha!

Thanks! And yeah, looking at it now, it really should have a pair of socks or something in there. I'll see what I can do.

Thanks! Once it's done (read 'added socks')/formatted a bit more friendly, I can absolutely release it. It's a Photoshop file right now, but admittedly, the grouping/layers could be a bit more "user-friendly." Have you ever really dissected a Fraser template? :censored:'s immaculate, yo.

EDIT: REALLY? I can't say an s-word for doodie? Ok.

Sure, but I never posted a uni with that specific scheme.

EDIT: I can't believe this came together so quickly. Here's the Stirrup addition!

That template is beautiful. Well done on all of this!

[DanOtis]

Here's a color corrected red!

Yep! That's what I was looking for.

This is a great template. I like that a lot. Great job on the colors. Just some thoughts:

- The edges could use a cleanup - especially the hat and the (Patriots) lettering.

- The Logo (M on the other jerseys - not on this one) and the Patriots lettering should be a bit smaller in my opinion. As this is a flat template - lots of the logo and the lettering would not be visible as the areas are covered under the arm or would get lost in the chest/arm area.

- The drop shadow for the logo and the lettering is too long - it looks like it is floating over the jersey and not stitched onto it.

- Also consider a smaller drop shadow for the kit.

- Perhaps try some lighter dark in the corners. Right now it is a lot of "spot on". I'm not so sure about that point but perhaps you just give it a try.

All the best wishes

I'd like to see the grey baseball jersey have pinstripes, of any color because pinstripes look classy. I skimmed through the series, and it's definitely great. I really feel that HS teams should go to independent designers for their work, before they should even think of pirating.

Agreed.

I also think most designers would comp this to their alma mater.

The bragging rights are far more valuable then any fee.

Thanks! But I feel the need to respond to some of your points:

- The edges could use a cleanup - especially the hat and the (Patriots) lettering. They do. It might be the blocking technique on the hat (what prevents the color from bleeding off the edges, but I did a simple stroke within Photoshop for the wordmark. Adding the stroke in Illustrator and then copying over would easily fix the issue. It's not done, but it's really REALLY close.

- The Logo (M on the other jerseys - not on this one) and the Patriots lettering should be a bit smaller in my opinion. As this is a flat template - lots of the logo and the lettering would not be visible as the areas are covered under the arm or would get lost in the chest/arm area. Fair point.

- The drop shadow for the logo and the lettering is too long - it looks like it is floating over the jersey and not stitched onto it. The template itself is an edited version of this:

I actually didn't use a drop shadow on any of the actual material - I did base my shadows (lettering/piping/M) on them, though. Since we're talking about a high school here, I imagine they'd go for more of an applique over stitching. That's why the shadow is there.

- Also consider a smaller drop shadow for the kit. See above.

- Perhaps try some lighter dark in the corners. Right now it is a lot of "spot on". I'm not so sure about that point but perhaps you just give it a try. You mean the vignette? I could lessen it, I suppose, but I don't really think it needs it.

The "flag" part of the M resembles my personal logo, awesome work and fantastic presentation as always.

My school's baseball jerseys have stitching, take that as you will, but just some personal experience.

Haha no worries man, we've all been there

And here's the Basketball set! I was going to do a football field, but remembered that they actually share the field with the other Millard schools...I might just have to design Millard North and Millard West as well (teaser???).
