mattb6 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I noticed this sitting on my computer from a few months ago and thought I'd post it:I went back to a red helmet and silver pants, with a stripe design similar to the sharp feathers on the logo.

ZionEagle Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I actually really love this design. It's unique, but it seems achievable.Nice job. "Winners never quit, and quitters never win." ~Vince Lombardi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pianoknight Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 i feel the red is a little to pinkCould be a monitor/coloration issue. Hues aside, I love the design. It doesn't fall into the classic sleeve stripe motif and it's also not modern-piped-to-death-or-chrome. It's a unique design on it's own. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

Roryfan Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Great look. I would probably go back to the black helmets though or maybe even silver. Red just doesn't look very professional to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodrinsky Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 no its pink on all of my presetsNo, it's not: it is amaranth red (between red an magenta), which is far flung from being pink.

I'll give a black helmet a go (I was a little worried about looking too much like UGA), and probably a red and white jersey up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrylawless3 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Try eye-dropping the red in the logo to see how that compares to the rest of the set. That seems to be closer to the real color than the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrcollis714 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 i feel the red is a little to pinkYou design is definitely unique and cool, but I completely agree with llfhocckey that the red is too pink. Make it brighter, like their current red.

Azsports1985 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I absolutely love this design from top to bottom. Only slight issue I have is the helmet stripe. I'd like to see it without, but otherwise, this is superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavePunter Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I'd go with a truer scarlet (1/4 of the way between red and orange on standard color wheel - or 1/8 between red and yellow).. The brightness of the slight orange hue would really help the red stand out on the black, as well as giving a more fierce, swift, and aggressive feel..Also, it needs white or silver numbers with red outline instead of red numbers with silver outline.. Visibility issue with color-on-colorBut, with all that said, I REALLY like this look for the Falcons.. Their current look is distinct, but it's kinda abstract, and most people would probably struggle to describe or draw the details of their current design.. Your version would almost slide seamlessly into rotation with little notice from the casual fan (apart from the helmet), and would be universally well received by uniform nerds. Great job!

EvanBirchfield Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 As a Falcons fan, I appreciate the concept. Not a fan of the should stripes that come across the chest, but the black jersey is welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavePunter Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 As a Falcons fan, I appreciate the concept. Not a fan of the should stripes that come across the chest, but the black jersey is welcomed.I think the red chest stripes "stick out" more when they have equal color value to the numbers.. White or silver numbers would contrast against the jersey much more starkly, allowing the red chest stripes to bleed into the black of the jersey slightly more, reducing any jarring effect the stripes have currently.. Personally, I love the stripes and think they should be seen and appreciated, but I can see where a traditionalist might not like them, and using the lighter numbers would fix number visibility issues along with visually tying the chest stripes into the jersey design better.. (for the record, my vote is for white numbers with silver outline then red outline, or if you only want two colors, silver with red outline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moseph Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Very nice concept, I'd could actually see them going with something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brassmonkey84 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 looks great. I am working on some myself. I am a bucs fan so I of course wanted to change how they look lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHcreative Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 This is a really great, modern concept without going over the top. As others have said, fix the red and you have a real winner. Great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb6 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 So I gave it a try with black helmets, and with a modified red. For the record, I had taken the red straight from the Falcons, but I modified it a bit because I wasn't in love with the color to begin with. I also made a white jersey paired with new black pants, and a red alternate paired with the silver britches, but could be paired with black. In addition to the normal set, I made a Color Rush uniform, which is a bit of a departure from the basic set.I'll explain myself a bit- I kept red numbers on the black jersey. I wasn't a fan of how silver numbers looked, and I tried to keep white out of the concept. The black helmet is a lateral move in my opinion, I don't like or dislike it more than the red.As for the Color Rush set, I went with solid black with only red highlights from head to toe, which I think helps capture the "Color Rush" motif better. The plan was to have "ATLANTA" on one side of both the sleeve and the pants, but I didn't want to show two views of each, so pretend Atlanta is on the flipside of that. I didn't like how the falcon looked in just red and black, and didn't want it to look too out of place, so I went with a number instead, which I really like. Enjoy, and please send more critique. I feel I fixed the outstanding issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Lankford Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 My only issue is with the red on black striping on the helmet when the logo itself black on black. I'd personally like a litte more cohesion there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavePunter Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Might look good on paper, and you may disagree, but red numbers on black jersey is a HUGE mistake if these were to ever hit the field.. The primary, not the color rush.. I can overlook a bad design element for a one-off, but those numbers take a potential 9+/10 set down to Cleveland Browns 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
