MrWonka Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 So, if anyone knows me well, I do not mess around with NBA often. As far as tradition goes, I know the most popular teams but other teams I'm not so sure on. In this case, I'm pretty sure the Knicks have some foundation with a traditional look, no? Well, this goes what I believe to be in a very different direction the Knicks have ever gone to. To me, it's a mix of traditional design with modern design. Not sure if I should continue this concept further (full on primary, secondary marks, white jersey, court design). Depending on the responses I may continue this. Hopefully, there is something to build on. Let me know! Template found @Webpixum .com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWonka Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 Really not sure if I'm going to continue this series. Would really love some feedback to see if this is liked at all or if it might be a lost cause for the Knicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Lucas Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I have mixed feelings about the concept. As a closet Knick fan, I love the removal of gray and I think the piping could work for them. The "Knicks" wordmark/font is where you lose me. I could see them having a jersey that says "Knicks" on it, but, respectfully, this one kinda seems generic...like the Wolves' new uniform. I think a team like the Knicks, in a city like New York, need something bolder. Try bringing back the Ewing-era font...you'll see people get on board with that. At least, I would. Keep at it, you're off to a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason I was working with the Knicks concept like this was to get away from that tradition and what I call "generic". Wanted to try to give it a simple feel but trying to modernize the brand.

Paul Lucas Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 New Yorkers are big on tradition...we're a proud bunch. Even Met/Jet fans are proud and they've stuck for a while. Look at all our teams' uniforms...they all have some (or a lot of) link to the past. The glories of yesteryear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally understandable, I guess that's why I took on this challenge. Giving the team a new feel while still trying not to go full "modern" on it. So I definitely want to utilize something really unique not only to the uniform but the whole look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
