andersaa Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 First off I am adding the Sails concept. It is mostly based on the original Sails logo and uniform, but updates colors. Some of my patterns did not make the switch from SVG(Made in Inkscape) to PNG. So I will be reporting this soon. The court and Navy patch are the main ones.

raz Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 It's "Anchors Aweigh" That blue is too electric for my tastes. And KC Fountains? What's the significance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andersaa Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Thanks for the Anchors Aweigh note. Kc is the city of fountains, which also why there is a huge fountain in the Royals Kaufman stadium. I also like the imagery of the water flow of a fountain like a basketball shot arch.

andersaa Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Next I will post my home town Sonics. I have a lot of old Sonic elements but remade the entire image. New color scheme is similar to the past but using Apple and Emerald as the Greens as both have local significance. And instead of yellow using Old Gold. I used a Boeing jet as the base in the logo, while still using the Seattle Skyline from the past Sonics logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben5 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Try looking into getting a new set of fonts. There are plenty of places that have free athletic style fonts you can download. Keep in mind that every team doesn't need five different colors in their identity.Some might argue that NO team needs five different colors. The Colts just use two, for example. You might try breaking your presentation up into multiple images. When you have that much info on one image, it's hard to see the details without clicking and zooming in. That will get fewer eyes on your work. If you are going to include warm ups on the template, make them interesting. At least put the logo on the front of them. Or, you could just not include them. Make sure the depictions of your uniforms are consistent. For example, if you can see the jet plane from the front and back views of the uniform, then it better be visible from every single front and back view it is on. The plane is on all for sets, but it only appears six out of the sixteen times it should. Spend some time on your logos and wordmarks. The more you work on them and practice, the better they will look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeseBurger22 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 The sonics look great, no complaints there. For the sails, I think you should try a green jersey for the athlete, I would like to see a little variety instead of three blue jerseys and one white. They look very good though. The flamingos are very bright, which isn't a bad thing at all, they just look kinda sloppy, no offense. On the athlete jersey, either change the word mark on the shorts to black or get rid of it. Everything else looks good though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was planning on breaking them. but decided not to last minute, i will change that, The jet is in all on the uniforms in the svg, but the png export messed it up. i will find out the problem, plus i could do better in this any way.

The athlete Sails uni is basically an updated throwback, but i agree it is very blue. i will look for a solution. i will play around with the Flamingos and try to clean it up a bit. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daredevil Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 What does rain have to do with whales? Vancity? Does everyone in Vancouver drive Econolines or something? The Fountains look too much like the Clippers and the Golden Eagles...no gold to be found anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andersaa Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Rain has to do with Vancouver, which is also called Van City. Yes the Fountains and Clippers have similar color schemes. I think they look too much like the Jayhawks. Golden Eagle is a type of eagle. Not the color of the eagle. Gold is one of the accent colors and on the eagle on the collar.

I would recommend not putting anything on that part of the court. It sounds very cheesy, kind of like "supersonics are back". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
