mattr1198 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Hey all! Decided to do a fun jersey series during this NBA offseason. These fun alternate jerseys I will be making will all reflect the team name and team name only, as you will see, quite literally. I will be moving down in order of division in each conference and in order of city name in each division. I will kick this series off with these three teams: Boston Celtics: The same look as the Celtics' mascot Brooklyn Nets: Quite literally the weaving of a basketball net. New York Knicks: Since many of you may not know what a Knick is, its short for Knickerbocker, which is an older term for a New Yorker. Thus, the retro vest and tie top and brown pants. More will be coming soon if y'all like this series idea! Template credit to therealpepman NYC x STL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigers Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Interesting idea, kudos to you. Logano wins BOWL before Chargers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattr1198 Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 Following the previous three are the last two in the Atlantic Division: Philadelphia 76ers: Since a 76er is not a literal thing/person, I used a colonial 18th century suit design, similar to that on the dribbling Ben Franklin logo. Toronto Raptors: Self-explanatory CC and comments are welcome! Next Up: Central Division NYC x STL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krz Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 That raptors jersey works really well. Can’t wait to see the pelicans. Excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDTrey4 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Loving the number font on the Raptors. Can't wait to see what some of these look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitalogy26 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Please tell me the bird teams come with actual wing extensions and the suns and heat just literally light their players on fire. But seriously: such a creative idea and I can’t wait to see the Heat and Suns and Blazers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigers Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Yeah that Raptors is better than their last season set. Logano wins BOWL before Chargers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattr1198 Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Decided to finish up today (with work during the week eating up more time) with two more unique ones from the Central Division: Chicago Bulls: Red bull fur texturing, but featuring the wordmarks, logos, and numbering as "branded on". I also added an optional/extension headband, where the headband literally has bull horns on it, adding more to the gimmick. Cleveland Cavaliers: A yellow cavalier uniform with a holster for a sword (down the side of one pant leg) The rest of the Central soon to come...

_DietDrPepper_ Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Numbers on Cavs could be white? Otherwise, all these idea are very clever! My favorites being Bulls (You could make the numbers and wordmarks a bit darker for more contrast but it looks nome the less) I also love New York.

Chawls Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I’m interested to see how you’re going to tackle the Thunder, Mavericks, and the Lakers abstract concepts. Bonus points if you can portray thunder without lightning. Quote If you hadn't noticed, Chawls loves his wrestling, whether it be real life or sim.

tigers Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Those Bulls set are great. One suggestion is to do a circle with the lines to the numbers to make it look more like a proper brand like the Wranglers of the defunct WLAF. Logano wins BOWL before Chargers.

mattr1198 Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 Added is the rest of the Central Division: Detroit Pistons: A literal Piston, because a car isn't literal enough... Indiana Pacers: Instead of going with a pace car, I went with the checkered flag design since a Pacer isn't a literal thing. Milwaukee Bucks: Deer fur. Unlike the Bulls, antlers are a bit too large to fit on a headband unfortunately... Added Bonus: A freebie from the Southwest Division, since I accidentally made it out of order... Orlando Magic: Who doesn't love a good magician (featuring a fun jacket design and cape)! NYC x STL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Loving this series so far. The Pistons is quite provocative lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRC4 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 When I first opened this up on my browser I saw only the top half of the Pistons and thought "that's pretty neat". And then I scrolled down to see the circle on the shorts and about spit my pop on my screen. Fantastic. This whole series has been fantastic.

Conrad. Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I was imagining the Pistons uni to be grey since pistons are silver... Also, I'm loving that Magic uni, lol. Red Goat Creations :: Graphic Design Solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattr1198 Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 3 hours ago, RichO said: Raptors should have feathers. Velociraptors had feathers I know they do, but we're going with the Jurassic Park version of Raptors that the original logo and mascot are based off and everyone knows.
