Alphabet Man Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 i know many of you ppl dream on running or are running your own apparel/design company so someone may be interested in this on the Kombat Sports site it explains what they do to make the uniforms etc. it's just at the bottom of the main page and just click on the square pics....some are not complete but they are adding many new pageshere are the direct link to the pages:About UsPlanningManufacturingArt / PrepressEmbroideryPrinting (coming soon)Sublimation (coming soon) twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmered Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 I had a look at the Kombat site, especially the footy jumpers page.Virtually every design featured a North American team logo.Eg SunCoast Power - Golden State WarriorWide Bay Bulls - Chicago BullsThere was also Carolina Panthers, and a few college logos too.What really interested me what this nasty looking little fella.I'm sure I've seen this logo on these boards.Is that correct? Oh, and I've got a site.Footy Jumpers Dot Com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphabet Man Posted September 24, 2004 Author Share Posted September 24, 2004 yeah, alot of things are copied from NA logos...... i just ignore the logos and look at the main design ......these are Queenslanders so don't expect them to know much-especaially when they put logos on Aussie Rules jumpers.... (i think they did a lot of gooogling; cos they have a flames jersey in the Lawn Bowls section that i found in google) twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i think they did a lot of gooogling; cos they have a flames jersey in the Lawn Bowls section that i found in google) I did a search on the teams, and in most cases they don't exist.I think those are designs of what they could do, not what they have done.I asked them or some graphics files and the guy told me he didn't know how to help me. I don't think he knew what an eps or ai file was. Which doesn't fill me with confidence about them.

Alphabet Man Posted September 25, 2004 Author Share Posted September 25, 2004 one of the pages it says they use Adobe Photoshop and CorelDraw - not Illustrator which has been well documented as one of the best programs to use by members of CCSLC... i wouldn't say they are or would be as good as the bigger companies (especially when they don't know how to help people) twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphabet Man Posted September 25, 2004 Author Share Posted September 25, 2004 oh.. and how origianal is that bulldog design AFL jumper?? twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number55 Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 FWIW Kombat outfit a fair few basketball teams around the place, including a couple of the bigger teams (I wouldn't expect you to know anything about basketball, you're only a Victorian...none of your teams even made the semis last year. I won't even go on to AFL seeing as my Lions reamed the Saints pretty badly this season). I personally wouldn't use Kombat, have heard they have big reliability problems. Their actual clothing is very good, but when left to their own devices to come up with something they tend to use existing logos (an example is a High School team here in Brisbane called Shailer Park Sting, Kombat made them these snazzy gold and blue basketball uniforms, with a Charlotte Sting logo larger than life on the front...original).But yeah, their actual uniform designs are interesting.

Primal Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 I can understand how they may have AFL/NRL/SANFL etc permission to use certain Australian logos, but there's no way that use of NFL, NHL, and college logos can be above board...Above all? Most of those jumpers are UGLY. VERY ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphabet Man Posted September 26, 2004 Author Share Posted September 26, 2004 gee... the only person that lives in rugby Territory around here likes the kings......but still goorjian should still be coaching the TITANSand his company, AND1, dropped there sponsorship of the Melbourne Tigers because the Tigers wanted to give Gorrjian a special something before a game to honour what he did for Victorian Basketball....talk aobut arrogance twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

number55 Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Yo Aussie, chill out man. I only bit you because you came off all half-assed about QLDers...truce? We should probably stick together in the face of all these Yanks Just out of interest, do you other Aussies know of any decent uniform companies around the place? The only one I've used is Proball for basketball gear - they're top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vortex are alright..... my basketball uniform is made by them and it has lasted about 5 yeears (but my shorts are nearly footy short)- google search for themYo Aussie, chill out man. I only bit you because you came off all half-assed about QLDers...truce? We should probably stick together in the face of all these Yanks well, last time i saw natural QLDers was at the footy- St Kilda-Kangaroos in 2002 i think and a group of them went to the Telstra Dome food joint and a few of them walked into the turnstile instead of pushing it!!! have you not heard the QLDers are dopey??? twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number55 Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Yeah I guess, from my point of view the only Victorians I know are objectionable know-it-all wankers. I just wish they would leave QLD to the people who really live here and go home to their rainy, windy, miserable state. Yeah, we have a nice slow pace to things here, doesn't mean all of us are bumpkins any more than meeting a few wanker-VICs means you're all like that.There are a lot of good things about VIC. Being a basketball nut I especially appreciate your basketball heritage, but really, I don't think the rest of the country likes VICs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
