slapshot Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 The face seems like a cross between a lion and a camel, and it reminds me of a stuffed animal...I think the snout is too long. It's not angry or roaring, so it has a majestic quality about it, but it's not quite done yet.

rynoz10 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Looks good. I like the Lion head a lot. I don't think it needs anything, it's fine with no teeth showing. It's a prideful lion. I like the colors, although I would like to see more of the royal than the navy blue. Also, the "Kansas City" in the main mark could be a little bigger. It kinda gets lost. I like this a lot as a redesign for KC. Very nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustangdmg Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Great stuff! The only thing I'd like to see is keep the royal blue. Navy blue just doesn't gel with me. Guess I'm a traditionalist at heart. The Arizona High School Helmet Project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quantum Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Although I like what you've done here, the colors are too much like the Brewers. I think if you used something other than navy for a jersey color, the Brewer comparison wouldn't be there. Maybe use gold for a jersey?

VitaminD Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 ... and don't they have to wear gray pants if they're the away team? Other than that, nice job. Actually, Discrimihater posted a very nice explanation about this recently on another thread. A team can wear white pants on the road if given permission by their league. Back in the '80s when the Cubs wore only their royal blue pullovers on the road, they wore white pants with them.As for the design, I find it to be your best logo so far, and the set is a great concept - I like the addition of all of the gold. However, with a name like Royals, I agree with B&B, that royal blue ought to be the dominant color. I'd tone down the use of navy so as to be a trim color with gold, use royal blue as the principal color, and this is easily my favorite out of all of your stuff, and that's saying something because you are one of the best on this site.

KCScout76 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 A team called Royals needs more royal blue and less navy. I agree with the above statement, but AgainstAllOdds has a very good concept.I really love it!!! As a Royals fan (dispite getting raped by Seattle) I love this concept.

AceHawk447 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I actually like the concept, but it could be improved. A few suggestions: 1) I like the lion-head logo...it could be faced right and placed inside an updated shield.2) The "Royals" wordmark could be splashed across the bottom of said shield.3) Royal blue is perfect primary...old gold and either silver or columbia (light) blue for accents.[447] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrohr Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 A couple of comments from a Royals fan...1> First of all, damn man---this is solid! Very nicely done! I'm a pretty staunch traditionalist, so it takes a little to move me, but I really like the tertiary logo...not saying the lion isn't cool, but I'm more a fan of the KC2>The home jersey is very good, but the alt. is just outstanding. I really like the dark blue letters on the T-Wolves blue jersey.3> I like the road jersey as another alt. (the Royals currently have four jerseys), but I would like to see the roads stay gray. Keep the letters the same in color as the home, except make it the arched "Kansas City", and I think you'd have a good road jersey. 4> I'd love to see what you come up with for batting practice jerseys...I think the KC logo on the T-Wolves blue would be a start..Good stuff...I'd buy this gear in a second (and nice touch with R's prospect Denny Bautista on the back, although Grienke might be the better prospect).

The_Admiral Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 The lion is okay, I guess, but it's nothing I've ever associated with the KC Royals. Too much navy and gold, not enough royal blue. Why can't the numbers be straight block numbers? Even though IT'S THE FYOO-CHORR, some teams have gotta have plain old sports numbers. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogbarks55 Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 That'a a nice job. It must have been a lot of work. Weren't the Royals named after some "Royal Stock Show" involving cattle? I get the association with the Lion, but try one with a Bull.On the wordmarks. Royals is OK. I never really liked the block "Kansas City" on their road shirts. The script they used in their first few years was dynamite and a lot nicer . I don't care for white pants on the road. Road pants are GREY!And the number font says "basketball" to me. Try one with a little more fullness to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrh31584 Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I believe the Royals were named after the Monarchs of the Negro Leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankeeman Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 i still feel like the lion needs something more... How about whiskers?I really like this concept though. I especially like the KC/crown tertiary logo, and I think the alt is very unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I believe the Royals were named after the Monarchs of the Negro Leagues. But they're not called the Monarchs now are they.

p/k Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 you add a gold crown on that lion and its perfect.btw, I remember linking to a site where they would make your fantasy hockey jerseys for you, is there a site like that for baseball jerseys? I would consider having this made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
