NBA Uniform Redesign Project


AAO

Recommended Posts

Here's a new mini project i'm working on, just to keep busy. I'll be going by 5 teams in alphabetical order. The Bobcats' had to be skipped because right now i only have Illustrator 9 and the Bobcat's logo sheet wouldn't open in Illustrator 9, so i'll have to come back to the Bobcats. Also, you can't warp text in Illustrator 9, or else i would've arched the Celtics' wordmarks and the Bulls' wordmarks. (*The Celtics' alternate wordmark is an unused wordmark copyrighted by the Celtics. The Cavs' alternate wordmark is one I created, just cancelling out the 'alier' in 'Cavaliers' to make 'Cavs'.*) I kept the same logos, just new uniform designs:

hawks- really really good, except for alt.

celtics- nothing to outstanding, but better than current, like the alt.

bulls-okay, but they will never change from their unis they won like 6 championships in

cavs- nothing too new, iffy on the alt

mavs- nothing to new, but i still like em

I really like the Hawks, Cavs(not to hot on the "Cavs" wordmark, I think it would look better with a full wordmark), and Mavs. The Bulls and Celtics ones are alright and would be improved alot with arched wordmarks but like you said, you can't.

The Mavs set is a vast improvement over what they have imo.

Excited to see what you do with the Wolves :P

Hawks: I like the number font and the overall design. Maybe add more gold.

Celtics: Adding gold really works for this. Also, I really like the "Celtics" font on the black jersey. It's tough to mess with the Celtics, but I'd say this is pretty good.

Bulls: I like what they have now, but this isn't bad. Putting "Chicago" on the road jersey is an improvment

Cavs: Not enough blue on the road jersey, but it still looks sharp. The navy alternate is awesome.

Mavs: A defenite improvment. I like ditching the silver numbers on the road jersey and I really like the blue alternate.

Overall: Great job

I give you credit for all your hard work. But the template on most of them seems to be the same. And to change the Celtics is a big NO, NO! Sorry, you do not futz around with the uniforms of the most-successful basketball team in history, the 16-time World Champion BOSTON CELTICS! That would be like eliminating the Yankee pinstripes or removing the sainted "CH" from the Habs' sweaters. It just ain't done, pal. :mad::mad::mad:

Dude, it's an experiment. Ian is far more a veteran of these boards than you and certainly knows the Celtics history. Hell, the Celtics even created an altenate jersey last year and it looked real nice, so I guess you can fool with the Celtics and have it look good. You might not remember, but way back when, the Celtics used uniforms with a font similar to the one Ian used here, along with the clover logo, so if anything, he is putting some ancient history back into the BoCelts uniforms. And upon a quick five second inspection, I can tell that none of these uniforms has the same template.

thanks for covering that one up for me tempest, appreciate it. And actually yea, the wordmark on the Celtics' alt is straight from their NBA logosheet...that is an official wordmark property of the Celtics, and i wanted to use it for the alt. And if bulldog truly believes the templates are the same, he doesn't know a damn thing about uniform design. but keep the c&c coming guys...

The only one I dont think is amazing is the Cavs alternate. I still like it but its just not as good as the rest. I dont think the piping looks so good on that jersey.
