andrewharrington Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I like the basic premise behind Toledo's look, but there are a few peeves I have with it. I hate wordmarks on helmets, so that's out in favor of just the Rocket. I used tapered stripes to mimic the shape of the Rocket's exhaust in the logo. With a name like Rockets, a modern uniform is much more fitting than a traditional one, in my opinion. Not too many changes overall. I did edit the Nashville Preadators' numbers to create the numbers you see here, which mimic the letters in the TOLEDO wordmark. For the record, I eyeballed the colors to come up with PANTONE estimates before I found out the actual values, and I was right on with both the blue and yellow, so I felt special at that point in time.

ahub Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Excellent concept. Very sleek without being loud like the current set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrich11 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I like it Much better than the halter tops they wear now.Still, the home uni set needs a touch of yellow in the bottom half. Lots of yellow and blue above the waist, none below. Needs a little balance.Road jerseys: excellent, and well-balanced. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I like it. An awful lot. Your Rocket on the helmet looks fantastic. Much better than the little Rocket with TOLEDO underneath it. Fantastic work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankee Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Very nice! I don't see anything I don't like about it except for the number font. The 4 is a bit strange, but nice work overall! It's definitely an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoDey42 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Very nice! Much, much better than the current ones. The helmet is awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quantum Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Although I'm not the biggest fan of going retro, Toledo's retro style rocket logo is one of my favorites.I like this design. I think helmet logos that mix image and text don't work well. "One of my concerns is shysters show up and take advantage of people's good will and generosity".

Bearcats Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 WOW Only thing I don't like is the lack of yellow in the home pants. These are sweet.Any chance of a yellow alt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect Zero Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Very nicely done! I like the the way you didn't use the bibs for the homes, and the aways are nicely done. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oz615 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Make the facemask yellow and you got yourself a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Make the facemask yellow and you got yourself a winner. My thoughts too. Everything else looks great. I like the yellow facemask though. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HatCityEnforcer Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I like these for Toledo...and it works pretty well with either the blue or yellow mask.That being said, as a UConn fan, I was glad the Huskies beat them as ugly as those current threads the Rockets wear in the Motor City Bowl last year FANTASY TEAMSHousatonic U.

PackerBadger Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 First: NO WHITE ROAD PANTS!The rest looks great. In fact, if you inserted lightning bolts, this would be a great Chargers concept, for those not wedded to the powder blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
