Pittsburgh MLS Concept

[Rampart]

Columbus is in need of a major rebranding. (get rid of the "Village People" logo and come up with something more befitting of Ohio's capital)

But anyway, this is a bit different:

Its less templated, which is good, but it seems a bit... whats the word... Flamboyant? Something like that.

Perhaps go for a simple old school look? i.e. team usa

Indeed the Crew need to overhaul their brand. I personally believe that Pittsburgh has more right to Black and Yellow than Columbus does and if the MLS said their would be only one B & Y team then I would have Pittsburgh be that team.

I would change Columbus' colours to the old Tampa Bay Buccaneers colours and add reflective silver and call them the Columbus Road Crew....an animated orange barrell could be their mascot.

I like the stripes, but the yellow collar is a bit much. Again, I think a small blue collar would be a nice touch.

Nice work - I really like the Logo and the black and black/yellow striped uniform from the 1st and 23rd post.

Now, stripes, that I can get behind. A bit of a nod to the old-old-old Steelers look. I still think it could use a touch of the light blue in the detailing somewhere.

Oooh, I like those stripes. But something about the yellow yoke on the shoulders makes me think of Robin, from "Batman and ... "

To tell the truth, that would fit Pittsburgh much better. (If youve been here the past month youd know what I mean)

I think all it needs is a white lining around the logo to distinguish it apart from the black and yellow stripes- other than that im very impressed

[AJM]

Love the crest...the kits remind me of the Crew. Otherwise, sweet job.

Orange Barrell season is still open?

Oh yes.

Okay, last bit of tinkering:

The triangle on the crest seems a bit unnessicary to me, other than that this is the best one.

Yep. I was really on the fence about the triangle and I think you're right. I really wanted to put a golden triangle somewhere on the image, but I guess it's best not to clutter it up.

Unless you redesign the shield and make that a triangle, like this.....

wonderful work, I love the crest it is so classy. The Jersey do look a lot like the Columbus Crew. I'd like to see how they would look if yellow was the primary, or maybe use some of the blue for the piping

Instead of going with the vertical stripes, why not take a cue from your team's (and city's) crest. Inspired by the Croatian national soccer kit, why not bust out black/gold checkerboards? You can play it off as an homage to the city as well as the many Eastern Europeans who settled in the area (well, at least one small subsection of them... ). No one else is rockin' the checkerboards. Make it happen.

How far is Pittsburgh on getting a team? Seattle is in line for the next isnt it? I'd love to see some of those concepts.

[powersurge]

I made some minor tweaks on the logo. It needed bigger balls.

WONDERFUL logo....but if I might nit pick a little bit, I will say that the tip of the end of the crest and the top part of the banner look awkward. I'd move either the banner down or the crest up a couple of nudges to align the two a little bit....and lose the triangle. After fixing that one thing you need to step away from the crest.

BTW, I think you're onto something with the stripes in the uniform. I'd reference the old classic Steeler Football jerseys from way back when. I think they had stripes too. I could be wrong.

Nice job though on everything!

...or say its meant to repilcate the pgh police's hats?...

about the small subsection of eastern europeans... I dont know how Pittsburgh got somewhat of a polish reputatuon when there are almost more Italians, Irish & Germans here.

But yeah, you could go croatia style with checkers, or spare us and use one section like the police's hats... wither way would look pretty unique.
