Chicago Fire third kit

Recommended Posts

I had about 50 concepts in mind--some of which I liked much more--but this is what I actually submitted. Hoping that relative simplicity wins out, but it is a public voting contest, so it'll probably be something crazy that wins. After all, look at what won the contest in LA.

I'm already quadruple guessing myself.

I plan on posting all my concepts later today or tomorrow. Just curious about feedback. Thanks in advance.

OK. Turns out I had a lot more than 50 concepts. More like 90-100.

Reminiscent of the recent MLS All Star Game kits:

Either way, here are a few more:

On a side note: Is it considered douchey to plaster that watermark? I'm assuming yes, so I'll remove it in the future; the contest isn't over yet, so just being cautious, I guess.

Always appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

Below may be my favorite, but if I wanted to win, I felt I needed to submit something with the powder blue from the Chicago flag. People loved the third kit from ~2005.

I like that white one the best. The phantom sash looks amazing. I could definitely see this on the field.

Thanks for the feedback.

Now if you're gonna go crazy, that's how you do it. That's subtly brilliant. You'd probably need to leave the stripes off the back, so that the numbers are legible. I also might leave the crest in its original colors. Otherwise, though, a great "out-of-the-box" concept.

Leaving the stripes off the back didn't even occur to me. Probably should have. Although I like this design, I could see it being a good commemorative kit, not third. As for the crest, this is from the Illustrator file the Fire provided for the contest. I just left it as is.

Thanks!

By far my favorite. Maybe you could make the stripes kind of wrap around, but not touch? To be quite honest, this Fire-fighter look is probably one of my favorite soccer concept design ive ever seen. The Tv show Chicago Fire would probably love that as well!

If you haven't already seen, here are the five finalists:

Maybe it's sour grapes (more like probably), but I'm kind of underwhelmed. I'd probably go with #2 or #5.
