JPDesign Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Next up from the Southeast division is the Washington Wizards. This was a fun challenge to try and reconfigure their uniforms to the football template. The stripe on the helmets is the Washington Monument, pulled from their logo. For the alts, I brought back their gold uniforms, which fit pretty well onto a football template as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macalesterscots Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I'm not feeling the gray bobcat. I don't see gray anywhere else on the uniform (except for the facemask) so I would consider coloring it orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darkpiranha Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Wizards looks good, but there's nothing remotely 'wizardly' about the logo elements you've chosen to incorporate. I had no idea what team it was just by looking at it at first glance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pittab Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Thanks for all the feedback, guys. I tried the full primary roundel, but it felt too busy. I also shied away from that because they don't use that mark on their uniforms. Then I tried the shamrock with the circle and "Celtics" around it, but it felt redundant with the jersey wordmark and I didn't want to use that. I think the numbers work well, I wasn't too fond of the blank white shell.Next up is the Knicks. I think these turned out really sharp. Their color scheme is great and the striping translated well here. The Orange/Orange/Blue would make a great alt set. I think the Redskins could take a few notes from these (minus the thin stripe, of course).Pair the orange helmet with the home set and you have a sweet little tribute to the Broncos old school design.

I had no idea what team it was just by looking at it at first glance.That's a pretty true statement, yet I would argue that the same could be said about their entire new identity: they do not use the Wizard logo anywhere on their uniforms or their court. As with all of these I tried to mimic what the team uses on court/uniforms. Thus, it felt a little odd to have the Wizard on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibimatty Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 The Washington one is little bit different to what you'd normally see on a gridiron team, I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FALCON6 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 DC is one of the best. You used their colors and patterns well. I like the logo on the helmet and the helmet color. Try some blue pants and getting rid of the shoulder stars on the throwback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFuture Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 The Wizards uniforms remind me a little bit of Northwestern's uniforms. In any event, I do have one suggestion: use the "dc" logo rather than the basketball for the helmet. Also, color one letter white and the other red since it'll be against a blue background. Very good job otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL_ArchMadness Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 The numbers on the front of the wizards is too small, and ya I think you should've use the actual wizard logo. But still a good looking concept http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/98633-2014-nfl-concept-expansion-series-dallas-cowboys/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDesign Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 FWIW the front numerals are the exact same height as every other front numeral in this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmiller5 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I like the Washington Monument stripe on the Wizards helmet, but I would flip it so that it doesn't look upside down. There could be some connotation there about the downfall of the monument, and I'm sure this wasn't your intent. I do agree with the above comments about there being no reference to Wizards; the logo looks good on a helmet but there is nothing about the uniforms that would be identifiable as them being the Wizards.

The numbers just looked small to me. great work though http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/98633-2014-nfl-concept-expansion-series-dallas-cowboys/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtrip Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I'd love to see all these without the wordmarks on the front, or maybe just small wordmarks like the Wizards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTswag187 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 2 problems I see.1) the yoke, it's conformed to the template making it not represent its basketball counterpart. It should be a straight line across2) The star should be further down the stripe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean F&F Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I think the Monument would work well as a pants stripe, facing upright. https://fandfsports.wordpress.com/Hockey Uniform Templates (Gimp/Photoshop) http://seanff.deviantart.com/gallery/52790653/Devious-Folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDesign Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Next is the Atlanta Hawks. I thought these worked pretty well as a modern, piping-induced football uniform. I don't love their basketball uniforms, so I'm kind of "eh" on these, but I kind of think they look better as football than basketball uniforms. For the alt helmet, I may have gone a little crazy. But I think that seeing a giant bird staring at you as you line up would be horrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
