davidmiller5 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I took a break from my MLB Combination of Eras thread to do the Cavs redesign contest that was on espn.com's Uni Watch page. Paul Lukas has now gone through them and highlighted some of them, so I thought I would put my submission to the contest on these boards for some feedback.Since I have been combining eras in my MLB thread, I decided to do the same with the Cavaliers. Here is my result:(click to enlarge)First of all, thanks to Tim E O'Brien for the template.I combined every era except their inaugural set. The only thing I felt was salvageable from their 94-03 look was the different colored line in the wordmarks and numbers. Obviously, I updated the font. I also updated the side striping by making it more narrow than what they wore back in the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad. Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 those logos are quite suspect, but the uniform designs are getting near something successful. a decent start. Red Goat Creations :: Graphic Design Solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyolaProp1 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 As far as the uniforms go, no real complaints, but I don't love them. I know that's not super constructive, but they almost seem vintage for vintage look sake. I think the idea for the logo is good, but they are a tad unbalanced. The weight of the logo is very top heavy and it goes way farther down than your eye wants it to. I would try and center the bulk of the logo a little more. A good start, keep working on it.

Shadojoker Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Good start so far. Cleveland has a history of either having very creative or extremely bland uniforms. Some design executions may not have been good but could be better as evidence by your concepts. (I love their 90s electric blue but they could've been executed less busy for example. I hate their current set but feels as though a lil blue here and a little more design elements and it would be nice.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Excellent job combining eras, but I feel like the uniforms look very dated, rather than a modern take on a classic uniform. I think a lot of it is just the font choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebigeh Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Not a fan of the lettering or numbers, but looks like a great idea nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidmiller5 Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Thanks for the feedback. I tried incorporating blue (both the navy and electric), but I kept finding I preferred the three-color look to a four-color scheme.For those who don't like the font, do you have other suggestions that keep the middle stripe?those logos are quite suspect, but the uniform designs are getting near something successful. a decent start.As far as the uniforms go, no real complaints, but I don't love them.
