AnythingChicago Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I was wearing a lime green shirt under a brown hoodie the other day and thought 'Hmm, this could be a good colour combination for a baseball team.' Then I figured since Roswell, NM is famous for it's supposed alien invasions, hense the lime green, and it's in a desert, hense the brown, that this could work. So at noon today I started laying the bluebrint for the Roswell Invaders, and now at 4:30...voila! A few notes:'Ross' is on the back of each jersey because Cody Ross is from the general area of New Mexico that Roswell is in.The reason the names and numbers look the way they do is because that is what the font (Roswell) looks like. 'Twas not a tracing error. I've tried my best to make this look as pretty as possible.The logo on the Sunday Alt is a UFO in the outline of New Mexico.Hope you like! Click for gigant-ourmous size!

DelayedPenalty Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Mmmmmm...no. Green and brown can work together but not those two shades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicfurth Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 That's actually pretty nasty dude. Neon green can only work with a really dark color to counteract it. This is like eye rape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 that's what my would look like if i ate a green highlighter My fantasy teams: West Coast Cardinals (WRU), Glasgow Claymores (RLI) (Champions 2012) and Pemberton Foresters (VBL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnythingChicago Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 Thanks for the comments, guys! I'm trying to decide whether the UFO inside the state of New Mexico is a good idea. Right now, I might keep NM on the sleeve patch, but discontinue it on the Sunday Alt. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicfurth Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Not that shade. The lime is such an extremely bright color that you really need a extremely dark one to contrast well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnythingChicago Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Not that shade. The lime is such an extremely bright color that you really need a extremely dark one to contrast well enough.If I made the green less intense would that help?EDIT: I just tried it, it didn't help. I personally think the colour scheme is fine. But that, unfortunately, isn't what counts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieRose Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 You need colors that are less intense. Right now the full 0 255 0 green is way too bright next to that almost tan color. The fact you used different browns also doesn't help.Maybe try colors more like these?Also, you need to get rid of that white box around the UFO. It just makes the jerseys look sloppy.Finally the alien face on the alternate is upside down.This has potential, though. Keep working on it.

A few notes:Those given colours could work. I'll try it. And that lighter brown is only used on the Padres-esque road primary. Do you think I should do what the Padres did over the offseason and switch to the basic gray shade?The "box" is an outline of New Mexico, but I agree it probably isn't necessary. I will get rid of it on the alt, but do you think I should keep it for the sleeve patches?I will turn the alien face right side up, thanks.

AnythingChicago Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Alright, I've come up with 2 new colour scheme samples. I've just done the Sunday alt for now; I will do the other 2 unis for the winning scheme. There will be a poll where you can vote.Colour Scheme 2.0: Iguana and Darker Brown.Colour Scheme 3.0: Same Neon Green with Darker Brown.Remember, these are just prototypes.

AnythingChicago Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 Looking back at the 1st attempt, I can agree with 99% of you now that it was awful. Just flat out ugly as vicfurth, DelayedPenantly, and Luigi mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
