It's late, so I'll just leave this here before I hit the sack:

This is one of the best uniforms in the NFL. Monochrome or not, awesome is awesome.

Not my favorite, but still good for what it is. I'm still not sure but I think the first year they did it

that it was more green blue ..?

its good in its own right because the practically invented a color. but I would have used the old blue in the pin stripe and not lime/dayglo. I really dont see the point of the lime green jersey? its a bad reminder of the 1980s haha

The Seahawks' current unis are a perfect case of: "I know they aren't perfect and there has got to be a better way to do them but I just can't figure out what would be better"

I've tried over and over again to play designer and fix them but to no avail. In the end I come to the conclusion that they are as a good as they are going to get and in the end they really aren't that bad.

There aren't any NFL uniforms that I love. They are all mediocre or horrible in my opinion.

they should all just play naked then.

Is that a spread of netting covering the top of the ballpark?

I think it is.

Y'know, the more I look at the images the more I'm hating the whole 'netting' thing. I see the direct connection to sailing and boats...but in the end it looks way too overdone and annoying. The shadows that it will create will also look pretty annoying too. Not to mention that they beautiful views of the skyline will be obstructed.

I really hope they rethink it a bit and try to incoporate that feature in a much less obstructive way.

It's supposed to be entirely transparent so as to protect from rain, but still look like it's uncovered. The wires would be about the only obstructive part, and I don't really know how obstructive they'd actually be. The skyline view wouldn't really change.

Well maybe its the artist's rendering, but the netting looks very much like it would obstruct the views of the skyline. Again, even if it is more invisible, I think its overdone. A good idea, that doesn't work very well the way they executed it in the images.

Isnt Tropicana Field relatively new? And they talk about renovating it....for what? Who is going to use it if the Rays move into a new ballpark?

Nope.

Its almost 20 years old. It was pretty much outdated when it opened. Horribly designed IMO. They could renovate it, but I bet the cost would be so high that they'd be half way to a new stadium. I'd start from scratch if I were them.

Actually, I'd move the team if I were them...but then again, I'm NOT them.

Eh.

I give them credit for attempting to create a more modern look similar to the Marlin's proposed stadium. In the end, they probably won't build it as shown...not sure if thats a bad thing to be quite honest.

Hopefully they'll stick to this style of park and not try to build a retro park because the team doesn't have the history to match such a look IMO. Modern is the way to go. It would seem kind of weird for a team that came into MLB in the late 90's to play in a park reminiscent of historic old parks.

Maybe its just me, but I'm getting a little sick of 'retro' parks. Kudos to Washington for building the modern park they're building right now. It looks great, and doesn't copy anything else thats been built in the last decade or so.

This may be a dumb question, but I'm new to the board.

I've been using Photoshop for jersey/logo designs(very time consuming!). I would love to use illustrator because it seems as if thats what everyone uses and its easier. How do I get a hold of a solid version of Adobe Illus. without shelling out the $$$$$?

I'm getting my Masters right now so $$$$ is TIGHT! Any ideas? Thanks! I love this site by the way, all of you are extremely talented. I'll be displaying some of my stuff soon enough.

Take care

You can download it from this site for the low price of $80: http://www.oem-softwares.com/?a=order&sid=...orcs=1&x=42&y=1

Thanks alot! though I was hoping for something CHEAPER.

I'll save the link and if nothing else comes up I'll probably do it. $80 IS much better than $400!
