    The Magpie on the crest looks far more like a European magpie than it does an Australian one, which is a pretty big problem as they are very different birds. It would be perfect if the crest depicted an Australian Magpie.

    The A is better proportioned than the logo the team currently use. That said, it really needs the Tuscan Spurs and the Halo would look better in Gold. The Angels used a Tuscan font when they first started off in the MLB in 1961 up intill 1970, and introduced a Tuscan font in 1993, which was a year before the Rangers used a Tuscan font for the first time. The Angels have a claim to use Tuscan that is just as strong as the Rangers, probably even more so. I don't think the script is an improvement on what the Angels currently use, which is pretty solid and only really needs the drop shadow removed, and the white outline on the road. The outline on the script could do with more space between the letters and without the drop shadow effect, and with Tuscan Spurs. Overall, the set could be improved with a Tuscan font, no drop shadow effect and gold halos.

    You couldn't. The Dutch flag is red, white and blue, the flag you've described is the Prince's Flag, which formed the basis for the Apartheid era South African flag and is strongly associated with, and used by the Far Right in the Netherlands.

    The street map is pretty easy to make out, so it's not subtle. It's a really good design anyway.

    The orange on the Roma change looks really burned, almost brown, and looks plain ugly, especially on its own and not bordered with the deep red and the yellow. What colour is the base supposed to be? It looks cream in the first picture, white in the others. Both of the 1995-96 Toon jerseys didn't have watermarks and were all the better for it.

    MN United should have been an option too.

    Newcastle - Fine recreation of the classic 95-96 kit, I would get shot of the watermark crest on the front and just have the magpie on it's own on the back under the collar, as the 1980s crest was never intended to be rendered in that size and the magpie looks indistinct and the mag on it's own would look a lot better. Slovenija - This is great. Only thing I would do is get rid of the watermark on the shirt as it distracts from the effect on the Triglav.

    What was the point of removing stripes? Either leave well enough alone or make the thickness of the stripes match those on the jersey and stockings.

    On one hand, the EB110 did have quad turbos, four wheel drive and in the SuperSport configuration as in that picture, it put out more power than almost anything, and to be fair, the styling was quite distinctive. On the other, that styling was challenging to say the least, and it was launched at the same time as a global recession and as the McLaren F1. Anyway, they aren't actually changing the logo that goes on the horseshoe grille, which is probably the most important thing and on which it looks great. The article in the OP is from 2022, and they haven't changed the badge on the new Mistral, so it looks like they aren't changing the logo for where it matters the most.

    I'd like to see the Rangers add hem striping to the navy Lady Liberty jersey and see if that works. Never been a fan of jerseys that don't have hem striping and/or a chestband, always felt like the bottom of the jersey felt "empty".

    Thanks! I wanted to have La Franja on the crest somewhere, as it's the defining feature of the uniforms of the team and also it's nickname, and I feel it would lose something without it, and moving the foundation dates to the sides would put it a bit too close to "City Group" roundel territory for me. I wanted to see if I could make one that fitted the owl, which wasn't easy considering the shape of it and incorporate a Factory Pomo style, which is why I used that font, which is FP AF. I agree though that the 70's crest works best just on it's own and thats the way I would have it on a jersey. Crest redesign for Grenoble Foot 38, this combines the three roses from the city logo of Grenoble with a representation of its cable cars, in which the initials of the team (in Belgrad) is placed. The shape of the crest was dictated by needing to accomodate the cable cars and the three roses, and gold is added to the blue and white of the current colour scheme, as gold and blue are the colours of the province of Dauphiné, which Grenoble was the capital of. C&C would be cool.

    The Toughsheet Community Stadium isn't in the town of Bolton, rather the Metropolitan borough - it's on the outskirts of a town called Horwich and is 5 miles from the actual town of Bolton itself. Many people consider what is Greater Manchester to still be either Lancashire or Cheshire depending on what county it was previously part of, and nobody considers Bolton to be a suburb of Manchester - it is its own town, like most of the towns in what is called Greater Manchester. The Toughsheet is far from being a well located Stadium, the City of Manchester Stadium or Old Trafford (as run down as that place is) would be better bets. So I would change the name to Manchester Inferno and have the team play at the City of Manchester Stadium, which is a bigger venue and much easier to get to than the stadium in Horwich. I'd also just use the name Manchester Inferno, as it's almost certainly what everyone would call the team anyway. You could even keep the GM in the logo (which looks great) and have it stand for "Gridiron Manchester".

    Penrith is great. The Panther looks a lot better in a different art style and off the roids.

    I would just choose one shoulder patch for both road and home, rather than splitting the difference.

    They didn't back track all the way with Montreal though - the Fleur de-lys was brought back, but the front office/MLS decided that the Impact name wasn't coming back. I would also argue both teams logos are downgrades from what they had before the ill-advised rebrands - Montreal no longer have their motto and lost the Impact with the new somewhat bland roundel, and while the new logo for the Fire is good, it's not as good as the original, which was probably the closest any of the original MLS teams founded in the 1990s got to a timeless look. My guess is that they get rid of all the effects on the grey/white/chrome parts of the logo for a flat look and thats it.

    I was talking about the logo, and as that is part of the brand, which with this rebrand, fits in with the wider trend of the minimalism at present, and its a trend that Ettore Bugatti would, judging by his creations and his family history (his father was a jeweller and a key figure in the Art Nouveau movement), would have wanted no part of. And to my eyes, the new branding does feel more bland, and fits in with the trend towards minimalism. It feels colder, more sterile and a VW group product rather than carrying on the legacy of the orginal company, with the logo not even looking like a logo, rather just the name of the company in a font that is almost identical to the ones used on German trains.

    There is being restrained and then there is blanding something the f*** out. The new Bugatti logo is a textbook example of the latter. All they had to do was drop the gradients and get shot of the drop shadow. Instead, they got rid of almost everything except the font.
  19. VampyrRabbit
    Problem with this update is that it not only gets rid of everything except the font and the EB monogram, it's also part of a trend that would have, quite simply, been anethema to Ettore Bugatti. The last word when you think of Bugatti, of the cars it has made, is minimalism.

    The Huddersfield raised fist G looks great. I like the idea of the Parramatta logo, but the eel doesn't look like a eel, with the head shape and the wavy fin that starts a lot further forward than most eels, and it doesn't have the googly eyes of most eels either. I would much perfer if it looked like an eel. The Parramatta type looks good, but for the EELS, a non tilted font might work better, that part looks a bit awkward with more space between the inner shield edge and the E than there is for the S.

    The MLS Exclusive template was only used for new kit rollouts for the 2020 season with the exception of Austin, who used that template for their 2021 change, which was replaced the following year. A new template was released for 2021, and a new one the following year, which St Louis used for their change kit for this season. This year, the teams used a new template that was first introduced during the 2022 World Cup. It's likely that a new template will be introduced.

    So there is a chance Seattle could be wearing pea soup coloured shirts for two years after finally changing the shade of green.
  23. VampyrRabbit
    They have a brain fart and go back to the old shades? Here are the new shades of green and blue side by side with the old ones. The new ones are brighter and for my money at least, a lot nicer.
  24. VampyrRabbit
    That SDT kit is too nice. Love the sunset above the mission, the tiles in different shades of blue and the lighter blue of the shorts, collar and cuffs. Top job. Los Galaticos had their chance to own teal and gold/orange, but looks like white, gold and the two shades of blue are their main colours now. And even back when Galaxy were rocking the teal, black had a big part in their scheme between 1996 and 2004. Besides, the wave part of the logo of the City of San Diego is teal and orange, so as far as I'm concerned, San Diego have every right to use those colours, and I think they probably should.

    Ettore Bugatti once said "Nothing is too Beautiful, nothing is too expensive". His designs were intricate, forward thinking and when it came to luxury, the dude didn't take half measures. I doubt he would have approved of the blanding out of the logo in the slightest.
