Someone's in a hatin' mood today ...

I was with Buc in renaming the thread, but after I saw this? F*** it. Just shut the whole damn thing down. The is the "Legends in the wrong uniforms" thread...and this motherf***er posts Mark "I didn't know he was still in NBA" Madsen. This s*** didn't just jump the shark, it jumped all the sharks...San Jose Sharks, Iron Chef Shark, Jets and Sharks, the Jersey Shore Shark attacks of 1916, and even those 3 mechanical sharks from the "Jaws" flicks. what no love for the loan sharks, discovery channel's shark week and the SNL door shark played by Chevy Chase? What about Sharky the Sharkdog?

I have no idea who that is. Pat Burrell. The only thing he's legendary at is striking out and banging every cougar in the Deleware Valley. I've heard some very interesting stories from a girl I met that used to hook up with him. And here's evil Tampa Bay Pat. Maybe he should have changed gimmicks to Evil Pat while he was here. Either way, Raul The Bat > Pat The Bat.

OMFG - does that P have a black outline around it, or is that just an optical illusion caused by the texture? I don't recall there ever being an outline around that version of the P. its not an optical illusion, its a genuine black outline. How can you be certain? I really don't think it's black. I remember as a kid around that era, one of the things that made me take closer notice of sports uniforms was how the Authentic Flyers jerseys didn't have the black outline, but the replicas did. I always wanted an authentic, but they were around $80 IIRC (and didn't come in little-kid sizes), so I had to settle for a replica. I actually tried to cut the black outline off of the patch with scissors... didn't work too well.

While that jersey is clearly a cheap replica (can tell by the crest), remember that back in the '80s, some authentic jerseys were that type of mesh (the Rangers were wide mesh for quite a while.) IIRC, the Flyers had wide mesh in the early '80s (when they were made by Eagle I think) and then went to the 100% poly (like baseball jersey material) until Air Knit became en vogue.

Tavares will leave his mark on Long Island, you'll see. He's going to p*ss on it on his way out?

Not a legend by any stretch of the imagination, but then again, neither are half the players in this thread. Brad Lidge on a rehab start for the Reading Phils.

Top of the Rays ring is beautiful. The sides, not so much.

lol and oh to get a template i should just google search "jersey template"? Try this thread. http://boards.sportslogos.net/index.php?showtopic=63599 It has bunches of them. i have one last question: is it illegal to use microsoft Clip Art to find a picture of an animal/mascot, and then use it as a base log on which you edit and add things around it? and what about this web site, is it illegal to copy and paste from it? is this ok? alright never mind. i read the copyright info. i can use them however i want and can post up to 3 to a website. if i want to post more i have to get permission... Wouldn't recommend it - it's always better to come up with your own original work. If you do decide to edit someone else's work, make sure to give credit to the original designer and state in your concept thread where you got the original from. This cannot be stressed enough - if you didn't design it, cite where you got it from (unless it's blatantly obvious, like an NFL logo.)

No problem. BBTV is always looking for an opportunity to show a n00b the way.

Plenty of users have made some good-looking logos / uniforms on Paint. You just have to be very patient and take your time, because like you said, there aren't a lot of features. Tip: you can cheat a little bit by using the shape tools in MS Office products to make basic shapes, and then transfer them over to Paint (using print screen or something.) If you get good fonts, you can use Word Art to make basic wordmarks and transfer them over too. Templates are more for uniforms than logos. They'll have the basic shape, along with the seams, so you can see where to put your piping, or striping, or other type of trim. Not necessary for logos, but highly recommended for jerseys.

The Phillies now just hang flags that state the year something was won (*points to sig*). They are color coded to represent the highest championship won that year. So for example for 1980, there is just one red banner that reads 1980, despite the fact that they also won the NL East and NL Pennant that season. I don't like this, because now that it is possible to win your league and WS without winning your division, you can't just assume all of the lower-level championships. I think that they should do like NBA and NHL teams and (despite the redundancy) hang one flag per championship, regardless of season. Hey - it's the Phillies - it's not like we're talking about that many flags!

Don't the Rockies have a division championship banner or two? Where are those?

Agreed. The tri-banner thing was great, but I can see how it would cause a problem considering now it is possible to win the cup without winning your division, so it would look really weird if they won the cup but only earned two banners.

It depends on what this "standardization" is. If it is just making them all the "new" gold, then maybe they'll keep it. Unfortunately, my guess is that since the two banners from last season can't be displayed in the same multi-banner format, that they're "standardizing" by making them all individual. It's a shame, because the tri-banner thing looked pretty darn cool.

As a packer fan, seeing Brett in a Jets uni will be hard enough, I agree, thak God it isnt one of those lime green and white disasters they used to where. Now I think they have one of the better unis in the league, so that might help ease the pain a little When exactly did the Jets where[sic] "lime green and white"?

That's actually really well done.

*nm*

I think they will look something like this, which is basically just like their old ones, only with different colors and conference/division names: Maybe the real conference champions one will be hung slightly higher than the others in the non-cup group. But since theres no divisional playoffs, there's no need for a Regular Season designation. You don't think they'd just split Champions across two banners? Also, I never thought about the color differences between the banners. These will look pretty odd next to the ones with the bright gold.

I'm really curious to see what the Penguins do for their banners from this year, since as far as I know this is the first time they've won more than one without winning all three, and they've done that cool triple-banner "cha mpi ons" thing in the past.

Wouldn't the Reds have that honor? Or at least any of the class of 1883 (unless the Braves were in that, and I just didn't do my research.)
