FlyingLamprey Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC (USL)Couple of questions with these kits. Which kit is home? Which is away? And does the first set have black and grey hoops? I can't find anything out on any of them, other than that the sublimated chevron one is listed on the team shop as "Switchbacks 2015 Jersey", no home or away specified. They're both good at least, not jaw-dropping or anything, but good. Drink water and try to have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I get that the red and yellow are from the city flag, but if that's the motif you're going for, then apply it to the crest, too. StLFC is trying to have it both ways, and made a mess in the process.

DaytonBlue Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Exactly, it's the red collar and yellow numbers that mess it up. The flag on the jersey would have been enough of a nod without ignoring the team's colors.

pcgd Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 St Louis FC unveiled their jersey and its... Navy blue?http://saintlouisfc.com/jerseyunveilingWas not expecting that.Why not? Their badge is mostly navy blue. You're right just their brand seemed more like their primary color would be green to me when you look at their webpage and everything. Plus mostly navy badge on a base green jersey would stand out better.The yellow and red are throwing it off more for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 And now that I can see bigger photos, is that a gradient on the jersey? Why does the color change so much at the gut?

MJWalker45 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 And now that I can see bigger photos, is that a gradient on the jersey? Why does the color change so much at the gut?It's navy to red. It's a standard Nike teamwear jersey. Not really anything special about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hey, I gotta call em as I see em. I like the sublimated checkers, I like the stars and I like the solid white stripes on the sleeves. But with those red and white stripes on the torso, and two sleeve patches, it's all just too much. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

pcgd Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hey you don't gotta like everything and and I certainly know eith your aesthetic it wasn't gonna be your cup of tea.Just like hearing why someone doesn't like something vs "what a mess." I expected more is all, so thank you for elaborating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBolt3 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I probably wouldn't have put the whole Circle City (flag?) on the shoulders, at least not in full color, maybe subliminated. It sort of clashes with the red stripes. Unless Indy gave you a list of things that HAVE to be on the jersey, which would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I wouldn't be surprised at all if they did. I've worked with enough clients to have seen it happen.pgcd, I didn't mean to impugn your abilities. But this particular experiment was not, to my way of thinking, a success.

crashcarson15 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Sorry Patrick, I just can't get behind it.There are two entirely different, clashing elements here competing for attention.A striped kit is good, especially with the checkers. It's what I wanted for the club's home shirt in the first place.The city flag on the sleeves thing is good too.But together? They just look… miserably bad to me. The body of the kit is red and blue. The sleeves are white and blue. I can't figure out what my eyes are supposed to be drawn to.Two great ideas IMO that shouldn't be used together.I'd be curious if the team dictated that the two of them go together or what?

It's definitely a different look. Like Gothamite pointed out, they're good looks by themselves. I want to see them in action though. I think shrinking the sleeve designs a bit would fiy the overall design better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
