BrandMooreArt Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 i think this is really solid. the biggest problem is the type. i think both Raptors and Toronto should be taller. more importantly, there are so many strokes around the type it comes close to unreadable. the white jersey is the worst, but you have all these strokes crashing into each other and filling in negative space and you're losing the form of the letters. i would remove at least 1 stroke color and open up the kerning just a bit  GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE  /  MEDIUM /  DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RGB of a screenshot of it has 77 Red to 165 Blue, which I would consider to be Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk-owns-iu Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 As always, you do an excellent job on these. This is a solid modernization of a throwback. Only things I see is I would outline the letters in gold. I don't have a problem with gold surrounding black on their unis as discussed, I just wouldn't abandon purple and red as primary colors for it.The red throwback looks good but I'm getting too many Detroit Piston vibes off of it. I would add a little more purple and/or black.Like the home uni. I get a Toronto Husky feel from it.Excellent job all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadojoker Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Love it!!! Points for the pinstripes, red alternate and designs at the bottom of the shorts! Modern look with a retro feel. Great job LightsOut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchman Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I don't mind it, but it feels like it's missing something. Perhaps the pinstripes could be jagged like the inagural set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 I was going to make the pinstripes contrasting colors, but it only hurt the legibility of the design. Considering that the wordmarks and numbers are purposefully outline-heavy in order to work in all their colors, there would have been too many competing elements.Plus the sublimated pinstripes are simply more modern and clean, which fits in with my goal of cleaning up and modernizing their inaugural uniforms.

At least, I'd try that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadojoker Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 The subtle pinstripes makes the jersey work! Even with the pinstripes I'd love it but the stripes "silhouetted" makes them a bit more traditional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
