The_Admiral Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 What in tarnation is that base color? Is that mauve? You can't dress a team in mauve. The design is fine enough, subdued for you, but it needs classic Jazz purple, not this washed-out look. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingLamprey Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Well I can't say I expected seeing that color on a uniform. It's a good design for sure and I enjoy the color scheme a lot (the blues particularly are great). I'm assuming you're basing the brown off of what the Jazz used in late 90s, so that gives it a bit of history I guess. However, I'd look into maybe something a little more on the brown side. Brown's a color that isn't used by any teams in the NBA currently, so it's not like you're limited on options there. I'm thinking something like a chestnut could work. Beyond that, nice work! Drink water and try to have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I'm not certain, but I think the base is copper. I'd never think that these colors would work so well together, but I think this looks great.The home and alt wordmarks get a little muddy....I think losing one of the outlines might help there.

With the Kings, Lakers, Suns, and Hornets, there's already somewhat of a purple overload in the NBA. In my ideal NBA, the Raptors would also be wearing purple, so that's five purple teams, which is more than enough. Pro sports needs more unique color schemes anyway.I was going for a "ski lodge" feel with the colors. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil G Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Yeah, this looks great. It's certainly better than the mess of an identity that they have now.

I was going for a "ski lodge" feel with the colors. Okay, I respect your rationale, but some colors are trim colors and not base colors, and this is one of them, I think. While I do like the wordmarks, I'm not crazy about the numbers. I hate them on the Texas Rangers. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadojoker Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Love it. Kinda reminds me of the Colorado Avalanche! Make the copper red a little more vibrant and voila! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YelichGraphics Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 not the biggest fan of the copper as well but it does look very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 This is awesome. I think a second white jersey would look good with the tealish color being the base of the numbers and wordmark too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbannon92 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I'm actually a big fan of this color scheme. The copper and double blues work really well together. Though I think the copper could be a little brighter and have a little more gold in it--think ASU's alternate's they wore against ND. The wordmarks are really nice as well. I like the perspective of them. And of course, the mountains on the shorts are excellent.

Whittier S Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 The colour scheme is too desaturated. Give it some contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLEstones Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I like the color scheme a lot. However, the 2 tones of off-light blue seem distracting. It looks like things are out of focus. I feel like the scheme may need a dark color to tie everything together. Both shades of blue, as well as the tan/brown, seem on the lighter side. Making one of the blues or the tan a dark color may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmiller5 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 This is very interesting. I like the idea of the color scheme and love that you gave them a unique look. But I also think that if you are going for copper you could darken it up; that is, make it look less pink. Maybe something more along this color: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustDevil61 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I like that you thought outside the box like you often do, Lights Out. I'd love for the Jazz to wear some form of copper again, and in retrospect, a Purple/Black/Copper color scheme would not have been too bad, but variations of their color schemes have potential:- Purple/Light Blue/Copper- Purple/Green/Yellow- Royal or Navy/Kelly Green/YellowYour template isn't bad, but I wouldn't mind something of a merger between your mountain shorts and the current template--mountains nowhere but on the pants. I'd also go with an updated "Jazz" wordmark/logo, something more western; SFGiants58 has the best example of what I'm talking about, though I'm not entirely sold on the Purple/Green/Light Blue scheme.Not trying to hijack the thread, but I've come up with a potential scheme to unite the classic P/G/Y and P/LB schemes. Technically the Jazz consider gray as a team color, though it's strictly for wordmark outlines/advertising/merchandise/etc. So with that in mind, I'd switch out this gray with light blue and navy with a darker purple, and--voila!--perhaps the most serviceable Jazz color scheme:Pretty much stays the classic scheme on the home, road, and 3rd, and in my scenario, a 4th purple/light blue rounds out the scheme. I'm probably going to whip up a concept of my own soon. http://i.imgur.com/Pyc5qRH.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/RDXvxFE.gif LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 One note on the color scheme: the copper looks darker and more contrasting on my phone. The "desaturation" could be a result of how your browser is rendering the images. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
