jdp Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Seattle and Denver look great. Those are some wonderful interpretations and inclusion of past teams, as well as city elements. But there are a couple things about the colors that throw me off. Seattle - The shorts. With that much yellow on the clash, having teal shorts is too much. At least to my eyes. I think navy shorts would work better here. Actually, I might even just swap the home and clash shorts, and it would look pretty solid. Denver - Against the darker purple, the lighter purple comes off as pink. Also, damn that Reds concept is good. And I definitely do not support the actual Reds. "Type something, will ya?

coco1997 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Denver looks great. I really like the two-tone purple on the home jersey. I disagree with the previous poster who said the lighter purple looks pink. It looks magenta to my eyes. This has been a really fun series to follow!

To be honest, the Denver concept is lovely, but I also have the same output on the light purple, it really does look pink, I think a more lavender color or even maybe experiment with black.

It is certainly fairly enjoyable (and very interesting) combining sports logo history and civic imagery alike into these concepts, and I'm certainly glad you're liking them! (Even your hated Reds. :P) As far as your suggestions are concerned, I'll address 'em later this post... 6 hours ago, coco1997 said: Denver looks great.

Great job on Denver, I'm a big fan of the two toned Purple. It does indeed, though it'll certainly take some getting used to. Glad you liked Denver, my friend! ------------------------------------------------------- At the masses' request, namely jdp, I decided to make a few tweaks to Seattle and Denver. For Seattle, I simply decided to eliminate the teal shorts on the clash and replaced that with shorts similar to the home, but with teal replacing the yellow. For Denver, I simply concocted a new shade of purple from the erased remnants of the "Orchid" and colored it over lightly with a regular purple colored pencil. Their respective posts have been updated above, and I'm really appreciating all your feedback! ~ Daryl BEHANCE | PORTFOLIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedfieldNick Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 That is way better for Denver, and I personally liked the first version of Seattle, but seeing those shorts made me realize the second version looked way better.

However, since the accurate nickname for the A's was the white elephant, I recolored the current elephant to one that resembles the white elephant logo from 1988. There is a minuscule "ACO" monogram on the banner on the elephant, stylized like the A's cap logo. I decided to display all 9 of their championship stars, surrounding it at the bottom of the soccer ball (Mark Willis took a very similar approach in his take on a soccerized A's). The home kit is a combination of the A's 1971 yellow jersey and its 1972 version; the combination of eras here is most evident in the striping. The clash jersey is similar to the home, with hints taken from the new green alternate jersey the A's released not too many years ago. The kits are supplied by New Balance, and the sponsor is Cisco (the Silicon Valley software company that has sponsored many (failed) A's stadium proposals). Up next, the Giants' biggest rivals to the south... ~ Daryl PS: The links I put so much of on my posts are so much easier to put with this new forum update BEHANCE | PORTFOLIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you liked Oakland! -------------------------------------------------------------- I'll try to make this post as unbiased as possible. National League WESTLos Angeles SC Los Angeles, California Founded: 1883 Championships: 6 (1955, 1959, 1963, 1965, 1981, 1988) Los Angeles Dodgers Logos The crest I used for my soccerized Dodgers is taken from their logo for their 50th anniversary since moving to LA, with necessary modifications. I split apart the cap logo so that "LA" lines both sides of the flying soccer ball, adapted from the flying baseball in their logo set. In the background is the unique, check pattern the Dodgers donned in Brooklyn (more on that in the paragraph below). The Dodgers have a very classy uniform set, but it's really hard to translate into soccer kits; instead, I sacrificed the Dodgers' conservative looks to ones that are a bit more out there. The home kit incorporates the check pattern of the Brooklyn Dodgers' 1916 uniforms, with the three middle stripes colored red to match Adidas branding the streaks behind the ball in the logo. The clash kit is a more conservative jersey, with three red stripes taking center stage on a blue jersey; it could be taken to represent the many freeways the stretch through and around the LA Basin. The kits are supplied by Adidas, and the sponsor is Cathay Pacific (because 1) the Dodgers are one of those large teams that international airlines would sponsor, and 2) it caters to California's large Asian population). Now that that post is done, Go Giants! Up next, the Yankees! ~ Daryl BEHANCE | PORTFOLIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alrighty, thanks for the suggestions! I decided that I'll use a navy blue kit, though not as plain as Uglybus would suggest. --------------------------------------------------------------- American League EAST Premier New York City New York, New York Founded: 1901 Championships: 27 (1923, 1927, 1928, 1932, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1941, 1943, 1947, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1956, 1958, 1961, 1962, 1977, 1978, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2009) *whew* New York Yankees Logos Because this team is the most successful of the teams, it has earned the prestige of having "Premier" in its team name. After some consideration and some searching, I stumbled upon this NYCFC concept by Milo Kowalski. Because the monogram on that concept is very similar to the famous Yankees cap logo, I just had to use it. Plus, it looks very clean-cut and classy! I decided to remove any trace of red to make this team a solely navy blue/white team. The home kit is very simply the classic Yankees pinstripes on a soccer jersey. The clash kit takes the pinstripes and turns it into vertical hoops, with two-tone navy blue and white trim; there are five stripes to represent the five boroughs of New York City. The kits are supplied by Umbro, and the sponsor is Etihad Airways (because the Yankees have part-ownership of the real-life New York City FC, whose jersey sponsor is Etihad). Up next, we depart the classic looks of the Bronx to the wilds of south Florida! ~ Daryl BEHANCE | PORTFOLIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions would be cool, too! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm still alive, guys! After a really busy and (partly) sick week or two or so, I finally got around to completing Miami! National League EASTAtlético Miami Miami, Florida Founded: 1993 Championships: 2 (1997, 2003) Miami Marlins Logos Very simply, the crest for Miami takes elements from their current cap logo and puts it into a Spanish-style, triangular crest. Hints of Miami's famous Art Deco are everywhere in the crest, from the bright color palette to the jagged angles. A crown is created from the stylized marlin in the cap logo. The only nod to the Florida Marlins I could muster in is in darkening the shade of light blue to match their old teal. The home kit is simply an orange kit with an Art Deco "M" striping pattern. The clash kit is a teal jersey with a smaller "M" Art Deco pattern. For the number font, I decided to not use the current number font to instead use a font that better matches the sleek curves and angles of the crest. The kits are supplied by Puma, and the sponsor is Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. Up next, Minnesota! ~ Daryl BEHANCE | PORTFOLIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
