Afrobandito Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 So I've been making logos for a while, but I never really took the time out to try a uniform concept before. After seeing the work of the NFL/NBA mashups from before, I was inspired to do something similar. At the time, the Kings seemed like a great way to start. If this went well, I was thinking about attempting a uniform for the St. Louis Blues, or go the opposite route and make a sweater for the Lakers. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Megildur Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Those look fantastic. I hope you'll share some more! United Baseball Association | the MLB Ferris Wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrobandito Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Thanks! I've been trying to work on this new design for the St. Louis Blues since then. Admittedly, I'm not as confident in this one, specifically involving the scheme for the white kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamiller99 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Both sets look pretty solid! I'm a fan of your designs, but you should continue the leg stripping all the way down on the Blues. I think it'd look whacky the way it is right now. That's what- She Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afrobandito Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Thanks guys. Always up for ideas on where to go from here. Also tried redoing the stripes on the Blues' shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg_Fryman Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Really nice clean uniforms. The stripe all the way down on the Blues shorts does look a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragone Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 One idea for the blues is to maybe incorporate the arch into the uniform. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he was the cover boy for NHL Hitz 20-03, and that was one of my favorite Hockey games of all time along with Rock The Rink, so that did persuade me. 4 hours ago, Ragone said: One idea for the blues is to maybe incorporate the arch into the uniform. Just a thought. That'd be an interesting idea to go with. but outside of using the secondary logo on the shorts, I'm not sure where I'd put the arch. Outside of maybe implementing it as a pattern behind the back of the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrobandito Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Reviving the thread after a little bit. When I was growing up, there were three hockey uniforms that I really enjoyed: The Gretzky Retirement Tour-era Blues on the road, the dark purple Mighty Ducks, and the Dark green & gold days of the Dallas Stars. When I went into trying to make the latter's uniform, I wanted to implement ideas from both eras of the franchise from their time in Texas. I admit that I'm not immediately attached to the green on top of the traps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worcat Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 incorporating the arch in the blues could easily be done if you used the supersonics style jersey with the arch across the chest. also the blues logo on the white jersey is an entirely different shade of blue than any of the other blues used.

The arch would be doable if I go the Sonics route, but I was mainly trying to stick with the style of their current uniforms The logo on the white one itself, I was using from the Sportslogos site, but I did just now notice that it did not match the lighter blue I've been using before. Here's the small update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittSmith_95 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Most of these are bold but beautiful. However, if a team has a team name script in the same font, I'd use it as well. Having uniforms that just say the team name instead of the location is a pet peeve of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that'll work if I go with Vancouver next or the Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packerfan21396 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Thinking about the practicality of these uniforms, the star design on the Stars jersey might get muddled in the real world since the jersey gets tucked in. Granted this is a fictional situation, but it was a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrobandito Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 That's a good point, I didn't necessarily factor in having to tuck in the jersey going in to this, and that was a goof on my end. Trying stretching out the side designs to the shorts & recoloring the home waistband before taking the route of shortening them, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
