I like the idea of using the "OKC" for the road primary, but I'd like to keep the "Dusters" wordmark. I would like to get more feedback before making any changes.

Victormrey Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 So, the next team is Montreal. After thinking about it, I'll be bringing back the Expos. Not only because the language issues, but also because they had one of the best baseball logos of all time. I'll be using a colour scheme inspired by the Asheville Tourists: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing- they're not bad. I can't quite put my finger on it, it's just personal preference I guess. Maybe more of a 'dynamic' feel, like being blown away. Sort of like how the Lakers script on their logo looks like it's moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe work a line into there somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coco1997 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Those colors look great on the old Expos logo! Any specific reason you took inspiration from the Tourists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victormrey Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 These are the wordmarks I'll be using: The home uniform will have blue pinstripes, and the cream and the light teal uniforms will be fauxbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coco1997 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Before we see the Expos, can we see the Duster road set with the "OKC" wordmark on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victormrey Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Let's continue with the Expos! As I've already explained, I've used Cream/Navy/Blue/Teal as colour scheme. Keeping the original Expos logos/wordmarks and making a bit of combination of eras: I decided to give the main set (home, road and the alts) the last style used by the Expos. In this way I could add a pinstriped team, as @coco1997 suggested. Also, I decided to make a fauxback set, inspired by the designs used by the team during the 80's: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Great job with the Expos. This is a fantastic color scheme and for some reason it works really well for Montreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Lucas Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Excellent work with Montréal. So glad you kept their name. I'm also glad you gave them the fauxback..I think the cream works better than the Statue of Liberty one. Great work, brother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGiants58 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I'm sorry, but that color scheme looks terrible on the Expos. The mint bleeds way too much into the white, and the royal looks really out of place. Royal/red with a bit of metallic gold would look so much better. If you're going to alter the identity that much, just change the name to "Draveurs." It'd be more original, and less "I'm just going to recolor a bunch of pre-existing logos," which is kind of lazy. I really liked a lot of what you did up to this point in the series, but recoloring a bunch of minor league logos for your expansion teams demonstrates some of the significant gaps between major- and minor-league identity construction. Nashville has probably been the best one of your expansion teams, and that's largely because you adopted a strong color scheme and one of the more refined minor league identities (although you could use a more fitting number font). Las Vegas feels a little too plain (even though the color scheme has potential), and the same can be said for Oklahoma City (you could really do a lot more with that color scheme - maybe go a little further into sepia tones?). I really liked a lot of what you had done up to this point in the series, but you've kind of lost me with you expansion teams.

I think there needs to be a white/cream outline on the teal/seafoam green alt's back numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
