ragglefragglez Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Hello, I took some time to design the Buccaneer's uniform how I'd like to see it. This includes new number fonts, new pant stripes, and a different shoulder yoke. I chose to limit the uniform to 3 colors, red, pewter, and orange, because I feel like too many colors gets obnoxious and too busy. I dislike the current number font due to them looking like an alarm clock and due to them just looking weird in general. For example, their current "7" looks horrible. So I made my own font and made an emphasis on pointed ends because I feel like that would suit the Buccaneers theme better. Now for the shoulder yoke, I admit its the part I'm the least sure about. I want some bit of pewter featured on the shoulders, but I could not think of an original idea for how to do it. So I just streamlined what the Buc's have right now and added an orange trim. Also, you'll notice that the shoulder tips each have a skull print on them. My idea for this was that the skulls would be almost invisible to the naked eye and the print would perhaps become visible once the uniform became wet/dirty/ or somehow "activated". I'm really excited to share this design, please let me know what you think! Edit: Also, I included two variations of the number fonts, I wanted to know which you all thought was better: straight edge or curved edge? I like the straight edge more, but if you want them to resemble sword blades, then I think the curved edge would be preferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjm3114jr Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I like the curved edge numbers better. One problem with your template is that you can't see the side of the helmet, other than that, the concept and presentation is well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATolly66 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 The orange outline of the numbers doesn't make the pewter "Pop". Try using a white outline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahowe6464 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Curved edge numbers are better. I like the idea of the sleeves, but I'd make the black parts orange. (Also like @ATolly66 said, change the orange outlines on the numbers to white, and do the same with the outline of the shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCM0313 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 What the two above me said about changing orange to white and black to orange. Also agree with them that the number font is better (at least more pirate-y, arrrr!) with curved numbers. Will you show us the rest of the set? I like the changes you've made. The pants stripe in particular looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragglefragglez Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 I made the changes ya'll suggested: changed the orange trims to white, and the black skull to orange. My problem is that I'm trying to stay within the Buc's 3 colors, so to me white looks out of place. Also, does the skull being orange now come across as tacky? Lastly, if the numbers appear oddly proportioned on the jersey, its because they are. I'm working in microsoft paint, but hopefully you can still get the idea of how the numbers should look. I apologize, but I didn't make an away uniform yet but I will make one quickly. I'm a fan of consistency, so the away uniform will look as close to the home uniform except replacing red with white. Thank you all for your feedback! Edit: I uploaded the away uniform. Like I said, very minimal change, just changed red to white. Where there any other variations you'd like to see? Like a pewter jersey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATolly66 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 If the Cowboys can get away with using black on their uniforms, I'm sure the Bucs can use white. Also, the numbers look much better with the white outline. If you want, you could do a double outline to incorporate orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Number font is good, but pewter on red jersey is a visibility problem. Try white and its better off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragglefragglez Posted December 24, 2016 Author Share Posted December 24, 2016 I made one with the white numbers and another with an orange trim around the white trim. I don't think the orange trim does much, can't really see it after the white trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I definitely don't like the orange skull face on the sleeves It's too Halloween-y.

That was my thinking too. Does the skull work at all though? Whats your opinion on the color of the numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 White numbers work best. The skull face is a nice idea (And works best in black), but I still prefer the ship.
