ColeJ Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 yeah..... my concept was influenced by the blackburn rovers of the EPL... however, i wouldn't have even considered using shirt halves like blackburn, if i didn't think it made sense for the concept.the entire reasoning behind the Burn/FC switch, is to add a little bit more credibility to the team, and give it a more traditional soccer feel... well, soccer is the only sport i've ever seen that uses shirt halves for uniforms (wouldn't a hockey team or a football team look retarded?)anyway, the reasoning for shirt halves on this concept should be obvious. my entire FC Dallas uniform concept is designed to represent the texas flag...i don't think FC Dallas has finalized their real kits yet, but if they ended up wearing red/white halves, with blue shorts.... i'd definately be happy about it anyway, comments? the front logo (not the crest, but the wordmark), isn't finalized... it's just something to hold space until FCD releases the secondary logo and wordmark. i used reebok as the kit-make, because i have no idea who's going to make the real kits, and i used radioshack as the sponsor, because i believe i've seen radioshack on their kits before.

decypher Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Ha, that's really clever, Cole. The execution is fantastic, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primal Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I'd centre the club crest. And put the numbers in a circle.Oh wait, no I wouldn't. No one sensible would! STUPID NIKE! I like it, Cole...although I think the '96' is unnecessary (same goes for the 96 on the crest, but ah well...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 they are trying to create a tradition with the 96 it seems like. And its forced. things like that need to evolve. Just my opinion. It'd be like a beer, adding 57 to their labels. Forcing something to be like Rolling Rock. Ok...maybe not, I just wanted to declare my love for the Rocks.peace,pc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 the rumor around dallas is that the front of the kit will just say DALLAS in a stylized wordmark...i really like that idea.my favorite thing about the FC Dallas change is that I don't have to pretend to rally around a name that I don't like, like Burn... i can just rally around my home town. it's a lot easier to say that i love dallas than it is to say that i love the dallas burn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Outstanding concept. You're right - the halves make perfect sense!I hope that this starts a trend among other MLS clubs.

Moser316 Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I love the idea of half/half panels for the shirt and blue pants -- it really does make the team look like they're wearing the Texas state flag! Don't change a thing on these, but before you send them to the team, make sure you have some good legal representation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflava Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Cole, these are freaking awesome! I can only hope that the team does something similar to this. I love everything about this concept. It's also good to hear that the real jerseys will have Dallas on the front. I just like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 It'd be like a beer, adding 57 to their labels. Forcing something to be like Rolling Rock. Or Heinz Ketchup. Too bad the club was not established 27 years earlier. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
