Viperion101 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 The Kansas City Stealth would be an NBA expansion franchise, with its home arena at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri. The name comes from the B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, based at nearby Whiteman Air Force Base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittier S Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 It seems like there's a way you could work in a subtle silhouette of the bomber into the monogram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowski Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I love the color scheme and the military inspired sharpness to your design, but I feel as though if KC got a NBA team it should be more closely associated with the area's heritage and or what the city is known best for; i.e. BBQ, trains, storms, and a vague royalty stuff (lol). I imagine their identity as like the Kansas City Smoke or the Kansas City Zephyrs. I'm fan of all of KC's teams, well I don't really care about the Chiefs, and the city really identifies with their teams; so you'd need to create something they'd really gel with, just look at the difference between how KC perceived the Wiz before they re-branded into Sporting KC.

From 0-26 to S.B. Champs Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Too similar to the KC Stealth AFL team from the 2000's.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a basically a rip-off, from name to colors to imagery (stealth bomber over a ball). It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC's arena football team was the Brigade and the Command, but never the Stealth. There was a franchise named the Stealth in the National Lacrosse League, which bounced between San Jose, Washington state and Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree. The angles of the K might be conducive to that. Right now, the KC monogram is incongruous with the rest of the package because it's angular in way the rest of the text and elements are not. But if you worked the bomber silhouette into it, it could make more sense as part of the bigger package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PERRIN Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Looks pretty good! But like others have stated it's extremely similar to the Kansas City Command/Brigade logo. Perrin Grubb | Aspiring Designer | NAFA Project ~ NFL Redesigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperion101 Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 I would agree with y'all that the logo is similar to the KC Command/Brigade logo, it is inspired by the logos of those two teams. However, both of those teams have folded, and each time they were around, it was only for a few seasons. I thought that the general idea of having a stealth bomber as the logo was a good idea, so I decided to go with it, however, I tried to make it unique enough. As far as the monogram logo goes, it is common for Kansas City sports teams to have a monogram logo that just says "KC" and has the letters connected somehow, so that is why I didn't put any graphics as a background. Also the monogram logo was inspired somewhat by the Kansas City Monarchs' monogram logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_DietDrPepper_ Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 It seems like a complete rip off of the plane logo, from colors to lines. The only difference is the position.

officeglenn Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I disagree that it's a "ripoff". It's a local reference to the nearby air force base, and since it's a very specific model of plane, there are only so many ways to draw it; it's going to be recognizable (and should be recognizable) as a stealth bomber in every one of those ways. The black is almost mandatory because it's the colour of the plane, and the sky blue makes sense because ... well, planes fly in the sky. Any other colour scheme and everyone would be crying foul as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleclock Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Whatever it is, it’s still about 20x better than the new Houston Rockets logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperion101 Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 Home jersey with the Nike logo. Would be black on white and blue uniforms, white on the black and gray ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperion101 Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Kansas City Stealth Air Force Insignia logo. Designed to look like the insignia of the US Air Force, with some modifications. Would mostly be used on T-Shirts and other merchandise, not on uniforms or court logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan O'Mac Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I feel the name "Kansas City Stealth" is very 90's, and if they were an expansion team now, the name would be tied to the area differently. I like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
