jb1322 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Hi there, I am a college student with a vision of an NBA without generic or ugly uniforms. I want each team to have an identity and a strong brand that defines them. Each team will be equipped with five uniforms. Each team will have: 1. Association-HOME.standard white jersey. Nike logo. 2. Icon-AWAY.team's primary, iconic color. Nike logo. 3. Statement-ALTERNATE. team's secondary color. Jumpman logo. Alternate jersey. 4. Community-ALTERNATE. basically an experimental jersey that fills the role of the city jersey. Nike logo. Alternate that can be worn either home or away. This uni will always feature the location name. In my vision, community jerseys are reserved for weekend games to sort of differentiate them and make them special. 5. Legacy-PLAYOFF EARNED ALTERNATE. Every team that makes playoff qualifies for these unis. Embroidered chrome nike logo. This uni will always feature the team's name. _________________________________________ COMPLETED SET Atlanta Hawks Boston Celtics Brooklyn Nets Charlotte Hornets Chicago Bulls Cleveland Cavaliers Dallas Mavericks Denver Nuggets Detroit Pistons Golden State Warriors Houston Rockets _________________________________________ OLD: Completed Sets on Old Templates [Outdated]: Phoenix Suns UPDATE: Phoenix Suns V2 UPDATE: Phoenix Suns V3 Golden State Warriors UPDATE: Golden State Warriors V2 UPDATE: Golden State Warriors V3 Toronto Raptors UPDATE: Toronto Raptors V2 UPDATE: Toronto Raptors V3 UPDATE: Toronto Raptors V3 Houston Rockets UPDATE: Houston Rockets V2 Atlanta Hawks UPDATE: Atlanta Hawks V2 New York Knicks UPDATE: New York Knicks V2 UPDATE: New York Knicks V3 UPDATE: New York Knicks V4 Oklahoma City Thunder UPDATE: Oklahoma City Thunder V2 UPDATE: Oklahoma City Thunder V2 Philadelphia 76ers UPDATE: Philadelphia 76ers V2 UPDATE: Philadelphia 76ers V2 Los Angeles Lakers UPDATE: Los Angeles Lakers V2 UPDATE: Los Angeles Lakers V3 Los Angeles Clippers UPDATE: Los Angeles Clippers V2 UPDATE: Los Angeles Clippers V3 Orlando Magic UPDATE: Orlando Magic V2 UPDATE: Orlando Magic V3 Miami Heat UPDATE: Miami Heat V2 UPDATE: Miami Heat V3 UPDATE: Miami Heat V2 New Orleans Pelicans UPDATE: New Orleans Pelicans V2 Washington Wizards UPDATE: Washington Wizards V2 UPDATE: Washington Wizards V3 Brooklyn Nets UPDATE: Brooklyn Nets V2 UPDATE: Brooklyn Nets V3 Dallas Mavericks UPDATE: Dallas Mavericks V2 UPDATE: Dallas Mavericks V3 Minnesota Timberwolves UPDATE: Minnesota Timberwolves V2 UPDATE: Minnesota Timberwolves V3 Portland Trail Blazers UPDATE: Portland Trail Blazers V2 Boston Celtics UPDATE: Boston Celtics V2 Cleveland Cavaliers UPDATE:Cleveland Cavaliers V2 Detroit Pistons UPDATE: Detroit Pistons V2 Memphis Grizzlies Charlotte Hornets Update: Charlotte Hornets V2 San Antonio Spurs UPDATE: San Antonio Spurs V2 Utah Jazz UPDATE: Utah Jazz V2 Chicago Bulls Sacramento Kings UPDATE: Sacramento Kings V2 Indiana Pacers Milwaukee Bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agus Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I'll do some general considerations. I appreciate you trying to bring some colour and 90's flair to the teams, something I can relate because I'm a big fan of that era. But I do agree with @Blindsay, there's just too much going on with the jerseys, a lot of elements feel thrown together just for the sake of it (the side patterns for the Suns Icon, they clash together), and the wordmarks in general need a lot of refinement. Speaking of wordmarks, I notice a pattern where you use a different wordmark for every jersey. Example, for the Suns you used two different wordmarks for "Phoenix", two for "Suns" and one more for "The Valley". That's five different wordmarks. How can you create an identity for a team using five different wordmarks?. My advice is to use one for every name, and try to make it as similar as possible. With the Raptors, you used both jagged pinstripes and chevrons, but made them both very noticeable. One of them should be more subtle, sublimated. As for the good things, I like both the Association for the Warriors and the "North" for Toronto, paying homage to the Huskies in an unique way. Like I said, you have very good ideas, but you might need to take a "less is more" approach to them so they can reach their potential. Choose one element from that jersey and design the jersey around it, not throwing every element into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaytavo305 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 You gotta simplify these. They all got some good elements but jeez there's a lot going on. Certain elements are really nice, I think the design of the purple jerseys could be a good base to start. Try to model the others after that, create a cohesive brand, and you got a nice start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of em are really cool, I would just try to create one unified look instead of 5 totally different jerseys that all have different word marks/logo placement/stripes, etc. That works for a city jersey, but try to base the set off one jersey design and keep em consistent. Speaking of city sets I love what you did for Toronto and Atlanta's city jerseys, they look sweet. Much improved as this set has gone on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb1322 Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 Again, thanks for the criticisms. I'm trying to better them and I hope you can see like with the Atlanta set that as more sets are released that I'm taking all of this feedback into consideration.

Tore Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 These are great but very busy. Have you considered adopting Nike's minimalistic approach in your concepts? Less is always more, or so I believe - this said great to see new NBA concepts and these are colorful and fun! Deyr fé, deyja frændr, deyr sjálfr it sama; en orðstír deyr aldregi hveim er sér góðan getr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
