The knight rendering is odd, and the C is generic and uninspired. I'm curious to see how the blue is utilized in the uniforms. Click on the link in the initial post.

sky1324 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 That blue jersey is a thing of beauty. Not as big on the black caps for the home and road (nor the de-emphasis on gold) but overall I'm pretty happy. Logos are a downgrade from what we had but the new shade of blue is so nice I'm happy about the change overall. 3 Quote the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDixonDesign Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Adding blue is fine, IMO, but those new logos are awful. They should have just introduced the blue as a highlight color and took the opportunity to fix their oddly italic wordmark at the same time. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastfirst107 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Yeah, I'm with most of you guys. The chunky "C" is terrible (why wouldn't you use one of the two fonts already in the logo?) and there's something about the way the knight is drawn that feels off. The lettering is really generic, and the shadows underneath look like Morse code. Also, I think they're going for a home plate shape in the background, but the angle of the "point" is wrong - a real plate is close to 90 degrees, not the acute angle in the logo. As for the uniforms, the home whites would be better with black lettering outlined in blue, not the other way around - "Knights" is hard to read as is. The blues are decent-looking. The road grays are road grays, but I feel like the lettering isn't "tall enough." For a team whose name lends itself really well to a cool logo and lettering, Charlotte's never really gotten it quite right. They started off pairing a wildly over-detailed knight with the world's most boring "C" (they put the entire thing on their hats), then in '99 forgot what their name was (you're not the Charlotte Horses, guys) and introduced a blotchy equine and a dark, moody forest green and navy color scheme. Brandiose came around in '11 and showed that when they don't have the chance to distract people with goofiness, their work really just isn't very good. I actually like the colors, but Brandiose has always been just bad, bad, bad with lettering (that "S" is awful, and if you insist on including a crown in the logo, there's gotta be a better way than just slapping it on top of the "H"). The C as a "horse's tail" is silly, and if their GM has to constantly explain what it is, then it's not doing its job as a design element. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 So they're adding blue to "match" with the other teams in the city? I'm not against it, but Charlotte can't really pull off a Pittsburgh when their basketball team uses their iconic teal and purple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
