I'm currently making training materials for Footwear engineers, but I'm hoping that I'll be able to get into Global Football making kits for real! I had to login again so that I could congratulate you on this. It seems like a great (and well-deserved) thing for you.

Actually looking back into it again, it was supposed to happen for the MLS Next Pro launch. Fingers crossed it's still gonna happen, but there's been no word for a while. As for Yaquina Bay, it's a gorgeous crest and a gorgeous home kit! One of your nicest. Not wild about the away. It's a good idea but I think it'd work better if the contours were more pinstripe-y than color block-y? IDK. Glad you liked Yaquina Bay! That crest definitely look a while to make because of all the intertwined elements Speaking of which, I changed the clash kit to have a more striped contour instead of a color block one: Spoiler On 1/28/2023 at 4:28 AM, Megildur said: I had to login again so that I could congratulate you on this.

MDTrey4 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I'll echo the necktie resemblance as well. I think one way to fix it would be to decrease the angle that the stripes show and make it 14 stripes to represent the 14 different events from the tower. That might make it look less like a necktie and more like the tower itself. Another very minor critique that I have is that the stripes that go through the banner don't come out on the other side in the same spots 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logo-maker Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Based on the heron migration graphic you developed for the AC Chehalem Valley home shirt, this might be a great opportunity to center the crest on the shirt, lower the graphic of the other herons a bit (as well as the front ad placement) so it looks like the heron in the crest is "leading" the others on the shirt. Great design work connecting each team to their location. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
