TheGiantsFan Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 I've taken a bit of a CCSLC hiatus since the end of my Oregon League series, but I'm back with this new mini-series! "Designing a new jersey after ever win" series have proliferated on social media ever since Pete Rogers began his viral Boston Celtics series in 2022. These series have spread across basketball fanbases and have now jumped onto baseball and soccer. I decided to make a series for my hometown (even though I'm in Oregon now) Monterey Bay FC of the USL Championship! I spent a huge chunk of my childhood in California's Monterey County, so it was very nice to finally have a hometown professional team to root for when this team began in 2021. I'm making a new MBFC kit for every win and draw throughout the 2024 season, with each kit highlighting a different community & event throughout the 831 area code in California (consisting of the Monterey Peninsula, the Salinas Valley, and Santa Cruz). As with my previous projects, I conducted extensive research into each community to make sure that their kit represented what the location is best known for. I'm utilizing design suggestions from Monterey Bay FC supporters as well as my local knowledge of the area I called home for sixteen years. These kits are designed in Adobe Illustrator and are rendered on CLO 3D using 3D kit templates from Designs by Corinth. You can follow this series outside of the forums, through the mbfc_kits Instagram account! --- The season began in the middle of March, and I've already made four kits in this series! I'll post them on the forums over the next few days, and then each new kit will be posted around the time they're posted on social media. --- March 13, 2024 El Paso, TX Monterey Bay FC 1 | El Paso Locomotive FC 1 RECORD: 0-0-1 The city of Monterey has such a cool flag that I wish more people were aware of! 7 1 Quote BEHANCE | PORTFOLIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtgco Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Love the combination of the logo motif with the city flag! Exciting series idea; curious if we'll see a Jazz Festival design and what that could look like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exciting series idea; curious if we'll see a Jazz Festival design and what that could look like Thanks so much! I'll definitely be using that striping pattern on a few more concepts throughout the season I do have a Jazz Festival kit scheduled for September when it happens! I haven't researched specifics yet, but the Monterey-Salinas Transit JAZZ bus is gonna be in the moodboard! --- March 16, 2024 Seaside, CA Phoenix Rising FC 0 | Monterey Bay FC 1 RECORD: 1-0-1 The Monterey Canyon is a HUGE reason why the Monterey Bay is such a hub for marine science research! Some of the Monterey Bay's renowned research institutions include UC Santa Cruz's Long Marine Laboratory, San Jose State's Moss Landing Marine Labs, the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, CSU Monterey Bay, and Stanford University's Hopkins Marine Station 2 Quote BEHANCE | PORTFOLIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGiantsFan Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 All caught up to where this series stands right now! --- April 6, 2024 Oakland, CA Monterey Bay FC 1 | Oakland Roots SC 0 RECORD: 2-1-2 At the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, iiiiiin the warm California sun (BOARDWALK!!!) To anyone in northern California, hearing the Boardwalk jingle (arguably more iconic than the 1963 song—"California Sun" by The Rivieras—it samples) is a sign that another sunny summer is right around the corner! 4 Quote BEHANCE | PORTFOLIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were telling the kid about how Hollister is a small ag town in northern California that's actually quite far from the beach 2 Quote BEHANCE | PORTFOLIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
