lost_limey Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I just don't like black as a main color, so I spent a bit of time with Clemente's templates & numbers bashing this out, what do y'all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 First of all, the stripes on the white jersey are backwards--the Eagle follows the stripe down towards the viewer's left.I can't say I like these at all, the red and blue are both too bright and compete with each other the way they're used. As much as I hate-hate-hate their black jersey (the striping pattern, the colours, the dome logo), this doesn't do anything for me either. Sorry.(If they're gonna bring something back, bring back the blue "checkmark" jersey that complements the white jersey. That was a great set of jerseys.)

Sterling84 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Everything Mockba said, plus I wouldn't use black at all if I had to go r/w/b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 The Caps really need to start with a clean slate. I hate how they have 2 different templetes and 2 different uniforms. I'd like to see the unused logo utilized in something like this, but definately with a standardized templete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReginaCanuck Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 sorry but those colours are horrible together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 One thing that makes no sense to me on the red jersey is that the blue and black stripes are swapped over between the sleeves and the bottom of the jersey. I would deepen the red a bit, add maybe a gold color instead of the black but use it just as an accent to offset the reed and blue. And actrually also darken the blue down a bit, assuming that you go for blue pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost_limey Posted March 14, 2005 Author Share Posted March 14, 2005 I'll re-work this using everyone's suggestions, but the red & blue colors are from ssurorg's pdf of the colours that the Caps used to use. And does anybody know where I can get a good sized version of that unused logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Get rid of the black or deep blue and it'll work much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost_limey Posted March 14, 2005 Author Share Posted March 14, 2005 Made a few revisions, what do you think now? (I know I need to clean up the Roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J23P Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 other than the stripe being backwards, i like the uniform idea. maybe switch the eagle with the capital logo for the front of the jersey? i also like the idea about the unused logo. i saw it on a previous thread, however, i cant find it. but here is a link that has it, but really small.http://www.logoserver.com/NHL.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schtee Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 a return to patriotic colors would certainly work better than the black, teal and brown mess the caps (and wiz) currently employ. those colors together, man, disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling84 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 a return to patriotic colors would certainly work better than the black, teal and brown mess the caps (and wiz) currently employ. those colors together, man, disgusting.Humbly disagree. Blue, not teal. Bronze, not brown. Oval Office man, seal of the president n stuff.Was the best scheme going pre-Wiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost_limey Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 Well, I've tidied up the roads a little, very pleased about how these came out.I like the current Caps colors (excepting the black) but wanted to try a return to the 'Old Skool' Caps.

jamesjduncan Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Not a huge fan of the checkmark stripes, but outside of that a really cool piece. I would like to see them just scrap it and bring the old stuff back, but this is a nice compromise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost_limey Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 Not a huge fan of the checkmark stripes, but outside of that a really cool piece. Hooray! My first vaguely positive criticism. And yeah, I like the old layout, but I do prefer the new Eagle logo over the old Capitals word mark. But that'd be like 10 seconds in paint to do, so I tried to combine the old colors & stripe scheme with the new logos and checkmark stripe pattern.

Magus Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 i like the idea of bringing back red, white and blue with bronze trim. my suggestion is to use navy, darker shade of red and trim it out with a bronze. but over all, this concept certainly has potential. and would love to see the finished product.
