epper Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 I hope mr. SHB doesn't get upset at me venturing into his territory, but I'm starting a NBA-baseball x-over set. I plan on doing every team, except the Nets, which dont really make sense as a baseball team Give me all the opinions or critisicm you want, I can handle it. I'll set up the post the same as SHB always does, all the concepts in this post, and then check back for updates!:Atlanta Hawks (version 2)Boston CelticsChicago BullsCleveland CavaliersDallas MavericksDenver Nuggets (version 2)Detroit PistonsGolden State WarriorsHouston RocketsIndiana PacersLA ClippersLA LakersMemphis GrizzliesMiami HeatMilwaukee BucksMinnesota T-WolvesNew Jersey NetsN'Awlins HornetsNew York KnicksOrlando MagicPhiladelpia 76ers
sc49erfan15 Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 Nice work! Especially the Celtics, green pinstripes! Good job!
IronChefShark Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 since I dont do anything NBA-related I have no problem with you persuing this whatsoever (I doubt it would really matter if I did though)the hawks one I really dont care for but the celtics look great. I probably would have put the city names on the road jerseys, but you did them how you wanted to and I respect that (unlike a lot of people on here).the big logo on the hawks alternate, cant really say I like that, but like I said, thats how you wanted it so thats how it will stay.

Phil Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 I think these are pretty cool. Good work, epper.Is your last name Epp, as in Mennonite 'Epp'?
GMS1122 Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 Wow, nice job epper, keep it up and i agree with SHB in saying that in most cases the city name would fit better on the road jerseys, but you've done a good job already  GMS on dribbbleErie Apparel
STL FANATIC Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 I believe the Hawks could perhaps use a little more black, and an ATLANTA script would be nice. What you have is pretty dark good too.Boston I would use a flat B for the hat, but other than that this is also a nice crossover.We have the right to say what we think about the jerseys good and bad and how to improve them. The designer has a right not too make the changes. Sometimes the designers gets a new idea from this stuff though so it can be a good thing. We all respect the right for the designer not to change, but if you post them you want our oppinions and with oppinions come explanations.Also, anyone is welcome to do crossovers. Shark was not the first, but he has been the most prominent crossover designer, but anyone can do them. Heck, I think he even challenged us to do them. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT
epper Posted June 28, 2003 Author Posted June 28, 2003 thanks for the replies guys. I kinda figured i'd get the responses on chanhing the away jerseys to city names, but it just so happens that the 1st two teams i did actually wear their nicknames on their road jerseys in the NBA, so thats where i got that idea. But I'll fool around with it and see what happensSyPhi, yep, im 100% Mennonite!
IowaFan26 Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 Holy Cow!The home uniforms for the Celtics look exactly like the uniforms the local "Midget" Little League baseball team wears!Just change the 'B' to an 'R' and drop the four leaf clover and there it is. Althougth, I think the uni's could use the clover. We're a largely Irish society.
Phil Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 SyPhi, yep, im 100% Mennonite!YEAH!!! That's awesome! Now there's (at least) two of us!

Moser316 Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 Hawks: Â Great, but could use a bit more black. Â Probably the better looking of the two.Celtics: Â On the right track, but I'm just not feeling the cap logo. Â I think it's because it's the slanted "C" from their wordmark. Â I might try an inter-locking "B-C" logo in front of the three-leaf clover (so it doesn't look so Boston College-ish), but that's just me
epper Posted June 28, 2003 Author Posted June 28, 2003 2 more added, and one updated:Atlanta Hawks, verision 2: I took some suggestions to add more black and have the city on the road uni, and i think it really finished 'em off. Thanks for the comments guys!Chicago Bulls: not a very exciting logo/colour combo to work with, but i tried my bestCleveland Cavaliers: i cant say enough about their new scheme! i love it! i think the workmark transfers quite well to a baseball uni. kinda gambled on the 3rd jersey's hat.Lemme know what you think!
IronChefShark Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 BUMPyes I will acknowledge that x-overs concepts have been posted here long before I started making themas I continued to crank them out, most of the other users have annointed me "the king of x-over". I never asked to be reffered to as such, but it just stuck. US state flag concepts
Phil Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 Wow, epper, these are outstanding. I'd venture to call them SHB-esque... not quite at the level of the Xover King, but getting darn close. Atlanta V2 and Chicago are great, but the Cleveland one is the best.
Cuss16 Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 Very cool, maybe they should start wearing those instead to the games. Doh!
Saintsfan Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 Yeah these are great- and the blue cavaliers hat works just fine! 2011/12 WFL Champions
Snowcap30 Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 great work! IMO, it would be cool if u made the bulls alt pinstripe to bring back the old ones.ques - where did u get the chest woodmarks of the cavs?
epper Posted June 30, 2003 Author Posted June 30, 2003 2 More Added:Dallas Mavericks: One of my favourite NBA jerseys. I think the 3rd jersey turned out the best. I had fun editing the basketballs out of both logos!Denver Nuggets: i really like their schnazzy new colour scheme, but it was hard to make a road jersey because IMO grey and yellow clash. i took most of the yellow out, but im still not happy with it. again, i think the 3rd jersey worked best. (Snowcap, the workmarks on the Cavs jerseys were made my hand.)
Phil Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 Wow, some more great work.The Mavs colour scheme works well for baseball, and I very much appreciate the high quality editing you did on the logos. Good work.The Nuggets looks good, but a few suggestions. They have a DN logo that they used on their draft caps, and although it's pretty lame, it's an actual part of their identity (which I believe the logo you used is not). Also, I don't like the cap logo for the alt, but don't have any suggestions on that. The road jerseys are tastefully done, good work in incorporating the grey and yellow.I am very much enjoying these, keep up the great work!
