Audiodrama Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Tried to mix the old & new. Biggest change is probably the elimination of the tomahawk on the front of the jerseys. C&C welcome as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sscrunner06 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Wow, this is really impressive. It's a great blend of the old and new...really good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I think you did a great job mixing old and new. I'm glad you kept the navy and didn't regress back to the royal.One thing - Something looks odd about the "A" in Atlanta. The rest of the letters are italicized, so they look vertical even with the slant in the mark. The A looks unitalicized, like it is falling away from the rest of the letters. The B in Braves looks exactly the opposite, like it is falling into the mark.

They're exactly the same shape/italicization of their current uniforms, except that I merely erased the tomahawk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the tomahawk lends a balancing affect to the wordmark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 It looks good, but I like the tomahawk on there. With the division championship run, I think the current set is officially as untouchable as the uniforms of the Yankees. That said, you did a good job. Maintained the last holdout of hockey sweater nameplate arching, points for that. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VitaminD Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Italicizing the "A" would mean altering the cap logo, since the cap logo is upright. If you didn't, people would get all bent out of shape about how the Braves have 2 "A"s, like the Tigers and Yankees, and why don't they go to hell for that, and... I'm getting ahead of myself.The look is nice, but I think that when they brought back the tomahawk, their uniforms entered the Top 5 in all of baseball for as long as they keep them like this. And I hate the $#&^*&!ing Braves, always have (they'd beat up on the Phils even when they were lousy... I have been alive long enough to remember when the Braves were lousy)The last names should be bigger as well. Just a little thing I noticed.Overall, great job with the look. And thanks for dumping the so-red-my-eyes-bleed alternates. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranium Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Great job, somehow modern and retro at the same time. I would like to see the jersey in a real game to see if the single arm feather works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldogbarks55 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Nice work. The Braves switched to navy as their primary lettering color in the late '60s ('69, I think) and also dropped the tomahawk. I like the way you integrated the feather into the sleeve trim. And I'm glad you put numbers on the front of the jersey. That's the one thing that has been missing from the current Braves' set. ?- Are you sure Ted knows he still owns the Braves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 i've always been a fan of the feather sleeves idea... you brought it back without making it look like a retro-reach. nice job.not sure if the tomahawk would make it look cluttered, but i'd like to see it stay on the script.

boardname Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I like it. Any reason the feather is only one one side though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenchy Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I like it. Any reason the feather is only one one side though? Wow, that's very good. Nicely done. Agree with VitaminD that the names should be a bit larger, maybe not arched(?).I could see putting the feather on one sleeve while leaving the other blank for the inevitable commemorative patches or mourning bands.

And thanks for dumping the so-red-my-eyes-bleed alternates. So then italicize the hat logo. Isn't that how most teams "update" classic looks? By italicizing and shadowing?I'm glad there's no Mets-ish shadowing going on here.

Aurelius13 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I can find nothing wrong with these. Not to say the Braves have bad uniforms now or are in need of a change, but these are very good uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
