LAS VEGAS MLB CONCEPT

[cyandlux]

Since this is getting largely ignored, I decided to start a new thread.

This is my idea for a MLB team in Las Vegas

As always C&C please!

Updated a few mistakes.....Roadrunners = AAA & Chaparrals = majors...thats the main differences

I might put up a color tweak to the bird at some point......

[EJ_Barlik]

Is that like a roadrunner? Never heard of a chaparral before....

[bulldogbarks55]

Dallas used the Chaparrals nickname in the ABA in '67. Shortened it to "CHAPS."

The cap logos need some work. The "LV" monogram is too small on the first, and the bird is too small with so much detail to translate to an embroidered cap well. I'd go with the first, maybe with that pale blue as an outline to make it stand out. (Is the gold going to be metallic?)

I like the concept and the idea, and can't wait for the uniforms, although it could be hard to work those colors into a professional uniform. We'll see - good luck!

[BallWonk]

Awesome overall. The LV needs to be bigger, and might need some kind of outline, on the cap. I disagree that the bird is too detailed to work - Baltimore's bird would make Audubon proud and New Era manages to stitch it - but I think your bird head logo is more distinctive. I'd use that as a road cap.

Can't wait to see uniforms!

BW - I was saying that if the bird were to be used for a cap logo, it'd have to be bigger. As is, it is far too small - smaller than Baltimore's bird, even moreso when you consider how much of the chaparral is tail - to be reproduced with quality and accuracy in the details. Make the bird bigger, and I am sure that New Era could easily do a good job.

YAh, I just tossed the logos on the hats to see what they would look like, not final or anything....oh and

BUMP!

that was fun, my first bump, MORE C&C PLEEEEAAAASE!

On the bird does the head area need feathers and more detail?

[youcan'tseeme]

when i first looked i thought they sucked! Know after looking I love then!

[Grish]

I believe Roger Penske's old indy car models where called Chaparrals....

No sure it is a baseball type name for me.. but overall decent idea. Just need some minor tweaks. I might consider some different coloring, but that is just me.

[cyandlux]

Here it is with color changes...NV is the silver state so I made that more dominant with the "Vegas Gold"....tell me which you think is best gold outline or silver.

[cyandlux]

This is it with the gold outline, which I like better, plus I like the silver body rather than brown.

I am working on a word mark for the jerseys and to overlay the poker chip. Plus I think that the bird is too "long" so Im going to try and put the tail up and curved.

[VitaminD]

Watching this reminds me of the evolution of your Hartford concept. This too is coming along nicely. Any way to have the tail point straight up? It would make the design more compact laterally, and then you could make it bigger so the details would show up well on an embroidered cap.

[cyandlux]

Heres another tweak, mostly wordmarks.....

I attempted a tweak on the tail but my gf said that it didnt look like a roadrunner anymore because she felt it needed to be pointing out to be recognizable....maybe I'll try some tomorrow...so I'll call it a night for now.....

[AJM]

A MLB team in Las Vegas...I smell another design cometition in the air.

What on earth possessed you to bump up this thread?

As for the logo package, like the LV hat logo, like the shoulder patch, would suggest using the secondary rather than the primary on the Alt. hat, think that the tail on the primary is a little on the big side, and am not entirely sold on the "Chaparrals" cursive font. Pretty good design with an inventive name, though.

[Cola]

I think the feet look awkward...maybe add another toe or something?

[Brendan]

is the chapparalls actualy what the team would be called or did cyandlux just make that up. the should use a cool name like the Las Vegas Aces or Las Vega Gold

[nwtrailtrekker]

dude its old news. we've seen it already.

[sonks]

No offense, but:

Chapparals? Brown, gray, babypowdersky blue, gold? clip art roadrunner logo? In the MLB? Eh, I don't think so.

Aces work. Mayyybe Chaps. But Chapparals is just plain awkward. So are the colors.

[floydnimrod]

I love it.

It's not awkward its just unique, it stands out to me. And I love those colors

Got any jerseys for this?
