Oilers1988 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Hi, ive been looking around for the past few days and have been working on my own jersey concept. I posted this on the Edmonton Oilers Message Board and got a positive reaction.This is my first design and in all it took approx. 12 hours total of making, editing and so forth. I went with tradititional colours and kept it very traditional overal, but with a few modern twists, one being the coloured mesh on the sides. I'd like to acknowledge the makers of the various templates and creating tools from this site.Comments and Criticism are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shumway Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 "I like it, I like it a lot" hahaha, reminds me of Dumb & Dumber, which I watched today.As for the concept, I'm kind of undecided whether I like it or not. The simple, ordinary stripes don't seem to mesh well with the big spikes. Plus, I don't really like how the stripes on the bottom just stop at the sides.

rmered Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I like the White with the Blue sides, but I think the Blue with White sides is too much White.Perhaps a solution would be to have the Red and Copper as striping on the outside of the mesh section on both, but both have the Blue mesh.Like Shumway, I think the abrupt halt to the striping around the waist is a bit odd.But I don't know where you'd go with that, except perhaps dropping the striping and finding an alternative. Maybe some sort of cuffs like Ottawa or the Islanders' alts. Still, a pretty good place to start, the White one looks good. Oh, and I've got a site.Footy Jumpers Dot Com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Meh... it's OK. Just OK.My biggest problem is there's an awful lot of white in the dark sweater. It's more obvious on the dark sweater than it is on the white one. It's almost like those BYU "bib" football jerseys that had so much white on them that the NCAA made them get rid of those jerseys. If you want mesh, so be it - but large expanses of white in an otherwise dark sweater look noticeable, and not in the good way. "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.

spyboy1 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 You really haven't broken any new ground with this. It's the same old Oilers jersey that's been "Sharkified" like soooooooooo many other concepts on this board.Sure, go ahead and add the mesh, but why make it such a stark, contrasting color? It just makes it look too busy. And why no secondary logos on the shoulders? At least change the font for the numbers to make it your own.JeffB Click here to read Third String Goalie - The Hockey Jersey of the Day Blog Click here to see my hockey and baseball jersey collection online ?You don?t like to see 20 kids punching 20 other kids.

StoneRaizer Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Don't like it at all, the Oilers uniforms are perfect and nothing can be done to improve them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steiny_ramone Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 oilers1988, you mentioned traditional colours. red navy and copper are not traditonal oilers colours. I was a expecting blue and orange concept except modernized. Same as the other comments, I don't like the contrasting mesh. The mesh almost makes it hard to tell which jersey is the home, and which is the road. facespace?http://www.myspace.com/seancalcottmusic http://www.myspace.com/forgottentoys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
