Cujo Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I just wanted to mix in a little more gray (not silver) into the retro look the Colts are going with and this is pretty much what I came up with. I added a gray alternate for the hell of it, but if it were up to me I probably would let it out of the set. C&C, people. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floydnimrod Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 The gray adds a nice retro feel.Very Simple. Very nice. Mancakes: The Bandhttps://twitter.com/FloydNimrod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Looks a little too Cowboys to me. If you used the normal block number font, it'd make the Dallas look significantly less. Otherwise pretty decent, I'd think about losing the silver pants though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floydnimrod Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 That cowboys thing just occured to me, maybe losing the silver pants lining would be best, but i love the gray alt. Mancakes: The Bandhttps://twitter.com/FloydNimrod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grungefan Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I think the blue pants might look pretty cool with the white away, but not with the gray. Try and put the gray with the white pants. |NFL - Colts|MLB - Cubs|NHL - Blackhawks|NBA - Pacers|NCAA - Butler|EPL - Chelsea FC|MLS - Timbers| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHcreative Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Retro! I like. Silver jerseys, I don't really know if I like 'em or not... But I think I'm leaning towards me liking them. Good Work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoRangers. Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 This is awesome. I would just add a gray lining around the away numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Good --1. Old school number font. Everyone associates that font with the Cowboys, but I believe the Colts used it at one time as well. (I'll have to look it up to confirm).2. Using the bucking Colts logo (even if it isn't on the uniform itself). They need to use that more (even if I cringe seeing it used in Indianapolis).Bad --1. Blue pants. They have always annoyed me for some reason.2. Silver/grey pants. Too Cowboys, especially with that stripe pattern. At least when the Colts wore grey pants in the 80s, they used a single blue stripe, so it didn't scream Cowboys as much.3. Silver/grey alt.4. Not finding a way to make the shoulder loops go all the way around. Someone PLEASE find a way to fix this problem (that is hardly unique to the Colts).Overall, good work.

VitaminD Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I was getting a Cowboys vibe as well - and that's before I read the other C&C. Metallic alts never work out right; if the Colts went to silver, we'd have 10 threads open complaining that the silver pants don't match the helmets or the jerseys, and then PANTONE would have to post his color charts a kajillion times to confirm the discrepancies. And he's a very busy man. Silver in the shoulder stripes does look sharp, however. Not too crazy about seeing it on the helmet.EDIT: My bad, DC. You did say gray. Scratch 90% of the above post. But gray's its own problem - what does the other team wear? Whites or darks? "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...
Cujo Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 I'd like to state again the the color added is gray, not silver. Therefore the alternates are not metallic like those hideous Patriot alternates. Just wanted to clear that up. I also edited it and mixed in white pants with the gray alts. Thanks for the comments though. Keep em coming as I try to get these right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
