Dave Ship Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Ok, here's my idea for the US Soccer team. I was working at the same project at the same time as Gordie Delini does. A quick description about the logo:- Brand new shield which is much more modern than the current one;- Kept the soccer ball and the current color scheme;- Removed the stars because USA never won a world championship.Uniform:- After a quick research I notice US Soccer team was born or at least it really identificate itself with this design. So when I did the research that's what was fitting better for the US Soccer to me;- Same color scheme, still working a solution to add some gold;- Old style collar to give more of a traditional look at the uniform;- Worked on the steams;- New font.Please don't comment if you think this is similar Gordie Delini's job because this kind of design has been thought in the early 50's. For example also F.C. Internazionale di Milano had the same design as away kit. My PicturesMy Portfolio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkleton Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Thats really nice work!!I like the badge and the uniforms are tidy with a good design, I could see the national team wearing that. Its actually a good Nike template to use for other teams if your that way inclinedGood work sir, a trophy for ye... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayne Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 ^I prefer the sash, personally.Great logo though. This is a very clean and professional concept, and I could easily see the US national team wearing this. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do.

I Am A Flaming Douche Bag Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 The badge is sharp man and Im loving the unis. Great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointguard4519 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Definitely prefer the first one, but the second isn't horrible - just not something I'd like to see the USMNT in. A club team - maybe, especially one without a lot of tradition. I know that the USMNT doesn't have a concrete uniform tradition, but I like the move we've made away from modern templates.As for the first concept, love it. Love the collar. Love the sash. Love the consistency.Only question is what is on the V-neck (for lack of better term) leading up to the collar. Are they buttons? Just curious.Also, if you're looking for a way to include more gold, what about a number outline in gold on the white and red jerseys? would match the outline of the crest. Just a thought, they are amazing as is. We are one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAsterisk Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Only question is what is on the V-neck (for lack of better term) leading up to the collar. Are they buttons? Just curious.Obviously I can't give you beatnik's answer, but most teams use no fastener there at all. Umbro does offer a kick-ass zipper though.

Except for that Lion kit I never seen a fastener for a soccer uniform. In the past there were a laces fashion for the collar.

Epiphanic Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I like the bottom set of kits better. I like the badge, but it seems like too much blue and the same number of white and red stripes bothers me a bit. I think there should be one more red than white, like the flag, perhaps I could get used to it, but it seems off to my eye. "In the arena of logic, I fight unarmed."I tweet & tumble.

patsox Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I like the bottom variety of the uniforms best. I agree with epiphanic about the number of stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I realize this was the best solution. Anyway, I'll working on new ideas.Could you explain me what do you exactly mean with "the badge seems like too much blue"? Please.

andysoccer12 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Damn, you put a ton of work into these it looks like. I would go with V2 of the jerseys because Im not a huge fan of the stripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epiphanic Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 What I mean by "too much blue" is just that. The blue area overpowers the rest of the crest. So much so that the red and white seem like tertiary colors. There's a lack of balance among the colors in my opinion.I understand the reasoning for having the stripes they way they are. If you want stripes on the opposite sides be different colors, that's the way it has to be done. I just don't care much for how it looks, but that's me.

phayze Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Thats a really slick logo you did there! Nice job. I prefer the 1st set, but I'm not much of a soccer guy so what do I know.Also, on the navy jersey, I'd think white outlined in gold would look better for the numbers/names. It's all good anyway!

pointguard4519 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 The more I look at that first set, the more I think they are absolutely perfect. And those keeper kits are gorgeous.EDIT: Looking at them again, I think the difference for me is the red. Is it just me, or is the red in the second set of kits different than the first set. The first set seems more muted - which I like. The second red reminds me of Poland (especially with an all red/white kit) We are one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mania Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 It's well done, but to me, the badge kind of brings it down, although a big reason might be it just reminds me way too much of FC Dallas. Off The Top Rope: A Pro Wrestling Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
