Jezus_Ghoti Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 There are a lot of fantastic NFL concepts on the boards these days. I haven't really posted much of my own work because I'm far from a skilled graphic designer, but I figured I'd give it a try.My goal with this project is not to make any drastic changes. Some teams are perfect and I don't plan on touching them. All I want to do is fix the things that are currently wrong with some teams.First up is the Cardinals. Obviously, I haven't changed too much here. A brief rundown of what I did:- No more gray facemask- No more red shoulder yoke- No more red pants (they look bad with both jerseys)- A number font that echoes the logoI'd also like to acknowledge andrewharrington's awesome template, which quite obviously was the inspiration for my own new template.

MotownMadman11 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 i think with different numbers and maybe red away pants you could have a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyRock Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 i think with different numbers and maybe red away pants you could have a winner.I don't know about that. I kinda agree with Jezus that the red pants look awful with either jersey and plus with red pants you'd need a white stripe, and then you're back to the same mess they currently have.I definitely think the white mono away in this concept has enough red in it that it wouldn't be boring and therefore doesn't need red pants. I'm a huge fan of the helmet color matching the pants color and it does here, so I like it as is.My only gripe is maybe with the serifs. I don't know if they really accomplish the goal of tying the numbers to the logo and I think the concept would look just as good without them. They could stay or go as far as I'm concerned New York Jets |3-3| First, AFC EastNew York Mets |74-88| Fourth, NL EastNew York Islanders|34-37-11| Fifth, Atlantic DivisionNew Orleans Hornets |21-45| Third, Southwest Division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotownMadman11 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 now that i really think about it, to really make a modern style concept almost like the one they have and improve it, a new bird would be a vast improvement. like i've heard other people say, i don't think the bird is mordernized enough.

chuckymack Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 These jerseys do look remarkably like the Falcons'. Just with wierd numbers. I really like the red facemask, though. Who'd have thought that such a little change could have such a huge effect?! Sigs are for sissies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJM Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Like the numbers, but not so sure about the red facemask.

KennyRock Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Like the numbers, but not so sure about the red facemask.Out of curiosity, why not? I never understood the grey facemask, I was among the shocked when they didn't change it after redoing the unis. What are you other options? White? Way too bland. Black? Okay but IMO inferior to red. It's the perfect color for it.

koizim Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Congrats on making a second Atlanta Falcons, I guess. If that wasn't your aim (and I'm assuming it wasn't), then I think that this baby needs to go back to the drawing board.

Drew22 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Is this a raster template? If so, could you post it for all of us rasterfarians to use? Eagles/Heels/Dawgs/Falcons/Hawks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared222 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 1. Like that the grey facemask is gone 2. I like the all red Uni they wear , so bring back the red pants ...3. The pant stripe you have is screaming Bronco wanna bes to me .4. Does look a lil Falconish 5. Awesome template Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezus_Ghoti Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 For everyone who says that this looks like the Falcons/Broncos, I'll just point out that I used the exact same template that the Cardinals currently use. All I did to it was recolor the shoulder yoke.I agree that the uniforms look like Atlanta, but it's not my doing. My goal was to just make a few small changes (facemask color, number font, removing the red pants with the broken stripe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely get the idea of a yellow facemask on a red helmet with the yellow as the beak... but I don't see how the white/red combo makes sense... I don't know too many birds with a red beak and the cardinal definitely does not.Anyway, my only point was that I don't understand why the team didn't change the grey facemask to red after the update a few years back. Woulda been a smart move.

The_Admiral Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Oh, I was only justifying the yellow mask with red helmet as being a beak. Red with a white helmet would just look like a more modern helmet than hanging on to a grey mask with excessively modern uniforms. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
