Dave Ship Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 It's time for me to present my latest creation. Last but not the least here are the "new" Cowboys from Dallas. One of the most glorious franchise of the history of the NFL throws me an hard challenge. Thinking about an update for such a classic team is not so easy so I tried to stay very conservative while giving them a more aggressive look.C'mon take a look at whole project starting from the logos set.Primary logo: the star will never abandon the Cowboys in the centuries to come. A star is integral part of the franchise and nobody can renunce to this logo. so I just give them a little update adding a silver internal line and a black background.Secondary logo: here's the most controversial knot of the whole project. A blue cowboy hat with the Texas state inside. The first time I tried them out looks almost real that I decide to stick with it and don't touch it.Script: I found that font on dafont.com and I didn't touch it. Just added a distorted original star and that's all. Blue, silver and black are the colors used.Cowboys Stadium logo: an old logo I did several time ago that I want to propose again.

Dave Ship Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 Home: I kept their current color scheme, obviously. White jersey on silver pants to keep a strong link with the history of this franchise. The main update can be found on the sleeves stripes. As you can see I added a central silver stripe and a couple of white ones. I did it to give a more solid look to the whole jersey. Now the pants. The stripes at both sides start now from a couple of little stars that reclaim the design foundable on the jersey's sleeves.I just added a little vintage stars at the bottom of each number.For the home jersey I switched for a COWBOYS script.Away: I just switched the color scheme because it looks very nice already in my opinion. I tried several other combos but no one suit as well as this one. Nothing much to add from the home uniform description. As you can see I used a DALLAS script for the away one because I think outside of the next Cowboys Stadium the team must represent the city the most.Alternate: I'm crazy for monochrome look for the NFL so I tried to make one for the team I support. I choosed a full body blue this time. Switched the secondary logo with the primary to give a more modern and unique look.Helmet Stick with their current one but with a bluefacemask. I tried out to use the secondary logo but it just doesn't say Cowboys to me. My PicturesMy Portfolio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mania Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I like the secondary, and the striping patterns on the uniforms, as well as the silver used (hate the greenish-silver currently used on the whites).I don't like just about everything else. I hate the font, especially on the jerseys. The more royal blue to me looks about a billion times better than the navy ever does, I don't like the arbitrary and unnecessary use of black, think the logo with such little change but no good change is a downgrade.I appreciate what you attempted, but just don't like much of the end result.

robnshell18 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Love the stadium logo. Other than that, I wouldn't mess with a good thing.

AJM Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 All look great except for the numbers...font is not a good match. Adding the star in the number is a bit too soccer for me. Otherwise the overall design is great!

habsfan1 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Thankfully you removed all the black from the uniform. But now you added black to the main logo which creates 4 outlines (white, blue, gray and black). I would of kept the star the way it is. Other than that, great job.

bohob Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 The good: Nice striping on the jerseys and pants. The stadium logo is nice, but should be blue. The secondary logo is beautiful (except the black)! I also really like the blue facemask.The bad: I bet you can guess my first one.... get rid of the black. I'm also not keen on the font. It's not nearly western enough for a team like the Cowboys. I like what you tried to do with the stars in the numerals, but it's too futbol (as opposed to football). Also, the logo on the hip of the navy pants should face forward. Finally, I would like to see it with the greenish silver, but that's a personal preference.

Keith75 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I like the cowboy hat and Texas logo. I think you should try a grey hat instead of a blue hat. I think it would look better. I was also thinking how coach Landry wore a fadora, you could make a throwback logo of Texas and a fadora. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otero1 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Everything is good except the number font, change it to the old school one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korbyn Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 That is the coolest logo from a great artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 For some reason, I look at all of this and think "Detroit Lions", especially when I look at the secondary logo. I think right now, the Cowboys and Lions don't look much alike, but with this concept, they look similar. On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc?

sacker12 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 You accidentally put the old image of the navy jersey with silver pants up. However, I like the changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I love that secondary. It certainly says "Cowboys" more than a star does.

vicfurth Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 These are ok. The thing that bothers me most is the secondary logo. The shading and shadowing in the hat contrasts way to much with the flat Texas graphic that it would never look right to me.I do like the improvement on the number font, though. Much better than the original you had, which looked very cut off. I think you should find a happy medium between the two. The idea of a star in each numeral actually could work, I think.I'm not to keen on the all-blue, either. I would scrap that idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
