GoDawgs08 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 The Cardinals have stuck with the same color scheme since the franchise began, which has included a hint of blue. However, the Cardinals have stuck to red uniforms throughout their history. The recent change was dissapointing, and looked awful. Heres my interesting take on what they could have done.

josh_cat_eyes Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Yet agian, ALWAYS save in .PNG. BTW how did you manage to post 3 concepts in like 20 minutes? Did you already have them done and just post them all at once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckymack Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 These are perhaps the most original of your concepts, but the use of navy blue as the primary color doesn't exactly scream 'Cardinals' to me. Sigs are for sissies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Cardinals are red, hince the use of color red. They haven't overused red. It's the color of the frickin bird their named after. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

officeglenn Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 From what I can see on PANTONE's site, the only blue the Cardinals have ever used is in the Arizona state flags they used to wear on the sleeves, and there's no blue anywhere in their scheme right now, so the choice of blue as the primary uniform colour really baffles me. Plus the yellow has only ever shown up on the beak in the logo, and nowhere else. You're really giving a lot of weight to two colours that don't feature very prominently in the team's colour scheme. Red should be the dominant colour, because that's the colour cardinals are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentrygraphics Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 are they the Arizona Cardinals...or the Orlando Rage? "This isn't just the Oregon Ducks, it's Football's Future Turf Soldier War Hero Steel Robot Tech Flex Machine Army." -CS85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick the brick Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I like the origniality. There is not much you can do to alter the color scheme of the Cardinals, but adding the yellow in the Arizona flag as a highlight, makes it works very well. My only crituqe would be for the pant striping to come down past the thigh pad.peace nick Wall"Find the flame, light the fire"BEAT ASHEVILLE SCHOOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koizim Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 First of all, never post new 3 concepts in one day. It's a bad idea in terms of both quality and etiquette. Secondly, . Finally (this one actually pertains to your concept), when doing an Arizona Cardinals concept, don't use blue as a primary color. It will never work and, chances are, you'll end up getting mocked. Even a blue alternate jersey is pushing it. I'd say, if you want to use blue for the Cards, which I would refrain from doing all together, use it as an accent color; trust me: it will look a lot less crazy. I'd send this concept back to the drawing board, but with some extra time and practice, you'll soon be well on your way to creating great uniforms (well, okay, maybe not soon, but eventually).

Jamikel Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 When I was in middle school, we played a school whose nickname was the Cardinals and whose primary color was royal blue. The St. Louis Cardinals wear navy caps on the road. Two real-world instances of teams using blue as a primary color for a team called Cardinals. And in each instance, I felt just as confused as I do right now by your color selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heernumurr Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression they were called the Cardinals because of the colour red. Someone described the colour they played in as faded, but was then corrected that it wasn't "faded red" it was "cardinal red". Perhaps someone can confirm/refute this?

TML13 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 well to beat the dead horse some more...too much blue. a team called the cardinals should be primarily red. ~Sign the Petition, Join on Facebook, Follow on Twitter~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heernumurr Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Found a source for this: History of the Arizona CardinalsWhich means that they were actually named after the colour. You wouldn't have the Cincinnati Reds primary colour as blue, so the same should probably apply here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it's in the state flag doesn't mean it has to be incorporated with the team.

This concept relegates the red to only the cardinal head logo, and some trim. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hardly call that the primary road color. The jersey logo, lettering, numbering, socks, and even shoes (plus, the 'STL' ON the hat) are all still red. And I'm leaving it at that.Ok, I can't reply anymore until tomorrow.
