cappital92 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I hear people talk about how they wish that someone would use the old Houston Oilers colors of baby blue and red. I also remember hearing BallWonk say how baby blue is the color of road Phillies fans. So, I put two and two together.Only question is, alt or not? http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes?

gingerbreadmann Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 The answer to that is... Yes...But with a few tweaks. Foremost, I'm not sure what you did to warp the wordmark and names, and I'm sure it's meant to look cleaner since you're on Paint, but I would almost just leave them horizontal. Also get some neck/collar/down the middle piping on the homes. Finally, lighten the blue, ues the lower-case P, and try this on the new off-white color jersey, and you're golden. I think we have a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riccirulesall Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I would thicken the stitches in the 'P' and ditch the warped nameplate. It looks good on the script, but it's a little much on the nameplate, plus it may be hard to know what the word is if reading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaMike81 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 As a Phils fan, I love the idea of the uniform. It retains a retro Phillies style, with an updated execution. However, I would like to see the primary logo in place of the numbers on all jerseys, and the away jersey wordmark to say "Philadelphia." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP14 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 As a Phillies fan I always wondered about the old P with the ball in it logo, and why it had the "stitches" on the hat, but not the jersey. As it turns out, and I'm not sure if they have changed the rule since those days, but it is (or was) actually not allowed to wear any logo or wordmark that incorporated the image of a baseball on it on the jersey itself. Somebody may be able to correct me here, I wouldn't be surprised if they have in fact change the rule at this point. JerseyDatabase.com - I'm that guy...

Shumway Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Just a few thoughts:- I like the thought of bringing back the ball lines to the P. The execution could use some work, but I like the thought.- Philadelphia is a bit long for a jersey. Try the "P" for both.- No more pinstripes. I like it. I'm not a fan of 'em on the Phightins'.- I'm not digging the colors...at all. First, the powder blue was a uniform-only type of thing for the Phils. They were cranberry and white. I actually preferred the gray roads during the era. Second, regarding the colors, you've got two very bright light colors. THe cranberry would work with the light blue, because one is dark, one is light. It's a good contrast. I'd honestly lose the baby blue, switch to a dark royal blue for the primary color, and use red for trim. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappital92 Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 V.2I darkened the red to what the SSUR says it currently is, darkened the blue, added the primary logo on the sleeves, and swiched the nameplates from vertical to radical arch. http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes?

wman Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I'd like the see just the Liberty Bell secondary logo on the sleeve. It's the same one they wear on their stirrups (at least Jamie Moyer does). Bring back the Whale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJaxon Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I'm sorry. I want to like it, but I don't. I don't mind the colors so much, but the Philadelphia word mark doesn't do it for me. The logo should just include the liberty bell, but that's it. I give you credit for trying something new, just isn't my cup of tea. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbreadmann Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 You got the colors better, but nothing else. Still change to the lower case P, make everything horizontal and not warped or arched, make the back numbers smaller, and use a Phillies wordmark not "Philadelphia."

fkaKrock5cent Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Go with the current road set with these and use the old marron in place of red. It contrasts better with the powder blue. Also, please clean up the main logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
