B-Rich Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 A while back I started a thread about a "name the team" contest for New Orleans' USL soccer team. Well apparently a winner has been chosen and the new name is... the New Orlean Jesters. A new team logo has also been developed as shown is the below release:Personally, not too keen on it. The logo is very weak, pretty basic (what's with the shadowing?). Yet another New Orleans logo with a fleur-de-lis. And if you're going to go for the Mardi Gras color vibe, go all out and add the gold.... not black. It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecticbro Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I think it's a stupid name. I think the colors are hideous. I think it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgundy Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 They must not want to be taken seriously because that logo is terrible. Maybe without gradients it would be decent, but as of now that's just poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAO Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 When you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all..............Guess that's why we have censorship. In all seriousness though, they should've asked the NBA to use the jester/ball secondary logo used for the '08 All Star Game in New Orleans. Or just something like it. Then again, it is the USL.

O_Town_Clown Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I'd like to see it without the black "New Orleans" section at the top of the shield and without the shadows. I don't think it would be nearly as bad as it is now. Sig by TalktoChuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I hate the 3-D rendering... but, oddly, I rather like the idea behind the badge. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

cubbies06 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 EXTREMELY disappointed. I've been following this name change closely hoping for the best but expecting something like this. Begin to realize something was amiss when the name change announcement went from January 5th to the middle of January to today. They held a underpublicized "name the team" contest which only diehard New Orleans soccer fans knew about. I think the fleur de lis being incorporated into the logo is a noble gesture , but damn that is a less than thrilling logo. It's a PDL developmental team , not a top flight USL team , so this monstrosity will not be let loose on all of America to see. Jesters??? Why not go with FC Bozo...??

Krona Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 the bar has been set. I can officially say that i deserve to be employed full time, with benefits and vacation, at a graphic design studio if this is the kind of product that rolls out on the production end of said studio.

BlueSky Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Well, it's bad but not as awful as the name picked for the minor league baseball team when that sport returned to New Orleans in the mid-70's. Those poor bastards were to be called the New Orleans Maskers. The name bombed horribly and before their first season the team was rebranded with the historical Pelicans name. Didn't matter, they didn't last long anyway and baseball left N.O. until the Zephyrs arrived in the 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 12 at the time and I still remember the Mardi Gras mask "logo" in the paper. I recall that an old lady was the winning contestant who came up with that gem.......

Discrim Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Jesters aint as awful of a name choice as yall makin it out to be. True, coming up with a name for a New Orleans team is kinda tough because most of the good ones have already been used, and Jokers is a better name in Finnish than in English (see Jokerit Helsinki). Still, sounds like a name you could get behind.The logo, though...in some cases, gradient looks nice. This is not such a case.

logoman Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I think the name is fine. It works well for the area. The badge is what I think needs some serious work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 The name is fine. The crest would look good without a 3D effect, or gradient. Also maybe change the colours a little. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheer Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I have no problem with the name or the colors, but I'm not digging the gradient. As for those who hate the colors, think Mardi Gras... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalktoChuck Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 It definitly needs gold. Still wouldn't be good, but gold would make it a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
