patsox Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I got rid of the gray outline around the Sox logo, because it's just needless clutter. Same with the Sox sleeve patch. I got rid of the white outline on the away jersey because I don't really think that it is necessary either. I also used piping on the road jersey rather than that awful sleeve striping they use. It's tacky and 70s-esque. Finally, I created a new alternate uniform. No gray, no double outlines, just fresh black and white. This would be worn at home on Friday nights.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------UpdateAdded White outline around numbers and script on away jersey, changed sleeve design to design reminiscent of that of the current uniforms, changed sleeve design on alternate jersey to match that.

JayLo1112 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 These are awesome. One thing I would do is ditch the pin stripes on the alts. 'cause for some reason I have a disliking for pin stripes. Just can't tell ya why. But other wise these are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be worn at home on Friday nights.Sorry patsox, but I'm going to disagree with you on most of this. As a Sox fan who owns both a home pinstriped and a road gray jersey, I think they really need the silver. Without the outlines or any silver at all, these just look incredibly flat. Especially important is the silver outline on the Sox logo, it makes the logo pop instead of being swallowed by the pinstripes. The problem I have with the piping on the road jersey you did is that it now makes the White Sox have the same (or very similar) piping as about a dozen other teams. It's just generic. I can understand if you just don't like what they currently do (I think it's great. I'm not sure what exactly makes it "tacky" or "70s-esque" since it was introduced in 1990), but to change from what is a unique striping to a generic, copy-cat piping isn't working in my opinion.Basically, these are a downgrade.

cappital92 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I think you should've replaced the sliver outlines with green, red or even black. http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I think their jerseys could use some improvement here and there, I still love the current set, and don't think this improves upon it at all.

JayJaxon Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I have to agree with the majority here patsox. You didn't add anything but rather took away, and it didn't work in this case. There is not a lot you can do with the White Sox in the first place, so it is a difficult set to pull off. This just isn't doing it though.

The_Admiral Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I don't understand how these improve upon what they wear already. At the very least, you could've given them white socks.There is not a lot you can do with the White Sox in the first placeThere's a ton of stuff the White Sox themselves have done with the White Sox. Our concepteers can surely come up with things. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our concepteers can surely come up with things.I agree with that. What I meant was if he used the same logo set they currently have, it would be difficult to put something different out there.Take the recent update for example. Sorry Patsox, but at first glance, I can't tell the difference between this set and what they are currently wearing. Perhaps you should do something more radical and outside the box.

elliott Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Agreed, you've done a few concepts now where you've barely changed anything, in this one the changes make it look worse. I like silver for the Sox, although I wouldn't be opposed to a completely revamped color scheme. Anyhow if you really want to keep doing baseball concepts, start a thread where you do "tweaks". There is no need to start multiple threads for these slight changes. And please, please don't go back to your old ways...And, to tell you the truth, I don't think anyone cares what time you update your concepts. Dribbble ...

The removal of white from the away jersey, the change to major piping, and the removal of the sleeve patch are major changes in my book. The alt jersey is a significant change also IMO.

scarsofthumper Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 What I think they should have done is more with that black alt. I always thought doing the road Chicago script in white or gray on the black will look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirwuf Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I would love to see a version of the current set with GOLD replacing silver...I saw a tv graphic like that a year or so ago and it awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDR Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Downgrade. And not even an imaginative one at that. Just an unnecessary "clean-up." And I actually really like the sleeve patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
