andrewharrington Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Something a whole lot simpler that pays homage to the past AND represents a completely fresh start.

This is essentially flawless.agreed.my one prob is the thin number font...maybe beef it up a bit (not adding a stroke obviously) Red Goat Creations :: Graphic Design Solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Cunningham Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Design-wise (colors not withstanding), these look a lot like the uniforms worn by the Eastern Conference of the NFL in the 1968 Pro Bowl: single shoulder stripe; tall, skinny-ish, simple block numbers. I like this concept a lot. Easy to recognize, but not exactly like anything they've worn before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slightly shotgunned Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 While I stand by my position that the Lions do not need to have a retro look to them (not even on thanksgiving IMO), I wouldn't mind all that much to see them sport these over the poor excuse for an update that they've come up with. I agree that the numbers are too thin, but overall, nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 As someone who really like the new Lions' uniforms, these are so much better.

Jezus_Ghoti Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I don't think these would be an upgrade. They are nicely rendered and all that, but that shoulder stripe just doesn't look like the Lions to me. These scream simple for the sake of being simple. I normally like simplicity, but I think these would become boring very fast.I usually love your stuff, but I think this would be a lateral move from the new Lions uniforms, at best.

cward Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Love the mark Andrew. I think w/ a version of their original sleeve striping this concept would be right on. www.skyedesignstudios.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewharrington Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 but that shoulder stripe just doesn't look like the Lions to me.Isn't the point in reinventing yourself to not look like the team that's been mostly futile for 50+ years? Also, cward, I did try this first with a classic Northwestern-style sleeve, and it looked nice, but for the same reasons, I decided to scrap it in favor of a new look, a different look and a more modern look because we all know this team doesn't need more of the same.

sbutler66 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Excellent job. I never understood the need for so much black piping in the original, and now in the re-design. The wordmark is so much better in your version, although it does scream wild west a little to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckDownfield Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Simply incredible. Just like others have said, just make the numbers a little thicker. GIANTS_REDSOX_CELTICS_LIGHTNING_BULLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappital92 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I think that the stripe on the away jersey should be blue. And I think an outline would help the numbers a lot. http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEWJ Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I like this a lot, however, I don't know why so many people insist on using no white. Yes, it gives a throwback vibe, but not a timeless vibe. To me it gives off an out of date look, and an over-satuated look (when it comes to the blue jersey). It doesn't look bad, although I'd love to see the addition of white trim. As of now, a 9 out of 10. Could easily be a 10, with some white.Maybe I'm the only one who thinks this; just my 2 cents. | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsox Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I agree with LEWJ come to think about it. It might not hurt to use white numbers and a few white accents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 i love it... only changes i'd make are these:on the helmet, make the silver outline on the logo white. it can be blue/silver on white backgrounds, and blue/white on silver backgrounds.i'd also make the home name/numbers 1-color white. the silver pants, helmet, and stripe should be enough silver, and i think the white lettering would really bring it all together. (especially since white is an obviously big part of the road jersey, and due to nfl uniform rules, the bottom half of the socks will have to be white regardless)i like it a lot.
