cappital92 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I was looking at the San Francisco script that the Giants have, and I thought that it would look better than the current block lettering they have now. I was just going to post the road, but I wanted to change the striping up, and different striping on two jerseys didn't seem right, so I made a home and alt.Major changes:-"San Francisco" in script on road, not block.-changed orange-black-orange striping to orange-black-orange-black.-Got rid of gold. Some people say it makes the jersey pop more, but to me, it didn't go well with the orange.-Added black alt. I wanted to make the lettering black like the previous alt, but giving cream a bigger role felt like the right choice. Plus, it looked way better, IMO.-Put the retro script on the right sleeve. I like it, but most people seem to like the current lettering they have.So, without further ado, here they are.Home:Road:Alt: http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes?

speedy Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 The Giants script on the sleeve seems very redundant.Looks familiar...Why because you both used a team designed San Fransisco script in different colors? Nice try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappital92 Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 I do see where you get that idea, as both of our road jerseys have the script on them,and we both have black alts. However, I already finished the away and alt when you posted your concept. You also have gold and the same striping as the current. Still, sorry if there's any trouble. http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 The Giants script on the sleeve seems very redundant.Agreed. I think that going with the San Francisco script on the sleeve on the home and alt would work. Other than that, I do like this concept, especially the alt. If the Giants went with that as an alt, they'd finally get it right. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappital92 Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 I was going to put the SF on the home, but I thought that it would seem redundant with the SF on the hat. I like the idea of the San Francisco script on the home and alt, so I'm going to try that. http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfwabel Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 While your name is Cappital, I am not sure if many appreciate the script. The nameplate should be larger. The shoulderplate reminds me of who were living of those orange homes and that is not the greatest thing to remember. I believe if you don't have success with it, then you should not wear it.

BBTV Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Not sure why you consistently put your sleeve patches on the right sleeve, when 99.9% of teams in baseball history that have open left sleeves put their patches there.

I simply ment it looked familiar. I don't mean to say anyone copied or anything. We just had similar ideas and a similar concept. I have no problem with that. And it's not like our idea(s) are even all that new. I guess this means I'm not the only one who thinks the Giants should look a certain way. I apoligize if I caused any confusion or came off as rude. As for the concept, I obviously like it. If you really want to see what I would do different, just look at my concept. As others have said, the sleeve patch is a little redundant. That is why I used a different one. Great job here capp. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How silly did the Reds look when they put their number underneath the left side of their script? Why did it look dumb? Because that's just not how it's done.As for a real design-oriented reason, the best I can come up with is that your eye naturally moves from left to right. You don't want a little patch being the first thing that catches your eye and potentially detracting from the main script, which should be the focal point of the jersey. If there's something on the left side already, and something else goes on the right, I still think it looks weird, but at least it's balanced, making the main script the centerpiece.

Perhaps that is why the patch placement on the left arm.As for the concept, the Giant script on the home is redundant, and you are right on why not the use the SF. So why don't you create something unique? A Golden Gate Bridge type icon, or a skyline patch or even bring back the cable car number treatment from the '70's.

gueman Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I feel stupid for asking this, but does anyone have the logo on the front of this hat?That seems like something you should be able to copy/trace easy enough? What do you use to make your stuff? If you place a layer over top and take your time you should be able to copy it with ease. OR... you could just be creative and make your own unique logo.
