dgnmrwrw Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Very nice concept, Sig. The raptor is expertly rendered, and I love the colors (look at how great those bright colors look! I've been waiting to see you do that!) and the slash marks on the jerseys and the caps (it's the kind of thing a minor league team could get away with, and it would be flashy and unique). If I absolutely had to pick something to quibble with, I'd say maybe tighten up the bones on the cap logo to make it a clearer "R", and maybe refine the bone-bat so that it looks a tiny bit more like a bat and less like a bone. But those are very minor nitpicks.Superb work, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJaxon Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 That is a sweet looking set. I love the hats with the slash marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undead Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Those jerseys and hats look real. I'd like to buy some please.I love the use of color. This team really needs an update and you're just the guy to do it. I'm happy to see your foray into baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I basically just have to echo dgnmrwrw's comments. The R out of bones is a great idea, but it's a little hard to see at first. Tighten the bones up a bit and it would be easier to read. Maybe get rid of the baseball in the middle too.I love the detail you put into your concepts, even going as far as to break the wordmark where the front of the jersey opens, and make it just a little bit askew to give it a realistic effect. Great stuff once again Sigma! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epper Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 these are freaking awesome. honestly, one of the best and most creative concepts i've ever seen on these boards. i actually like the way the bones are laid out to make the "R". It sorta looks like they're fossils unearthed that way, and they happen to form an R. love it. excellent work.my only concern is the blood dripping off the bone/bat. minor league identities usually have a lighter "tone", sort of geared towards families and children, so that might be a little disconcerting.

I know as a nipper there was nothing I liked more than Dinosaurs and the related goriness! It's done in such a way as to not appear overtly violent so I dont it's a real concern.I love the whole concept, expertly done, well thought out, and I had wondered if the R was supposed to look skull like with the placement of the "base-eye-ball". The caps are fantastic I'd buy one today if I could and I dont know the first thing about baseball! But they look that good I'd love to have one in my cap collection.My only criticism, in fact that way to harsh, my only comment is that the script suits Ogden more than it does Raptors. IMO it's not sharp or aggressive enough for the word Raptors, but it's perfect for Ogden so it's such a minor issue that I feel kinds petty even mentioning it.Excellent concept, and when you compare it to what they are currently using it might be worth pitching the idea to them as yours is far more maketable than their current logo which appears to be a geriatric, and very saggy/wrinkly godzilla clone!9erssteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epper Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 good point. i'm not saying to change it per say, just that it's a bit out of the ordinary for a minor league team (which i suppose isn't a bad thing)i agree with 9ersteve about the wordmarks. Perhaps you could add a few slash marks to some of the letters as if it was slashed by the raptor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whchoclte Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Love the work.My main gripe is the wordmark. Wish there was more of a tie in to the logo etc. Seems kind of plain compared to the rest. Especially in Baseball where the wordmark is the main focus of the uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only gripe is the tightness of the R, but that's nitpicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAO Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 You've outdone yourself again. Looks incredible. The Raptor is very nicely rendered, nice touch with the blood dripping from the bone. The secondary is great too. One thing you could definitely use is a script for Raptors and a script for Ogden--custom scripts. It's such a nice concept otherwise that just any typeface for the wordmarks doesn't do it justice. One thing is right, the MiLB probably wouldn't go for the blood drip, but that is a very minimal part of the concept. Why not work it into a Toronto Raptors concept? Just an idea.

sc49erfan15 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Fantastic work... very well-drawn.The only thing I can say is echo the comments about tightening up the "R" just a little, and maybe changing the font... it seems a little out of place.I would buy that hat with the "R" on it in a heartbeat... very nice!

ebonin Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I'm not going to lie, imo this may be the best concept I've ever seen on these boards. The raptor is rendered expertly and the secondary with the bones being both an 'R' and a dinosaur head is a stroke of genius. I agree with the guy who said they look like they were dug up that way. The color scheme is also exactly what they should use.I agree that maybe using a different font for the wordmark could be a good idea. I also agree that the blood dripping off the bat may be a little...riske? for minor league baseball.This is about a million times better than the boring look they have now. Excellent job.

RaiseTheBanner Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I would have never noticed it if you didn't say anything, but the "R"/screaming raptor skull logo is awesome and pure genious! Maybe move the bones in just a little bit closer, but it's okay as is. Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 The only thing I'll point out and I confirmed it, that the colors, might need to change. Why? Because you have Arizona Diamondback colors on a Dodger affiliate. I don't mind the colors and if they were an affiliate with the Diamondbacks, it'd work. I think why it's not working is that you are using a dull rust color with the tan and your tones are similar, and throw on top of that your black isn't a true black. It's a great concept. Have you tried to make an "r" with the middle claw? You could do that with a hint of red on the tip and maybe you could invert the tan and the red on the raptor and get another version of a strong concept.

DustDevil61 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I dig it. The R needs to better resemble, well, an "R." The bone could be made a little bigger at the end not held by the raptor, and, yes, the blood on the bone needs to go. Outside of that, really creative and different.

Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 dude that concept is sick. in comparisons to what they currently have, yours completely squashes it. that concept alone could make me an instant fan of that team. i'm not even going to nit pick it. very well done sir.

Puck Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Yes, the cap logo concept is amazing.EDIT: Because I had a "that's what she said" moment and it needed to be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
