BrandMooreArt Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Not a fan of blending modern elements like a custom number font and collar wordmark with traditional elements like sleeve stripes. Also not a fan of forcing sleeve stripes onto sleeveless templates. Maybe try to work the strips into a band that wraps around the shoulder like the Panthers?its not a sleeveless template. sleeve stripes work fine here, although your idea still could look good.It is a sleeveless template (just like the one used on field) - the "sleeves", are really just arm cuffs that come out of the side of the torso - there's no "hanging" sleeve. Stripes don't work fine, because they're truncated. If they can't go all the way around, then they're not really "stripes" - more like a sleeve-logo that just happens to consist of three stripes.that really doesn't make sense to me, but okay. If you don't want to call them "stripes", then lets come up with another word for them. Either way, they work.agreed. and i think the modern jerseys actually look better. they're not sloppy, big sleeved, messes GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Looks pretty good. The only problem I have with it is that it looks too much like Ohio State's uniforms.And that's a problem because? Seriously, looks great. I agree with adding a another color like yellow if you wanted but it's right on the money in either case. Huge upgrade from their current clown suits.

TruColor Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Use navy. Their best uniforms used navy...that looks like black to meThat is Roy Green and it WAS navy blue. I remember seeing these uniforms in action when they were in the NFC East. They did have black most years, but a few seasons, they did have navy.No, no, no, no.Black. Only Black. The only time any kind of a shade of Blue was ever used was between 1996 and 2004 when there was a tiny bit of striping on the White jerseys (and socks).

These, like the Steelers' "stripes", just start and stop at a seam - so it's like having a square logo patch that consists of a few stripes. If we were designing uniforms today, without any knowledge of how things were 50 years ago, would anyone think to force half-stripes onto that template? Highly doubtful.

I remember it being a bit of a brighter blue, almost like the "canyon blue" Southwest Airlines uses (for their employee uniforms, no necessarily the purplish hue of their planes). I think that blue comes from AZ's state flag.You happen to have one of those handy-dandy color swatch thingamajigs showing whatever kind of blue they were using then (or any other blue they may have used)?

tBBP Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 That's about what I remember.I just remember a lot of the coaches' sideline gear having blue trim in it (an image that really sticks out in one's mind when that sideline gear is stretched out over the mass that is Dennis Green). I sorta remember it with Dave McGinnis, as well.Thanks for showing those swatches, man.(Also...any particular reason why they chose to utilize that? AZ flag, maybe, since it already also has the red and yellow?) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJM Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Great work on this, but Im a fan of their currents. The shoulder stripes give me too much of an Ohio State or 49ers vibe.

(were you the grey facemask guy too?)Yeah, I'm that guy.You're right - this is totally subjective, so everyone is going to like something different. I'm not sure, though, how anyone can say that what the Steelers have looks good. If they were a brand new team with no history of stripes, I'm not sure that anyone would be loving their implementation of the stripes.

dcameronh Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Use navy. Their best uniforms used navy...that looks like black to meThat is Roy Green and it WAS navy blue. I remember seeing these uniforms in action when they were in the NFC East. They did have black most years, but a few seasons, they did have navy.Yes it was navy blue and it comes from the Arizona state flag which is red, yellow and navy blue with a gold star. They had it on their road jersey sleeves for a number of years. http://www.sportslogos.net/team.php?id=177I think they should get rid of black all together and go with a dark navy blue where all the black is, even in the cardinal head logo, and add some more yellow into the uniforms as well.As for this concept, I do really like it. I don't mind what they have now but I do like what you did. Although I would try to add blue instead of black and some yellow into the uni just to see what if it works. Overall, nice work!
