Patchez Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I've been seeing this piece of the White Sox primary logo used on non-licensed items and I kinda like it!Here is how it looks on a concept batting practice cap. I don't like the current one with the primary outlined.What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgnmrwrw Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I like it. I wouldn't mind seeing the Good Guys wear that as an alternate cap, maybe on Sundays, with a new alternate uniform to go with it.

CDixonDesign Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I actually love it, the simplicity of it is great, the execution is done well, A+ in my book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatSleepJeep Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Wow, that is fantastic. Feel like putting an interlocking CS version together? That might well be a grand slam... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Nicknames shouldn't be used for cap monograms, only locations. The Oakland A's can be grandfathered in as an exception; modern cases like the Diamondbacks are design failures. If anything, the White Sox should be wearing a "C" for Chicago on their caps, considering the chest-thumping from team and fans alike about how they're "the true Chicago team" and so forth, but given their history of pretty much always wearing a SOX logo on their caps, I suppose they can keep skating by with the SOX cap. It sells well enough, why discontinue it. But this doesn't work for me. Because we're so used to it being part of the full logo, it looks odd and kind of inconsequential by itself. It is, after all, 1/3 of a logo. Using the isolated S makes me think:1. This is a farm team of the White Sox based in some city that starts with an S, like Scottsdale.2. This is what would've happened if the White Sox moved to Seattle. 3. This is another team altogether unrelated to the White Sox because blackletter on hats is pretty common in baseball. The embroidery looks great, though! Wow, that is fantastic. Feel like putting an interlocking CS version together? That might well be a grand slam... Seeing as their name is the Chicago White Sox, a "CS" would omit one third of their initials and more likely signify "Colorado Springs." That shouldn't be a "grand slam," but then again Comiskey has a lot of home runs that wouldn't be home runs anywhere else. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJBerthiaume Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I would buy that A's hat in less than a second. That is one of the most beautiful hats I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJaxon Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 The A's cap is really cool, but the 'A' is Iconic. It would be cool to see them with an alternate like this though. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that Chicago alternate logo, and the other two are just as beautiful. If you don't have any ideas for a Rockies alternate logo, I'd suggest looking into that "R" logo that pops up now and again. 2011 Colorado Rockies | Season from Hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatSleepJeep Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 These are great. i think there are a lot of teams that are doing themselves a diservice int he marketing department by not mixing up their BP hats. If you're in the mood, I'd be interested to see a Twins version with the T from their jersey wordmark. Another eligible team would be the B for Brewers, the B for the Orioles and the C for the Indians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliott Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Very nice presentation and I like your Oakland concept, even if it is a tad bit illegible, but the Mets hat is weak, taking a letter from their wordmark and using a flashy patch technique does not automatically make a concept, you need to do a little more. (obviously your patch thing is cool of course). Look at some of the more unique bp logos like the Astros with the texas background, or even look at some Giants fashion cap logos that feature the golden gate bridge, bp caps allow for a little more outside the box thinking, rather than simply a letter mark. So, for concepts where you might not really come up with any new lettering, like the Mets, attempt to bring in some city or nickname imagery, like a skyline for the mets, for example. Dribbble ...
