random design

[swazzy]

well, i made up a fake football team (Hackensack River Crabs) and made up a quick draft logo/uni's. i did everything kinda fast, used paint, and didn't do much technical:

the helmet is kind of a knock off of princeton/michigan

I really like the helmet and basic jersey design. However, i think that there should be an outline around the numbers, you should narrow down the colors to 3 or 4, and on the wordmark use one color for the letters and an outline.

Firstly, welcome! *wavy icon that I can't find*

Here's what I like...

-- The helmet design. It's very intuitive and it works, if not a tad reminiscent of Michigan a bit.

-- The basic jersey design.

-- The cuff striping. It makes accentuates the jersey nicely and makes the colors pop, especially on the blue jersey. Nice job.

Here's what needs to be improved:

-- The color situation. I love the combo of teal, red, and cream. But that should be it. Make the pants colored teal, red, or cream. Or, if you want to keep gray or white, then keep them and drop one of your other colors. As Hettinger said, you should keep your colors to three, four tops, and rework your logo and wordmark around that philosophy.

-- The numbers and text. I know you're new to this, so I'll be gentle on this bit. Never. Never. NEVER. Use Times New Roman on anything. That font belongs in books, not as wordmarks and certainly not on uniforms. If you have trouble finding a font, then find a font site -- I recommend 1001fonts.com -- and find a font that accentuates your wordmark and fits in with the identity as a whole. It takes a little bit of tweaking, but you can find something that you'll like. Also, it's a good idea to use dark numbers on light backgrounds.

-- The pants striping. See if you can move it up a bit. They should be leg stripes, not butt stripes.

Overall, this has a lot of potential, and if you make those tweaks, you'll have something that will look really, really good.

I do like it, mainly because I am from Hackensack (I am assuming it is the NJ one not the one in Minnesota), but I would make all the letters in the word mark the same color, because as it is now its a little difficult to read.

thanks to everyone who commented, and barrish, it's not Times New Roman but a similar font (i understand why it doesn't work). will try to make a few tweaks
