BBTV Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 1. The wordmarks are really good, that's a nice font to use - westerny, without the cliche western "spikes"2. I don't like how the wordmark on the home jersey has a white and then a silver outline, but the numbers don't have any outline, and the NOB has a white outline. Either give everything the same outlines (well maybe not the NOB, but def. the numbers), OR... 3. I think the numbers on the home look nice with no outline, so maybe you could strip all of the outlines from the wordmark, and put it over top of silver pinstripes, so the purple would really jump out despite no extra trim. I think it'd be a nice traditional look.4. The purple on the road appears to be much lighter than on the home. They should be standardized. If the lighter is chosen, then def need white outlines. If the darker is chosen, then suggestion #3 holds for the roads too (sans pinstripes, of course.)5. I really think that "logo" caps are a bad idea, and especially with this uniform. Monogram would be the way to go. The secondary and "cap" logos aren't very strong IMO, but I don't have too many good suggestions for you on these, so I'm not going to harp on it. 6. Arch the NOBs.

The_Admiral Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Funny, I've thought the same thing about the Reds' font being better suited to the Rockies and letting the Reds just use plain old sports numbers like the plain old sports team they are.Love the wordmarks, but you could use some outlines on the numbers and NOBs so they stand out enough. If you're outlining the wordmarks on the front, don't forget the back. The primary can be a big upgrade from what they have now, which looks dated and tired, but I hate that I read it as "Rockies Colorado," which compromises the allusion to the section of the mountain range referred to as "the Colorado Rockies." Aw hell, they ought to be the Denver Rockies anyway. But yeah, I really like what you did here. They really should play up the purple, since they have it all to themselves.These defiantly have potential...Great Job!They won't take no for an answer!EDIT: oh and I agree with everything BBTV said above. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotsinriotgear Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 To be honest I think your concept/design is perhaps better suited for a Minor League team then a pro team, but it's still an AWESOME design! I love the caps especially! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJaxon Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I think it looks great. I agree that the numbers need outlines and you should probably tone down the outlines a bit on the wordmarks for the home uniform, but it looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Settle down everybody. I honestly meeant that I like his logo. I linked my original one to show that it is a good idea, as it has been done before. I'm sure I wasn't the first to do it. I apoligize if it came off as if he copied it or anything.Bull. If that's what you meant, you would've said it. Instead, you were bitchy and curt about it. Don't try to say you weren't.He does it on every thread where someone has a similar idea as he did. And nothing against you bmac, but it comes off in a pissy way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamSoda Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Ugh... No thanks, their current set is much, much better.Way too cartoony and belongs to a Single A team, not a MLB team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenfish13 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Once again, brilliant c and c from CreamSoda. As to the concept, I really like it, and I actually love the secondary, great work on this. dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gueman Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I like what you are trying to do and I think the Primary and the secondary are upgrades. I don't like the ball and the peaked C logos. The Ball looks "sad" perhaps shift the stitching pattern. The peak on the C looks tacked on. The stroke on the home sets is way to heavy, if you have gone that far you should make a chest bar like the mid 80's White Sox. I also think the numbers need an outline. But hey you have done a good job and the Rockies have one of the worst sets in baseball. Very boring very uninspired. They look like sales men samples from a catalog only with out saying "Team" and "Location". Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. P. J.

I really like the current set for the Rockies and I would need to be blown by anything new.I said it looks like a minor league team because they tend to have more cartoony fonts and logos, like your concept does.MLB teams have more simple, classic looking identities.

chestnutz Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 UPDATE TIMEWhat I changed:-New cap logo, got rid of the peak and just have a plain C now.-Took bohob's advice and focused on the dark purple more for the uniforms.-Got rid of Colorado flag on home uniform, now uses secondary logo.-HOME: Dark purple with light purple brim cap and now use just C logo, silver pinstripes now (makes purple pop), outlined the numbers and name with silver, got rid of the outermost outline on the wordmark.-Made all NOBs vertically arched.-AWAY: Dark purple numbers and names now, and white outline, all-dark cap-HOME ALT: same number and name treatment as home, used the away all-dark cap as well, and dark purple shirt underneath instead of light.-AWAY ALT: used the original home cap, with the secondary ball/mountain logo on the cap instead of the C, got rid of outermost outline on wordmark, and made light purple outlines on name and numberHopefully it's much better now! erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJaxon Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Have you tried doing a modified 'CR' logo using that font? It might be tricky but I bet it would look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
