1990hornet Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Now I've always liked the Current home Yankees uni but it's gotten stale IMO over the 70 some odd years in use. I only wanted to tweak it, so let me know what you think:No name on back:Name on back: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aci Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Before I say anything else: I'm fine with people changing things up with the Yankees. No jersey is untouchable when it comes to a concept, and anyone who says otherwise is completely missing the point.You have a solid (but not exactly original or unique) idea here, but you would certainly need to bolden the wordmark for this to work. As it is now, it gets lost in the pinstripes a little. Hamilton Eagles- 2012 and 2013 Continental Hockey League Champions! 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 & 2015 CHL East Division Champions!

oddball Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 The only issue I have with this is that the "Yankees" is way too thin. As far as what program you used, it doesn't matter, it looks clean and professional. Don't let anyone tell you what program to use, because that's pure b.s. and this is coming from a graphic designer. In the end if you don't tell them, then they won't know and really, they don't need to know. If a person is going to slam you because of the use of the program, they are just snobs who don't know anything and probably have no talent. Do the job and do it well, and that's really all I want and want to see. I would rather see a good, clean job like yours done in paint, then a crappy job done in illustrator or photoshop.

lancebridwell Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 You used paint? Wow, did you do a good job on that! I could never get it that good looking on Paint! That is why I use Photoshop. But anyways, that is a nice simple jersey that actually could be realistic. Nice work! I don't think, because thinking implies uncertainty. Therefore, I KNOW.

aci Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 The only way I can think of to thicken it up using Paint is to draw it by hand. It will take ages, but it does work. Barely. I'm a Paint user, and I'm done that on occasion to clean up logos and make minor changes to them.

LEWJ Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 As long as your just making uniform concepts, paint it fine.Practice makes perfect.I've used paint for all my concepts, and I don't think they're too bad.While using Photoshop, Inkscape, or Illustrator is nice, it's not always necessary.Now if you're making logos [which I still have yet to do] it's a whole 'nother story. |Â BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANSÂ | Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly recommend it if you want a step up from Paint without having to purchase or learn a new program. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gueman Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I would arch the wordmark as well. I think it looks awkward when it is straight across.

jkrdevil Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Not really an original idea, I used to have a jersey that looked just like that. However, for what I am assuming is probably one of your first concepts it is well executed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Actually, I think that the home uniforms they have now is fine as is.I think your concept would work better as a road uniform, personally. One thing that irks me about the Yankees' current road uniforms in that in addition to lacking pinstripes, it also uses "NEW YORK" in a block typeface that isn't seen anywhere else. I've always felt that "NEW YORK" should be rendered in the flowing script they already have, or be replaced by "Yankees" in the flowing script you've demonstrated.Also, the Yankees not putting the player's names on the back of their jerseys is a practice that I think they should keep going. Names on jerseys weren't really a popular thing to do until about the 1960s, and the Yankees have remained very tradition by never adopting the trend.
