Waffles Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Basically, I was in a grunge mood the other day after 90's Day on MTV2. After listening to Screaming Trees and Alice in Chains for a couple hours, I somehow got the strange idea that Seattle Grunge would be a funny name for a sports team. As I kept working, it became more and more serious and I eventually ended up with what you see above. I really had no expectations for the project other than expecting to get bored and toss it after awhile, so, if nothing else, I'm pleasantly surprised by how it turned out.

slapshot Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 the logo and template are good, but the color scheme doesn't fit the name very well. It's GRUNGE!. You should have more drab colors, like dark green/khaki, dark red, brown, black. Stuff that is dreary. Maybe incorporate some flannel plaid into it somewhere. Try mimicking the clothers of your logo...brown for the base of the jersey, dark khaki for the sleeves and shoulders.Maybe have uneven striping on the sleeves and bottom, not round...symbolizing disorder and sloppiness that the grunge movement was known for.play with the fonts a little. How would the "grunge" font look for numbers? Maybe you could use the Nirvana lettering (Bodoni Bold Condensed/Birch) for the lettering on the name. Really bring out the Seattle feel of everything.It's not a bad start, but try and "dirty" it up some more. Feel the grunge. Or, maybe you absorbed too much grunge on Saturday and you just want to not do anything and feel sorry for yourself all day long....j/k Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQK Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 What a great idea... for 1995 I think Kurt there needs a face. Other than that, i think it looks awesome. Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paynomind Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I dig it, but why not take it one step further.. make the jersey a plaid pattern, except for the front, where it looks like it is open to the white t underneath, with the logo.. truely what a 'grunge' type would have worn!

NJTank Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Well maybe you could use as a throwback jersey. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDunn Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 navy and that gold/khaki color on the white jersey look awesome together. Not really feeling the silver on the home.I agree with what others have said. You need more natural colors: Olive Drab Green, whatever khaki color you have, the brown of the guy's T-shirt. Dirty urban grunge colors. Muted colors.Logo is cool, but Kurt does need more facial features. Gotta love the KC rememberance patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zer0dotcom Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 nice, I like it. I think grunge, and those colours are there. for grundge, the design maybe shouldn't be so advanced, more basic.that aside, very cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbman21 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Man I saw this post and it was sooo weird!Back in 1994,my ssenior year of high school,I ran a fantasy football league with all my friends and my oldest nephews team was the Seattle Grunge!I saw that and flipped because at first I thought there was an actual team coming out with that name.I did all the logos and unis for that league and they were pre-Nike Miami Hurricanes.Wore white at home with orange pants and 'Grunge' in an odd font on the white helmet.One day I'll put all the logos and unis on here and get your thoughts on them.Anyway as far as my thoughts on the uni I really like the colors and logo.I was into the whole grunge phase so those colors dont seem too far off for me.Now if they just made combat boot-style skates!!

the_cynic Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Definitely a good start, I think the guy within the logo needs some work done. Why not just use a photo of Kurt Cobain?

winters in buffalo Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I like it. The only change I'd make is switching out the silver for the brown from the logo. The face is fine... I think it's better without detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
