Los Angeles Angels

[Lights Out]

The Angels have a great logo and identity now, but the color scheme is horrid - red-on-red is not exactly pleasant on the eyes, and the other uniforms look boring. I felt the old Disney color scheme was much more balanced and also looked more angelic. However, I used a different, darker shade of red than the Angels used during the late '90s. I also removed the bevel effect from the script and cap logo. I felt a powder blue road uniform made sense here because of the color scheme. The periwinkle blue alternate features the cap logo in lieu of the script, but I chose to imitate the number placement that Miami uses on their white vests, as this number placement isn't currently used in the majors and I think it looks unique. The hat features the cap logo, and also the return of the halo that the Angels wore during their first few years of existence.

BTW, those things near the collar on the home and road are the wings from the Angels' late 60's to early 70's logo. I felt that they could pull off shoulder wings just as well as Oregon football does.

Comments?

I like the light blue trim instead of dark blue. Looks sharp. But the wings on the shoulders have got to go.

I'm not sure how I feel about the light blue alt. And I'm not crazy about the light blue cap brim, but that's just me.

The wings look too close to the 70s White Sox abominations. Also, the periwinkle is just way too light to be a primary color with red, especially with the now bevel-less cap logo getting lost at distance.

Shouldn't the wings be, ya know, on the players' backs?

^ I was trying to imitate how Oregon's football team has wings on the shoulders:

Hence why they're there and not on the back.

I might just get rid of the wings when I revise the concept.

A quick word of advice. When looking for design ideas, avoid referencing the Oregon Ducks. Consistently the worst uniforms in sports.

A complete mishmash of bad ideas giftwrapped in an incoherent color scheme and duct-tape numbers.

I also think the wings should go on the back. Try having them flank the back jersey number. The shoulders work for the Ducks because of the way a duck is put together. An angel, on the other hand, has mostly human anatomy, so you need to reference that.

The baseball uniform is not a football jersey that is why the wings don't work. I do have a few suggestions, one would be to move the wings to the sleeves in the form of a patch. Another would be to perhaps move them to the back shoulders around the name plate. I am not a fan of the baby blue. I didn't like it then and I don't like it now. Maybe a good option would be to use old gold in the halo and increase its use in the rest of the uni. NOW I do like the reintroduction of the halo on the hats. I always loved that look from the past.

Try #2 on the wings:

Thoughts?

That's a lot better, works well, and I personally like it

[brosephb26]

I agree much better

[aci]

That actually looks really good.

[bigmike]

The wings look great on the back, nice update.

[bohob]

They look much better on the back. Is there a way to not necessarily overlap them with the numbers? It looks a little weird on the 7 right now.

[ThePreacher]

I give you an "A" for creativity.

I think the wings are too gimicky, however. I do agree that the red is played-out, and the only reason the Anaheim Angels use it is because Phoenix Arte Moreno of Tuscon has Los Angeles penis envy and a massive inferiority complex to the Dodgers, and thus wants to be "LA's" (see: Orange County's) "RED" team.

I do like the "halo" on the cap concept. It's one of those classic, unique ideas used by MLB teams such as this: and this:

My favorite Angels set was probably their most "streamlined" set, (the mid 1990's California Angels dark blue and red set), but I also LOVED the short-loved lower case "A":

Keep up the good work! The wings gotta go though.

[Still MIGHTY]

Minus the wings and the light blue bill, I'd totally accept this.

The light blue is a great complement to the red and the gold halo. Love the gold halo.

Take off the wings and make the hat all red, then I would call it perfect.

Updates:

The hat is all red now, and the wings are removed. I changed back to the old Anaheim script on the roads but added an Angels-style "LA" patch to the sleeves to pay tribute to their other host city.

[north dakota]

I like the halo on their cap.

Any more thoughts?

[brosephb26]

can I see what you would do with a Red Jersey Alternate ??
