rcb05 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Another issue with using this type of jersey in real life is that longer last names will not fit in the space allotted for the nameplate, and you'd end up with white letters on a white background and vice versa.

TornadoGTS Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 You need to flip the numbers on the front view, as in put the 8 where the 1 is and vice versa.

Instead, the two groups learned to assimilate peacefully. However, certain tribes of the leprechaun refused to taint the pure blood and moved north into the forests of Ireland, only to be seen rarely, usually at the same time of a rainbows appearance and occasionally at the factories of Lucky Charms.

Lights Out Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 Shoulder numbers fixed, and I now have a demonstration of what would happen with long names. Yes, I realize Jarrod Saltalamacchia does not play hockey, but I wanted a really long name. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoGTS Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Shoulder numbers fixed,Not quite, now you gotta rotate the 1 on the front view 90 degrees lol. The front view and back view should look exactly the same when it comes to the shoulder numbers.

The_Admiral Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Interesting concept. Where did you get the font from the 1967 logo (or one close to it)? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 It's a font called Futura Display, readily available from MyFonts. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Very nice update Though I would suggest thickening the sleeve stripes a bit. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bohob Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Nice. It looks like the Leafs and Stars had a baby, and in a good way. I'm not fond of the sleeve stripes, as they are too classic for this modern concept. I like adding blue to the sleeves of the blue jersey and vice versa, but there has to be a better way than the stripes. Overall, it's quite good.

rbripley Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Updates:Contrasting colors have been added to the end of the sleeves, the "1"s on the shoulders are fixed, and the emblem has been reduced in size.Congratulations on this update - it's wonderful! You managed to walk such a fine line by bringing a very modern sensibility to the uniform without falling down the rabbit hole of using lots of new elements simply because they are at your disposal. Personally, I liked it without the stripes (though I understand about potential confusion) because it let my eye focus on the most exciting element - the leaf outline - without distraction.Very inspiring to someone relatively new to all of this (me!).

Lights Out Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 Thanks! The more I look at it though, the more I like the classic stripes on there. I'm no hockey fan, but I'm assuming the prevailing opinion in the fandom is that it just ain't the Maple Leafs without those stripes. I guess it's a nice way of ceding to tradition a little bit and keeping a recognizable link to the past. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
