Gothamite Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I agree. I flat-out loved his story, but am losing lots of respect for him now. The Ottawa alternate sweater was handled with loads of class, but it's appearing now that it was entirely due to the Senators. Both he and Icethetics are looking pretty bush-league at this point.

Gothamite Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Yeah, Chris has done himself a great disservice. He took perfectly reasonable (and in most cases very constructive) criticism, and responded with personal attacks and name-calling.Very bad form. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

Point1 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Chris has always been pretty demanding and arrogant. He is incapable of taking criticism, no matter how reasonable and logical it is.The designer is second rate all the way. His original jersey concept wasn't even good or creative, and his photoshop abilities and dumb luck in the concept getting noticed are the only reason that he was allowed anywhere near an official professional jersey design. That Jets logo is brutal and violates basic design rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling84 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I wrote a whole big thing earlier. Got frustrated. Deleted it.Let me just put it this way. The discussion, with respect, should not focus on whether the concept is good or not. That's irrelevant.The discussion should focus on "Is this the way to go about it or not?"The answer in my view is an unequivocal "NO".

Morgan33 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Wow after seeing all this criticism I feel kind of bad for bringing this up. While I still do not like the original Senators concept, I didn't think this Jets one was terrible by any means. Underwhelming? Yes. Terrible? Nah... it's a competent update on the Jets 96 look.

Gothamite Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 His design is not terrible, it's just not very good. It's not worth the days of buildup and hype Chris put into it, nor the lengthy manifesto the designer posted about the philosophy behind the design, both of which appear to have taken much more time and effort than the concept itself. Nor is it worth trying to start some sort of massive fan campaign to pressure the Jets into adopting it, even setting aside the fact that it breaks all the rules the Jets set for themselves with this new team. And it's certainly not worth calling people who point that all out "whiners". The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw11333 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 lol that Jets jersey and logo are awful. If True North wanted them to look more like the old Jets, that is the way they would have been designed. They wanted this Jets team to have its own identity. The logo is lazy, and he just used the same jersey template as the first Jets. The fact that this guy calls himself a graphic designer is embarrassing.

nash61 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I usually have nothing but praise for Icethetics, but this has gone on long enough. I would, however like to see GFB get some love for his QC Mallards jersey. It may not be the NHL, but when the look for a professional hockey team is designed by "one of us", that deserves some recognition.

IceCap Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Terrible? Nah... it's a competent update on the Jets 96 look.I disagree. In no way do I see this as an update of the '96 look. The old logo wasn't fantastic, but it was better than this. This is just dull, amurture. Which isn't a problem in and of itself. Sometimes you just post a sub-par concept. I only have a problem when Icethetics hypes it and the designer up while the designer goes on to try and preassure the team to adopt it. This whole thing is a perfect example of why you should never buy into your own hype.

CubsFanBudMan Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Well that was underwhelming. I wouldn't expect a call from True North.I mean if that's the direction the team wants to go in they'll just use the straightup throwbacks.This was my reaction. The Jets went a different direction and are barely a month into using it. Any call for a look like this will likely be ignored, or solved with throwback nights.
