Kiltman Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Hey guys this is my first attempt at a design. I went with the eagles because they are my team. Please give me some feedback and suggestions to make it better. I took all suggestion & comments in and made some changes.A couple of notes,- I tried to use the Vermeil Era Uni's as a guide- The Pants are silver like the picture belowOk so here they are, click the link below each one if you want to see the larger picture.Home LargeAway LargeAlternate Large Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDGraphics Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I don't know that green seems kind of bright to me, I understand you said it would be saturated in real life, but man it is burning my eyes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakonius26 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I don't mind the shade of green you're using, but my main problem with the jerseys are that the green outline on the alternate jersey is way too thin. Plus, I think having the pants stripes be green/silver/black/silver/green would look a lot better than the style you used for this concept. By the way, with you putting an emphasis on black with the style of pants you've given them, it might be a better idea to incorporate a black trim to the numbers on both the home and away jerseys. When I say all this, it's not that it's bad, but it could be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicfurth Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 The simplicity of the jerseys really clashes with the pants and helmet, what with the shading and outlining. It strikes me similarly to how the 1994 NFL tried to combine throwbacks with current uniform elements. This concept tries to be both modern and classic, but falls pretty short in both respects.

Like I said before, there's much room for improvement, though your concept has a lot of potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was having trouble making shoulder stripes so I scraped them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(*) Ouch, well thanks for being brutally honest I guessRemember guys this is my first try at this so suggestions and tips are greatly appreciated.I still remember my first few concepts on hear way back in '04, and quite a few said they sucked (which they did). The main catch it that I used the criticism to get better. I don't trash concepts for the sake of trashing them or because I'm ticked off. I do it to help you (and others) improve.

PackerBadger Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Keep these last few jerseys in mind:The Eagles are really not about plain. And your concept is too plain IMO. (Particularly with one color pants, although silver > white.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Keep these last few jerseys in mind:[cut]The Eagles are really not about plain. And your concept is too plain IMO. (Particularly with one color pants, although silver > white.)Oh but in their past they have been. Anything prior to 1995 isn't really relevant when discussing what they're "about", since the current ownership doesn't really recognize much prior to that year.As others have said, this is two separate concepts mashed together. Pick a direction and revise. Will provide c+c once an update is posted.

Buster Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I'd lose the thick black on the wing and on the pants stripe, work with only green, silver and white. Other than the out-of-place black, the home and away look GREAT, better than their current downgrade from tradition.The alt looks bad to me. Forced black is bad.

Kiltman Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Ok guys I updated them, look back to the original PostEdit: I also made green pants, but didn't really like them, or at least not as much as I liked the white jersey w/ silver pants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakonius26 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Much better. It's a very nice update, and while I'm not sold at all on the green pants, look, the away uniforms is by far the best. By critiques would be to have the block numbers and lettering instead of the font you used. It's not bad, it just doesn't scream "Eagles" to me. Plus, without seeing how 0 through 9 would look on the concept, it's rather hard to envision how exactly Jackson, Celek, and Cole's jerseys would come out with what you used. You're almost there with this, so I'll be checking back to see any changes you decide to make. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I'd agree that the Away is best, which is good because the eagles have been wearing white at home until around mid-season the last couple of years. So you'd see it alot more.I chose the font because it's much sharper and more sleek then the first set I made.I made sure #10 looked good before I decided on the font. When I update I'll use a dbl digit number.My thoughts are that I should revisit the sleeve pattern on the home Jerseys, I think they would look better reversed. Hopefully I get a few more suggestions, because I'm not sure what else to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakonius26 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Truthfully, they might look better reversed. I think that the only real issue I still have with the stripes is that they're purely diagonal with no curve to them, so they would end up looking like an upside-down "V" if you did a side detail of this concept. Therefore, if you're trying to mimic the Vermeil Era jerseys, you might want to think about curving them into a slight arch. That way they match the colored portion of the sleeves better.
