andrewharrington Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I think any Cubs roadie you do has to have a left chest logo or separate lettering like they have now. The blue script with the red number is too 'Dodgery.' I still don't have a website, but I have a dribbble now! http://dribbble.com/andyharry [The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent the position, strategy or opinions of adidas and/or its brands.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackerBadger Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Or, just dump the gray tops entirely. They won division titles in '84 and '89 with blue tops. I thin they won their NLDS clincher in 2003 (pre-Bartman) with the blue alts on in Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthpawJosh Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I could dig a powder blue road uni, if the logo is modernized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Only the '68 and '90 scripts are any good, and the '90 script was only good in theory. Lubalin Graph should be used across the board as the official Cubs font, however.What is this? This is crap. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmets Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I like this. It could actually work nicely in the Cubs scheme. But in all honesty, I'm fine with the Cubs current road jersey, but this works too. Although I don't like BgMack27's idea. That would be like both the Yankees and Mets going with the same NEW YORK script, except in different colours.This kinda happened...As far as the Cubs concept, I agree it would be weird, but that logo does look really sharp in Cubs colors.

Buster Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Nah, the W is wider on the Yanks and the Mets' O has squarer corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddball Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 The problem with this concept as a whole is, that the Cubs have their own identity and brand and want nothing to do with the White Sox. Part of making a good concept is actually thinking about it and using the noggin. To steal the look from the White Sox, is not good. To classify it as a "generic" Chicago look is not good. Why? Because it kills the brand. If you're going to do a script font, then do something original not a rip-off of another team that is in your city and each fan base hates the other. If you're going to change the uniforms, do something original, this goes down as another team recolor and wasting of site bandwith and knocking down the list more well thought out concepts.

I would love to give my visual input on this; in fact I have 3 concepts done (home, road, alt). Yet I don't want to piss anyone off here; those who do put creative and original work in. Mine is more of a cut-n-paste/recolor effort, as I am not a graphic designer (slightly dabble; need more education). Should I PM/email my concept to someone to clean up? Or should I just post it in this thread, as a conversation piece?*confused* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get the needed advice from there and not hijack someone else's thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I see it, I don't feel my thread has been hijacked as the poster put below. I'm not offended at all. I'm just a big sports fan, I have an interest in uniforms and logos, and I have zero graphic design experience. I still participate on here. I know some people think this should be an exclusive club for graphic designers, others think it's great for casual fans. Really this board is what you make of it, so go ahead and show your stuff. Just be prepared to have a few people be upset. It happens. You can't please everyone. In fact, go ahead and post it here in this thread. I don't mind one bit.
