knnhrvy16 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 ...And with those apparent changes, ASU's identity seems to have tanked. Of course I haven't seen it yet (hence why I'm using "apparent" and "seems"), but none of this sounds good. Not sure I like the sound of the pitchfork (I'd have much rather preferred Sparky staying), and matte black helmets? Black jerseys? Seriously? Do they know where the hell Tempe is?? I'll reserve final judgement for when I see it, but I don't like the sound of this at all. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvarnsen Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I like what ASU has done with the pitchfork, it is fairly tribal looking. The new Nike font, meh. Evidently, Sparky is getting an update, as well, a more muscular version to be rolled out on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeaks4 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I am a little bit excited but mostly worried about these changes. It will be really weird to see a different Sparky so I just hope they don't do any dramatic changes to him. I have always loved the pitchfork but am worried about how it will end up looking on the helmet. Please don't mess this up Nike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeauxColonels Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I'm anxious to see the changes. I like the idea of a FSU-style pitchfork helmet...but I hate that it would be at the expense of Sparky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-(dp)- Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Here are a couple ideas I was messing with a looooong time ago, and never really finished, but thought I could post them here. I made a custom typeface for the numbers (well, a custom 6 at least, never got around to the rest...) One of them used the pitchfork helmet, and both ideas used the pitchfork as a design element. On the right is an attempt at visualizing the description given to us here, except with my number font, which is probably not at all similar to what they will go with.

Really like your custom typeface...you've got to develop the rest of it. I really like the pants you've created as well. Still great to see Sparky on a helmet (at least for an extra day or two). Solid work on this.

kelvarnsen Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 dp Your concept on the right isn't far off, the shoulder stripe is about right. "ASU" is in place of a number on the sleeve in their new Nike font (which by the way was used in banners inside the basketball arena all season, so it has essentially been leaked). The new pitchfork is far more detailed and is outlined. It almost sits on the helmet horizontally, pointing somewhat down towards the eyes (probably a poor explanation on my part). There are like flames coming out of the base of the fork. It is like pitchfork meets FSU Seminole spear. I believe the number outlines are black. It says "Arizona State" in small letters in new font about the number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
