CS85 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Here's my first ever basketball concept. I decided to go with the Clippers, who's current uni set look weird and boring. I decided to try and save them from RWB while still keeping within the realm of their identity. The blue I went with is sort of a sky blue, the red I candied a bit. I ditched the clippers flying ball, instead going with a very basic looking C around a basketball. I'm still getting a handle on the pen tool so the ball came out kind of weird. Anyway, I tied in some fairly modern striping while keeping it pretty clean. Let me know if I'm cooking with gas or swung and missed.homeroad 1road 2 Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

DeFrank Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I love the set! I think if you made the red a little less pink it would be for the better. Also, the C in the secondary logo could be thicker. But great set overall! Nice work!4/5 concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs24 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I agree with DeFrank, The red seems a little bit off and the "C" in the secondary seems to me like you forgot to finish a border the ball. But all in all, I love this concept, nice job. UConn Huskies 2011 NCAA Men's Basketball Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameroncrazie07 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Yeah I agree with Habs24, it looks like you just forgot to finish a border with the C. Overall everything else looks cool though. I'd give it an 8/10. The Core 4 Sports Podcast Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 After giving it a second look the red was supposed to be more red, not pink lol but my laptop may have weird colors. I forgot about the Los Angeles on the roads. Thanks for the feedback everybody! Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 The Clips are definately a team that could pull off a sky blue look, and you've done a good job of executing here. Only criticism would be a stronger primary logo; maybe work a ship in there? The secondary is quite nice, very Chicago Cubs-ish, I would just make the C thicker or the ball smaller. Nice work overall. 8/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buster Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Love the blue, the design, but not the pink. Swap in red and this concept is a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjm Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 You didn't fix the biggest problem I have with their uniforms: the blue trim on their wordmark only goes around the outside and not the inside of the letters. It makes it look like a cheap patch that a child drew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AceHawk447 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 For colors, I'd pair the sky with a "Clippers claret."As for that "C-ball" secondary: I'm liking the idea, but I agree with previous posters about the "incomplete border." A full-on "border" for the ball would be thicker and two-toned, split via a continuation of two seams at about the 2:00 and 4:00 positions. The "C" portion would be claret, and the rest a lighter hue, like a silver. OR...how about having the balance of this "border" covered by a stylized sail?Love where the concept's going so far, CS85...do keep at it!

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 The concept looks too similar to what they have now for my taste... I'd like to see some actual clippers incorporated, kinda like what the Columbus Clippers of the MiLB have goin for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
