Hoopskid Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I've always thought that a well executed silver / gray uniform could look really sharp (think Nets alternate, not Mavs).This Spurs uniform attempts to add some diversity to the Spurs black and white uniforms that they now have. Classic style font colored black and a modern twist of the classical triangle shorts are an attempt to combine the Spurs old days with new modern Adidas Rev30 times.The new secondary logo was something quick I whipped up using their old secondary and the alamo shape. Tried to make the logo realistic using shiny fabric.C & C welcome, let me know what you think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgesL Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 You're on the right track. I would just use the current template they have now, but invert the colours to the silver you just posted. I would also use the "SAN ANTONIO" on the road jerseys, and put "SPURS" on the silver ones. But I suppose either wordmarks can work. They look great so far, but there is room for improvement.

Drakonius26 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Actually, I like this concept a lot, and it would go well with their current set, instead of the time they wore those silver disasters back in the mid 2000's (haven't seen them wear that uniform for a while now). Everything seems to flow well, and I'm assuming that the grayish color above the Alamo logo you designed probably more reflective than the silver you used for the rest of the jersey, am I right?

Hoopskid Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Yes, the silver is designed to be more reflective.Thanks for the comments thus far... I might redesign the current home and road, but I feel like they're pretty solid uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like you have a silloutte of just the very top, which, by itself isn't that recognizable. I think you need to have a little more of the Alamo in that logo.

loogodude90 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I'm all for the SAS (re-)getting a silver alternate.I love the alternate logo and its placement.Where's the font coming from? Is that actually from an old jersey they used to wear? If not, I would consider keeping their current wordmark.Also, I'm not sure about how I feel about the side panels on the shorts. It looks like they are trying to copy the Bulls. Or is that design actually from an old Spurs set? WIZARDS ORIOLES CAPITALS RAVENS UNITED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's funny is people see the black on black lettering today and see it as some sort of urban/modern stylistic element, but it's roots go all the way back to the Spurs in the 70s. For that reason, I think the spurs should return to this and make it their signature element. I mean, they were 30-40 years ahead of the curve.

Drakonius26 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I agree they were beautiful, and they used to have the same number font as was used in this concept, while "San Antonio" was in a more traditional block format, during their days in the ABA. Interestingly enough, once they joined the NBA the number font became more traditional block too, to match the "San Antonio" wordmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HisAirness24 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 If the Spurs were to get an alternate, THIS is what it should look like. Nice work there man. It pays homage to the retro unis and also gives off the modern vibe with that V-like collar. Also like the creativity on the secondary. Not sure if this would come out right, but if you could somehow maybe keep the alamo and work the surrounding area to spell out "SA" or create a basketball or something in there it could really stand out nicely, since the Spurs primary/partial doesn't have a basketball anywhere on the logo. But I'm liking the whole thing and it's definitely one San Anton should consider adopting sometime soon. 16 NBA Titles1949, 1950, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1972, 1980, 1982, 1985, 1987, 1988, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopskid Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 Thanks for the comments guys. I'm still working on a couple things, it's funny you should mention the logo HisAirness 24 because I've been told that before and have already started working on a couple things.Thoughts?

Conrad. Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I'm really liking the far-right version...Maybe include a thicker round stroke line above the ball so it seems like part of the building as opposed to sitting in front of it now. Also, try a version with a frontal-view of the bball lines so you don't have the really small sections of the ball to embroider.

Conrad. Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 yeah i like that better...the front-facing bball also adds more of the "retro" look to it. nicely done, sir. Red Goat Creations :: Graphic Design Solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HisAirness24 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Like the update and also like your first one there. The SA interlocking logo is also well-done. Either of them would work for me, good stuff. 16 NBA Titles1949, 1950, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1972, 1980, 1982, 1985, 1987, 1988, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakonius26 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Something more like this...?Nice logo. I also like the "SA" one too, but it seems a little more fitting for a baseball team than the Spurs. Also, why did you choose the year 1976? They were moved and first established in San Antonio, back in 1973. I'm going to assume you're going with the theme that the Spurs were really established after the merger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopskid Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Thanks guys... yeah I chose '76 because that's when they became part of the NBA. I suppose I could have done 1973 as well, but that could be changed easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
