Basic baseball concept

[Kevin W.]

This is a similar idea to my hockey concept that I posted a while back, in that it's for a prospective fantasy team. In this case, it's for fantasy college baseball. Since (if and when the league starts) it's likely to be converted over to a better template by someone else, please ignore the fact that it's on such a basic template and critique the uniforms themselves.

The university is the University of California, Oceanside Admirals. The colors are ocean boat blue, federal blue and sand. To answer your questions before you ask, yes I did deliberately take some cues from the Padres. It seemed logical after Jahgee gave me such a solid color scheme.

As you can see, there are two alternates for home and road each.

Critique away!

The concept isn't bad, it's supposed to be basic, but the template hurts my eyes.

[Guest]

Well, I have to make do with what I've got and what I've got is Paint.

[Jahgee]

Try moving them to these

And thanks for the color scheme credit, I appreciate it.

[Guest]

It's not about the template. You can clearly see the design details even on the limited template I used. I want critiques of the design itself.

[Jahgee]

The Ocean Blue makes the Federal Blue look purple, I would add sand between the two blues.

[GeauxColonels]

I would do away with the vests...especially the "Ocean Blue" one.

It's really hard to see small details with this template, don't use paint as an excuse because far better paint templates exist, also inkscape. And make an effort to finish your concepts at least a little more before posting, the least you could do would be to add numbers, nameplate, and some type of cap logo.

The logos are being worked on and I called it a "basic concept" for a reason. This is just to establish a baseline. I want an opinion of the overall design. The little details can be added later, but I want to know if I'm moving in the right direction first.

Ok, screw it, I'm not going to learn Inkscape unless I try. Here's my first effort at learning by doing:

I don't know how to do stripes, so the sleeve/collar stripes, the pinstripes on the home uniforms and the sock stripes will have to wait.

[johnrafael]

try invert the blue tones in 2nd kit.

[Guest]

Once again, excuse the lack of striping/logos.

[johnrafael]

Kevin, Just an Idea.

(Jersey/Pants)

Home: White/White (OK)

Road: Sand/Federal Blue

Alternate 1: Vest Federal Blue with undershirt Ocean Blue/ White or Sand

Alternate 2: Ocean Blue With Federal Blue Pinstripes/ Federal Blue

[Guest]

Ok, I'm having some trouble with the pinstripe template, so for now the plain white will have to do.

[Guest]

Bump.

[johnrafael]

you really need logos.

I'm finding that the lighter blue kinda looks like crap with the sand colour. The dark blue works with the sand and the light blue well separately, but I think you're going to have to go with one or the other.

[Jahgee]

Kevin, why don't you show the uniforms that I sent you by EMail?

[Guest]

I didn't get any emails from you.

[Guest]

You know what, I'm not liking the ocean boat blue vest anymore, so I decided to go in a different direction.
