sonny Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I really like the look but am getting a Charlotte Knights minor league vibe from the colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 I'm bringing this back up to the forefront in order to solicit for any more feedback I can get, to see where I am with this and to see how much else I can use for any future baseball concepts I may come up with--still trying to get a feel for what works and what doesn't. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I realize I'm way after the fact, but here's a few notes:First, I'm a huge Rox fan, so all of this is through the fan filter, whether I meant it to be or not.1. The font choice is great, though the bookending capitals looks a little weird on Colorado. 2. Purple: YES. Anyone that wants to drain the purple from the Rockies is nuts. I understand that people sometimes just don't like the color, but the Rox are the ONLY team with purple in a league of red and blue.3. Green: Yes. It complements the purple well and it gets away from I'd like to see it as a darker, slightly more muted green, but it's essentially already a team color because of Coors Field merchandise featuring it heavily alongside team branding. Adding green is a good way of dumping the black and silver, which can get a bit muddled, without adding a color that does not go with purple (light blue, I'm looking at you). However, I would like to see a version of this with Vegas Gold in instead of the green. It makes sense both conceptually and visually. 4. Cap logo: Meh. It fits within the league and it doesn't look bad, but it just doesn't immediately say "Rockies." Either does the current cap logo, but still. I realize that it's hard to fit a logo that makes sense, says "Rockies," and looks professional into the space on a ballcap...but there has to be a way.

tBBP Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 **NEARLY A WHOLE YEAR LATER...A FRESH UPDATE.**Smh......Anyway, the other day I went back into my computer and decided to finish off this update that I started over a month ago, when I was in Colorado. This time, rather than stick with the pine green that many felt made the previous concept set too similar to the old Diamondbacks, I went with a nice ice blue color to bounce off the purple. In addition, I don't remember who it was that said it (I think it was Cujo), but the one thing the Rockies have done over the years is maintain a consistent visual identity, so I gotta respect that. To that end, the placket piping goes bye-bye, so do the primary home and away vests...and the pinstripes return, in keeping with the "tradition" of the Rockies' uniforms since their inception. I did, however, keep a vested alternate home jersey, since the Rox also have a thing for vests—but with the alt logo on the chest, just to try something different and unique. (Much less noticeable is that I edited the shade of purple justasmidge. ------------------------------------------------------------------Also, just for sheets and geegles and just to satisfy my own curiosity, I also drafted a version with plum in place of purple (edit: dang—say that five times fast)... There's your near-year-later update. ~Buc *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Definitely the purple & sky blue... perfect combo for a team called the Rockies. Although I'm still not sure the Rocks really need a color other than purple. Especially since the D'Backs no longer use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I really like that, Buc. My one complaint is that the mountain by itself looks awkward on the alternate vest. I also think you could do without the baseball and speed lines altogether on the primary logo. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEANS Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I love both sets now, I lean a bit towards the plum set maybe just because it is so different for the MLB. However the Purple/Sky Blue set is equally a winner.I still think the small serifs in "Colorado" within the primary need to go, and make the laces on the ball more stylized and not as thin. https://www.andrewsterlachini.com/ or http://dribbble.com/MEANS1974 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Just a thought, but maybe substitute a slate gray/light blue in for the green?Told ya. Seriously though, this is a great update. I'm actually digging the plum although both are solid sets. It balances really nicely with the blue, and it's one of those nice, but rarely used shades.

WarriorFight Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 The purple and sky blue...the pink (or whatever it is) reminds me too much of the phillies when they had the old Bahaus look. This is really great, you should honestly send this to them some how...it's better than what they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceHawk447 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I liked the original concept and purple/kelly...but I'm feeling the purple/sky update even more! [Also, royal purple beats eggplant.] Outstanding work, Buc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew823 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 There's a lot of ideas I like here, but the "C" only on the cap just doesn't feel right to me. The interlocked CR has always been, to me, the best part of the Rockies identity (especially since their primary is just so awkward). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb6 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 i prefer the plum over purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
