dsaline97 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I really like this, but front numbers would help this out a lot. Good work as always.EDIT: I would also add the h star logo at least as an alt hat. It's too good to go to waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbannon92 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Love the new look for the Astros. Logos look great, and while I prefer the blue and orange, I commend you for taking the navy and gold route.Two suggestions:Front numbers (as dsaline suggested).Sleeve piping that matches the pants piping. The sleeves are way too plain right now. Nike + CFL 2015 | 2015-16 NBA Concepts | Complete College Football Redesign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Good concept, but I have a few critiques:Make the gold more "gold". This looks more like a gross shade of mustard yellow than metallic goldAdd front numbers and piping to all jerseysThe scripts would look a lot cleaner if they only had one outline. I'd make it just go navy-gold on the primaries (without the middle white outline) and have it go gold-white on the navy alt (without the middle navy outline). Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cohenj21 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 LOVE the secondary logo and alt hat. The whole idea is perfect for the Astros, never would have thought of it myself. Agreed with BigBubba on the shade of gold, but I don't think the jerseys need front numbers or piping if you don't want them. I think they are just as good without them. Finally, I don't like the white outline on the navy alt, it makes the script and numbers look a little off. Navy or no outline at all would look better IMO. Another fantastic concept!

devilboy1995 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 the gold loooks mustard on my computer, but i like it. it's a nice shade and works well with the navy. overall, all this needs is a arm-atripe or rainbow gut based specialty jersey.

raysfan24 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Thank you for going back to this set. I also like the tweaks you made to the script. Number font looks nice, love the hat with the gold bill. (**) (**) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmets Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Hey everyone, sorry it's been such a long time since I've posted a new concept. I've gotten very busy with work. I've had these done for a while, so I figured I'd post them here...Head over to the first page of this thread for a teaser of every team's primary logos.More coming in August!

GriffinM6 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 That looks great Kevin. The new primary looks great, and doesn't mess up the wordmarks at all. I've never seen a Cubs concept where someone hasn't used pinstripes, and I must say that the Cubs look a lot better without the pinstripes. The one thing I don't like is the National League patch on the sleeve. That should go, and you should just put the singular bear head on the sleeve instead. Overall, I give it a 9.5/10.

Philsphan Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I love those scripts. They are executed perfectly! But I would have to agree with Griffinmarlins on the removal of the pinstripes and the NL patch. Not modern enough compared to the fabulous scripts.

cohenj21 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 This is a really cool and adventurous Cubs concept. Good job overhauling an old set that clearly hasn't brought much luck while not totally changing the brand. I agree on the removal of the NL patch in favor of the stand-alone cub head. Also, on the home jersey in particular, but really on all the jerseys with the script, try getting rid of the blue outline around the whole script and instead outline each individual letter in blue, because the outline around the whole thing makes it look too bulky. The blue alt is fantastic, and overall a really nice set. 8.5/10 "Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floydnimrod Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Cubs concept looks fantastic. You went out of the box and nailed it. Love the subtle matching of the sleeve/pants stripes on the roads and alternate homes. Really completes the set.

sportstar1212 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 The Cubbies look quite good. One suggestion is to use the solid white pants from the home alt with the blue jersey because it matches better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16kid Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Loving that Nats concept, they cant look any better! As for the Cubs concept it still looks good but I find it will look better if you remove the blue outline from the script. Other then that terrific job so far on this series!

Dbroalexander Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I dont love the wordmark on the Cubs. I like it, but not for the Cubs. Seems very minor leagueish. I do love the jersey without the pinstripes though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmets Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 While I'm messing with classic-look teams...15. Detroit TigersChanges:New road & home alt scriptsOrange-brimmed cap used for all jerseys. I tried pairing different caps with the roads but I found everything looked best with this cap.Orange trim on home jerseyNew home & road altsNew primary logo, as borrowed (stolen) from Bmac, forever ago. This is exactly what they should be using... I could conceivably come up with my own rendering of something similar, but it would just look like a ripoff.Primary logo sleeve patchNew alt logo (tiger head)One standardized "D" logo for everythingThe Tigers' identity has some of the coolest elements (Old English, navy & orange, a freaking tiger), yet they play 81 games a year in that drab 19th century uniform for the sake of tradition.

cohenj21 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 This is one of your best sets. I LOVE almost this entire set, especially the blue alt. The new scripts also look great. The one thing I would recommend would be to use the orange-brimmed cap for the two alternates and use a blue-brimmed one for the primaries, or vice versa. I just think that with all the new stuff you added in the set, I think it could use a second cap somewhere in the set. Other than that small detail, really great job.
