raysox Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 This is my second time redesigning the EPL. I wanted to take more liberties than I did back in 2009. Feel free to drop me a line with your opinions. I'm tarting with the promoted teams, and working up.West Ham UnitedSouthamptonReadingQueens Park RangersAston VillaWigan AthleticStoke CitySunderlandNorwich CitySwanseaWest Bromwich AthleticFulhamLiverpoolEvertonChelseaNewcastle UnitedTottenham HotspurArsenalManchester UnitedManchester City @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportstar1212 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Solid look for West Ham. I find the gold piping really pops on the home jersey. In fact, all 3 kits look beautiful.There aren't many soccer concepts on these boards so I'm really excited for this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 It's weird, whenever I posted the West Ham concept, it would be on the first post. So I had to wait until someone posted(and when FSU's internet wasn't crappy)1/20 West Ham UnitedI obviously went with claret and blue on the home, which I did a basic design with piping and mismatching sleeves. The clash is a darker blue from the primary blue, from shirt to sock. The 3rd alt is a white and black look of their other kits. I blacked out the crest in addition to just using blue for the piping. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marble21 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I like it. Aren't the socks on the home usually claret too? Doesn't look wrong aesthetically, just a minor quibble against the real thing. Only other comment would be that all 3 kits are on the same template and this is rarely (if ever) seen in soccer, but once again this doesnt detract from the actual design.

They interchange between the two. Like I said, it didn't look wrong to me in a design sense. Maybe I just associate them with claret socks in my head.Looking forward to following the progress of this series.

raysox Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 2/20 SouthamptonOne of those EPL teams that has red and white stripes, oh boy. I brought them back, as opposed to the thin white stripes now. The clash is a white version with a grey stripe pattern. The team's nickname is the Saints, so I chose yellow as a 3rd kit in the same pattern. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefridge15 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I can't believe you aren't getting more comments on these, both concepts are great, very clean designs and I daresay both are better than what they will wear this season. Can't wait for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I like how you did that with Yakball it would never fly in modern soccer.Having said that your work is great, always is, and I can't wait to see the rest of the teams.

roldy54 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Great concepts! But when it comes to consistency, you could probably have the Home and Clash be the same template, and then something different for the alt. That being said, I think Southampton's third could go without the stripes. Great start, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Calm down you guys, I've only posted two of them!3/20 ReadingUsing my puma template, I did some royal blue hoops on the shirt and socks. Pretty simple on the home. The clash is a red jersey with a blue sleeve, and white pants. The 3rd is pretty out there, I did black with some high lighter piping that pops off the black. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philsphan Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I like all three of these so far! I don't know much about European soccer, but I think it looks better when the kits match. How ever, Reading looks good too. My one critique would be that goalies normally wear highlighter colors, so I'm not sure if that is a good idea for the alternate.

crashcarson15 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I'm liking all three of these. Unfortunately, you're almost at Villa and I'm very intrigued on what you do there... we like glowing in the dark!

officeglenn Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Good stuff so far, raysox. Everything looks pretty spiffy so far. Only nitpick is with the names/numbers. It feels like the numbers on the backs aren't quite big enough, and making them any bigger could affect some of the designs, especially Southampton. Also, the vast majority of teams radially arch the names on the back rather than go straight across, so it almost feels like that's something you should also account for. On the Reading homes, too, the names is getting awfully close to the first of the blue hoops, and will be more legible if moved down just a touch.

sportstar1212 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Looks awesome. I like all of the kits. Very nice work, as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marble21 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I'd like to see that Southampton 3rd with blue shorts and trim replacing the red. Classic away look for them.Other than that solid for the Saints.Reading I just dont feel. Maybe its trying to force the hoops design onto that template, which doesnt entirely work IMO.

raysox Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Thanks guys. @Glenn actually, I thought the numbers were too big.@marble Yeah, I've actually heard positive reviews for the cut stripes. But I mean everyone is entitled to their opinion!QPR was a fun team to play with, just because after the blue stripes on the home, I really could do anything with them. I did a dark grey and black clash, and a red orange third. They?re all similar designs, with a few tweaks. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curswine Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I like everything you've made so far. Only slight error I see is that the Premier League patch should be placed on both sleeves. FootballShirtCulture.comDesignFootball.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkleton Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 QPR is by far my favourite so far.The name on the Reading home could be moved down slightly, and to be honest the kit as a whole doesnt stand out for me, but as a series there is some solid work here.I do have to disagree with a few comments though. Templates in soccer arent actually that rare at all, however using them on ALL three kits is not usually seen. I like to use a similar template on my concepts but with a different element on each individual kit. Also, highlighter colours for keepers kits is only something thats really been seen in the last few seasons and mostly on Adidas and some Puma kits. Nike use some bright colours but not as bright as highlighter colours, and in fact Chelsea, in the last few seasons have had highlighter yellow, orange, green and blue on their away kits.Im not trying to prove anyone wrong, Im just saying that what you're doing isnt straying that far from any 'norm' and to keep it up!
