goforbroke Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I think the above is nicly designed but i have a concern ... and this might be because i know nothing about Ft Worth but is a W really that big a part of their identity? Like.. in New York its NY not NY if that makes sense. just seems to me like ur putting a lot of emphasis on the W when it should be more like OKC or maybe StL. However if I'm wrong the the "Worth" part of the name is a bigger deal that the Fort part then I guess leave it., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcb05 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 He's pulling a lot of inspiration from the Ft Worth Cats cap logo, so that's where the emphasis on the W is coming from: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29texan Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 I think the above is nicly designed but i have a concern ... and this might be because i know nothing about Ft Worth Don't sweat it. A lot of people don't. In fact, several people think of Fort Worth as just an extension of Dallas... which isn't true.but is a W really that big a part of their identity? Like.. in New York its NY not NY if that makes sense. just seems to me like ur putting a lot of emphasis on the W when it should be more like OKC or maybe StL. However if I'm wrong the the "Worth" part of the name is a bigger deal that the Fort part then I guess leave it.,It's already been explained above.A lot of what you'll see with this uniform is inspiration from things in this city, like the "FT W" pays homage to the Fort Worth Cats, the first pro sports team in the city. Also, putting emphasis on "W" can also be used to for winning. Like the Twins.I'll explain more a little later...And the name of the team will be the "OUTLAWS".

29texan Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 Tertiary logo.Fixing up the uniforms and will work on one more logo (including a minor tweak from BlackBolt, with his permission) and then I'll have everything ready to go.

29texan Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 Ok, it's still a little crude but here's everything as far as the identity goes.INSPIRATIONS- The F-T and big W- The Star under the 'W' (ex. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)- The 3 stripes- The Art Deco influence (ex. 1, 2, 3, 4)- The name "Outlaws" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittier S Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I like the uniforms. I like the original choice of palette. My only concern is that, in real life, the text across the front would be too wide, wrapping halfway around the player.The logos have some issues, though. The rectangular shape of the primary has no dynamism or motion, so it doesn't feel like it fits the NBA. There are too many things going on in the primary. Make some choices and edit out what isn't necessary. I don't understand what the spikes in the secondary are supposed to represent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the secondary, since the team is named "Outlaws", the spikes are used to represent a few images of the old west and rugged Texas (like tumbleweeds, barbed wire, cacti....)I'll touch up those uniforms as well.

McCall Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I'm sorry but I'm not gonna sugarcoat it; none of this works. The uniforms are poorly constructed and repetitive. The font is way too thin and just doesn't look good at all. The primary logo is a hot mess. I mean, you have a half ball/half head logo in a giant rectangle, half red/half white with a giant, vertical Northwestern stripe covering up most of one side. All the other logos are sloppy. Then you add in no white home (mandatory in the NBA), you mimic the colors of a team in the same state (Rockets) and you place them, unnecessarily I might add, in the same market as another team (Mavericks). Dallas-Ft. Worth is not a 2-team market, in any sport. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas-Ft. Worth is not a 2-team market, in any sport.Well, someone didn't get into the Christmas spirit. While I respect your opinion and criticisms, I will respectfully disagree with most of it. Especially that last bit.... I live in Fort Worth. You think I care about what Dallas has? .... but just to respond to your points: - I'm keeping the font, like it or not. - I'm keeping the uniforms, while only making a few minor changes (to the script on the front) - I'm thinking of what else to do with the primary, but it's not going to look professional.... especially considering it really doesn't have to seeing how it's not happening anyway. - The "Northwestern stripe" is there for a reason (the basketball is supposed to look hidden or skewed). - Thinking of what to do with a white jersey - As for the Rockets..... meh. They may have red and silver now, but who's to say they'll keep it? - Refer to that comment about Dallas and the Mavericks above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugevolsfan Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 The secondary with some work could be a pretty good logo the rest not so much.The problem with the font is when scaled down will not show up really well.Overall this will need a lot of work like McCall said to be considered a good package regardless of whether it would actually happen.
