St Louis Cardinals Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 on the road jersey I'd make the top part of the sleeve blue. also, two archers? #9 LSU vs. TCU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugevolsfan Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 You could use some blue on the away right now there is nothing to tie it to the helmet.I would also add some blue to the pants & make the socks blue because right now they would not match the helmet at all.You could change the helmet to red but I don't think the logo would look good on that color.Also not of fan of the number font either.

The number font matches he logo font. Didn't want to get too far away from that. Old Dog Learning New Tricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElTeduardo Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 It would actually make sense IMO to move the jags to birmingham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9erssteve Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I'm enjoying the series, but it's kind of a shame to see you're not being as realistic with your logo's as you are with your locations. By that I mean you've clearly spent a lot of time and thought on where viable locations might be for placing franchises and looked at trying to generate real rivalries. But when it comes to your designs you dont seem to have thought about how corporate colour schemes work or about real life production methods.Almost every one of your designs contains a gradient of some kind, and all of them use far more than the standard three or four colours (at most) and possibly black or white. Take for example your Archers logo, it contains at least THREE different shades of grey! Gradients are almost unianimously frowned upon in sports design as they cannot be replicated using embroidery which means producing caps would be impossible. And the more colours you use the more expensive and time consuming things become to produce.I know this is just for fun, but it seems a shame to have been so thorough on the choice of locations, but let things slide with regards the design side, especially when this is a design forum after all. You're ideas are good, there are things I'd tweak with them all, but they're pretty strong identities, but right now due to the methods used they unfortuneately wouldn't be practical designs.9erssteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I stated some where along the way, this is a hobby for me. I'm not all that familiar with the processes that you have brought to my attention. I will keep those in mind moving forward, for sure. I will go back and tweak along the way.This only helps me get better. Thanks. Old Dog Learning New Tricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luketheduke03 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 A new team in the NFC North with the same color scheme as the Packers? Wouldn't fly well. Good execution, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcameronh Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 One more suggestion from me. I like how you gave LA a team back in the NFC West but I think with the history of the rivalry between the Niners and the Rams, would it not be better to send the Rams back to LA and stay in the NFC West keeping that intact and give StL the expansion team in the NFC North? Just my opinion anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
