fouhy12 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I've been working on this concept and I wanted to share it with you guys. I made a Seahawks hockey jersey, featuring logo inspired striping and Boston College hockey inspired arm stripes. Thoughts? http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8331/8389564601_7fcff2fc74_b.jpg' alt='8389564601_7fcff2fc74_b.jpg'>I don't know why, but the image won't link right. Help? Oh, and I can't use enter for some reason in this text box with my new computer, so sorry about formatting. fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darkpiranha Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I think it's because it's the link rather than the embed code. Here's the embed code, as a test (I'll delete in a moment if it doesn't work) I used Share>Grab HTML/BB Code>select BB CodeSEAHAWKS hockey jersey by fouhy12, on FlickrBTW, cool concept. Don't know that I've ever seen one done quite like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRed618 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Try a different font. This one's too generic and will never work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey week Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 This is very different, but it conforms to acceptable norms enough that I think it's a good different.Couple things to improve this:The font is very generic. Worse, it's too wide. Arch it, like the Dallas Stars and many college teams do, and it'll work a lot better.Make the shoulder stripes thicker, and put the numbers on top of them. Make sure those stay legible, too (maybe white with a blue outline then a green outline?)Some kind of shoulder patch wouldn't be a bad idea either.I like it, make tweaks and see where it goes. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What font would you recommend? fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey week Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I would look for something similar to the font they use (used? I don't see a new one) in their wordmarksomething at least evocative of that look and the region's identity. What I'm saying is, don't just pick a font because it looks good, pick a font because it has meaning to it. Put some real thought into that decision. Good luck, I look forward to the update.

I tried to do that, but my font collection is limited and impact was the best choice I had. The update will have to wait until tomorrow because I have my last midterm tomorrow and I need to study. fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fouhy12 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 you could always search sport fonts in google, or i know there's a font guy on here with all the major sport fonts/ forgot his ame thoughI will definitely do that, but the problem is that I have a new computer and I'm not sure where I put fonts under Windows 8. fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fouhy12 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Ok, I have my update. Sorry for the delay, I had a busy weekend. Anyway, I changed the font to a block font, and I widened the sleeve stripes as well as rounding them off. I also added a blue jersey, and was thinking of adding an alternate. Do you guys think the alternate should be green or gray? fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
