El Dandy Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Change green to blue and you're set.I did a quick double-check...the C line is blue to begin with (R and F are the right colors)...a simple swap of green to blue is just what the doctor ordered.

nas1787 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Thanks for all the feedback guys. I had never really thought about orange and blue being traditional NYC colours, but now that you mention it, Knicks, Mets, Islanders all wear blue and orange. I think I'll keep the overall concept but work with a black, blue, orange (plus white) colour scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midway Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I'm of the mindset that Chicago is the new Gotham but we're not going to go there I like the home but I'm right with you on the alternate. I get creativity and all but there is almost no consistency here from top to bottom. I think the blue and orange direction is definitely something the intended market would embrace and is already a great color combo to work with. I do like your sense of vision when branding these teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleuet Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 One of the best thread since a long time. Very ingenious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nas1787 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Thanks guys.Here's the updated NYC set. The only changes made were:- All green was changed to blue (also taken from the MTA design guidelines)- Changed yellow socks to orange on the alternate kitYellow and white remain as small accent colours, but it is now mainly black, orange and blue. I think the small changes make it look much better (and more like New York). Thanks for all the advice.There was the suggestion of a blue jersey too. I'm going to leave that for now. There was a similar suggestion for a third jersey with my Utah concept. I think I'll leave all of these till the end, and then maybe do a third kit for each club.

cohenj21 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Beautiful. Even the small change in the primary kit makes a big difference and the clash kit looks great.

El Dandy Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Can I buy the home jersey somewhere, because that's just about perfect.Seriously...these have gone from very good to great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nas1787 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Glad you like it.Sneak peek! Which jersey would you rather see as Chicago's home jersey? I can't decide which I prefer. These are the two I'm going with, so one will be the home, the other will be the alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Salt Lake City: Utah Hornets -- Utah is traditionally nicknamed the Beehive State (there's a beehive on the flag).I've never understood the reasoning behind dubbing a team that calls the Beehive State its home as the Hornets.This is a bit like saying that since the tiger is the National Animal of India, and the Royal Bengal Tiger subspecies draws its name from the Bengal region of the country, that an appropriate name for a Kolkata-based sports franchise would be the West Bengal Lions. Bees and Hornets are from two distinct superfamilies of insects, just as lions and tigers are from two distinct species of big cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bees and Hornets are from two distinct superfamilies of insects, just as lions and tigers are from two distinct species of big cat.Fair points, but I don't think it's unfair to make an association between bees and hornets. The perfectionist in me realizes they're very different, but the little kid in me has always thought of hornets as really aggressive bees (even though that's not correct).Also, there's already a team in SLC that uses the name "Bees."And I second a preference for the white shirt as the home.

Dan O'Mac Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Not only do I prefer the white shirt, but I could see the 4 red stars between the lines on the sleeves, perhaps on the chest as well. I like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nas1787 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Here's Chicago Union. Again using a name and shirt sponsor that was suggested here. The colour scheme is based off the Chicago flag. Pretty self-explanatory really. Hope you enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Dandy Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Woo! First love the jerseys...the red jersey as an alt is quite cool and very different from other rugby designs.Second...that name is awesome. Whoever suggested Chicago Union is a genius.

cohenj21 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 This is my favorite U.S. concept yet, the whole set (name included) really says "Chicago." The red jersey is creative and original. The one thing I might try is to see if you can put the four stars from the Chicago flag in between the blue stripes on the white jersey. They could be sort of sublimated and faded into the background, but I think it would be a cool added element. Nice job! "Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand."

nas1787 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Thanks for these Brian. I am well on my way to naming all teams, but some haven't been set yet. You have some good ideas, I wouldn't be surprised if I used one or two of them.If anyone else has ideas, keep them coming. I still haven't decided on names that I really like for Washington, Dallas, Atlanta, and LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
