TShaw528 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I think the whole Yakbal thing is really cool, and wanted to do my local D1 conference, the Patriot League.(There used to be a uniform here but I deleted it so this post will be a general information thing. Just an FYI so the next few posts don't make peopole look crazy)The PL usually has no more than 8-10 members per sport, but they do have 12 total members, so there will be 2 divisions.Patriot League:Liberty Division:ArmyBostonHoly CrossFordhamColgateNavyFreedom Division:American (http://imgur.com/a/oPkVr)LoyolaBucknellGeorgetownLafayette (http://imgur.com/a/sF7NJ)Lehigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDFreek Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 First off, Welcome to the boards! I hope that you will find everyone here is happy to help and have you aboard.Now onto your concept. (I'll assume you're using paint)This reminds me alot of how I used to be when I started, it looks really clip art-y. There are so many ways you can fix that. To fix the pixelation, you can always save your files as .PNG files, these come out clear and are easier to edit when you want to open them back up. The logos you can get at the motherboard, and most of them are in vector formats so you should be good there. Try eliminating white spots and the gray boxes on yakball uniforms, they look so much better if you do. Personally I don't color the armpit spots, but I have on my Yale concept. You should focus on uniforms before the fields, IMO. I like the striping designs you have made, but the home jersey should be white and the striping patterns should be the same for both.The best advice I can give you is take your time, slow down, review, repeat. Rome wasn't built in a day. I'll be watching this topic, giving you C&C. Follow mine and other user's. Try every idea they suggest. If you do, you'll be making gold concepts.Good luck and I can't wait to see more of the Patriot League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TShaw528 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 These are still a bit sloppy, but I have relatives visiting so I just wanted to get Take 2 out for some critique.Also, does the home team usually wear a color or do they wear white in Yakball?WhiteBlackRedThe White/Black will be the main two, with the red as an alternate.I stuck to the more modern striping for all the jerseys. I reduced the size of the Leopard and moved it up on the jerseys, so the numbers are the same size front and back. I also removed the cream color from everything but the leopard, I didn't like it on the jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDFreek Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 You really need to slow down it looks really rushed. Fix up your numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDFreek Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I made you a template, as a beginner this should be easier for you to use. All you have to do is copy and paste it into paint, knock yourself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TShaw528 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Thanks. What do I need to fix in the numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TShaw528 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Do you guys think the 'Lafayette' text would look better without the Leopard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camly Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Do you guys think the 'Lafayette' text would look better without the Leopard?Definitely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TShaw528 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 All three images are huge, so I don't want to post them all and clutter up the page, especially because they're all similar.http://imgur.com/a/CTn7uWhich Lafayette font looks best?Just the word, front and back numbers are aligned (Seen below)The one I've been using (Leopard on top)The Leopard below the wordThanks! I hope it's starting to come along. I also redid the striping, not 100% sure I like the pants, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDFreek Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Move the font and numbers on the front down, move the nike logo over to the right more, move the numbers on the back up, do something with the socks, and you're good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TShaw528 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Thanks for all your help NDFreek!HomeRoad:Alt:C&C is much appreciated! I'm working on American next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDFreek Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I really like all the striping and detail you put in your jersey, its an improvement from your first ones. On the black I would whiten the nike logo and thats about it.Can't wait to see the American Eagles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancealot Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 The front numbers need to be smaller and the script needs to be bigger, think basketball jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TShaw528 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Some C&C on the American Home uniform. The stars on the pants are a bit obnoxious, but I kinda like them. The blue stripe on the blue uniform is a bit weird, I know, but it's meant to be (Obviously) American flag colored so I went with it. The blob on the collar is the AU logo, it is just shrunken pretty badly and hard to make out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancealot Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 If your not having a wordmark in there do would move the monogram over to the right opposite to the Nike logo and make it larger like a crest in a soccer logo, the front numbers need to be smaller than the back numbers. You have there sets of stripes, the shoulder ones (they look really awkward and tacked on) the arm ones and the shorts, chose one and stick with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TShaw528 Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 How is this?I changed the shoulder stripes to stars (I kept the sleve stripes, I'm kinda going for a stars and stripes thing)Added in the textRemoved collar decorationAdded stripe to pantsShrunk front numbersCleaned up the sleeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancealot Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 That looks much better but the script is too high, move it and the numbers down and you could keep the collar detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TShaw528 Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'm still not sold on this concept, so more C&C would be nice.Home:Road:Alt:Holy Cross is up next. I'm noticing a lot of the PL uses Red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TShaw528 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 These are kinda unconventional, and might be better for soccer. But I like them a lot. Only issues are I have no clue for the pants, and would the numbers look better imposed over the Cross, instead of inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B@ltim0r3R@v3n5 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 the holy cross won looks good but to me i think its lacking something also just as a suggestion maybe you could make it more like a soccer clash jersey and change it up a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
