crashcarson15 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Indianapolis' NASL club, to begin play in 2014, will be named the Indy Eleven and will wear blue and red.Crest is damn nice. Club name is different and I like the "Eleven" part, just can't stand using "Indy." Just sounds minor-league.EDIT: Ooh, according to the Indiana Business Journal, it's named for a Civil War battalion. This changes my dislike of the name.

-kj Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Ok, I didn't know about the battalion. I was coming here to say how terrible the name was but... oh, who am I kidding? It's still pretty terrible. They went the dramatically generic route: blue/red/white, crest with city statue. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

BelfourThibault Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Looks good from what I can tell! Agreed on the "Indy" thing, though. I used to eat lunch on those monument steps all the time when I lived there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still pretty terrible. They went the dramatically generic route: blue/red/white, crest with city statue.We (our major supporters group) have been using the statue since the "Bring a Team to Indy" thing started, so I'm thrilled to see Lady Victory on the crest.The crest is phenomenal and while I don't like the choice of colors, they do look great on the logo (and I guess are the city's civic colors so there's that).But we'll have "Now introducing your Indy Eleven Starting Eleven!"

Sport Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 They're gonna get pretty tired without any substitutes. Did the wind blow that thing over? Why is it laying on the steps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRight Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Looks like potential for a cool red on red checker patterned jersey. That would be a nice look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Guess ol' boy's secret is out now. And look...you can even see him in the picture! (Pretty sure that's him, anyway.)So this is what the Brickyard Battalion logo led to...I can dig it. I was sincerely hoping for the black-white-and-green color set, but after all that stuff broke down about IMS and the intellectual property, I figured it'd be civic colors or bust.Pretty good stuff. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandMooreArt Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 fellow Hoosiers will get all the city tie ins immediately. i think the name is great. the logo is great, but Liberty is a bit too detailed for my taste. i think the shield is a bit too tall too, but overall i think it's a fantastic logo GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewharrington Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 PC did an admirable job with a tough deck on this one. I think the illustration of the statue is pretty damn good.

(I think this is also only the second time in American pro sports history that a female's likeness is featured on a mens' professional sports team logo...which makes this extra special.)- Colors taken from the Indy civic flag (which also explains the star-circle at bottom)- sublimated checkerboard pattern obvious yet subtle ode to Indy's racing heritage- Shield shape may or may not be taken from the Indiana National Guard unit patches Did I miss any? *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcgd Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Yeah cats outta the bag, this is why I stopped posting the America League stuff cause I was working on this.It was an honor and privilege to work on the identity and once I check to see how much unused work they are ok with me showing, I plan on posting the whole process soon!I've had some work through my job end up on bigger stages, but today was way different. A favorite team, doing it myself as myself (not with another company), and being there for the unveil was really special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 "Packers" and "Browns" are worlds better than "Eleven". For the record, I thought the Stockton Ports' re-brand as "Mudville Nine" was stupid for much the same reason.And a diminutive city nickname? Now the comparison would be "Bay City Packers" or "C-Land Browns". The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
