Jvelleu 134 Posted May 27, 2013 Ever since the Rays came out with their fauxbacks last year, i've wanted to make 70s fauxbacks for the other expansion teams that weren't around in the 70s. I finally got around to it when I was inspired by JCRGraphics sweet 70s NHL concepts. I just love the horrifically beautiful aesthetics of the 70s.First up is Miami, racing stripes in full glory. (sorry about large images)I really wanted to make a super happy, poorly rendered 70s style logo, heavily inspired by pucky the whale. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nas1787 402 Posted May 27, 2013 I think Arizona would look better if the light purple was white.I really like how you adapted the Marlins logo, it looks great. Keep it up. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dsaline97 635 Posted May 27, 2013 Wowsers. That Marlins one is fantastic. I really like the fact that the underbills are all green. This is going to be a very cool series. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jvelleu 134 Posted May 27, 2013 Heres Miami in blue.And Arizona in white. My original thought was that the pinkish color would be the purple version of a powder blue road jersey (powder purple?). It probably does look better in white, although im not sure that thats the point, they're kind of supposed to look bad. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brave-Bird 08 1,625 Posted May 27, 2013 Brilliantly creative. Well done. Zona is definitely my favorite. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LAWeaver 918 Posted May 27, 2013 Pretty soon someone will make a fake league where the teams are stuck in the 70s jersey wise. These are pretty good, although there is one small details that is kinda bugging me and it's that the marlins cap logo looks like it's popping off the cap. Look real close and you'll see it. Looks awesome. Can't wait for more. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St Louis Cardinals 289 Posted May 27, 2013 And Arizona in white. My original thought was that the pinkish color would be the purple version of a powder blue road jersey (powder purple?).

Jvelleu 134 Posted May 27, 2013 Thanks for the comments everyone!Pretty soon someone will make a fake league where the teams are stuck in the 70s jersey wise. These are pretty good, although there is one small details that is kinda bugging me and it's that the marlins cap logo looks like it's popping off the cap. Look real close and you'll see it. Looks awesome. Can't wait for more.I just did that so the entire logo would be visible, it would normally be cut off because of the angle of the cap.Here are the Nationals.Im open to suggestions on what to do next, I've pretty much covered every team that could have a 70s fauxback. Maybe throwback to an earlier period? I could also do 70s fauxbacks for teams that were around then and just pretend they weren't. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Scorcho 409 Posted May 27, 2013 These are absolutely terrific!If I were a fan of one of these teams and they released any of these jerseys or caps, i'd be first in line to buy them. Fantastic work. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GriffinM6 1,276 Posted May 27, 2013 Too many stars on that Nats concept. Get rid of the pants stars and the ones under the script. I suggest you could do the Yankees. It'd be interesting to see how you could 70's style them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It'd be interesting to see how you could 70's style them.I think the entire point of the topic is to do the teams that weren't actually around in the '70s, hence 'fauxbacks'. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stampman 101 Posted May 27, 2013 I feel like I'm traveling in time--you have certainly captured a 70's vibe with each of those--with the boldness, the striping styles and logo styles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
