Western Michigan Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Since I'm not a huge fan of the Mavericks' current look, and prefer their old green and blue look, I've decided to (sort of) combine the two, while also adding my own spin to it.Fair warning: I've only got MS Word and MS Paint to work with, so I apologize for the rather crude graphics.Primary Logo: Alternate logo: As you can see, I remade the Mavs' inaugural logo with a more modern M. (The shadowing is really only there to make the white outline visible)Home uniform: Road uniform: Alternate uniform: I used the Mavs' current uniform piping, with the same colors and (not exactly but just about) the same number font from the Mavs' inaugural unis, while putting my own spin on the wordmark. Let me know what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Louis Cardinals Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 This is good, but the wordmark and # font really don't combine very well. Make those work better together and you have a really nice concept. Great Job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwmoore Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Try using Calgary's number style. And using Mavericks on one jersey wouldn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmecon Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 good job this design has plenty of potential, i really like how youve brought back the green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittier S Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 This is a good start. Using both italics and arching text for the wordmark on the jersey looks very awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad. Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 yep, you need better choices for the typefaces involved. good idea, but needs refined execution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyolaProp1 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I honestly like the current horsehead alternate logo as their pirmary, but with a green basketball. The unfiorms I like, but like others have said I'm not wild about the wordmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wgeddes122 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 do not like this. the green is just not a good look and all you did was change the font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Western Michigan Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hey guys, thanks for the feedback! Glad some of you like my idea.Made a few tweaks (only on the homes, but will change the rest of the sets to match the one that looks best) that might be more favorable. I went away from the italicized wordmark (I thought they used to have italics in their arched wordmark but was mistaken upon further review). Switched out the retro numbers for their current font. Option A: My original with a tweaked wordmark and new numbers.Option B: Tried going with "Mavericks" on the front. I feel like the lettering is too small to make this work, and I don't know how to make it taller (Hashtag Microsoft Word Problems).Option C: Went with "Mavs" on the front, since "Mavericks" didn't come out too well. Let me know what you guys think of the update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingmar66 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 The idea is great, but I would choose a different hue of green. This one looks too much like pea-green, while I remember the Mavs green to be more blue-ish green. As for the lettering, stick with Mavericks on the home shirt. Just make the blue upper body part slightly smaller and you have a clean look. I would prefer the same colour in piping with the shirt and shorts: right now you have picked green for the shirt and blue for the shorts. Pick blue for both, in my opinion. Also, adding a nice Texas star in blue and/or green on the back above the players name and on the front waistband of the shorts would not hurt this design.

mightyduck Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I definitely like the return of the "older" logo. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
