Guest Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Man you nailed it, great work! The updated primary looks much more like you intended, making the outline the Vegas sign is pure genius.Those uniforms are exactly what I had in mind when I suggested it, great execution of the critiques CAB!

DCarp1231 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Maybe for a team's jerseys you could have numbers on the sleeves and/or go baseball style with the woodmark on the jerseys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAB Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 VIRGINIA CAPTAINSI knew from the beginning that I wanted to go with either a marine or naval theme for Virginia. Turns out, a lot of Virginia-based teams have already used a few of the naval names I was considering (Destroyers, Admirals) so I chose the next-best thing, the Captains. I think this is a very appropriate name that is very rarely used in sports. So in going with that, this entire identity is heavily inspired by the US Navy. Navy blue was an obvious choice as the primary color, and I chose yellow (gold, whatever) as the accent color as most pins/stripes on navy uniforms are gold. The alternate is a stylized version of a captain's insignia. The wordmark uses a drop-shadow that is prevalent on most navy ships. Continuing the theme onto the uniforms, I felt Virginia would be a team that can wear white as their home uniforms, as naval officers wear all-white in the summer. The home unis are very clean, with navy shoulder inserts as a nod to a captain's uniform. The four-stripe design is something that I also used heavily on the clash uniform. I considered using a different chest logo for the clash, but I think the primary shield is strong enough for both uniforms. The court is navy to contrast with the home whites, featuring a sublimated wave pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Maybe instead of a shield around the captain's head use a porthole or a rope in a circle or something. I feel it would fit with the naval theme a bit more. Other than that I love it. Certainly my favorite so far. Great work! Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music!

mamiller99 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I like this set, but the only negative I have is the court. I would try to clean up the waves. That's what- She Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derschwigg Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 To me, the skewed primary shield doesn't match as nicely with the secondary (which is incredible, by the way.) Maybe try going more straight on with it?If I had to comment on one thing, that's the only thing that catches my eye, and it's admittedly a nit-picky detail. Well done!!

The secondary logos are straight on, as the primary logo is beveled and skewed, its inconsistent. Also what if you used more sublimination, on the clash, maybe in a sash. I think that could look good and add more to the uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germanshepherd Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I don't really see waves when I look at the court so try to clean that up a bit. i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperThin Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 The court is kinda ugly IMO. The uniforms are great. I think the name would be better if it was from Norfolk, instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soarindude Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I agree with the comments above.I would use the secondary logo over the primary logo for the Mid-court design and I would change the team name to Norfolk instead of Virginia. Norfolk Captains sounds better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAB Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 I will say that many teams have 3D primary logos with "flat" secondary logos as they tend to be more simplified with a monogram or some other symbolism. But I did work on a version with the captain head in a circle. I'm in phone right now, I'll post it later tonight. About the name: I wanted to avoid using any one city name, I think "Virginia" is more inclusive to the whole metro area. They'd play in Virginia Beach anyway, so Norfolk isn't really an option.
