TheGiantsFan Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 No real complaints for me about San Diego except for the name. Most likely, I think people would think that "whitecaps" refers to snow-capped mountains instead of waves. And obviously, San Diego has no snow-capped mountains for most of the year (I don't even know if their mountains get snow at all). I suggest changing the name to "Breakers" or something more wave-related instead. BEHANCE | PORTFOLIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOppenheimer Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Yeah I agree on the name and the black pants for LA! Maybe give one team colored (but not black) pants in this whole series.Great start! Keep going please!

woodshackzac Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 As a native Michigander, I would hate to see Detroit in any division that didn't include, Indy, Chicago, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Cleveland, or Minnesota. These are all of Detroit's rivals, put them close to altogether at least FC BAYERN MUNCHEN-MICHIGAN STATE-THE DETROIT FOUR-WASHINGTON REDSKINS-LA LAKERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePeam Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I like this set, but the main problem I see with it is that their socks on the home and alt are the sme color as the rest of the uniform I see that as jumpsuit-ish and it looks silly. I suggest using navy socks for all three. Aside from that, solid identity for San Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdRice97 Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Third in the California Division we have the San Francisco Rails. The Oakland Ports will be coming up next to finish off the division. After each division has been uploaded I will go back and make any edits that have been suggested before moving onto the next division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePeam Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 No complaints for the rails, solid work. Clever logo too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGiantsFan Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Hmm, the Rails seems a bit rough, in my opinion. Before I post my complaints, I would like to applaud you for using orange and black. Haha. Anyways, the inconsistency between the "San Francisco" and the "Rails" scripts kinda bugs me; is there a reasoning behind that? Tying in with the rails thing you got going, it would be pretty cool to incorporate more elements of the famed San Francisco cable cars in there. It just only makes sense.Other than those, it's still a pretty sweet concept! BEHANCE | PORTFOLIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philsphan Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I think you might be using too many colors to build a solid identity, especially for a city that should have a more "classic" feel. I would drop either the brown or the black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOppenheimer Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 SF is by far the my favorite of the series. I love the classic feel.

AdRice97 Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Going to address all the comments for San Francisco here rather than replying to each comment.My guess is that it's the lower quality images I had to settle for because of my vacation these past two days, but the colors are supposed to be red/ochre, dark brown, and skin tone/cream, not orange or black. Like (almost) every team, the Rails also use just three colors. I will re-scan the images when I return home for a better look.As for the inconsistency with the scripts, my idea was that the road one had a traditional feel, as well as a boxy look almost like that of a classic cable car. The home script was supposed to be more modern and "trendy" using the slant to give it the idea of a high-speed commuter train. This would incorporate classic in the road and modern in the home.I agree, I could take more from the cable cars to make this identity.After I finish up Oakland and post it today I'll go back and look at what I could change and post both old and new to see what you guys think.Thanks for the feedback.

namiller8 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I like a lot of your ideas here, but as someone from Colorado, I really think Columbines is a poor choice. Columbine pretty much means one thing here. I know it is the state flower, but everyone tends to think of the shooting as soon as they hear Columbine.Here are some ideas I would consider instead:DENVER PROSPECTORS - Denver has a rich gold mining historyCOLORADO TRAPPERS - Colorado's rich history of fur trapping/tradingCOLORADO BIG HORNS - Colorado's state animalAlso for Tennesse, I would consider Moonshiners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdRice97 Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 So here's Oakland, the last team in the California Division. Halfway through my logo creation process I changed their name from Ports to Anchors, allowing me to keep the same logo and the same theme for the team. I'm considering renaming Vancouver the Ports, as "Inlets" isn't much and Ports works for that city too.I'm currently taking all of your suggestions into account for the past three teams, as well as any others that you might want to add for the entire division, Oakland included. I'll post some updates tomorrow before moving onto the next division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namiller8 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I like this Oakland concept a lot. I was a little on the fence about 'Ports' and I think Anchors has a much better ring to it. Green and Blue is an underrated color scheme! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGiantsFan Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 For Oakland, I really like the shading you have on the anchor and I wish it carried on more in the identity. The weird widths on the "Oakland" wordmark bug me quite a bit. Maybe thickening up the O would work, or maybe incorporating parts of the (excellently done) primary logo into the O. And probably an anchor working as the "tail" on the script would be really cool.I do like the unique green, blue, gray color scheme you used.

AdRice97 Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 First up in the Cascadia Division is the Seattle Emeralds, the state of Washington's only team in the Confederacy. Up next in this division will be the Portland Pioneers, the Vancouver Ports, and the Calgary Stampede. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdRice97 Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Wasn't able to post this yesterday, but I'm back with the second team from the Cascadia Division, the Calgary Stampede, one of six Canadian teams in the Confederacy. I would love to get feedback on this set and Seattle's before I post Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamiller99 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I missed these last couple, but they look awesome! The Oakland logo looks like it was designed by a proffesional, so that's great. I think that the road on the Emeralds should be yellow, just to vary the look between teams. And Calgary looks good, I love the combination of modern logos with classic pinstripes. That's what- She Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
