Seattle Mariners

20/30 Seattle Mariners
So I've seriously had this idea since the start, and never really figured out what was wrong. I figured out that the font was just lame. So I moved to a more Agency type with the newer rebrand. I dropped the aqua-ish colour, just for the fact that it's basically a new team restarting. I did have seahawks colours, but dropped the lighter blue. I liked the compass logo deal, so I kept it around, but put an anchor on it for the marine theme. I learned how to do that with text too! So I honed my newfound skill and made a new script. If you remember what I said about Detroit's jerseys, I hate jerseys with just piping on the chest, not the sleeves. Piping is now on the sleeves. For the alt, I tried to include some lime green in there more than usual. The contrast makes it pop on the navy.

Colorado Rockies

19/30 Colorado Rockies
REMIX

Complete rebrand ahoy! So for this there is a lot of purple. I think everyone can agree its for the better. I went for a western font, and a really simple concept, just updating things. I updated the mountains, and the primary is the same basic idea. The cap logo is a simple C in the same font. I did C instead of CR, since it's the team's initials, and not the city's. I also made a tertiary logo with the mountains. I got rid of the pinstripes, but kept the purple going on the jerseys. Howeva, the caps are black like the current set. The numbers match the scripts, too.

Quick, name one thing thats wrong with the current set. If you said everything, and not just the black, then get out. I kinda like where they were heading, they just messed it up along the way. Main thing, is the lack of blue. I say, go blue, and light blue. Coincidentally that's what I did.

The primary is a tilted version of the current, with blue bevels. I threw in navy for a darker colour. The cap logo is the same, but I added an updated version of the beloved first set. The current road has a script and number set that have nothing to do with anything. I brought back the original Toronto script from this era and threw it on here. The jerseys I did put a little piping on the sleeve and neck so there was atleast something. The alternate is a light blue a la retro, and a white front cap with the sleeve logo. Enjoy it!

Atlanta Thrashers

So everyone from one time or another have tried a Thrashers concept. Their jerseys now are mismatching and don't make sense. The team was formed in the late 90s, one of the youngest teams in the NHL, so I went with a modern approach, but still tried to make it classy. I had piping, with what I thought was the right amount of each colour. Like they have 4 colours, and it's hard making them look good. One thing thats new is the Navy jersey, a thing they haven't done in a LONG time. The white is basically the same as the home, but with some contrasting navy thrown in in places that it would fit.

High School Football Concepts

I got bored on Sunday, and did some concepts for some local highschool teams.

Palm Harbor
I went with a modern look, one that is very similar to my old Miami concept. The school is Palm Harbor University, that's why you see the Miami U logo. I used the actual logo on the helmet, other than the U. Kept the dropshadow on the numbers like the currents.

East Lake
Lots of Philadelphia Eagles logos. Just like the current set. They have a monochrome blue look, and that was pretty lame. I did white pants to have contrast, and added a sleeve design. I used a non block font with this look too.

Dundein
Dunedin uses some icky gold pants, nd they look preeeetty bad. I matched the helmet stripes on certain things, like the bottom of the sleeves. The numbers are, in fact, the Atlanta Falcons.

Tarpon Springs
I used a classic design for one of the oldest schools in the area. Since I hadn't used shoulder stripes yet, I thought it was the right time to work it. I used the spongers logo, and the Tennessee-T logo, like they use now.

Countryside
One of my designs needed some piping and really modern design. I used it on C-side. I couldn't find the Cougars script logo, but it had the Kansas State logo in it, so I used that. I tried a few modern looking designs, and thought the final thing looked pretty good.

OK State Pro Combat

Here is something I never posted! I saw a video of the OkSU locker rooms, and it was really sweet. They said everything was Nike, but they weren't a pro combat team. So why not make my own! The team had to be orange. With some random piping an shoulder things. The script and numbers are the same angle as the logo! It really was for me trying my new template, but whatever.
Anyone got requests?

2014 Sochi logo

Sorry guys, I've had a busy week. I haven't even opened inkscape this week. Ill do some things for you over the weekend. Here are things I never posted.

From the artist who brought you these... I now present my concept for the Sochi Winter Olympics. The bid logo used, I think is worlds better than the current. The current is just words, and the bid was just a logo. Both are seen here, and here.

When I first started all I did looked like the bid logo. I found the design inspiration thread in the lounge. Looked through that, and got a rough idea with a cube. I made the cube, looking good. Each face needed something. The Olympic logo was a given. I looked at the geography of Sochi, and the mountain ranges are close to the water, like the whole city is. The left side is mountains reflecting over water. The top face is the snowflake from the bid logo, which is epic.


The reason i never posted this was it got mixed reviews on the boards, and I never went back. So there, look at it!

NFL Concepts! NFC

I wanted to do all 32 teams in the NFL, but I kind of hit a wall. I stretched for ideas, but some I liked more than others. Here are the select few. I might do some AFC ones sometime.

Packers
I love their set, but made some changes. The cuff stripes on the neck and sleeve are gone! Woohoo! Then the rest is pretty much normal. But wait, what's that? I put a stencil font! Sneaky.


Lions
They have tremendous upside. The number font currently is lame, and difficult, so I put a standard block on it. I made piping around the sleeve, cutting off similar stripes to the helmet and such.


Redskins
A mess, really. Some skins fans want gold pants. So, I did it. I thought that I could work off an odd helmet stripe, and put it everywhere. Those stripes go over the shoulder, and down the pants.


Cowboys
Really Dallas? The fact you haven't done this yet is dumb. The current white jersey, and dark jersey do not match at all. Design, and colour wise. I based it off the whites with the stripes, and made it simple and classy.


Saints
Currently, they have too many designs. The helmet doesn't match the thick black stripe on the pants. I matched everything. Note, on the white, I did the same exact stripe as the home, though it looks different. Florida does the same thing.


So thats some NFC concepts. I have a few in mind for the AFC and might get to them sometime during the season. COMMENT
