Mariners concept

Miss me? lol.

So since I made the switch to inkscape, I havn't posted a completed concept (I've done several, but I'm saving them for later. )

So anywho, I really like when cities have the same colour scheme for all their teams. See Pittsburgh. Since the Sonics moved away, Seattle has 1 major team NOT 2 tone blue, and lime green. That team would be the Mariners.

So the direction I went in was changing the colours, not using the compass, and tying the logos with Seattle more. The current scheme seems too dark, and the aqua isn't used much anymore. I went with the Space Needle used in all of these. This concept really goes back to this concept I did in my old redesigning the MLB series.

The main logo uses aspects from this logo. The cap logos are a S and M(hahah) with the Space Needle. The scripts are basically the same. I added the Needle on the first letter in the same place as the cap logos.


For the jerseys, I changed a lot. I added piping to them. I also used the M's alternate numbers, since it ties in with the script. Plus, I mean, the other option was block. The BP is lime green. I chose that because another blue jersey wouldn't be as cool.

I tried my best to stay consistent with the numbers, and scripts.

So how'd I do? I have ideas for a Giants concept too.

C&C, por favor.

Sorry Guys

Sorry, I've been just enjoying summer, and not doing concepts. I'm still working on my inkscape skills, and not amazingly awesome at it. I'm working on some stuff, and once I get them done, I'll post here.

go to Down on the Farm for baseball design news. The link is on the side.

Inkscape

Alright guys, I've been using paint for over a year. I thought it was time to move onto a different program. I have decided to use inkscape. My concepts will be neater from now on.Inkscape is a vector program, which is basically not bitmap.

Here's the concept I made based ont he totorial by fellow board member, gingerbread man.
Then putting my skills I learned into making this 76ers concept. I actually kind of like it.


So that's what you will be seeing from me in the future. I havn't been doing much concepts, since the only vector templates I have are basketball, and hockey. But stay tuned.

Anchorage Bucs

5/6 Anchorage Bucs
Nothing amazing on the logos. MLB Tucson fonts, with a pirate flag on a bat as a tertiary to be used as patched.
On the jerseys, I kept the pinstripes that the team wears now. I added an all grey road jersey.The last will be the Fire, I'll see if I can get that done tonight.

EPLJR: Stoke City

20/20 Stoke City
Alrighty, last one. The stripes are based on the ones in the crest. Then the clash is a blue version of the home, without stripes. Switched to puma from Le Coq Sportif.
Alrighty, that's all I guess.

Gonna work on the Alaska Project, then learn inkscape!

EPLJR: Everton

19/20 Everton
I made my concept similar to the Houston Dynamo kits a few years ago. I added a sublimated castle like the one in the crest onto the jersey. I changed the yellow from the crest into a golden colour, not some faded yellow. The away is sort of based off the current away. Then the bottom one is a yellow jersey with a random design.

EPLJR: Sunderland

18/20 Sunderland
I kept stripes again, but I added a shoulder yoke type thing that they used a few years ago. The stripes on them is based after the Islanders 4 stripes for championships, the team has 6 championships, so I made 6 stripes. The clash is just a black kit, with red and white pinstripes.
