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

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.

Comment!

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?
