Jersey design (2nd design added)

Post #102 » by **Jakay** » Fri Jul 27, 2012 4:40 am

The worst thing about all these jerseys is that no one changed the font that says "RapTors". That font is awful, and always has been. I get why the T is capitalized, but it annoys me.

these are all just some mockups that use elements of the old jerseys and some elements from the new ones. A modern twist on an old design. just having fun.

I love this, looks SICK imo. Would like to see the home colours too. It might look cool if we went back to blue and white too.

not to be rude, but isn't it kinda douchebaggery to flame people for being creative? Its not like anyone thinks these are going to someday be used, but its just a fun way to pass some time during the long wait for the season.

Also notice how everyone else that shared your sentiments had some creative feedback, or constructive criticism? This forum would be a way better place if people just took the time to appreciate other peoples creativity, thoughts, and opinions instead of taking the first opportunity to make others feel like crap.

NO FUN ALLOWED.

Can't we all just go back to unrealistically hyping players we've never seen before, only to turn on them the second they turn out to be anything less than a HOFer?

No seriously though I didn't realize this was a retro redesign thing.

i'm being totally honest. i have praised people on here before and i probably will again. everything had been looking so repetitive and....expected. sure it's for fun but i can still slam a masturbatory exercise in hopes it will incite some innovation. it's a dickish form of encouragement. your red 'slash-sash' is a step in the right direction.

i love design and i'm glad other people are just as passionate about it, but when people take it upon themselves to create something AND post it in an open forum, they are exposing themselves to opinions - literally asking for them. if they (or you) are not prepared for something other than praise then you shouldn't be posting.

^VISCOUS, go hard! nobody could make fun of that raptor. perfect pose and angle too. would look sharp graphically re-imagined as a logo?

This is a reminder of how they ignored the (supposedly) real bird form of the Raptor and went with a sort of tougher looking mini-T-Rex. Just everything has been a mess from the beginning.

We can thank Spielberg for that. If we were to go the realistic route, we'd have a feathered chicken as our logo:

Some of you were saying how they'd like the jerseys to have a retro look. I tried to incorporate elements of the 1st jersey and the current designs into this one. I wasn't too sure about the pinstripes but kept them on. I figured it could do without the giant logo, as most teams only have team/city name across the chest.

I gave this a shot with Paint so the result isn't great, if anyone would like to try it with Photoshop it'd probably come out looking much better..

I remember around last year (when I joined) there was a similar thread about using the feathered Raptor as our logo... it was pretty funny.

It could work, but the pinstripes and the shades of colour kill it.

I have no problem at all bringing back the purple, but only if its the purple we had in the 90's.

Was bored and decided to make a logo. Not your traditional raptors logo. Just a play on the raptors name.

F 22 raptor.

This version looks pretty good! One thing I would change is probably the font of the numbers to a more traditional one. I don't mind this one or the dark grey with just the Raptors going across.

Good work on the mockups although it's not really my style (I recently posted my simpler concept in a different thread). I liked the barney jerseys at the time but late 90's retro is a few years away yet from getting my retro thirst going - it's all still a little too vivid in my memory!

Let me know your thoughts on this logo and put it to some use if you can, I think it would look sweet at centre court. On a jersey I have my doubts but that could just be that I'd rather not have any BIG logo on a jersey and just stick to some expressive lettering.

Not the biggest fan, but that is a PRO job.

So true, but the black on red looks pretty clean..I don't know about maybe changing the black and replacing it with the 90's purple instead.
