    Re: Uniform Design Thread (Summer 07 Edition)

    Is there a certain kit-designing program these are being made in or is it just graphic design tools?

    Re: Uniform Design Thread (Summer 07 Edition)

    here is the updated Ajax inspired Philadelphia Independence full kit...

    [IMG]

    one is home one is away...not really sure which is which :p ...but I honestly don't think it matters

    if anyone wants the original vector image so they can play around with it just PM me. also I decided to make a vector image of the seal of Philadelphia (which is what is on the front middle of the shirt) using this reference...

    [IMG]
    *Taken from Wikipedia
    again...PM me if ya want!

    To make the kit, I used a template that I downloaded from a zipped up package of kit templates from here...
    http://members.optusnet.com.au/robert.meredith/gordie-delini-soccer-templates.zip
    its a great package of kit designs to mess around with.


    also I know that when I suggested it, the black socks weren't all that popular but I just think that that would be a great nickname for the team so I kept it in there..

    anyways all suggestions and ideas are more than welcome

    Re: Uniform Design Thread (Summer 07 Edition)

    I still like the idea of a road kit being completely different from home colors. The Pennsylvania Railroad Tuscan Red and Gold would work nicely. I just worry the red may be too close to the crapids red.

    I'll see if I can mock something up with my feeble skills tonight.

    I like the idea of a primary and a change strip, not definitively home and road. And I think a PRR inspired design might be a nice and historic change strip.

    Brighten up that gold and I think we have a winner. It looks like booger green.

    Re: Uniform Design Thread (Summer 07 Edition)

    I like this one, it's reminiscent of the Fury colors without being so hideous.

    It's red but it'd still stick out amongst all the other reds in the league.

    Re: Uniform Design Thread (Summer 07 Edition)

    Fixed it, I think.

    There's a thin line between gold and booger green.

    Re: Uniform Design Thread (Summer 07 Edition)

    Try these colors Mark...it still looks olive

    Blue
    53
    152
    254

    Gold
    253
    203
    13

    Those will match the colors of the JF (if that's what you're going for)

    Re: Uniform Design Thread (Summer 07 Edition)

    Yeah, I was going for a subdued darker gold, sort of like the St. Louis Rams (but with the brighter blue)

    Re: Uniform Design Thread (Summer 07 Edition)

    OK, I'm fully sold now...the alternate kit is this color combo. And the keystone is a good base for a crest, too.

    Re: Uniform Design Thread (Summer 07 Edition)

    All you guys rock. the ideas are great...

    I'm partial to the red, just above. It kind of reminds me of the 'sedona red' the AZ d-backs use. With the gold numbers it looks sharp.

    That is the extent of my artistic input.

    out.

    Re: Uniform Design Thread (Summer 07 Edition)

    Ok, got a much nicer shade in there. Didn't realize how pea-soup-green it looked until I changed it.

    Re: Uniform Design Thread (Summer 07 Edition)
