Team Name and Color Ideas (Post Announcement) [MERGED]

Re: A New Beginning (Names and Colors Ideas Post Announcement)

I still love the light blue and gold combo. Not only does it stand out, with so many teams having navy and other dark colors, but I shows the Philadelphia pride, and not snagging eagles green. I think it would be silly to cause an association to another Philadelphia team color wise. The Soul has light blue, but we can just slap them around like the red headed step child they are. And I always like Philadelphia FC, but would that be like the NY redbulls actually being in Jersey, since the team will actually be in Chester? Just a thought, please don't hurt me!

Billy -- I'm with you buddy -- that's niiiiiice.

 

Re: A New Beginning (Names and Colors Ideas Post Announcement)

I'm definately digging the maroon and gold...looks great on a jersey when used right.

 

Re: The New, Complete, Comprehensive Team Name Suggestions Thread

i kinda like rovers too

 

Re: A New Beginning (Names and Colors Ideas Post Announcement)

Definately not the case, first it is hard to get a location in the actual city, plus it would take another 5 years to do just because of all the government red tape and building permits needed...Chester is right outside of Philly so its not that big of a deal, on the other hand I find it completely ridiculous to have a team with a city's/state's name in it when it is located in another state. I dont care how close the stadium is to the state it is not in the state so dont call it that...whats even more ridiculous is that they are building their new stadium also in New Jersey. Idk I just had to rant a little.

Also the maroon/burgandy and gold is really growing on me, looks very official, good colors that no other team has together, and very distinctive. I still think using the Celtic style jersey would look best wth these colors (Dallas is the only team with hoops), we just need to get the right shade now...

Oops, wrong thread.

 

Re: A New Beginning (Names and Colors Ideas Post Announcement)

I think it would work to have kits like this...




With, yes, this logo type on the chest.

 

Re: A New Beginning (Names and Colors Ideas Post Announcement)

Slowly but surely, Philly fans are selling out to the dark colors. Will by the time 2010 gets here, the colors be Black and Maroon, with Black being the dominent color???? Sure only Colorado has Maroon, but nobody has your flag colors. Maybe Seattle will be the originals. Forever and only Orange!

 

Re: A New Beginning (Names and Colors Ideas Post Announcement)

There you go. These are great. Yall don't have to go away from the flag color idea to look "Official".

 

Re: A New Beginning (Names and Colors Ideas Post Announcement)

Oh I forgot, not everybody gets the sarcasm. Shall I draw you a diagram of how it works?

 

Re: A New Beginning (Names and Colors Ideas Post Announcement)

i guess it might help...

 

Re: A New Beginning (Names and Colors Ideas Post Announcement)

funny you say that because i think the USC black bball jerseys are awesome... black jersey, maroon numbers, yellow or gold piping and name.

 

Re: A New Beginning (Names and Colors Ideas Post Announcement)

Guess I don't mind the light blue and gold. Maybe as an alternate kit, we look at black and gold? Or, how about black and silver....?

For a name idea I haven't seen yet (doesn't mean it wasn't already suggested), how about something closely related to Ben Franklin like Philadelphia Lightning or Electric or Shock ...something like that.

The Keystone badge is cool even though us Jersey folks aren't keystoners...but hey, I am just glad we have our team!!

 

Re: A New Beginning (Names and Colors Ideas Post Announcement)

Hm, that's true. But, that's southern California, kinda LA-ish which is not Philly. Also isn't Maroon a Redskin color???

 

Re: A New Beginning (Names and Colors Ideas Post Announcement)

The Han Zolos?

The Shaka Zolos?



IMHO go for the Celta Vigo/ManCity look... You CAN have a home sky... and road gold! There.

 

Re: A New Beginning (Names and Colors Ideas Post Announcement)

that's very san diego charger-esque, could be done with either light or dark blue & some sort of yellow/gold

 

Re: A New Beginning (Names and Colors Ideas Post Announcement)

Oh, and to all the doubters out there, the real reason we don't want to give up the city flag colors is because we won't be able to sing one of our favorite songs anymore...no other colors rhyme with "two"

LEEDIE LOODIE!

 

I thinky ou guys hsould go with:

Philadelphia Liberty

and then you can be affectionately known as the "Bells"

 

Just an update to my previous proposal... this time with a third (goalkeeper?) kit and added numbering and sponsors...

PRIMARY KIT:


CLASH KIT:


ALTERNATE KIT:

 

I don't like the shorts in these kits, make the player look like they soiled themselves.

 

Ah, the curse of trying to show where the vents are in the jerseys and shorts. It's still going to be solid color, I'm sure of it.

 

White shorts with the home jerseys...just a thought.

How about the Philadelphia Benjamins Because it is all about the Benjamins and Sons of Benjamins. : )
