But when you're wearing the scarf, the Victory logo isn't like the Alaves flag. Victory turned the flag so that it makes a "V" and points downward. If we keep the flag as is, it's going to point to the side. Oh wait...or is it intentionally a shoutout to Alaves? I just noticed that the flag on the prelim scarf doesn't have our warrior dude on it.
That looks great! I can go either way with the Alaves or Victory logos. Or another idea is it to have one of each! Do you think "California Victory" is going to be on both sides or put a slogan like I saw on the timbers scarves. Maybe "Beti Victory" or "Never surrender" or something like that. Lastly, am I still tripping on the rotation of the logos? the victory logo would be rotated, the alaves one wouldn't? If I haven't already said it, you can count me in for these.
the words could be anything but i just picked this... the question about the logos would be a great one for Yuri...
if that version was picked then you would even have a simple chant: 1906 Oi Oi Oi repeat until your face turns blue...
i like the one with the california victory logo, where it says victory on both sides and then put in kezar on one side, has it been decided what the offical name of the supporters group is going to be?
Those are pretty nice, if they are avaliable in July when I am down for the Timbers match, I'd love to trade for one... I agree that turning the logos so that they were that they are upright when the scarf is worn (like "Kezar" and "1906") is a good idea, that is how most scarves that have a logo on the end are set up See these scarves: (on the back): http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/steeplechase3k/Other/scarves/CiderGirls.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/steeplechase3k/Other/scarves/USA.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/steeplechase3k/Other/scarves/Tunder.jpg (on the "No Pity" side) http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/steeplechase3k/Other/scarves/trip.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/steeplechase3k/Other/scarves/SAFC.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/steeplechase3k/Other/scarves/PTFC.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/steeplechase3k/Other/scarves/oldSAFC.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/steeplechase3k/Other/scarves/HUFC.jpg
Turned the logos for you. I'm not a big fan of the font used, though. I think something a little less complicated would be better.
http://www.californiavictorysoccer.com/imgs/home/California-Victory-sample-1.jpg Here is the latest design for the scarf. Comments and suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks! -Yuri
I think the stripes should be a lighter shade of blue, like the stripes on the kits. Also instead of running lengthwise I'd like to see the strips the other way. And the font should match the font on the crest.
The Fury does it again! Thanks for the good work, Yuri! I agree with Ohhh Yeah about two different sides. But I haven't thought of anything other than "California" on one side "Victory" on the other. *shrug* Another note to take into consideration is that if these are scarves to be sold to the public, they might not want "1906" on it. As for mine, keep it on there. And put me down for two! Now that I think about it, it would be cool to have that on one side of the 1906 specialty scarves. Al
I agree that the scarves available to the public should not say 1906 but we should have it on our scarves and it should be available to future members of the group. Also one side of the scarf could have San Francisco on it and the other side California.
It has to have something SF on it. Remember next year if things go as planned the Quakes are gonna be the Nor Cal/BayArea team. This team (the Victory) need to embrace SF Locals and those close by. Maybe its just me, I but I think calling the team the SF Victory would have been better marketing then the California Victory. I would suggest the City skyline on one side, or using Suturo Tower on the ends on one side. No need for "1906" if its going on sale to the general public. Not only would I buy 2, but I would kick down some cash to help get them made.
I havent read the whole thread but FWIW, I went with Sportscarf.com and was amazed by their increadible turnaround time. I think from the time they got the .jpg to the time I got my 100 scarves was less than 3 weeks. good price too and will definately go with them the next time. Her is a shot of our design For concern about adding "1906" to the scarves I ordered some knowing we were going to give some to the Front Office personnel and to various players. we had several people who don't sit in E10, but support what we are doing buy some as well and dont forget to get a couple extra for collectors and supporters who want to trade either.
I do like the Tower. Does anyone have images of the Golden Gate Bridge or the SF Skyline that we might be able use?
yuri, I loved your sample scarves...they show a great look(ie., colors, symbols) for the Victory...hope they will be ready soon!!!!! Will we be able to order them "online" ? They are simple and to the point...not confused with towers and other stuff...(foreign to non-San Franciscians)smile!
Hmm. An image just came to me. The Golden Gate bridge has vertical wires going from the catenary suspension wires to the bridge deck. Fill in every other space with light blue and the others with white...
Thats funny I was thinking something along the same lines but I was thinking have a silhouette of the bridge running the length of the scarf behind the lettering.Also I think this would look best if the stripes on the scarf were vertical running the length of the scarf.
I like it Bill except my thought was to have the stripes run the width of the scarf and have the bridge and lettering over it. Just a thought
I strongly disagree with your idea of running the stripes the length of the scarf. We should be able to hold the scarves above our heads in both hands, and have the stripes be veritcal, just like on the uniforms of the players.
