I, like many others, have been quite disappointed with the recent city jerseys. Not only the leaks for this season, but previous years have been underwhelming, to say the least. As an artist, I took it upon my self to create my own, and while this is a redesign of a previous years jersey, I think it turned out quite nice.
Some notes:
- While I do like the original Cream City font (seen on left) I kindof enjoy this new one. Seems less rigid and I think flows better.
- The dark color you see around the antlers and on the shorts is a dark green, but looks like black on the artwork. Just something to keep in mind.
- I wanted to incorporate the blue that we not only see on the previous city jerseys, but also seen in the original Cream City ones. I feel like that subtle blue stitching and line going down the shorts ties in nicely.
- Shown in this mock, the name plate on the back is in white. I chose this for additional contrast, but would not be against it being the cream color seen thought out the rest of the jersey.
- With the second design, the antlers would wrap to the back as one piece. This way, no matter what size jersey/player, the antlers will be symmetrical as they wrap around the players body.
I worked on this for quite a bit, so not going to actually change anything. If I was to, I would move the number on the back up a little so there is more space between it and the antler. Otherwise I am content.
Overall, I am really happy with how these turned out! I can’t quite decide which design I favor, so that’s what y’all are for. I think the 1st one is a lot “cleaner” but also feel like the second one is more fun.
Let me know what you all think! Thanks :)
Not 100% sold on the bottom one with the antler, could possibly grow on me though lol but overall I like them.
Need to apply at Nike lol
