why not have a few different designs thrown out there for fun and let the fans decide what jerseys they want to buy. look at what yahoo is doing with their logo.
Those were only worn once, on Christmas day, and now they're going with the sleeved jerseys for this Christmas...sorry buddy
I also loved the clean look of the Project 34 designs. As a few others have already mentioned, in order to come up with a more timeless look, I too believe the color scheme needs to be red and white, with the gold only coming into play as an accent, appearing mostly via the logo. I also think a tip of the cap to the old wordmarks are in order. They were unique, though they could do with some modernization...here are the home unis I had worked on in my concept, with my admittedly feeble Corel skills... free image hosting
These are nice, but they remind me of the cavs uniforms from Lebron era. I still prefer something like the Knicks uniforms and having the same font as our yellow and red.
http://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1ktowh/lakers_will_have_black_alternate_uniforms/ Lakers get black uniforms... WTF. We weren't allowed to years back?
I love the championship uniforms, no contest. Red and mustard, the full hot dog uni. Can't be beat; let's relive the past in more ways than one.
Why do we need black? I love our road alts. I wish the organization would make those our primary road uniforms, make a home white version as well as a new, yellow alt. And, for the hell of it, lets make a 'Houston' color uniform set, tailored after our cities flag. Blue and white.
The above jersey ain't bad, but I don't like the numbering. Change that and it will look nice. I also thing the slant in the name should not be brought back. While it is nostalgic, I think that aligning the text straight will modernize the classic. Keep the lower case "t" and font of the championship jerseys.
Spelling "ROCKEtS" with a lowercase "t" is ridiculous. Looked ridiculous on the 80's unis as well. No to that typography variation and no to the "yellow" color. That is all.
Did this during my lunch break. Here's the website if anyone else wants to try it out. Https://b2b2.alleson.com/configurator/#
Sorry man. I got me some responsibilities! Family, work etc. But for what it's worth I'm doing a series of tutorials about how to achieve the same look. First one is up now: http://projectthirtyfour.blog.com/2013/08/23/tutorial-intro/
Cool! Hope you'll come up with new Rockets uniform designs soon if you ever find the time. Would love to see something clean cut, unique, and classic as well. I really like the modern necklines that you've been designing but i prefer the classic slim shoulder/sleeve part. Big fan of your work!
Vipers are big time now.
