Chiefs Your thoughts on my NEW uniform design. - Page 2

Agent V · 01-13-2009, 10:26 PM

This is going to get lost in Pioli (invisible deity bless him) madness, but here it goes.

I think it was about a year ago when I last attempted this. As a former graphic design student (now English major) I still dabble in the art, and the most difficult project I've ever attempted is the Kansas City Chiefs.

I WILL BE THE FIRST TO SAY: I DON'T THINK CHANGE IS NECESSARY, but it couldn't hurt, especially if done subtly and with NO BLACK.

I want to keep the blindingly awesome red as the center of the design, but integrate just enough yellow to make it consistent (the yellow, that is). I know most Chiefs fans don't want black, but I argue constantly with very talented sports design enthusiasts who insist me to add black just as the 49ers did, as an accent color.

Unnecessary, in my opinion, and I'm sticking to my guns here. We bleed red and gold. You don't add a rival team's color, even if it is just black. I've seen it done (with Chiefs uniform concepts), it's not horrible, but it isn't needed either.

I of course left the Lamar Hunt patch.

**** it. You probably aren't going to read all that anyway. Here you go:

Get rid of the gold and put black shoes and black face masks on them. Maybe on the all Red uniforms. I always hated the white socks with the colored stripes on them also. I wouldnt know what to change them to though.

You know, I can stare and stare at that thing for hours, recolor and re-outline, but nothing improves it. It's perfect. That's where I disagree with other sports logo enthusiasts on the issue. Yes, the black isn't consistent, but it makes it pop.

CHENZ A! · 01-13-2009, 10:42 PM

Change the yellow to gold, and make the red darker. leave the logo alone.

**Bugeater** · 01-13-2009, 10:43 PM

I don't mind the yellow, in fact I think the outline around the logo on the helmet is kinda cool. I don't pay close attention to what the rest of the unis look like as they are now, I wouldn't even probably notice if they did change anything, as long as they didn't put those stupid curving stripes on them like the Donks did it wouldn't bother me. The only thing that I can think of that would really piss me off is if they ever decided to change the logo. Nobody better **** with the logo.

**morphius** · 01-13-2009, 10:46 PM

I don't like the helmet at all, and would still like a logo on the jersey. But there are a lot of people that disagree with me on the logo idea.

leviw · 01-13-2009, 10:49 PM

I'll say it: I like them.

Uniforms are great -- subtle but effective. Wouldn't mind keeping the traditional helmet, but the black outline on the logo would throw everything off.

Nice work.

Uh, you do know that the current helmet has a black outline around the logo?

Whats so wrong with black?
It is scientifically proven to psychologically intimidate opposing teams and thus increase(a few percentage points) the winning percentage of the team by which its worn.

That's what he said. He's referring to my design.

teedubya · 01-13-2009, 10:57 PM

I love, love the jerseys... ****ING HATE the logo on the helmet. And I have been a graphic design instructor...

Beerthirty · 01-13-2009, 11:00 PM

Make the helmet gold or yellow just for sh-ts and giggles and see what that would look like. Kind of like the old Redskins uniforms.

Cornstock · 01-13-2009, 11:00 PM

We also need an all red set with red top and bottom

rtmike · 01-13-2009, 11:01 PM

The KC gets lost in the vertical lines of the pants. The lines of KC get lost, imo.

aturnis · 01-13-2009, 11:05 PM

If you changed everything you changed about them, back to what they used to be, then added sweet flames...then they'd be awesome.
