Chiefs Your thoughts on my NEW uniform design. - Page 5

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:

I always thought a Black Falcons like uniform when Dion played there would be a nice change of pace.Black and Red.

I hear what you're saying, but it is precisely for that reason(Atlanta)and tradition that B & R exclusively will never fly with the 00ld's.

I found this site on the web, its pretty limited, but is really easy to use. I messed around on it for about 5 or 10 minutes.

Obviously select football (male), then customize.

The colors arent exactly the way they look for the Chiefs now, but just imagine the uniform with the current Chiefs colors. I would probably keep the KC helmets the same, I would just make the arrowhead "shorter" in heigth so it looked more steamlined or "sharp"... maybe make the "KC" more bold too.

ok, screenshot.

I know what I do, and its harmful. Luckily it only takes about 2 minutes of clicking.

There really is no way to make our uniforms look 'nice'. They are too garish.

Scott Pioli better not see this...

This is driving me insane. I want nothing more than to throw down and prove that statement wrong, but I've worked far too many hours on this shit to prematurely blow the load.

For those of you out there who truly want something fresh and new, yet respectful to the tradition of the franchise; I've got you covered.
If you're ready to see the beloved Arrowhead Logo march with authority in to this New Era and Millennium? I've got that too.

Be patient; things are in the works.

Agreed on all fronts, a darker red would be especially welcome.

Mama Hip Rockets · 01-15-2009, 12:19 PM

i do not like the yellow on the helmet.

Personally, I like it that way.

This.

Leave perfection alone.

Demonpenz · 01-15-2009, 12:39 PM

I like the alternative black uniforms you see people wearing, if they could wear the black ones a couple times a year they could gain some in profit sales if they lic one for one maker. I do think they need to update to a more modern look like the san jose sharx

I would suggest this additional accessory just in case Herm doesn't get fired.

The overall premise/design is sound, but you have to admit there are SOME elements that are downright clownish.

The 5 different stripes that run down the side of those red pants?

Yat-dat, duda-duda dat, duht duh duhhh(clown theme).

I like a lot of the old-school elements of the current uniform, but I'd like them better if they were stripped down a little and augmented with design elements that are timeless as opposed to "Hey, it's 1972 and you're grooving Pele-style to the sounds of Bachman Turner Overdrive"!

Fortunately, and due to my labor of love for this Franchise; I have the answer.
