So it sounds like you didn't care for it too much??? I know it was kinda out there but I thought I'd give it a try... Maybe it's kinda Dick Tracy or comic book era??? Oh well...

Jabez54 · 04-07-2013, 06:49 PM

I DIDN'T say that

... Took me by surprised, considering it is totally out of character in comparison to the other Retro ... However, if you're able to put together a pack for a special Fictional league, like a New York League or Northeast Baseball League that includes logos such as this, I'll definitely will use them ... I really like the design and the layout, seriously

... just I couldn't use them with the others of similar design

... but this is so unique, mate ... what would happen, if you can take this Empire and round it out ...

txranger · 04-07-2013, 07:15 PM

Your right, you didn't say that... My bad...

Sorry

, I shouldn't read anything into your comment...

Do you mean like make the logo round???

I could try that...

Jabez54 · 04-07-2013, 07:29 PM

Just a thought, mate ... roundness ... but it's really very unique ... very 30-40'ish ... reminds me of the old King Kong nostalgia feeling, mate ...

I like it. However, I would like to incorporate the "NYC" logo and perhaps a lighter navy blue color. Love the "EMPIRES" script and textures used.

In my universe the Empires are basically the Yankees. Therefore they have a classic look that hasn't really changed that much. But vintage uniform textures were different from modern era where most were of wool. Would like to see how you would implement that.

Also, would like to see the "NYC" incorporated in a round circular logo like the others you've done.

Oh yeah, no Empire State building in the logo.

New York was known as the "Empire State" way before the Empire State building was built.

I was surprised to see this one, but I likes it a lot myself. Love the style of the logo, and I wouldn't mind seeing others in this line further on up the road.

Very cool.

Now you tell me

Not a problem...

I'll see what I can come up with in a more traditional way...

Tex, Ashante's uniform was from a request by Kev24 Fan. He and I (I thought The Clubhouse uniform existed already) wanted a NY Empire, minus the s, for one of his league and to be the NY team for my Indy American League from my ABF league. While The NY Empire may not be retro like your Empires I was hoping to see what your spin on that uniform would be.

In other words, they would like to see "EMPIRE" while I would like to see "EMPIRES" (with the "s").

Let me know your thoughts on these and then I will work on the cap and jersey... I can take the "s" off the Empires on whichever one you want to use...

Jabez54 · 04-08-2013, 01:32 PM

NICE ... I am a sucker for all the retro logos you and knuckler have done

... The Top is my favorite, but the other two are great ... the bottom one would be classified as the 50's look, while the middle more into the 60's ...

... if you ever feel ambitious, wondering what the original would look like in the round logo, without sacrificing the overall look and feel ...

In terms of style I like all three and agree with Jabez comments. I would like to see you incorporate the original round "NYC" logo (s) below, in place of the "N Y" lettering.

txranger · 04-08-2013, 04:07 PM

I will need to have a copy of those two graphics with better resolution... They are pretty rough on the edges and don't copy well into the logo... IMO that graphic style just doesn't look correct with the fonts and the style of the three logos that I created...

Hard to find a better resolution of this logo, that was the best I could do.

I've attached a photo of the original jersey logo. Perhaps, you can work your magic with it!

txranger · 04-08-2013, 06:31 PM

Is this an actual team logo??? If so what is the name and location of the team??? I can't do much with the jersey either... Is there any place to get a sharper copy of this???

It's from a failed 2004 TV series called "Clubhouse."

I was just playing around with this ... this is a demo model ... the edges is too rough for use ...

txranger · 04-08-2013, 09:11 PM

Made this into a circular at Jabez's suggestion... Looks pretty good me thinks...
