3rd jersey speculation

[tarheelhockey]

The solution is to use elements of the flag, not the entirety of it. The red and white stripes work well with the color scheme of the jersey, but the rest looks so badly out of place that's it's hard to believe that they're going to force it in there.

Yep. Never really thought about that connection before, but red-over-white stripes could be a nice nod to the flag without messing up the color scheme.

What about something like this?

So, any of you going to the draft party to check out the jersey?

There are pretty specific rules about how flags are supposed to be displayed... granted, they’re not iron clad laws, but it’s the sort of thing that people will nitpick and make a stink about. Particularly for something as visible as this. I’d think two-tone is off the table.

Also it would be hilarious if the included SC. A good portion of the fanbase would be triggered.

Seems like 90% of those folks are here.

Somehow, some way, someone would find a way to take offense and call it racist.

They’re gonna go preppie with the Vineyard Vines look.

Ew. I'd ditch the team tbh.

Sports logos posted a neat logo I hadn't seen before- apparently there was a new word mark logo on the footballs when tony romo visited. They suppose one of the pictures from the teaser is this wordmark:



Seems plausible, but where would it go? I'm thinking on the front of the pants maybe?

He predicts the "canes" wordmark as a helmet decal, which probably makes more sense that the pants idea i had. Also mentions the state flag in grayscale and double flag on the chest, no triangle. I'm just not able to envision a two-flag logo that doesn't look weirdly asymmetrical.

 

[Svechhammer]

About that wordmark... It does make sense if that's the case (and lord knows we desperately need to refresh the current wordmark)... But I'm not sure that's it. Yes, it kind of lines up, but...

I don't know if that works. If that's the C on Canes, the end of the C, at least on that image, hangs way too low to be the wordmark that was on the football.

unless they cut it off literally right at the point where it ends which is certainly possible. it looks like it ends where the border of the inside of the A opens up which we can't really see in the teaser pic

I wish someone would leak the third jerseys already

Whose drunk to do that? Ovi?

He'll sober up sometime. Maybe the all star break.

Every mockup of a two flag design I've ever seen has royally sucked. I really, really hope that they havn't gone that route. Cool in theory, but it's always been ungainly visually.

I... don't hate it

Edit: can't say I love it either

I picked it up for one of my daughters on ebay about 10 years ago. I think I was the only bidder. Got it for about a dollar and a few bucks shipping. About $5. It seems to be a youth or women's league jersey. It is #23 and the name is Obu. She still wears it when she goes to any hockey game and gets lots of looks and questions about it.

Sweet Jesus I hope these sources are wrong.

And if this is real, it’s time to fire the goddamn in-house design team.

I like that double flag option. I think it would look good on the triangle as well, which would give the logo some needed width. The rest of that mock-up can go in the toilet, though.

That's actually not bad, though the striping needs a LOT of work.

Actually I was thinking the double flag would look better over an overlay of the state outline.

 

[garnetpalmetto]

The double flag in all its iterations just looks terribad. Give us a slightly updated version of our previous third, please and thank you.

 

[AD Skinner]

I agree it needs a triangle. I think if both flags are small instead of the weird stacking they did on that image it might be ok, but I would just stick with the original if it were up to me.

If the flag(s) are anything like that mock-up, they desperately need a background shape of some kind. From a distance they won’t look like anything at all.

And I don’t know what the hell is going on between the shoulders. The grey yoke, patches, red piping, and collar design are just design elements being thrown at the wall. It has a highly “by committee” feel to it.

Not even gonna be bothered with the striping. It’s too ugly to be accurate. At the very least, a professional designer would narrow them down to look sleek instead of fat and clunky (the Kaberle effect).

Hopefully the real thing looks a lot better.

I wonder if the flags could be one to the left, and one to the right?
