The Ken King Jersey Discussion Thread

The white diaper look is putting me a bit off...

Thanks a lot for the positive response guys, this was definitely something I've had a ton of fun working on.

Lord Jesus that is a thing of beauty. The cream/off white is amazing and ties in beautifully with the other colours. It loses all the McDonalds connotations. I also love the alternate logo and its placement. Cheers man. Love it.

Agreed. I'm not sure if it would look better with the yellow/white bands reversed on the red jersey or if the bottom stripes need to be curved like the current jerseys to eliminate that.

Love the cream over white - I think that is what makes the SF Giants' home uniforms one of the best in the MLB.

That jersey combines everything I've ever hate in Flames jerseys into one.

It is, quite possibly, the worst thing I have ever seen.

Don't like it much myself, but I think it's the first on this thread to attempt something like what they've done here.

[Dr. Pepper]

Here's another that someone posted on another thread - thought I'd put it here so we've got all these in one thread:



Don't much care for the horsehead jersey, but the white one is spot on with the updated striping. The red one is nice too - only thing I'd add is a white shoulder yoke. Pretty nice overall concept though. Different from anything I've seen posted - so kudos to whoever came up with this.

Please. Oh come on please. They would be stupid not to make the jerseys look like this or something close. Every time I open this thread I see that and want one so bad.

That new ones not bad though. Can't say I love the horsehead. Not because it has the horsehead, I just don't think it looks good in that color scheme. I think it would have to be on a darker jersey.

Anyone know where to get a concept Jersey made? I'd take a one of the away

[davidus_49]

^^I really hope they make new jerseys like these. The away jersey is just awesome.

Looks great. I'd love to see how the alternate logo looks as the main crest on the jersey. I'm not one that despises the horse head but I'd love to see some other options too.

I think he means as the large logo on the front as apart of a 3rd jersey

Flames have one of the best logos out there. Doesn't need to be effed with.

you can get any concept jersey made up, you just need $$

i know these guys do custom jerseys: http://www.spapparel.com/

i know that many other companies would also do totally custom jerseys... like athletic knit and even rbk

it would be a custom order so i would imagine the minimum number to order would be 6 jerseys (maybe more, depends on the company).

on top of the cost of the jerseys would be an initial art charge and i doubt they'd put the logo on the front due to copyright restrictions

let me know if you go for it.... i'd take one in a heart beat!

[flamesfan1297]

that is definitley my favourite concept,i would love to see the flames wearing that this season

[Coach]

Ken King. If you are here (we all know you lurk sometimes), please take heed to Split98's design. Don't pander to people who think we need something different with different logos and crazy color schemes. This is what the Flames should look like. Pay Split a few bucks for the rights and throw in a free jersey. I'm sure he wouldn't mind.

Please!!!!

[fastpuck]

Creme- Sweet looking jersey, agree I like this concept the best, Worth emailing to KK.....

[Southside]

I concur. That is a nice looking Jersey. I like the alternate logo too, had to enlarge to appreciate how the tower was placed within the flame.

So wish to select goal song granted. Now how about the jersey?

[Igottago]

Great looking jersey concept. It never ceases to amaze me what some talented and passioniate fans can come up with...only to have the actual team contract a professional to come out with something far, far worse.
