CONCEPT81: Krewe of New Orleans Uniform (MY FINAL DRAFT)

[Eman5805]

You have jokes, corny but atleast you tried. I just mean something serious, not a design from the women's euro league.

Yeah, we need our jerseys to be boring and generic, just like the Thunder.

[Panic Hoops]

Hey BigDub,

Do you remember the Quebec Nordiques?



That color blue, red, and I'm not sure of a third color. I want 3 Fleur de lis on it, like the NOLA flag.

Maybe gold as the third color - maybe.

[Teal Lantern]

UGH to the black & gold. The Mardi Gras colors look much better.

[bigdub81]

Yeah I remember them. And I did a crazy concept that involved the flag of New Orleans, didn't know if it would fly though, but it still looked unique although it somewhat resembled the old Washington Bullets, Wes Unsled style unis! I can do it over so you can see how it looked.

Might need to go a shade lighter on the blue. Possibly add silver as that blue and silver looks pretty good.

[Panic Hoops]

Buffalo Braves had something pretty good.

[Eman5805]

Oooh. I like that.

[Panic Hoops]

I love the designs, but you are right - a bit Washington Bullets.

[IamQuailman]

i think they would look good with the name HORNETS on them. black and gold for our HORNETS is a bad idea. they need their own identity those colors are SAINTS colors

THIS!

[triplela]

this

Yep. Steelers, Pirates, and Penguins are all Black and Gold. I think it's pretty cool, having all of the teams sharing the same colors. Gives a sense of unity that they are all in this together. I really like the way the unis look in the first post, but, I could get behind black and gold for the new colors.

[Mr. West]

These look great in every sense except they look waaaay too much like the Wizards new jerseys. Other than that though, they really look phenominal

[Joe Gerrity]

This has quickly turned into one of my favorite threads ever. So cool seeing all the options for jerseys.

[Penuckle]

Those city pride jerseys are incredible.

[IamQuailman]

I still prefer us be the New Orleans Popcorn Shrimp

[Unknown Poster]

maybe because he has an opinion

I hear the Bobcats need fans.

[Blaqmoon]

I hear the Bobcats need fans.

And if they were in NOLA i would be a fan. the Hornets are my home team. Mavs won the championship, maybe you should roll with them or maybe the Heat. I didnt realize that all Hornets fans have to share the same opinion

Yeah because of the colors and horizontal stripes, but there is enough of a difference to distinguish the two of them. And keep in mind that this would be a one-off jersey, not something that they would wear more than once a year. I envisioned it to be sort of like those uniforms that LSU and Tulane wore after Katrina that got auctioned off for charity after the game. This set could be that once a year.

The team would have their primary home and away sets, a gold alternate that I haven't put up yet, their ABA Buccaneers TB, plus their city pride sets. I like the city pride concept (my own thinking) because I don't know of many cities that can pull off their city flag in a uniform as cool as we could! That's the thing with this team that get's to me...there is soo much potential if they just tapped into it! I own a bar and do graphic designs for fun and yet I put enough effort into my teams uniforms with the backing of city pride to make them look, feel and reprsent NOLA as much as possible.

BTW....FUTURE OWNER OF THE HORNETS/KREWE....I WILL TAKE THE GRAPHIC DESIGN JOB THAT YOU WILL OFFER ME. THANK YOU!

[bigdub81]

Wishful Dreaming.............it's disgusting to think about, I know!!

[WeatherNLU]

Here it is in black and gold.

Absolutely love the black and gold, but two things. I think we have a better chance at a change than a total rebrand. Could this color scheme work at all with the Hornets? I don't see why not. Anyway, you have to keep the fleur-de-bee instead of that fleur-de-lis with the ball. That's the only thing. Love the black NOLA jerseys more than anything I have ever seen. Can I make it my avatar?

[WeatherNLU]

Hopefully you are good with that last question because I couldn't help myself.

[bigdub81]

I see that!

And to answer your other question, those colors could work with the Hornets name and FDB logo.

Love it man, I know people say the Hornets look at this and I really hope it's true. As mentioned, the idea of having the teams having something in common and something people can grab onto both of them with is a huge plus in my opinion. The coolest jersey I've ever seen!!!!!!!!!!! I like the Krewe by the way, just not sure that could get done. I am for anything that gets us those jerseys though! Great work!

[bigdub81]

That would be a pretty sick jersey to wear! I'll toot my own horn because I like the both of them although I don't feel the name Krewe for the colors, too much of a tie into MG to rock B&G IMO! As it pains me to say...there aren't but a handful of names that could go with this color scheme and make it work, the Hornets being one of them and mabye the Nights!

If they could just wear them one time for some kind of like Saints promotion, the fans would never let them go back. I want one NOW!
