All right, I posted these in the other "rebrand" threads, but here's where I break the design down. This is an example of my kind of design style: unique, a bit crazy, and would fit right in with 90's NBA jersey designs, which makes it highly unlikely that it'll ever be used.
First of all, my scanner screwed up. The actual color of the blue is periwinkle (think Denver's light blue mixed with Memphis' light blue), but the scanner darkened it to the point where the only thing I could do was alter the image to get a Creole Blue color.
Now this is obviously a music-based design. The dominoes on the jersey are a tribute to Louisiana legend Fats Domino, as I really liked the "Dominoes" idea that was mentioned here. The numbers on the dominoes are meant to be read as "1803", the year of the Louisiana Purchase. The "glossy" numbers were originally meant for my Knights concept as a subtle tie-in to the "Brass" name, and I thought it was too good of an idea to waste. The lines on the jersey are meant to symbolize the lines on a musical scale, and also the strings on a guitar (and for some odd reason, it also reminds me of a jukebox). I also took the traditional Fleur-de-lis and turned it into the "Fleur-de-G" (G-clef). The cool thing about this design is that I can see it working for other names, such as Krewe, Revelers, or Spirits, just as long as the color scheme changes as well. Example: the Mardi Gras variant.
As for merchandising, I had one really good idea: Dog Tags. Domino dog tags, either in the "1803" style, or a "NOLA" style that I didn't put on the sheet. Now, I couldn't decide on a good name for this design (Blues? Brass? Soul? Rhythm?), so I'll leave that up to you guys.
What do y'all think? Are there any improvements or alternate color schemes you'd like to see?
