In my opinion, Scott Van Pelt is the best thing they put out. I could listen to him and Rusillo talk 8 hours a day. The only other thing I love on ESPN is Sports Reporters. Everything else, you have to take it as it is.

I do remember that they used to be somewhat respectable. When they added "Not Top Ten" i officially gave up on ESPN becoming watchable again (the anchors think they are quirky when in fact they are annoying). Its just this stupid reality tv bull**** that influences them to act like morons. Sports are not supposed to be funny (they fail at trying 99 percent of the time). Having said that: i want more javale mcgee bloopers!!!
I actually think sports are hilarious, and sports humor is my favorite type of humor. I loved when old Sportscenter anchors like Eisen and Patrick made jokes. The new crop just isn't as strong.
I think I finally have a uniform design that I like. I want something that other players in the league look at and go "I want to play in that uniform...and know what hot sausage tastes like!"
haha Can we see it? Is it one you've been advised not to share?
So something like this? :D

Maybe I chose the wrong phrase but you get my point! But you have to admit that players love to eat our food and actually look forward to it when coming here. Patton's, Bachemin's hot sausage with grits and onions, on a po-boy or bun is like nothing else!Quote:
I think that's the image we're trying to avoid...
So when did you hack into my system?:pQuote:

I wish I could. I think that I might break it into a bunch of puzzle pieces, pm the image to random ppl on HR and see if you all can come up with the final image! :DQuote:
Post it man!
I'm guessing a modern look? Is it Seahawks colors? Can you atleast tell us the colors?Quote:

is it for arcangel, i hope so!!! :D
From Dubs comments I'm thinking
Angels, but with some flash.
The colors are gold, silver and navy. It's a darker blue than what I used in the original logo. I used the same blue but it's two different sheen's on the material to give it contrast. The collar is different from what I have seen in the NBA. I've looked at all the teams and this is a hybrid collar if I had to call it anything. I have a few more tweaks to make here and there. Even if this wasn't my design, I'd still buy one!
The ESPN Uni Watch site has updated thier page with user submitted re-designs. Some of them are pretty cool. Nice to see different ideas from other areas.

Lol @ Bullfrogs
The Acadians jersey makes my eyes hurt.
Ha! The last Hurricanes' suggestion has a tornado as the logo.
Those are all horrible.

I'm warming up to this, and this is a great design for "DUKES".
Those unis are way too busy. Too busy! By the time you take it all in, Eric Gordon's already dunked on you.
I do like the New Orleans Revelers' logo though.
That color scheme would be perfect for the Reapers or Voodoo if we went that route.

But the mascot looks far too evil.
Wow, there's some nice stuff on there. Can't wait to see the article.
Saw your voodoo design on there. Good work.
Hey, the article's up. Here's the link. http://espn.go.com/blog/playbook/fan...e-hornets#more
so to clarify...the UNI WATCH doesn't like us using the name of a team that already exists like me and others here on the board. Where's the outrage?
That's sleek. I'm kinda warming to Dukes; even though I'm still a fan of Knights, with Dukes you can do similar things with classic-looking shield/sword/fleur-de-lis designs.
Of course most of those guys didn't use professional type design programs like BigDub, so yeah they're gonna look cartoonish and amateurish, but I can see some good potential in some of those once they're more refined. For instance this Dukes concept is veeeery nice, especially the home uni and secondary logo. Unique logo & design, yet relatively simple.
I'm still on the black & gold color scheme bandwagon though...DO IT!
I love the color scheme used for the Pelicans (Baby Blue, Yellow & Brown).
I also loved the Steamers idea.
You probably have to go in that direction. I don't think the league would want 2 hurricane logos.

WTF Portland? I've never understood what a hurricane had to do with blazing trails.
I like the steamers concept, not so much the name steamers, but that's my favorite of the ones in the article
Cleanest by far

I was I was talented enough to make an Arcangels uni :(
There were some really good ones....and really bad ones.
I think my favorite was this:

But then again, I'm sucker for script fonts and clean logos. The colors with this concept really stood out to me - especially considering most went with purple-green-and-gold or black-and-gold.
Yeah, that Pelicans one is the best.
Has a kind of UCLA look to it.
Steamers makes me think of taking a dump on someone's chest. just say no.
The Pelicans concept is definitely a clean one...has a very retro feel to it, and several teams in the NBA have tried to re-embrace the retro look recently. I'm not a huge proponent of it, though. The pelican logo looks like a cartoon ducky...no thanks. With a defined tweak, a la the NFL Cardinals/Seahawks logo revamps, maybe it could be something.
I think it would make a much better baseball concept. But hey, it would definitely be that different, unique look that some of us seem to be begging for...
I wish I had a shotgun so I could shoot the Pelicans concept :p
Everything about that Pelicans concept screams MLB to me. It's a great design, just an iffy one for an NBA team.
