Fans Say: WA Reds logo

[docbrown]

Unless NRL manufacturers change the material of jerseys I would say no to "metallics". On current uniforms an old gold would not have the sheen that an NFL uniform has due to the material not being reflective. Old gold would probably look like mustard.

Ok I defer to your expertise on that. Is there a non-metallic colour that would achieve a similar effect and be usable given the current jersey materials? I agree the sheen is what makes the 49ers kit.

I guess the other main colour combos involving Red -

Red & Black - too similar to the Bears
Red & White - too similar to the Dragons
Red & Green - too similar to the Rabbitohs
Red & Blue - too similar to the Knights

The other ones that have floated around -

Red & Yellow - too Ronald McDonalds-ish
Red & Silver (current) - little bit dull, lacks vibrancy

To be honest I find the Red & Brown a bit too bleak.

I tend to think that some of the metallic NFL jerseys - 49ers, Saints, Rams etc - are the best looking in sports.

The only other vibrant colour that I can think of that would really go with Red would be an orange perhaps.

Or maybe just go the Dirty Reds approach with a solid Dirty Red jersey with white shorts.

I originally had a crimson red and red-orange with white shorts in mind. Might give it a go.

This could work. The brown colour would only remain in the logo. Red jersey, white shorts, red socks.

I reworked the logo and added more detail, including a new eye which was bugging me. Opinions?

Will look to redo the uniforms once I sort the logo out.

For me this is still these are best looking jerseys I've seen. Scarlet, Old Gold and black. A winning combination!

I don't know about the shading in the kangaroo. Perhaps it's too much of a difference for the logo itself but it might work on a jersey.

What are your thoughts about the Logo and Jerseys PR has posted?

Yep that's my favourite one too. Heaps better than the current one.

Yep. That V with Red & Old Gold would probably be my second favourite jersey in the comp (after my own club of course )

I wonder if they could sort out a new fabric so they could that reflective quality.

My only comment though - ditch the boxes for sponsors (I know they're only temporary).

On the proper design have the sponsor's writing in old gold/white with a black outline and blent it in properly.

Its an improvement on the current logo but its a lateral move. The Reds need to pick a logo that wont date, something most NRL teams are generally bad at doing, a kangaroo holding a ball (to me) screams 1990's and wont look current or timeless as time passes. The original logo has a place on a heritage jersey but I can't see it being used outside of that. A rebrand now will save them a messy overhaul later when they're an established national brand.

I don't mind red/black/gold as colours though my preference would be to use an athletic gold. The top jersey minus the sleeve stripes and a modified version of that V would look good (maybe a butcher stripe). I guess more focus on gold in the jersey and white shorts would differentiate them from the Bears (as a practicality and/or good will to the Bears bid).

I guess that's a valid point. Though you could still have the red kangaroo behind the angled gold lettering minus the ball.

Well if you do get the time to do a mockup I'd be keen to see it. I think several of your jersey designs are better than existing club ones! Especially the tigers ones!

That jersey and logo, is awesome.... Hay Gazf could you do a London Broncos one, cause there jersey looks bland and plain

 

[docbrown]

GAZF, quality work as always, really like it.

It's nowhere near as McDonalds looking as the Suns singlets.

Even though you've said it's probably now feasible, i'd still be keen to see the same flag and jersey mockup with the Old Gold just for curiousity's sake.

Refined the logo further, in a few different colours (old gold bottom right). I think I like the bottom left the most.

Will post more (jerseys etc) up when I get time, probably tomorrow.

Bottom left for me! Damn GAZF! That means I have to update my Fantasy NRL jerseys again! Stop making quality jerseys! Haha

It's still a work in progress, just warning.

 

[bennySW]

Quality work there.. and at last we have a logo thats not a 'retro-fix' of the old now defunct Western / Perth Reds

 

[docbrown]

Bottom left. Perhaps change the yellow writing to white and outline it in black?

Love the gold jersey!
