The end of this series is almost upon us. I hope that throughout the past three weeks that Phil's work has been able to inspire your designs. None of the designs have been completely negative, today included. That at least signifies that Phil's intuition is not quite in the best spot, but at least in the right direction.
It's time the burning C logo is put to rest, but of course, it should be done subtly by gradually decreasing it's use. Only the red version of the logo looks decent at best and is actually quite dull. The team could do better than that (and they have with the alternate, which Phil used). I do like the uniqueness of the logo being used along the hem. to add even more style to the collar add a yellow stripe at the collar's edge. As for the socks, they match for the out-of-the-box idea, but not specifically gradient which would pertain more to some form of Vancouver, LA, and/or Pittsburgh.
Phil tries to revisit the old style Stars kit. He does so by forming the star to the shape of the current logo. About that: it's not as good as the original. Go back to that. I do like that the font is slanted, but here it looks like the name and number are unaligned because Phil's surname is so short. While I'd like to see black sleeves or cuffs, the lack of it doesn't hinder this concept. Sandwiching the black between the top of the jersey and the socks is a very good decision to boot.
Today is a sad day. It will be the last time I will roam the halls of the two Catholic elementary schools I went to (details tomorrow). All that will be left is a charter school (between the two) followed by high school and college. I went to my first school, Fourteen Holy Helpers, this morning; it will be closing after 106 years. Our Lady of the Sacred Heart (OLSH) meanwhile was open for around fifty years (give or take). Both schools eighth grade graduation will be next week. A lot of memories that have developed my career path and my personality in some fashion are credited to these and cannot be revisited in person anymore. Another piece of me may have died, but it will still be forever vibrant through their affiliated churches.
I will be refereeing a four on four tournament in Kenmore (alone) four for games from open (9 AM) to 11:30 as a total of four games finishing just as tomorrow's post gets up and another (normal rules) game over the hill from me at 2 PM for the state Thruway league. Then OLSH is having an alumni reception at the same time followed by 4:30 mass and 5:30 open reception. Working hard, and remembering hard - it's going to be a hard day, but at least in the area a beautiful weather weekend. Hope you get that nice weather too.
