I've been meaning to use the generic MLS Adidas template I made but it just never happened at a convenient time and several projects crashed. This one, however, didn't. The only thing I can say about the featured team's principal sponsor at their home venue is that I haven't driven or rode in any of the current company's vehicles and I've never consumed a product from the previous company. Of course I'm talking about the building on Katella Avenue in Anaheim. The then Arrowhead Pond was probably the most unique name for a sporting venue as it didn't use a traditional suffix (arena, stadium, etc...) in it's official name, that is until Honda bought the naming rights and the Pond (as still affectionately know today) became a Center. This facility became the inspiration for the away kit of the following concept.
Without knowing the history of the team, this may not make sense. It is not uncommon nor common that hockey teams are given uniforms in other sports in design only. But has most of the hockey elements still intact fused with soccer (MLS-specific in this instance) elements.The star above the logo is their Stanley Cup win from 2006-07. The diagonal stripe pattern is based on the original uniforms but with current colors. The current MLS numbers and font were actually a fluke as I was using them to test font size and decided that it fit the logos I used nicely. The customized three stripes along the shorts and shoulders are the renown (for good or bad) brand identity of Adidas (which may soon hold both NBA and NHL jersey manufacturing rights). The 1993 below the back collar is the first year of play for the team 1993-94 and the bottom half of the white jersey we've discussed.
I'm glad my first one us out of the way. The white was challenging to add something to the breastplate in which I first thought of sublimation, which failed miserably as I only had one idea for it that didn't work at all. Second was to find a way to make gold be prominent without making it the color of the jersey - I had nothing for that. Then we arrived at the current solution. SO with that, the first concept in a while. Hopefully we'll have a quick turnaround with another appearing here very soon.
