Design Toronto FC New kit

[Mark TFC]

Take a look at the five finalists. No offence to the finalists, but I probably could've picked better kits with my eyes closed. A few of the designs are eye-sores.

i won't be so generous.. ALL of these are eyesores.
i was going to create one, but with how limited we were with choices, the last thing i would want to do is create a variation of our home (red) or away (white) kits. how hard was it to make our third kit black without all of the crap on it?

meh not that bad.

Got a call today from Kelli at TFC, turns out one of my kit designs is a finalist. Tried to remind myself what my designs look like, but the link to view and create a kit is currently closed. I think I tried creating 2 or 3 kits. All of my designs had a red cross on the back of the neck, and were from what I recall mostly black and white. I tried to blend in the Adidas logos as much as possible too. Actually surprised they would choose mine because I did try to hide those logos. Anyhow, I'm excited and hope that I can get some votes from all my fellow RPB's. The name attached to my design should be Jimmy S. and they told me voting starts tomorrow and runs till December 3rd.

I voted for you Jimmy. What won it for me was that you put the maple leaf over the TFC logo.

That being said, I still like my mostly black one over any of these, lol.

I'll have to see an actual jersey, but all these renderings look terrible to me. I didn't even like the ones I made myself.

^ The template is terrible. Way to many panels, it looks like a jigsaw puzzle. I eventually chose design #4. It's the simplest, least clusterfucked kit up for vote. I'm sick of crazy zig zags and bra straps.

The finalist designs all look like crap...we should put whoever chose them on waivers too with the others.

[Cashcleaner]

I'm sorry Jimmy, but I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of any of those designs. I ended up voting for the grey one (Joel G) just because out of all of them, it was the less "busy".

[Mark TFC]

Were these drawn out of a hat?

I think I designed 2 or 3 for the hell of it. The one they chose was one of my middle designs. I think I got craftier at hiding the logos in later designs. What I like about the one they chose is the maple leaf behind the crest, the milan/St. George style cross on the back of the collar, and the fact that the Adidas logo on the shirt is almost the same colour as the jersey and harder to see (sort of like Englands Umbro kit). If only they chose a design in which the shorts and socks had the logo more blended in. I'm not crazy about big adverstisements and logos on kits. Unfortunately, the template is all we had to work with. I still like what I did with my design. I told myself last night that I'd vote for someone elses design if I thought it was better. Nothing there seems better to me. Maybe, in the future they will allow us to be even more creative with the design. I would have loved to create a black kit. thanks for the votes.

[BeachFC]

well, start up your own thread, give us the links and get it stickified. Don't make me do all the work in order to vote for you, man.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have to try and figure out how to do all that when I get home from work. I'm not that forum savvy.

every one of those 5 finalists looks like shit.

Theyre all pretty terrible. Just 5 different, yet completely similar designs.
