[Hoppers Xing]

Not bad, i like the aussie colours, but a bit too much white, i prefer the blue one earlier with the WS as the sash.

Green is probably more of a colour for a Tasmanian team than western sydney.

 

[Mr Crow!]

I dunno ... isn't there a big Muslim population in Western Sydney, and isn't one of the major Muslim colors Green (as well as black?)

Just drew this up in paint.



Thoughts?

This is great! Bring back the monogram! They're traditional and a lost feature of the culture of the code.

As for the name of the side and its colours;

West Sydney Rebels.
Do the knowledge.

This ties in well with the heritage of the area. If the guernseys are green, white and orange (of some shade or another) this gives the nod to our celtic past, the many, many Indian residents of present day Western Sydney (have a look at the Indian flag - it's spinning wheel is also a symbol of rebellion) and the colours would be an original combination in the competition.

Slap the monogram on the front and sell that shit!

Two points:

1. Not sure if the club name will be West Sydney; and
2. The new Victorian rugby union team will be called the rebels - but if that name doesn't end up getting used, might be a good one

I don't mind the monogram either - might still get used as the name Sydney Wolves

A three syllable nickname??

 

[ghostdog]

Why not Barkly St End?

Works for the Cleveland Cavaliers

It was sort of meant to be a bit of a joke for our Sydney readers, a bit like our Collingwood supporters struggle with their three syllables.

Though I think the team will go with something like Wolves or Rams I have been thinking about other options that are a bit different

So using my last guernsey designs I have come up with this:

Logo (Grand Rapids Griffins logo recolour):

Home:

Clash:

 

[InCase]

I like te logo, and having a mythical creauture as the mascot.

However the guernsey lets the proposal down, Stripes and V's together just looks like a mismatch cause you had ran out of ideas, then to make it worse, the alternative has stripes, v's and a yoke. It just needs a sash and you have all the basic AFL templates in one.

also there's a touch of North in it

I definately have not run out of ideas, it was just an attempt at breaking tradition. I also was not thinking about the usual design elements and that I have used just about all of them (it was an accident). Also the 2nd clash guernsey (with the dark top), was an edit of the first one after someone said that there was not enough dark blue in it.

But on to the process I went through in designing the guernsey (to give an idea why I did what I did).

I initially tried just the stripes, then just the v's but both guernseys looked very plain and uninteresting (this was with the WS logo, not the griffin), so I tried the combination of the two, which I admit is not a common combination and definately breaks away from tradition.

As for the back I initally had just the plain back but once again I did not think this was very interesting, then I tried the stripes making it look better but it didn't work with the numbers so I added the yoke to have the numbers stand out more than they did.

I t may still seem very busy and have the use of most design elements but when you think about what the team may require to get the younger people of the area to move away from other sports to the new team, inovation is something that they need to do.

If the team just went with stripes or v's then comparisons to the swans or kangaroos could be made as both have played games in the west to try and get support with mixed success.

So yeah it is just a concept that tries to step away from the traditional that may be seen as being boring and too traditional for the youth of the west.

also there's a touch of North in it

That was just coincidence, it happens with using blue stripes, but it wasn't deliberate.

Taking the idea of Jackmac7 with the powder blue, navy and white. I came up with this idea, "West Sydney Sharks"

Love the colours. I can imagine powder blue with navy GWS monogram...would look distinctive and traditional. Forget the shark though, not relevant to the region of GWS.

Another idea I have been playing with:

I like these, especially the first and third ones

They look like real footy jumpers, which I would like to add neither Port Adelaide or Fremantle have managed to achieve at AFL level.

Google Ports new jumper then eat your words

 

[Barkly St End]

Yeh - Port's new jumper is a beauty.

I no longer mind Freo's jumper - as long as they steer clear of their looney tunes design from five years back.

As for the name of the side and its colours;

West Sydney Rebels.
Do the knowledge.

This ties in well with the heritage of the area. If the guernseys are green, white and orange (of some shade or another) this gives the nod to our celtic past, the many, many Indian residents of present day Western Sydney (have a look at the Indian flag - it's spinning wheel is also a symbol of rebellion) and the colours would be an original combination in the competition.

Slap the monogram on the front and sell that shit!

Spewing this post got buried and ignored

Probably because it should have been put in the Team colours/moniker? or What should the team be called? threads.

Yes you mention a guernsey, but the way I read the post it is more of a discussion about the team colours and the name of the team, that fits more with the Team colours/moniker? thread.

Here is a WS concept I designed:
Another variation on the 'Wolves':

Wolf is taken from here:

Any Feedback??
