What you talking bout JMW?

there was just a thread a few weeks back saying our home kit would have a black badge and black trim, just hoping they were talking out their arses as usual.

I've got no insider knowledge so don't panic ;).

 

[BlueBlood84]

Not a bad effort at all.
If I'd have known about the comp I would have entered some of the I Bleed Blue designs. (currently on sale by the way...cheap as chips! Search I Bleed Blue on ebay to see them!)

its basically this:

and I got a stern email from Umbro asking how I came up with the design?

was going to enter this, till i read the terms that said you hand all rights over to umbro and only get a set of match tickets in return and thought ... feck off:

so u saying between 76 and when the sheiks took over, it was 32 years of dark times?? thats like forgetting the good times with the dark times in that period and forgetting everyone that worked, played or helped City in that period.

can see what you were trying to do, but kinda painted a picture that we were nothing good, now we are something good.

maybe "out of the blue ... six past the red" would have been more positive ;)

Can't believe the OP's didnt make it in the top 5, thats a class effort - you should get them printed up yourself i reckon!

Here was my attempt:

I heard mention in another thread a while back of a bluemoon t-shirt competition,nothing seems to of come of it but it was a good idea,there are some talented designers on here and i am sure the winning entry would sell well and pay off some of the server costs.

 

[kunaguero10]

Agreed with mansour's tow ropes.....Some respect for our history,we r not glory hunters!

I disagree, as it only states from '76 which I think makes it so good. And is pretty much correct too

Oh yeah sorry i originally read it as saying 1876. But my point remains

Well spotted - Neil Young sings it too, which was my reference.

Wasn't trying to say them 30 odd years were dark times, had some amazing days during that time.

probably wasnt selected cos its a rasterised image which is a buggar to put on a shirt and we all know that Umbro don't want overheads more than 50p a shirt.

i tried to put a raterised image into a t-shirt once and it was weeded into the fabric instead of like being a transfer. Dunno if that was just the manufacturer doing that or what they had to do. and it came out smaller than i wanted, so now i just do super big images so they fit the whole shirt. like this:

and it comes out that big and as a transfer on top of the material instead of being being printed into it. but tbh ... dont know how it all works tbh.

I must say I'd struggle to pick one of those if I was offered a free one.

Maybe the designers at Umbro chose the finalists and ignored the good ones so as to keep them in a job. Someone higher up could have seen the real quality ones and thought 'why are we paying these designers so much when we can get people to do it for a free t-shirt and bragging rights. Sack 'em'

These where my attempts that didn't make (P.S. I know they are Shite)

BtW the OP's effort definitely deserved to be in the top 5 at least!

I'm guessing that you didn't stay within the red box had a lot to do with it as well.

On a similar note, my friend had to sort through hundreds of job applications every year. Well over half were binned without her even reading them as the applicants simply hadn't followed the instruction 'Black ink and capitals only'. Looks like you fell into the same trap ;-)

Fair point.
Tho that first one, Andrews its much longer than the square too.

the redbox isnt that important, its a guide only, things can be done outside, just means extra QC on each shirt cos on seams or sleeve joints or collars etc, so if you have it in all in the centre, they dont need the QC.<br /><br />-- Wed Mar 21, 2012 10:56 am --<br /><br />

My vote went to Andrew, not keen on square prints on t-shirts but his looked really good

who's the Oakes and Doyle on it meant to be??

Cocked up the latin phrase tho.

Here was my attempt:

CLASS, the Original poster one looks more like a movie poster or programme cover... very good design mind

 

[SuperYaya]

I like yours better than all the others, probably the only one I'd wear.

However, wasn't there a square box that your design had to fit in? Yours looks like it goes well past that, maybe that's why it didn't get picked.
