Portfolio NSL '99 - Design Project - 16/16 TEAMS COMPLETE

[Storm20]

Just out of curiosity, and not to sound nit-picky. But are gradient socks actually possible?

Unless the entire sock was sublimated could you actually do a woolen stitched gradient?

You can - but not as "clean" as I have it on mine.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Perth Glory used to stitch a Chicken Treat logo onto their socks in the late 90s/early 2000s. It's all possible.

MARCONI STALLIONS

Going full ethic-ball here, Marconi as a traditionally Italian club go all out in the Azzuri colour scheme and an Italian flag sash across the front of the kits.​

 

[Freight Train]

MELBOURNE KNIGHTS

In yet another ugly display of flares at the ethic-ball game, the Melbourne Knights take their inspiration from their Croatian roots.​

 

[Freight Train]

NEWCASTLE UNITED

Now - I was so tempted to revamp their logo, but f**k it was too shit to even touch, it's the absolute epitome of poor 90's Australian graphic design. The original is even worse, with squashed text, so this is a facelift, really. Also for the kits, the home is the traditional blue and red, and the away is a throwback to Newcastle KB United.​

 

[Fizzler]

Drowning in new designs here! I love it, especially the Newcastle one, 90s af!

cheers my dude.

 

[Barrybran]

Damn that's an ugly away kit

 

[Bryce_Jersey17]

That Newcastle logo looks like a it’s meant to be for a political party

 

[cannavo]

Hmmm did the Collingwood Warriors survive in this universe? I know they dissolved before '99 but you never know

Nooooope.

I know right! When I looked it up and found the original design, and did the recreation, it felt like I was making the logo for a fringe 90s Australian political party.

Lvoe the designs Freight, however, wasnt it the Breakers that were there in '99, not United? or have i misread it and you decided that the breakers logo was too horrible to use?

 

[Storm20]

That Marconi kit!!!

Seems it was, but, I'm not really fussed. This isn't a factually correct or historically accurate portfolio.

 

[just_kick_it]

Freight Train can you please post the original Newcastle logo? I had a look and couldnt find it on Google and I want to see how bad it!!

Nice strip but not really a Marconi blue.

 

[Freight Train]

Nice strip but not really a Marconi blue.

Wasn't supposed to be - I always liked the idea of Marconi playing in the royal blue. That being said I might actually go back and amend this one to the sky blue and see how it looks.

NORTHERN SPIRIT

Northern Spirit's general branding consistency through the 90s wasn't the greatest, so in this AU of sorts, the Northern Spirit have relocated to Darwin, playing their games between Darwin and Alice Springs, and have adopted dark cerise and orange as their primary colours.​

 

[chibimatty]

Clever stuff!

This one looks really cool. Reminds me of 80's AS Roma strips

 

[Freight Train]

PARRAMATTA POWER

Parramatta using the classic France '98 design, with an all gold home kit and an all white away/clash kit. Sponsor fusion on point.​

 

[Freight Train]

PERTH GLORY

I'm not going to lie - designing this actually made me sad. Why? Because holy shit this would have been a GOAT design for the Glory (I really like my design here, okay?!), and now it may never be. I think this design screams Perth Glory, and screams for the glory days.

Also, credit to Bacon Warrior for making this Glory logo for me long ago. <3
