Sunday: The St. Andrew's Post
Hi everybody. We have a great day. This is a pretty short post so we're just going to step right into it. Before we do though, I have to give you your friendly remind to Vote for the COTW and, if you're interested in competing, to sign up for the Pairs comp.
Okay let's do this!
Positives: So I'm lumping these two together due to the only difference being white on the ends of one of the red jerseys to match the white jersey. The color combination on both the alternate and the white jersey work really well. You've added red next to the silver stripping and the silver is thick enough to be noticeable on the jersey without getting lost. As for the red jerseys, I prefer the red jersey with the red ends as it looks more balanced than the second red jersey but overall both have a decent striping pattern. As for the alternate, it's nice to see the alternate having the large red stripe with the silver accent.
Negatives: My main negatives have to do with the half colored collars. They all look terrible on the jerseys with the exception of the alternate. Please stick to either the contrast color on the entirety of the collar or do what you did with the alternate and white jersey and make the front half the same color as the yoke area.
Overall: 8.5/10 COTW NOMINEE

Positives: There's a bit to like with this design. The striping on the main jerseys is unique but not to over done that it looks busy and the collar is one color (except the pentagon). As for the alternate, I like the idea of make a silver alternate. It's not something we've seen done by Adidas yet and it makes me curious on how it would look in real life.
Negatives: A few negatives I have. The first is that your striping on the red jersey is great but trying to add in red where the red would be on the jersey just makes the striping look strange and bulky, compared to the red jersey. I would suggest swapping the white with red on the white jersey and the jersey would look a lot more consistent. As for the alternate, The striping gives me a early 2000's collegiate feel, making it seem dated even before it's time. Also, the black on the lettering and numbers just throws the design off with it not being on the stripes itself.
Overall: 7/10
Okay everybody that's all I got for this week. Have a good rest of the week and I'll see you this time next week!
