I love the idea behind this, however, compared to the shirt you did last year I think this scores low. The original (as seen rlhererl for those who don't remember it) looks so good because of its simplicity. This new imagining of the design is a bit 'busy' and your badges and the sponsor text are very much out of proportion (i.e. too big).
Personally I would make it a bit 'cleaner' and more retro looking by a) losing the white bits from the shoulders etc, b) making the St.Helens Class logo smaller and more compact, c) making the two website logos much smaller and putting them on the bottom of the sleeves and d) putting the town crest on the neck and ditching the supporters crest you created (which I can't find it in me to like, sorry).
But then it's your design and project to do with as you will and clearly people like it so I'll shut up now.'"
I don't mind people letting me know what they do and don't like.
A)I understand what you mean about the white stripes but I was after adding a little bit of modern twist to the shirt.
B)The size of the images on the sleeve do look over sized but they would look smaller when the suppliers done their techincal drawing of the shirt.
C)Again the website logos won't big so big on the final drawing but I did consider putting them on the back.
D) Not everyone likes the same things and if we did we'd all be boring. I haven't taken any offence to you not liking the supporters badge.

But as Tony said, it's your project, not sure how you get on with stickman copyright though....'"
The stickman is different if you look closely
Quote: Tony Stark "As a shirt design fanatic, my own critique for what its worth is that I like this a lot because it really stands out from other similar kits that have been marketed in this design. If you drop the logos then what makes this unique from the other re-issues of this shirt down the years? You're bound to attract curiosity wearing this.
My only criticism is the crest. It should always be the centrepiece of a kit. It looks messy and lacks symmetry. The text needs tightening up basically. I think it would look good if both the text curved around the stickman, and make it symmetrical. But whatever, that needs cleaning up and then the kit is the finished article. Great job rally.'"
Yeah I get what you mean. The reason why im using the stickman is because that was on the shirt at the time. I was thinking of having 'St. Helens Rugby League Supporters' curve around the stickman, but for some reason I haven't been about to do this on photoshop!
