coopaloop1234 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 @Kirk3190 Not feeling it. Appreciate it though. @Puckstopper I get ya, I don't mind a white base with a bunch of colour tossed in. Problem is that the Blue/white team is Tampa colours. Which is the most boring/generic colours I could think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwarnar Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 @coopaloop1234 and I have discussed the GT2 graphics ad nauseam... I'm in the same boat as him... although I don't have regular team or uni's... But this is what I've designed so far @Puckstopper I completely am thinking of going back to a "boring" white based set: And as always part of me would love to go retro but am unwilling to make the leap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like retro tan on something with knee rolls and vertical stitching, but it looks like wearing cardboard on anything without those design cues. That us why I end up chucking every customiser that uses retro tan- it just never looks right for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckstopper Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Knee rolls... Check Vertical stiching... Sort of check Retro classic GT2s are some of the best retro options out there right now, although I do wish Warrior used the Bucky color that Brian's and Vaughn use instead of camel. CW, I didn't mean my comments as a shot at all white pads. My last three sets have been some variation on stock white and I'm personally eager for a change. Also damn near the entire pad wall at the store I work at is white. We got some all black EF4.9s in last week and people haven't been able to keep their hands off them. I think the market is moving darker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puckstopper Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Personally I dig using the dark brown as the primary contrast color on retro gear with selected use of black. I like the stripes on the gloves and would probably duplicate those, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwarnar Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Highlight of the day yesterday... Popped into an LHS, the only licensed Warrior rep in town, to see the GT2s. He said they won't have any for 2-3 weeks, which was annoying to say the least. He then tried telling me about "Differing dates for Canadian and American release." At which point I laughed at him and took him to school on gear... At one point his co-worker starting laughing and said "Maybe he should work here." Most days when I go to local stores its like: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see less of the neon and either use black or white for the bindings. The green really pops when surrounded by mostly black but the little bit of white on set 2 is eye catching. If he made a smaller area white I'd be afraid of losing the effect. Again, with the neon colors a little bit goes a LONG way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coopaloop1234 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Appreciate the responses guys. It's funny, guys on the team are pushing for set #1 as they want to get a set of white jerseys. Fiancee is also a fan of #1 Black set matches our current jerseys very well. @bunnyman666 @Puckstopper I'd have to agree with puckstopper on this one. Here's an idea what the neon green and black set would look like. Looks good, just doesn't fit with the jerseys. Plus as puckstopper said, the white adds a different layer to it and makes it stand out a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
