Rebrand: PUREFOODS Star Hotshots Logo and Jersey



A FEW WEEKS AGO COACH TIM CONE IS OUT AND JASON WEBB IS IN AS THE NEW HEAD COACH FOR THE PUREFOODS STAR HOTSHOTS AS COACH TIM WAS SHIPPED BY THE SMC MANAGEMENT TO COACH THE OTHER TEAM UNDER ITS UMBRELLA - BRGY. GINEBRA SAN MIGUEL.

THIS IS JASON WEBB'S FIRST COACHING GIG. HE SAID THAT THE STAR HOTSHOTS WILL RUN NEW PLAYS AND WILL NOT RUN THE TRIANGLE OFFENSE WHICH COACH TIM CONE BROUGHT TO THE TEAM WHEN HE TRANSFERRED FROM ALASKA.

SO, NEW COACH AND NEW SYSTEM. PERHAPS NEW UNIFORMS?

THIS REBRAND OF THE LOGO AND NEW JERSEY DESIGN IS JUST A SUGGESTION. JUST A SUGGESTION.

I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT I AM NOT AGAINST THE UNIFORMS THAT THE STAR HOTSHOTS WORE LAST SEASON, IT IS JUST THAT NOW IS THE RIGHT TIME TO ALSO CHANGE THE  LOOK OF THE TEAM AS IT MOVES FORWARD.

AS FANS OF THE PBA, WE ALL NOW THAT BRANDING IS THE MOST HIGHLIGHTED PART OF EACH PBA TEAMS' UNIFORM AS TEAMS ARE NAME AFTER KNOWN BIG COMPANIES IN THE COUNTRY.

HERE IS MY LOGO PROPOSAL:


FONT STYLE USE FOR THE TEAM MONICKER, "HOTSHOTS": SPEEDY 12. 


NOTHING FANCY! THE PUREFOODS STAR TEAM COLORS AND LOGO ARE PRESENT TOGETHER WITH THE TEAMS' MONICKER, "HOTSHOTS", WHICH IS CLEARLY EMPASIZE IN THE LOGO. THE BASKETBALL IN THE BACKGROUND GIVES SHAPE TO THE LOGO. ROUND SHAPE LOGOS ARE THE MOST POPULAR FEATURE IN BASKETBALL BRANDING THESE DAYS EVEN IN THE NBA. THE STARS AND STRIPES ARE ADDED FEATURES TO PUT A LITTLE FLARE TO IT.


HERE IS MY JERSEY PROPOSAL:
FONT STYLE USE FOR THE PLAYERS NAME AND JERSEY NUMBER: HYPER ELITE CONDENSED.

AGAIN, NOTHING FANCY! EVERYTHING THAT YOU EXPECT JUST BY LOOKING AT THE REBRAND LOGO ARE PRESENT IN THE JERSEY. I LEAVE IT ALL UP THERE. JUST SWITCH THE TWO COLORS WHITE AND BLUE TO IMAGINE THE COLORED JERSEY OF THE HOTSHOTS. SIMPLY, I GOT TIRED. LOL! 

LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW GUYS. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. THANK YOU!

CREDITS TO PROJECT THIRTY FOUR. THIS GUY IS PHENOMENAL. SIMPLY THE BEST. GOOGLE HIM UP PEOPLE!

S/O TO PROJECT THIRTY FOUR FOR THE TEMPLATE HE SHARED. YOUR THE BEST DUDE. THANK YOU.


NOTE: PBA, PUREFOODS AND PUREFOODS STAR LOGOS ARE THE PROPERTY OF THE PHILIPPINE BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION AND THE PUREFOODS FRANCHISE.
THE FONTS USED ARE THE PROPERTY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE CREATORS.
