New Swag

Now I wish I blinded myself during the eclipse.
 
I'm finally getting around to workin on a "neon" sign to hang on the wall. maybe even turn it into a "fan station" to keep scarves and display various freebies like spiderman figure and the borough pins.

I wasn't sure what I should do for the sign. Choices were the standard crest, the monogram, or a custom design using the new branding fonts and iconology. I mocked up the standard crest last night. it mimics the image in the match photos (first pic below). My mockup photo (second pic) is just a render. I have yet to figure out how I want to run the wiring and everything. As designed, it will be about 22 inches in diameter, which i think works out pretty nicely for an at home wall decor.

Just wondering if anybody had any thoughts with regards to changes to the crest or ideas for a custom design using the new branding elements. I think a simple sign with just NEW YORK CITY FC (pigeon), would be nice too. But I went with the official crest because I wanted to see that star shining bright!

Comments are appreciated! I'll be pecking away at this over the next few weeks as I find the time.

I think your mockup looks great. I think it will come off better than the monogram. I don't think any added elements would make it better, and I think the new branding materials work best as separate supplementary pieces.

I'm curious:is neon building a skill related to your work or a hobby.

good points. i think i made the right choice going with the crest + star. will update as I make more progress.

to answer your question, this is a hobby but this not true neon glasswork. it's just flexible LEDs made to mimic neon signs. I dabble in electronics and maker stuff as a hobby. i'll be using my 3D printers to print the structural aspects of this sign.

not exactly the same but pretty much the same thing. bit smaller, cheaper. and from a gift shop in brooklyn, although the pigeon itself is imported.

do the authentic jerseys ever go on sale? really want the current black away jersey (the 24/7 kit)
It will probably go on sale late next year when it's term has ended but by then inventory is usually low with sizes. Best thing honestly is see if you have a American Express or Chase credit card offer for Fanatics. I've seen spend $100 and get $20 off. That's not sale price, but it's better than nothing.

they sometimes go on sale in the team store at the end of season, but by then, sizes are limited. if you tend to get a common size, you might be out of luck. They will also go on sale the next year when they are considered "old".

sometimes there are adidas coupons that will work on authentic jerseys, but that is pretty rare as they are often excluded.

i don't think it's a bot actually. just a new forum member. but hey, who knows anymore.
some messages seem like it's a new forum member, some seem like a bot. but either way all four were today. I think they're just more context-aware now. We'll see if they respond LOL.
