superman0710 0 #1 February 23, 2006 what'dya all think? these are the concepts i've pretty much settled with. concept 1: (suit 1, a1, a2) Pretty much all snow camo, white forearms, back, and grippers. concept 2: (suit 1 front, b2, b3) Snow camo front, white back, white back, white grippers in front, camo back half of grippers.) I really like this design and am leaning towards it. concept 3: (suit c 1,2,3): navy front, white forearms, red pants. going for a USA theme here. so what'dya all think?

sundevil777 94 #4 February 23, 2006 Definitely suit 3, but try putting 2 colors on the grippers.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bob.dino 0 #6 February 23, 2006 Be aware that red can bleed quite badly on screen if it's dubbed to VHS and shown on a TV. Not a problem if it's being put to DVD. edit: this definitely occurs with PAL, and I believe it's also a problem with NTSC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bob.dino 0 #8 February 23, 2006 Yes. It's a rel suit, and rel suits tend to get videoed and judged, and if the colour's bleeding it can be hard to judge if the grip is on or not. Which is why red grippers can be a bad idea. Just something to keep in mind if you start tweaking the design. For the record, I like option 3 best.

ZigZagMarquis 8 #9 February 23, 2006 Superman... yep... what bob.dino is saying is true, bright colors, like red, tend to bleed on video and this can become a factor in judging... I don't know of any instances where a team has been busted because of their jumpsuit color choices casued "bad video", thus, something un-judge-able, but I suppose it could happen. As for the camo version of suits you designed... I suppose they're kinda cool... but be advised, depending on where you jump with them... they may be viewed as "Bounce and Blend"...

rehmwa 2 #10 February 23, 2006 Do you plan to compete? If so, best to keep the back of the suit and the back half of the grippers black. Not a hard rule, but better for vid and judging. you can do whatever you want for the front. I like the simple color patterns you chose anyway - people tend to overdo it - their choice though. The camo is nice - in case you ever go in, your friends know not to bother looking for you until it's nice and bright out the next day. ...

I like the third one, but it might look better on video with grey on the booties instead of red, and maybe grey on the forearms, because the booties look a little out of place being the only thing different (besides grippers).
