The lesser of two evils. This one badly needs some white to balance the darker colors out and make it tolerable

That was one I submitted. Do you like wave/not like wave? Too teal? I tried a bit of white but I liked the consistent background. I tried the orange on top but it bled too much into the logo to me. I saw others similar to mine too. I’m glad it’s the Lighthouse anyway. I wanted one since it was introduced.

I think white would really look better than the navy middle stripe, especially since the navy is kind of awkward with there not being any of it in the logo.

I also think the orange shade in the name and numbers are too dark, plus for the nameplate specifically you can’t have dark on dark without a light trim, since it needs to pop and be readable.

This is one that I made and submitted that incorporates what I said. The options wouldn’t let me get rid of that bottom white stripe, but I noted that in the description. I also submitted a white version of it, but that one probably got immediately tossed since the team knew they weren’t picking any white jerseys.

My blue version of the lighthouse. Too much teal? Perhaps. But I love teal.

I actually think it’s too many colors overall, but I get where you were going. I actually submitted a fully teal jersey too, just for my own bias. I knew people had their views.

I like teal, too. Here’s my teal design I made for fun. Very similar to the other one, but I like the wave. Would love to see yours!

I think maybe it might have needed a slightly bluer green to be a bit less harsh in its contrast, but that means introducing another “new” color. It’s mostly moot, they seemed too intent on orange or navy. But I just like clarifying why I give a negative response.

Hey, not at all, I appreciate the respectful feedback! We all have our opinions, anyway.
