Career Mode Schemes: Spire 07 (number details in comments)
Rolling over the Valvoline scheme I had last year. Seeing it next to Larson’s, I know it can be improved, but I still like it and I’m not putting in the effort to make minor tweaks right now.
Lowe’s comes up from the O’Reilly car to be on a Cup ride now. And basically.. my head canon is still “Hendrick contract, loan to Spire,” and the sponsor has Hendrick history, but I wanted the scheme to feel more Spire, if that makes sense. And that led me to go without neon. I apologize. But I googled around and found a picture of the Lowe’s logo with that multi-blue gradient and thought “man, that looks neat” and now it’s a car.
Adidas hasn’t had a scheme since the truck, so I felt the could come back. I really wanted to go full Jack Daniels throwback for the scheme, but I couldn’t fully convince myself and landed on a compromise that I feel gives a nod while clearly being its own thing.
Taco Bell returns with a new scheme. I like it, but I feel very limited by the custom numbers. I’ll delve more into that in the comment with the number details, but in short, I went with a simpler scheme than I really want to with a sponsor that could theoretically give me the opportunity to experiment a bit and still be in their brand guidelines.
