  1. Yeah, I agree that the Packers need to go back to their real font. It was worth a shot, but it just didn't work out. So here is the final take on the Packers. As for the Bears, their current font never really worked for them in my opinion. It's just a matter of personal preference though, but block font seemed to make more sense for them which is why I went with it in the OG concept. It was one of the harder things to get right and I'm not fully satisfied with the end result. So I messed around with it some more and might have found something that works better. Here's two variations on the Bears, the current font on the left, and a new rounded font on the right. And for the Lions, I just didn't have much inspiration to make something vastly different to what they already wear. I don't think their font is that bad though, and it seems to be the only thing bringing some personality into the uniforms. In my opinion a block font would make them look much more bland.
  2. Here are the last of the concepts I've fully completed so far. It's the entire NFC North. GREEN BAY PACKERS When Green Bay introduced their 'G' logo in 1961, the original proposal was for it to be shaped like a football. Now I've got nothing to say against the roundel they went with, but I do like the idea of the football shaped 'G' a lot. And that's what inspired me to try my hand at making this logo. As for the uniforms, the big difference is switching to a rounded font. This isn't a change that I'm a hundred percent sure on, but it always seemed to me that it made sense to go this route given the rounded nature of their logo. The other big change is bringing the full sleeve stripes back. The Saints throwbacks showed it's doable on the current template, so this would also mean a switch to Nike made uniforms. MINNESOTA VIKINGS The Vikings have a very solid set of uniforms, but there are a few details that have bugged me for a long time. The first one is that the stripes on the white pants didn't match the striping on the white jersey, which created an ugly mismatch whenever they went for a full white uniform. I've ditched black accents from the uniforms as well, so the facemask and the horns' outline are purple now. Also, the font has been trimmed. On top of all of that, I've added some striping to the socks. CHICAGO BEARS I've always liked the striping on Chicago's away uniform much better than the one on the home set. So making a navy jersey with the away type of shoulder stripe was the main idea. The design also uses the font from their throwback uniforms. DETROIT LIONS The Lions already look pretty good, so with this design I simply tried to bring some white into the home shirt. Also, the different signs on each shoulder somewhat bothered me, so I've moved the 'WCF' patch to the chest.
  3. Non taken. You guys have through enough. It's best not to open old wounds by changing anything.
  4. I don't know why I typed in North Carolina, It was always meant to be Carolina Panthers. Thanks for spotting it, I've fixed the mistake now. As for the Bucs pants, I feel like more colors make them too busy and break the balance of the uniform as a whole. And for the Panthers I liked the idea of keeping the consistency of the shoulder panel outlined in silver on all three uniforms. This thought then extended to the pants so that mixing and matching between the uniforms would be easier (This didn't apply to the silver pants for obvious reasons).
  5. Today's group of concepts includes the Buccaneers, the Panthers and the Saints. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS Tampa went back to their classic look in 2020 and although it was the right move, they should have modified them a bit. As great as they are, they do look very much like they were designed in the late 90s. So I tried to clean and modernize them up a bit. I've simplified the pants, changed the font and added a full collar. As for the alternate, an orange uniform seemed like the obvious choice. It was difficult to make it work, but the end result seems decent enough. CAROLINA PANTHERS I tried to refresh their current look a little bit. For the numbers I tried to make a font that would match their wordmark. In the end it's a sleek and modern take on their classic look. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS Not breaking any new ground with this one, just feel like it works well for them.
  6. New day, new pack of uniforms. On the schedule today are the Texans, the Jaguars and the Colts. HOUSTON TEXANS The logo draws inspiration from the head of a cattle branding iron, a Texas staple. The whole identity is meant to be clean, while conveying a level of toughness. I'm also aware that having two navy uniforms is redundant, but I feel like the full navy uni works well as an alternate. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS I like Jacksonville's current uniforms, but they don't seem to invoke what I would consider the classic Jaguars identity well enough. I set out to fix that through adding some more gold all around, and changing the white uniforms numbers to teal. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS Some minor tweaks, mainly the blue facemask and the double stripe on the helmets.
  7. @8BW14 Something like this? Honestly, because I like what they already have so much I was hesitant to go too far from what they already have. But you were right. It does look better with the matching numbers.
  8. Those were all of the fully completed divisions so far. With that in mind, here's two AFC West teams: Chiefs and Chargers. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS Kansas has an iconic look that has stood the test of time. However, I don't think time was too kind on their logo. Although I don't mind it that much, it's an area of their identity that could use some work. I've made a new logo for them, one that fits better with the rest of their look. It aims to clean up the old logo, while keeping true to its core. As for the uniforms, I really like their real set. The ones I made were simply made for changes sake, I had already made a logo so I figured why not throw in some uniforms as well. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS In 2020 the Chargers unveiled what would become my favorite uniforms in the league. They did look like they lacked something though, and In my mind it's the shoulder numbers. I've also ditched the number outlines. So those are the only changes i'd make for the Chargers. They're small tweaks, but work better in my opinion.
  9. On to the NFC East. DALLAS COWBOYS Dallas is one of those teams that seem to have multiple identities when it comes to their look. None of their uniforms share any elements and the main color on their white uniforms is royal blue even though they use navy as their primary color everywhere else. So I set out to hopefully bring it all together into a coherent unit. Starting of with potentially a controversial decision, I decided to tweak their logo. The idea is to have both the navy and royal blue coexist instead of every uniform using exclusively one of them like they do now. The same principle applies to the uniforms. White would continue being their primary uniform, while either navy or royal blue set would be used for the rest of the games, depending on the matchup. NEW YORK GIANTS I like their throwbacks quite a lot, so I used them as a base for this set. WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM I genuinely love the WFT name. It's a shame they've decided to move on from it, but since this isn't real world, I'm keeping the name. It's simple and traditional and I've kept the same spirit with the uniforms. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES The Eagles uniforms are quite well designed, but they do show their age. I prefer their current colors over the kelly green era, so that's what I went with. It did prove to be quite a difficult color scheme to work with, and I'm not very high on the final design. Since I'd already finished all other teams in their division, I included the Eagles as well but I'll probably revisit them sometime in the future. This is what I'm going with for now though.
  10. Regarding the stripes on the socks, I agree. I was torn between including them and not including them, because they looked somewhat weird when I was looking at them in photoshop. Seeing the images in a browser though I could see they were needed. so I went back and edited the original posts for the Browns, Bills and Dolphins to include the stripes. As for the shirt/pants/socks color combos, all of the pants and socks are meant to be used with all of the shirts. They are simply presented like this for practicality reasons and aren't meant to be the only combos used. And finally, on to the suggestions. The Browns do need a white pair of pants. The reason they weren't included is because I couldn't figure out how to present them well on this template. I figured another brown jersey would have been redundant, and a pair of floating pants on the right side of the image felt weird. So I ditched them in favor of the two pairs I prefer, however I do wish to see them in use, so here they are. The Patriots could use a pair of silver pants, so here they are. And lastly, the Jets helmet color. Given that I tried to stay within the 'one helmet rule', the black helmet seemed to work the best for all the jersey colors. It's just personal preference though, so here's what a green helmet could look like.
  11. Next up is the AFC East. NEW YORK JETS In my opinion the Jets ditching all jet imagery from their identity was a mistake, so I'm bringing it back. A redesigned logo and a modern set of uniforms is what I went with. The Jets never really had uniforms that were iconic while also looking great, so they feel like a solid candidate to try something new out. I've made black a major part of their color scheme, while also including jets as a design element on the uniforms and helmets. A look that would probably be due for change after a few years of usage, but still a fun design for the time being. BUFFALO BILLS Buffalo already has some great looking uniforms, so this redesign isn't a radical change. All I've made are slight changes that make the design flow better imo. MIAMI DOLPHINS The one thing that any Dolphins logo has to have is a dolphin jumping in front of a sun. I don't like their current logo a lot, so I made my own. The uniforms are pretty standard and I'm not quite satisfied with them, so as always suggestions are welcome. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS Small changes, mainly changing the coloring of the stripes on the away uniform.
  12. At the beginning of the season I got in the mood to do redesigns of some NFL teams, and slowly but surely I've completed almost the entire league. Given that the season is coming to it's end, I figured now would be the right time to start posting the teams I've finished. Since some of the teams were done quite some time ago, some players have already moved to different teams. So just ignore that, we're all here for the concepts anyways . First up are the AFC North and NFC West teams. CINCINNATI BENGALS Let's start with the AFC North and the Super Bowl bound Bengals. I've always felt that their previous uniforms had a lot of potential and just needed some cleaning up to look great. So inspired by them this is what I came up with. BALTIMORE RAVENS The Ravens have a pretty solid look irl but it is does look quite dated. This tries to make it more modern, while still maintaining the general feel of the current set. Obviously the pants and socks are interchangeable between uniforms. Along with a new logo. PITTSBURGH STEELERS Steelers look is already close to perfect. The only thing that's bugged me about it are the slanted numbers on the uniforms and making them upright is the only change I've done. I also love their 1966 uniforms, so I'd like to see them brought back as throwbacks. CLEVELAND BROWNS The Browns already did most of the job for me by bringing back their classic look last year. However they made the odd decision to use a font that's both rounded and block, so I've changed it to a block font. Also, a slight stripe coloring change. That's the AFC North wrapped up, on to the NFC West. LOS ANGELES RAMS Might as well start with the other team in the Super Bowl. Their uniform change last year was quite underwhelming , so I tried to see if I could tweak it to my liking. The logo would revert to the previously used one. ARIZONA CARDINALS Their current look is painfully outdated, so here's my take on the Cardinals. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS To be honest 49ers have already nailed it. I don't want to see anything changed about their look, so it stays the same. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS The uniforms that the Seahawks have worn for the past decade have done a great job at establishing what the 'look' of the Seahawks should be going forward. But a decade later they are showing their age, so I tried to make something that is based of the current look but could be worn for the foreseeable future. Well that's it for today. Hope you like it and there's plenty more to come.
