NFL Concepts by honeybadger: Browns and Cowboys

[honeybadger]

I've been messing around in paint making concepts for the past few weeks ,but I decided I wouldn't post any of them until i had learned how to bring them to life in photoshop.First up are Cleveland and Dallas:

Very nice for a first time out!

Love the sort of vintage look you've got going on for Cleveland. Not a fan of the brown pants with the brown jersey, but that's a matter of mixing and matching different combos. The brown pants do need some kind of stripe, though. I like the effect of the shoulder yoke running into the sleeves on the brown and orange jerseys. I'd like to see that continued on the white jersey, though; that one just looks too out of place without it.

With Dallas, you've got to just pick one shade of blue and one shade of silver, and stick with them throughout. Not a fan of the two-tone numbers, or the pants stripe with the two blues. They're not different enough to pull off the same effect as Tennessee or the Toronto Argonauts have going on.

Wow. Browns look both classic and modern; something about the shoulder yoke (properly done) reminds me of leatherheads and gridlines. And I kind of like that the white doesn't have a contrasting yoke like the brown and orange jerseys. A nice design quirk.

Hopefully their 2015 re-design looks more of this and less Tampa Bay.

These designs are interesting. Way to think outside the box.

I think the Browns' cream numbers and white pants will clash badly if they ever would be worn together. Either give them cream pants or go with white numbers and stripes.

Do look closely about the details before posting your concepts and make sure they match. First of all, try to fix the issue of the colors on your 2D template not being the same as your 3D template. This is especially apparent with the Browns. Also, the white Browns' jersey's striping isn't quite consistent. The 2D template shows the beginning of a third stripe, but the 3D template shows only two stripes. The numbers are most noticeable, though. In the 2D template, the numbers are way too small for a football jersey. Then they are huge and stretched out on the 3D template. There is no way you could get another number on the 3D template. But to go back to my original point, they don't match at all. On both the Cowboys and the Browns the 3D template's numbers are twice as big as on the 2D template.

If you fix some of these inconsistencies, I think it will really help your presentation and, thus, how your concepts are viewed.

Numbers are too small on the 2D templates and too big on the 3D template, also for the blue cowboys jersey the number isn't 2 toned on the 3D template like it is on the 2D

First off welcome, very nice introductory post into your work! The biggest nitpick I have with the Browns is the combination of Cream/White, if used together the cream will just look dirty opposed to the 'vintage' look you're looking for IMHO. So picking one or the other would help that set out. The other issue I have with both sets is that the numbers are too small on the flat (2d) template, too large on the Browns 3d mockup, and too vertically stretched on the Cowboys 3d mockup. Fixing those things will make this concept much better!

I like what you did with the shoulder color that comes over onto the sleeve. I haven't seen that before. Also, where'd you get the template?

Awesome, thanks!

Something about the Brown/brown that I like. A single white stripe down the leg would look good. Your Brown color is off though. Looks too greenish.

The Cowboys current uniforms are nigh untouchable. They're pretty much perfect.
