lcgreig03 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 A bit of background for those interested. This is a project I've spend the better part of a year working on. I was inspired when I stumbled upon the Jesse Alkire NFL redesign on BleacherReport a while back (http://www.jessealkire.com/nfl/) I am a huge NFL fan and had been doing art my whole life, but redesigning every team's uniforms had never occurred to me until I found that link. I was challenged a few of my friends to try and do this myself and I loved the idea. A quick search quickly led my to the boards here, where I found many concepts I liked way more than the ones I had found on BleacherReport. And so I spent even more time working on my own concepts, working and reworking them until I was happy enough to post them here and see how they hold up. I've been browsing the concept boards here for a while and only just joined, and I hope you guys enjoy my concepts!These are hand drawn because I enjoy drawing and am much better at it than using computer programs. I ask only that you guys don't pay too much attention to shades of colors, because I used sharpies for the most part and they don't have very much variation between shades. One quick note as well, the template I am using is not hand drawn, I printed it from the boards here (from mattwilcox) with my uniforms drawn onto the printed concepts. I am also trying something I haven't seen very often which is images of players in my uni concepts as they would appear on the field in addition to the uniforms themselves. I will get started with a preview, showing every team's helmets. I will follow up shortly with my Arizona Cardinals concept. I hope you guys enjoy!UPDATED AS I GO:Arizona - Home, Away, Away Alternate, ThrowbackAtlanta - Home, Away, AlternateBaltimoreBuffaloCarolinaChicago - Home, Away, ThrowbackCincinnati - Home, Away, ThrowbackCleveland - Home, Home Alt, Away, Away Alt, AlternateDallas - Primary, Secondary, AlternateDenver - Home, Away, AlternateDetroit - Home, Away, Away Alt, ThrowbackGreen Bay - Home, Away, ThrowbackHoustonIndianapolis - Home, AwayJacksonvilleKansas CityMiami - Home, Away, Away Alternate, AlternateMinnesotaNew EnglandNew Orleans - Home, Home Alt, Home Alt 2, Away, Away Alt, Away Alt 2New York GiantsNew York JetsOaklandPhiladelphiaPittsburgh - Home, Away, ThrowbackSan Diego - Home, Away, ThrowbackSan Francisco - Home, AwaySeattle - Home, Home Alt, Away, Away Alt, AlternateSt. LouisTampa BayTennesseeWashington - Home, Away Hand Drawn NFL Redesign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoyolaProp1 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 That Jesse Alkire set is still my favorite concept set I've ever seen on any sport. I'm excited to see what you post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcgreig03 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 First up is my Arizona Cardinals. Their uniforms have potential but they're not great, and don't stack up to other uniforms in the team's long history. The numbers remain unchanged and the black outlines remain on them and the pants stripe, which is straight now instead of tapered. A black stripe is also added to the socks. The piping on the jerseys is gone, and logos are added to the sleeves, a different one on each sleeve. The state flag is a callback to the away jerseys from the Jake Plummer era, which is one of my favorite uniforms of all time, while the team logo is placed on the other sleeve. The red sleeves on the away jersey are gone and the awful red pants are no longer an option for them. On the black alternate, red cuffs and a white facemask are added to give the team a modern looking third option that is miles better than the current alternate they have right now.And now for the on field looks.UPDATE: Red pants added as an option for the white jersey.And to show you guys the size, the paper with Tyrann Mathieu is 8/1/2"x11" with my hand and the uniform next to it to give you an idea of the size of what I'm doing.

STL_ArchMadness Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 all I can say is wow....one of the best hand-drawn series I've ever seen. The on field drawing are blowing my mind http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/98633-2014-nfl-concept-expansion-series-dallas-cowboys/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clintau24 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Wow. I'm not usually into the hand drawn series, but these are already so well done. I love that you take the time to add different views, not just going with the template. Interested to see what else you have planned! "I believe in Auburn and love it!"

pitt6pack Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I like the update to the Cardinals, its a good simple look that fits the Cardinals well. The on-field looks are outstanding, and they really add another dimension to the concept.

FALCON6 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Wow. those are some pretty great drawings. and great unis too. Good simplification for AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTswag187 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 when I first saw these concepts I wasn't too much of a fan, but after seeing it in the on the field looks, the Cards need these immediately. One thing I would change is I would get rid of the flag on the sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperThin Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Wow, I love these. I love the idea of the flag on one sleeve and the cardinal on the other, fantastic job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kansas sports fan Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 When I first saw these I didn't see the title and had I not seen the title pretty quickly I would have probably taken about 5 minutes tho figure out that these are hand-drawn. This tells you how good your ability to draw with your hands is. Looks good I really like the update to the Cardinals and LOVE how well the in-game figures look. Acts 16:31 - And they replied: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, you and your household."John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life."John 14:6 - Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MellowTheMyth Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I, along with what others have said, believe this to be one of the best hand-drawn concepts to date. I really like that you kept it simple for Arizona. Very excited to see this series continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
