nate.sweitz Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Hey guys! With the 2018 season quickly approaching, I'm going to start posting a series that I've been working on since before I knew this place existed. For each NFL franchise, I've created a new uniform and logo set. Some are simply modernizations of classic looks, while others will be more radical changes. The vector template I'm using is a combination of parts from a few existing templates that I modified to fit the appearance of andrewharrington's incredible template. After I've posted all the teams using the 2D template, I'll be presenting them division-by-division using a realistic 3D presentation I created myself. Until then, I'll be putting out my concepts in no particular order. I've got designs together 28 of the 32 teams so far. Most of them were created over the course of this summer. I'm starting college in a few days so I wanted to get as much work done as I could while I still had the time. AFC East Buffalo Bills - update Miami Dolphins - update New England Patriots New York Jets North Baltimore Ravens - update Cincinnati Bengals - orange helmet Cleveland Browns Pittsburgh Steelers South Houston Texans Indianapolis Colts Jacksonville Jaguars Tennessee Titans - update West Denver Broncos Kansas City Chiefs - update Las Vegas Raiders Los Angeles Chargers NFCEast Dallas Cowboys New York Giants Philadelphia Eagles - update Washington Redskins North Chicago Bears - alternate take - update - presentation Detroit Lions - presentation Green Bay Packers - presentation Minnesota Vikings - presentation South Atlanta Falcons Carolina Panthers - update New Orleans Saints - alternate take Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Creamsicle West Arizona Cardinals Los Angeles Rams San Francisco 49ers Seattle Seahawks First up is the Cincinnati Bengals, inspired by their color-rush uniform's block font and emphasis on white. The helmet design, which more accurately depicts the way the striping on a tiger's head actually works, is borrowed from a concept I've seen floating around for a few years. It's such a good idea that I built the rest of the team's visual identity around it. The number font is a custom block font I built. It's very similar to the one the Jaguars just released, but that was after I had already finished this concept. For the logo, I wanted to make a more aggressive, snarling cat with a lot of movement. Pretty happy with the way it turned out! Enjoy! C+C is greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soflo_sports Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I second GT, everything about this is perfect, but the helmets should always be orange for the Bengals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pHiL Kizer Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 THIS IS FIRE!!!!!!!!! SUPERB WORK!!! I would LOOOOVE to see Cincinnati upgrade to these immediately!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavybass Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Well one of the Ohio teams would need to go White at some point.... it was either Cleveland or Cincinnati and the Bengals would have to go White at some point. It's pretty good "thumbs up" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate.sweitz Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 Here's a version with the helmet colors flipped for the orange fans out there. I like this look too, but if you squint it just looks like the Browns. I'm using the white helmet to differentiate between the two teams. Next up is the Minnesota Vikings! My idea here was to marry their current identity with their late 90's/early 00's look, with consistent striping all the way around. The logo is a modern interpretation of the classic Hubenthal Norseman. C+C appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky1324 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Excellent work! I love the white helmets for the Bengals and the two new logos are fantastic. I really don't have any suggestions, just keep up the good work! the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Section30 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Love the Vikings, the logo is great, the jersey looks bare without the Vikings wordmark though Minnesota Amateur Hockey League MAHL Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seasaltvanilla Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Um the striping on the purple pants does not match the white pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simtek34 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Nice concept! I’m not really feeling the Noresman Logo, but besides that, great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The striping isn’t the same pattern but it’s still consistent. The striping goes white-purple-yellow-purple in all formats. There are a lot of different ways to achieve striping consistency, this is just a way you don’t see all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krz Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 It looks almost blue to me, more purple please Excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefridge15 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I think you can still incorporate white into the Bengals helmet and have it match what tiger stripes look like by fading the orange to white at the bottom of the helmet. It doesn't have to be a gradual fade either (which wouldn't look great). The actually fade at the bottom of the tiger is not that gradual either, but that's where the motivation of the orange to white fade comes from.

I think it looks off above Diggs' 14 so I'm leaving it off of this concept, but it might make its way into the final.

Either way, I'm not that concerned about it, cause in real life it would look different in every photo anyway.

The actually fade at the bottom of the tiger is not that gradual either, but that's where the motivation of the orange to white fade comes from. I tried it out. The helmet looks great on its own but it doesn't fit as well with the rest of the uniforms. Good suggestion though! Next up is the Baltimore Ravens. This one's a little unconventional. I'm going for a dark, gothic look for B-more, complete with a shimmering, art deco take on raven feathers for the shoulders. The raven's eye and the swooshes have a yellow-red gradient, a reference to the colors of the Maryland flag. Pants and socks could be mixed and matched. They'd probably go monochrome once at home and at least once on the road over the course of the season. The font is an adjusted version of 'Avenged for Yourself'. It's definitely not your standard block, but I think its perfect for a modern gothic look. C+C is greatly appreciated. Happy Labor Day everyone!

sky1324 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Baltimore is amazing. The red/yellow gradient is an excellent way to incorporate the flag without randomly stuffing it everywhere. That purple jersey is a thing of beauty! The only think I might change is maybe making the helmet stripe purple? I don't know how well that would work, but it might be worth trying.

HoopsCoach55 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I agree that a purple helmet stripe might be best, maybe using the feather pattern? Also, perhaps a black stripe/yoke on the pants and jerseys for the feather pattern to keep that purple to black look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
