Longhorns Concept

[Robert89]

Uniforms to come soon, as soon as I can find a good template to be able to use in Illustrator.

C&C Appreciated.

you mad the orange too bright. They use burnt orange. Like a mix of brown and orange.

Ummm...That is the exact color they use. I got it off of a website, already in vector form, so I didn't change anything. So you must have your colors mixed up.

trust me....M&L is right. This whole town is done up in burnt orange, and it's darker than what you're using. Tilt the logo back on the helmet a little too.

[Lumbergh]

yeah, maybe you should check with pantone to get the exact numbers.

DUDE.... that looks more like TENNESSEE orange.

However, I did some quick searching and it appears that all of the UT web sites use different oranges, though the color, in person, is clearly a BURNT ORANGE.

[Robert89]

How's this?

[Lumbergh]

a little better, maybe burn it a litle more

[Robert89]

Too dark?

[nwtrailtrekker]

i really cant tell the difference, but it doesnt look like you changed much.

[Lumbergh]

maybe pm pantone for their officail colors, i don't see a difference at all

HUH?

"PM the user PANTONE to see what it is officially, however I still don't see a difference."

Two major D-I schools use exclusively orange and white as their school colors. Both wear white helmets with school-color logos.

Their colors are distinctive and don't look that much like each other... EXCEPT when you add elements from one school's look to the other school, then mess up the other school's colors.

The center stripe is going to trigger a slew of "this looks like Tennessee" comments, even if you had gotten the Texas color right... which it isn't. So why put it in there if it's just going to make the 2 distinctive looks come closer together?

Rather than relying on the Texas web sites, you'd do better finding the official color listings, either through the school or someone who'd know. For what it's worth, it's more a rust color than just darkening the orange you're using. Almost like the colors of the rocks in the desert. You're getting closer with each recoloring.

And the head needs to be angled back. If that helmet was positioned so that it looked the way it did when worn, that cow is listing to the front of the helmet.

It's official, trust me. You'd be surprised how easy some things are to find.

[andrewharrington]

Everything looks a little different in real life, though. Usually darker.

EDIT. See photo differences below.

[Robert89]

This is going to sound so retarded, but, is my colors in the last one correct?

[andrewharrington]

It is to be noted that Gerald Riggs' jersey is wet in the above right picture, so it appears darker than normal. Here's how they look in more neutral conditions.

If you used PANTONE 159 from the swatches library in Illustrator, then yes, it's right. If not, then there's about a one in a million chance that you estimated exactly correct on the RGB or CMYK values.

I didn't use the RGB or CMYK values. I used PANTONE solid coated swatches
