Western Michigan Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 This is my first time sharing any of my work on this board, so it'd be grand if you guys could just indulge me here. a. I definitely made the sleeve patch too big.b. I didn't look at their current uniforms to see if they had similarities. I have no idea what any MAC teams' actual uniforms look like, so hopefully they appear different than my concepts.c. I will be unveiling the rest of the teams as I make them, so expect a new team to be up in a matter of hours or maybe a matter of days.Here we go, the first team of my Mid-American Conference set...

AnythingChicago Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 U LYK?Yes. The concept flows well; the scripts and logos work and the Padres font is a good choice here, too. My only suggestions are:A. Downsize the MAC logo.B. Downsize the front numbers.Other than that, I think you're good. 8/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll downsize those for the next teams I do. I also thought the Akron greys were too plain, so I'm going to add a little bit of piping to the sleeves.

Western Michigan Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 Team #2The Ball State Cardinals- Downsized the Conference sleeve logo- Downsized the front numbersI'm in love with that script on the white uniforms, by the way. It turned out awesome.Home - Basic whiteAway - Basig GreyAlternate Home or Away - RedThoughts? Which do you like better, Ball State or Akron?

Western Michigan Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 Team #3The Buffalo BullsHome - White PinstripesBlue - Away and Home altAlternate - Powder blue Home or Away - Something different. Little bit of a throwback feel with the powder blue. This is either going to be a hit or miss. You'll either like it, or dislike it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Akron and Ball State need wordmarks, logos, and numbers reduced to a resonable size. Buffalo's look good size-wise as far as numbers, etc. The light blue jersey just does not fit with the rest of the set. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvko Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Akron: The white script would get completely lost in the pinstripes of the home. Color it in.Ball State: Please line up the logo and the number.Buffalo: I don't think the "UB" matches well with the beveled numbers. Maybe bevel the logo? Cool alt though You know what they say, "Traditionalist's can go die in a hole if they don't like it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I feel like the cardinal head logo or B/cardinal head logo would be better on the caps for Ball State. At least match the fonts of the Bs. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Western Michigan Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 I feel like the cardinal head logo or B/cardinal head logo would be better on the caps for Ball State. At least match the fonts of the Bs.I don't really like teams with the logos of mascots on their hats. I much prefer letters to a logo, as I feel that it gives off a more traditional baseball vibe. But I definitely will try to make the B longer to match up with the logo. Thanks for pointing that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, I hadn't thought about that.2. Both the logos and the numbers on the chest? Or do you mean to point out that I got lazy on the grey uniforms and made the number on the front too high? Hah.3. Yeah it was a shot in the dark with the bevel, I just kind of wanted to keep things fresh and different. I didn't really want 12 teams with basically the same concepts. I'm glad you like the alternate! It was just something I thought of and ran with, and I'm pretty sure they used that font on their basketball uniforms in the 2000's.

Made those adjustments on the Buffalo one, because I thought that going back and resizing them would be somewhat of a waste of time, and by keeping the Akron and Ball State ones as is, it shows my progress, as these are the first concepts I am sharing with the board.As for everyone, I really appreciate the constructive feedback, and hope you continue to see what I come up with for the rest of the conference.

walkerws Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 On the Central Michigan one, you need to space out your numbers better. They're touching so that would be a pain to sew on. The MAC patch is still a little too big. I like the nod to old 20's 30's baseball with the colored collar and the contrasting letter at the middle.

Guess I should learn how to space them out a little. I originally had the MAC patch smaller, but I thought it was too small so I made it just a bit bigger. Do you think Buffalo's patch is a good size? Thanks for the feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvko Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Yeah, the numbers are a bit close, but this is definitely your best yet You know what they say, "Traditionalist's can go die in a hole if they don't like it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerws Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 The size of the MAC patch on Buffalo's is probably about hte right size. Not much bigger if iat all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
