Where'd you get the helmet template?

[bigmike]

You can download the helmet template here.

Okay so moving on, I have a Big East and a Big Ten team done, I'll show Michigan first.

Michigan Wolverines V.2

Michigan V.1

Home and Away Uniforms

Syracuse Orange

For Syracuse, I wanted to take elements from their Ernie Davis uniforms and combine them with elements from their present day uniforms. I kept the same helmet except the facemask is white, the jerseys have the same striping style from the Ernie Davis uni's but they are a little bit different. I added a white pair of pants with the Orange Alternates, they could be worn with white and blue jerseys also. The second alternate is a fauxback uniform replicating the Ernie Davis uniforms on the Pro Combat template.

These both look good to me. Not sure what Michigan fans would say about those jerseys, but I like them.

[GriffinM6]

Dude michigan is sick great job on these.

[Somppi]

I don't suppose you would do an Auburn one, would you?

[kbaker19]

I would make Syracuse's home jersey orange, since they are the Orange, but that's just me.

I like the Michigan idea, but I don't think it looks good on the road jersey.

I like them. One fan vote on the positive here. Though I'm not a fan of the yellow. It's a bit dark.

How about the Oklahoma Sooners?

[bigmike]

Okay I updated Michigan's yellow, didn't realize it was so gold and not maize. And since Oklahoma and Auburn were requested I went ahead and did them.

Oklahoma Sooners

I've done Oklahoma a couple times, and I always use the northwestern stripes from there throwbacks but this time I decided to try something different. I decided to add the double stripes from their basketball uniforms. I added some red pants, I kind of like how the Pro Combat striping works on this set because it makes it to where the uniforms don't have to always be monochrome to match.

Away Uniforms

Auburn Tigers

Next up is Auburn, every time I do Auburn I don't really add much to there set, but this time I wanted to really try something different, so I added some piping which was hard to mix with the sleeve stripes but I think I found a way to make it work. I also added the Tiger Eyes logo above the nameplate. I decided to go ahead and add a orange jersey and blue pants as well.

[ConnMann5]

I really like the navy concepts. Look similar to the special game unis they've been wearing big upgrade from the ones the usually wear.

[GriffinM6]

I think you need to keep the classic look for OU and Auburn,BTW any chance of doing a Miami one?

[Bmac]

Perfect modernization for Auburn. I wouldn't change a thing, great job!

[Somppi]

Great job on Auburns, I like how you put their tiger eyes logo on there (I don't see why they dont use it all all).

[cameroncrazie07]

Great job on these, I really like the Syracuse throwbacks.

[bigmike]

Thanks for the comments guys, I'm going to be doing Colorado and Miami next so stay tuned!

And Somppi, you are right, despite the fact I hate Auburn, I've really grown to love that logo, my high school uses it in our colors (black and gold). Auburn actually threatened to sue last year so we can't use it on the field anymore or anything like that but its still on our basketball uniforms. The funny thing is that we are the Bearcats not the Tigers, and our biggest rival is nicknamed the Tigers and they copy Alabama's logos and football uniforms.

The wings on the Michigan jerseys are ten different kinds of win.

Colorado Buffaloes

So I had this idea for awhile, I was looking around on teambuilder the other day and noticed the helmet that Colorado wore for their 1930's throwback set. It is a very unique helmet featuring Buffalo horns so I took that and used it. I used a gold helmet with black horns and facemask, the uniforms are the 1990's throwbacks they have been wearing at home, they look much better these. I went with the current font for the Wordmark, Numbers, and NOB, just went with plain gold pants and the logo on the side. And finally I added the 1937 fauxback uniform, I tried replicating it a lot better then nike actually did a couple seasons ago, I think the original set had brown but I decided just to keep it black for consistency.

Fauxback Uniforms

I'll do Miami next since they were requested, I'll probably just do a tweak of my last concept for them though (see Top 25 concepts if you want to see last concept), and I'll probably do someone else with them, I'm not sure who though.

[Brave-Bird 08]

I used to hate the idea of combining traditional stripes with piping on jerseys...

...until I saw a local high school under armor team with both combined, and i loved it.

I'd kill to see Auburn wear that uniform in real life. I think i'd be great.

[mbannon92]

Then it wouldn't be a concept.

I LOVE what you did with Oklahoma...I always thought their basketball unis were really cool. Auburn looks good as well, and I like Colorado's helmet and the '90s look on the unis. My only suggestion would be to flip the buffalo on Colorado's pants, so it's facing forward, and make it black. I think it would pop a lot more.

[Kevin W.]

I really like Colorado's normal helmet, but the gold horned helmet works too.
