  1. It does look nice! And I agree, certainly a more fitting B10 look. But I will say Michigan looks so good that they can help make just about any uniform match-up palatable. Best uniforms in football.
  2. I'll be the contrarian and choose B. Black is a school color, so it doesn't feel BFBS to me. The over-designed aspects are muted and aren't too in-your-face like they are in A. The gold and red provide nice contrast against the black. Not a perfect uniform by any means, but I like the overall aesthetic. I'll take it as an alternate. While I also like a lot of throwbacks, and love helmet scripts, I didn't care much for the original design of D. Particularly the asymmetric coloring of the sleeve stripes, and the lack of gold on the helmet and pants. The striping patterns don't necessarily need to match, but the different elements do not feel cohesive. This might be my favorite Maryland look. They need to tone down the flag elements they use, but I still prefer Maryland in modern/edgy form. s
  3. While the actual weight of the numbers seems fine, the added lines make the numbers look kind of fat, for lack of a better word. For example, I see the top of the 9 as a beer belly hanging out. Maybe inflated would be a better term.
  4. Thanks! TV numbers have been added. Good call on the TV numbers. I had to shrink the stripe to get everything to fit, so there is a lot going on up there now. I may need to come up with an alternate angle or something for the pant stripe since there's not a good way to see it with the way I'm presenting it. This is what I had in mind though -- Good thought, and I had something that would have looked closer to that initially. I may revisit this later to see if I can improve on the shoulder design. For now, here's the update I have. Alternate white look -- Likely will be moving on to the next team from here -- either the Bucs, Chargers, or Rams.
  5. Thanks! And I agree with your take here. I almost went with a blue/red stripe to match what I have on the shoulders instead, but ended up settling on what they've been using. Here's an alternate idea I've been playing with on if they were to ditch the silver. I am afraid these colors with stars and stripes might be putting off too much Evel Knievel vibes though.
  6. Moving on to the Patriots. I liked the symbolism from this 'unofficial' flag of New England featuring 6 stars for the 6 New England states. Patriots also have 6 Super Bowl trophies now, so it seemed like an interesting time to put more emphasis on the 6 states of New England. I used the star pattern on the sleeves. I started with the color rush striping pattern, but ultimately moved away from it as it made the shoulders feel too busy next to the star pattern. I prefer the silver pants for New England as I feel the navy pants makes this too bottom heavy. However, they look more like the Patriots here. Thoughts?
  7. Thanks for the suggestion! I think it looks great. Thoughts?
  8. Here it is with an outline. I kinda liked it with the brown TV numbers -- it reminds me of the Ohio State alternates.
  9. Somehow that thought never crossed my mind. Great point.
  10. Here's what it looks like with cream numbers. I wasn't sure if there was enough contrast between the cream and orange, and it may need an outline like @chcarlson23 suggests. I'd like to keep it consistent with the other jerseys though, which would mean outlines on all 3 jerseys. Also, I put together a brown pants and cream sock option for the away set. Yes, might be getting a little crazy here, but... MONO. CREAM.
  11. Here's the full set. I avoided brown pants. I also went with brown numbers on the alternate, as the cream on orange didn't have much contrast.
  12. Here's an update. Lightened the brown and removed the number outlines. I think that helped quite a bit, as now it feels much more like the Cleveland Browns. Thanks!
  13. Thanks! I will lighten the brown before completing the full set.
  14. Updated the sleeve design to the more traditional look. Thoughts @jp1409? Also, I've added TV numbers. I've updated the helmet bumper to the NFL standard white, and added "Browns" across it. I suppose I might ought to also make the chinstrap white as well for accuracy. I wanted to finalize the design here before making the away and alternate. I will work on getting those posted for a complete set later in the week.
  15. I've started the second team -- the Cleveland Browns. Will put together an away, and an orange alternate as well. Here's a preview!
  16. Thank you! Great feedback. Placing the numbers correctly gave me some trouble and they never quite looked right to me either. I will try to clean that up with the next set. I could definitely see how a more angular font may have paired better here. I tried going with a more traditional block look in an effort to tone down the "edginess," if you will. I prefer a more traditional look from Atlanta, so it was my attempt at blending the two styles. Also, I don't know that I've actually mentioned this, but the striping pattern on the shoulder was pulled directly from the wings of the logo. If you flip the logo around, you can kind of see it.
  17. Good point. And I just wanted to say I noticed you made the 960,000th post on this board. Congrats bro!
  18. Thank you! I appreciate the feedback from everyone to get me to try it with a red helmet. I didn't think I'd like it as much as the black helmet, but I think I actually prefer the red lid over the black after comparing the two. Now, I'm thinking of switching gears and making this a series. It'd be my takes on the changes coming around the league this offseason as @oldschoolvikings has done. I'll update the thread title once I post the next team. You can expect the Chargers, Bucs, Rams, Patriots, Browns to be coming at some point this offseason. If I'm still going strong with this after that, I will work towards completing the league.
  19. Here's an update of sorts. I've darkened the red to more closely resemble this new wordmark. Also, used the 'ATL' in Atlanta as the helmet bumper, and 'Falcons' as the new chest wordmark. I've also added a metallic red helmet as a variation of the original set.
  20. I appreciate the C&C everyone! I'll likely revisit this when the new uniforms (and potentially logos) are revealed with an update. For now, I thought I'd come up with a variation of what I've got so far. My personal favorite was the black set, so I've based the rest of the set on them. Each uniform now has gray pants. (Note: I'm calling them gray, as I don't think the color is quite silver, and I'd like to let the Raiders own black and silver.) I thought the red gloves and shoes feel like something Nike would do to highlight their product, as red tends to flash against black and gray. I also think it helps differentiate from the Raiders a bit more, while maintaining the overall black/gray aesthetic. Home Alternate Away Do you think the gray pants work with this version of the red jersey? Or am I forcing it? I tried gray numbers on the red jersey, but I didn't feel there was enough contrast. Instead, I replaced the white stripe on the shoulder with a gray stripe to try to tie them together. Thoughts?
  21. Great point, thanks! Looks like the home and alternate would follow this pattern, but the away would either need the white socks with the current pant stripe, (option 4), or I'd need to swap the order of the red and white stripes on the black pants.
  22. Thanks! This is something I've been building for a while now, and am modifying it as I go. It's not currently set up as a template that'd actually work for anyone else since there is no real order to these layers. To give you an idea on how scrambled it is, there are currently 936 individual layers, and the file size in Photoshop is currently 5.28 GB. If I ever get it to a point where I feel it would be a great tool for someone, I'd be willing to share. It's just not there yet.
