My hometown Akron Zips!

 

Pros:

• Returning to a proper primary logo on the helmet is much needed. I think the full body Zippy could also work here but the A+Roo is great.
• Zippy on the collar is a great touch so I'm glad you kept it.
• The font choices work well. For a lot of teams out there, the attempts to make their logos look like their zooming by seems silly and forced. But the Zips are called the Zips, so it has always made sense.
• While I'm not a big fan of the new stripe they've been using, you definitely improved it with some color & consistent application.

Con(s):

• Can't say I'm fond of the OKC-style stripes. I agree they may work better if more pronounced. Another possible tweak would be making the shift in the middle of the stripe (and perhaps just doing the one rather than zig there and zag back). Maybe even making the break diagonal so it feels more Z-like?

Thank you! All the pros you have is exactly what I wanted to hit for the Zips. I love the A+Roo logo so it was a no brainer putting it back on the helmet. I feel the same way about italic fonts but for a team with a speedy name like the Zips, I think it's perfect.

I like the idea of the stripe “movement”, but right now it just looks like the image loaded in a glitchy way. Maybe try making the difference in “levels” more noticeable, or taper/change the width toward the back

The stripe was an experiment so I took the advice and came up with a new design:

• Tapered the inner stripe for a zig-zag feel and, when the stripe is horizontal, it creates a Z
• The thing I don't know about this stripe is how it looks vertically with how it kind of resembles an N. So I'd like to hear what everyone thinks.

Thanks for the advice and if this looks good, I'll post the rest of the uniforms. 

AKRON ZIPS

DESIGN

• I like the new stripe Akron debuted on the pants this past season but I wanted to make it a little more unique
• I always thought the font on Oklahoma City Thunder's alternate uniforms seemed like it was going so fast that each part can't keep up with another. I don't know if that makes sense but that's the best way I can articulate it
• So I edited the stripe in the same design as the OKC font because Zips indicate something fast and speedy
• Re-colored the stripes for more color and added white
• Switched back from a block font to the Akron Font. Italicized the font and numbers

HELMET

• Satin gold and glossy blue helmet with blue facemask
• A/Roo logo on helmet
• "ZIPS" on the front bumper and "AKRON" on the back bumper
• Ohio outline on back 

JERSEY

• New stripes and font added
• Kept the collar logo

PANTS

• Gold and blue pants
• New stripe added

SOCKS

• White socks with blue accents

Up next will be Florida. Thanks for looking and C&C is greatly appreciated!

The new number font looks great and I definitely like the wings better on the sleeves as well! Just a suggestion, but I guess if you wanted to differentiate the BFBS alt from the primaries more, you could make the wings come out of the collar kind of like the old Oregon uniforms.

Thank you! Yeah when a team has a winged helmet, I almost always like it better on the sleeves. Not Philadelphia though, those helmets are classic. As for the alt, I never thought about that but I really like that idea.

Here's 2 options, one with the wings extending to the back of the shoulders, and another with the wings just on the front.

I like the North Texas set a lot, I think the only change you could make is adding a stripe similar to NY Jets like below. Or something that matches the sleeve cap/logo 

 

Thank you! Yeah I tried adding the wings or stripes to the pants and that didn't look the best so I just kept them stripe-less like how the helmet is. 

NORTH TEXAS MEAN GREEN

DESIGN

• North Texas' identity and color scheme is so underrated in my opinion so I was excited to create this concept
• This team went traditional with their uniforms this past year but I went with a modern-ish design
• Moved the wings from the helmet to the sleeves
• Same text font and a matching number font to go with it

HELMET

• Satin green and white helmet with white facemask
• Primary logo is on the helmet
• Denton, Texas logo on the back

JERSEY

• Wings added to the shoulders

• Plain green and white pants to match the helmet

ALTERNATE

• Another BFBS uniform but the color contrast between the light green and black is so perfect

HOUSTON COUGARS

DESIGN

• A mix of eras with these uniforms; plain helmets from the current uniforms and jersey stripes from the Andre Ware uniforms
• Kept the same text font and updated the number font to match

• Red and white helmet with white facemask
• "COUGS" on front bumper and "HOUSTON" on back
• Texas state outline on back

PANTS

• Red and white pants
• No stripe on the pants to match the helmet

SOCKS

• White socks with red accents

ALTERNATE

• This probably is classified as a BFBS uniform but I'm a sucker for a red on black look so I thought why not add it

Up next will be North Texas. Thanks for looking and as always C&C is greatly appreciated!

ARIZONA STATE SUN DEVILS

DESIGN

• Based these uniforms off the Nike ones from he early 2010's
• I think it's a perfect application of taking a design from the logo and applying it to a stripe, which is something I try to do with some designs
• I don't dislike how Adidas applied the stripe but that looks more like South Florida's bull horn
• Added a stripe to the pants
• Same font

HELMET

• Gold and maroon helmet with maroon facemask
• "PT  42" on front bumper and "SUN DEVILS" on back

JERSEY

• Stripe added to the shoulders

• Black socks with gold accents

Up next will be Arizona State. Thanks for looking and as always, C&C is greatly appreciated!

I've always felt like Tennessee deserves a more classic number font than what they have.

I get that, I actually hated Tennessee's number font when they introduced it but I've warmed up to it now.

Nevada always feels like a hard team to get right but this is really, really good!

Yes for sure, they were actually one of the last teams I did because I didn't know what to do with them. But thank you I appreciate it!

TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS

• Moved SEC patch to the right

That gold almost feels Bronze, I might lighten it up a shade. Besides that, your last two looks have been really solid, although I agree that Nevada probably just needs the silver helmets only. 

Thank you! That's weird about the gold because on my computer I don't see bronze but I'm going to look into it and see what I can change. Thanks for bringing that up.

I don't hate the flaming thumbtack logo. I don't necessarily like it, it's definitely not among the best NFL logos, and I'd absolutely rather see them try to come up with something better rather than just keep it around. I think it's still the best of the bad logos they've had though (I've never liked the sword T because of its warped perspective). 
 

I like the number font too, especially the thicker version on the columbia jerseys. This font the team used on social media around the time of the unveiling would have been really nice too, though:

I said this same thing about the thicker numbers in a Twitter thread with Paul Lukas at Uni-Watch and apparently that font was created too late. 

GEORGIA TECH YELLOW JACKETS

DESIGN

• Like I said before, I went back in time with this concept instead of a modern look like their current uniforms
• Changed to an old gold instead of the brighter shade. I thought if we're going old school why not go all the way
• Went back to an old design because I think it's better and the 1990 team won the National Championship wearing a similar design
• The double stripe design comes from that 1990's team
• Added the double stripe to the helmet and the pants, which the 90's and throwback uniforms didn't have
• The double stripe is a unique look and thought it'd be perfect since Boston College went away from the design
• Kept the same text font but updated the number font to a more traditional design

HELMET

• Gold helmet with blue facemask
• Double stripe added
• ATL on front bumper and TECH on back bumper
• School logo on back

JERSEY

• Kept 2 white jerseys, one with gold numbers and lettering and one with blue
• New stripes added. Changed the color design by always having the dark color stripe on bottom
• Enlarged the chest logo
• Added numbers to the shoulders

PANTS

• Gold pants to pair with the white and blue jerseys, and white pants to pair with the gold jersey
• New stripes added

SOCKS

• White socks with gold or blue accents

Up next will be Tennessee. Thanks for looking and as always C&C is greatly appreciated!

I think Nevada's silver helmets look great and it feels proper given the state's nickname, so I'd personally drop the navy helmets. Like the addition on the sleeve caps.

Thank you. Yeah I fell in love with Nevada's silver helmets watching their bowl game but I'm a sucker for a glossy navy helmet for some reason so I thought why not keep both.

NEVADA WOLF PACK

DESIGN

• Spiced up their very plain uniforms a little bit
• Added sleeve stripes that come from the negative space in the back of the logo
• I don't mind the Aachen font but I think a block font suits Nevada better, like their old Nike uniforms

HELMET

• Glossy blue helmet and a steel gray helmet with blue facemask
• The Battle Born Nevada seal on back

JERSEY

• Added new stripe
• White numbers, lettering, and stripes on home. I thought of using gray but originally I didn't have a gray helmet but I kept the white because I thought it looked cleaner.
• "WOLF PACK" chest mark on home and "NEVADA" on away

PANTS

• Blue, gray, and white pants
• No stripe to match the helmet

SOCKS

• Blue or white socks with white or blue accents

Up next will be a Georgia Tech, who went through a recent brand refresh that brought a pretty modern look but I went back in time with them. Thanks for looking and as always C&C is greatly appreciated!

This is a much classier take, although I’ll admit, I was curious to see your take on the preexisting colors. Scarlet, that orange ish gold, and black seemed like a much more unique, if not gaudy, color scheme. They look much more professional now regardless! 

Thank you! Yeah if this was 2010s with all the different/outlandish uniforms, I definitely would have used those colors but with teams going more minimalistic in recent years, I thought going with a traditional color scheme would be best. So I'm glad you like them!

I like the pattern addition to the stripes, but I think it might work better with a little less subtlety. As is it could look like a fabric stretching issue or a template mistake. 

 

The fleur is also a smart touch. I'm curious as to how it'd look with the flames as well, just because the shape feels bit lost with so much red on red.

Oh I like that idea for the flame/fleur-de-lis. Here's how it would look and I really like it.

LOUISIANA RAGIN' CAJUNS

LOGO

• Like a lot of my concepts, I got rid of colors that the team doesn't use anymore
• Black, gold, and pewter eliminated
• Changed the top text font to the same font in the bottom of the logo

UNIFORMS

DESIGN

• Kept the two stripe pattern but the inside of the stripes is similar to the Pelicans jersey stripes
• I wanted to keep the same stripes but try something a little different
• Updated the "LOUISIANA" font just like I did in the logo. Same number font

HELMET

• Red helmet with white facemask (changed from the primary gray facemask) 
• Replaced the helmet script with the re-colored fleur-de-lis, which they have had on their helmets before
• Lengthened the helmet stripe all the way to the end of the helmet
• Flag of Acadiana on the back
• "CAJUNS" on front and "LOUISIANA" on back

JERSEY

• Updated stripe added
• "RAGIN' CAJUNS" chest mark on home jersey

PANTS

• Red and white pants with updates stripe added

SOCKS

• White socks with red accents

Up next is going to be Nevada. Thanks for looking and as always C&C is greatly appreciated!

INDIANA HOOSIERS

DESIGN

• Based these uniforms off the candy stripe uniforms from 2016 which are based off the basketball team's warmup pants
• Kept the double stripe on the helmet and applied it to the pants too
• I darkened the shade of red to crimson. I've noticed Indiana has been brightening the red recently and they should be a crimson team.
• Brought over the number font from the basketball jerseys

HELMET

• Same satin shell but crimson

JERSEY

• New stripes added to the sleeves
• HOOSIERS wordmark on home jersey. It's such a unique and cool nickname I thought it needs to be on the uniforms

PANTS

• Crimson and white pants
• Double stripe added

SOCKS

• White socks with crimson accents

Up next is another team that I eliminated black from their color scheme (it's a trend of mine), Louisiana. Thanks for looking and as always, C&C is greatly appreciated!

BALL STATE CARDINALS

DESIGN

• Took the motion lines from the previous logo and made those into the striping design
• An updated block font with slight curves in the upper left serif

HELMET

• White helmet with red facemask for home and away. Black helmet with red facemask for alternate uniform
• New striping added
• "CARDS" on front bumper and school name on back
• University seal on back of helmet

I understand what you're going for with Middle Tennessee. But lightning bolts with those colors give off too much of an Air Force vibe to me.

Yeah I noticed that too but I think my Air Force concept is different enough from this one. 

MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE BLUE RAIDERS

LOGO

• Eliminated black and made silver the secondary color
• Replaced black in the logo with blue
• Added a silver outline 

UNIFORMS

DESIGN

• The lightning bolt is the main design for these uniforms
• Italicized the block font to match the letters in the logo

HELMET

• Silver and glossy blue helmet with blue or white facemask
• New logo and design added
• Updated MT logo on front bumper and "RAIDERS" on back

JERSEY

• Lightning bolt goes from the back of the shoulders to the bottom of the collar
• Updated number font and chest text added

PANTS

• Silver, blue, and white pants
• New design added

SOCKS

• White socks with blue accents

All of the concepts have been great so far, I just have one suggestion for Texas: I don't think the orange looks "burnt" enough. I think that's been a criticism of the uniforms in real life as well lately, but I'd be curious to see you try a different shade for the Longhorns.

Ok that makes sense why my concepts used a brighter orange because I tried to match the shade they have now. So here is Texas with a more burnt orange

And here is the color comparison between the old and new concepts:

NAVY MIDSHEPMEN

DESIGN

• I went old-school with Navy and returned them to the days of Roger Staubach and most recently the 2019 Army-Navy Game
• The thin stripes, while I understand what it represents, just don't work for me so I thought going back to a great look works well for this team
• Returned to a darker shade of gold
• Kept the same font

HELMET

• Gold helmet with blue facemask
• Darkened the shade of gold. Similar to the old helmets

JERSEY

• UCLA stripes on the shoulder and numbers on the sleeves
• Chest text removed

PANTS

• Gold and blue pants
• No stripes like on the previous uniforms

SOCKS

• White socks with navy accents

Up next is Middle Tennessee State. Thanks and as always C&C is greatly appreciated!

It isn’t happening until 2025, but, would you mind mocking OU & Texas with SEC patches?

 

Can’t disagree on keeping them the same.

Thank you! I actually have a plan to update all the teams switching conferences to update the conference logos so they will be part of that.

OKLAHOMA SOONERS

DESIGN

• Another classic uniform stays the same
• No alternate uniforms. I don't mind them but I also don't think they're necessary for a traditional team like Oklahoma

HELMET

• No changes

JERSEY

• No changes

PANTS

• No changes

SOCKS

• White socks with crimson accents

Up next will be Navy. Thanks for looking and as always C&C is greatly appreciated!
