    Yeah, I'm the one who made the pattern, and I don't get it either. However, if I worked for Nike I'm sure I could BS my way to some kind of conceptual explanation, involving pirate clothing, or sails, or something.

    OK, here it is with a white helmet and pants (and gray removed throughout). Plus a helmet stripe. Which is better?
  3. oldschoolvikings
    What's that weird pattern mean? I have no clue.

    So when somebody now likes my post it just says "somebody liked your post"... am I not allowed to know who?

    Someone recently posted a picture of the Jets' 80's kelly green and black uniform, and I was thinking that it looked nicer than I remembered... Also, I kind of like the idea of mixing two different shades of green, like the Jets did on their recent Color Rash uniform. So with this concept, I'm trying to marry a few elements from the current look to the above kelly green look, and use both greens, as well. Thoughts?

    Needed? No, most definitely not needed. I'm just playing around. Sometimes I think of these concepts as sort of like the concept cars they have every year at the auto shows... the one that they make to show off, but will never be put into production. This is absolutely not what I'd do if the Lions came calling. But I thought it would be fun to make.

    Lions...

    And, just a few days later, another new Falcons concept...
  9. oldschoolvikings
    Another Falcons uniform. Based on the late 70's / early 80's version, plus adding a charcoal gray.

    The Browns' new uniforms are bad everywhere.

    This is an idea I've tried before... trying to find some new real estate for the Charger's jersey bolts. I don't like the current treatment, and the old style shoulder bolts would be really squeezed on a modern template. This idea kind of follows the Seahawks' and Browns' use of the front upper chest area. As always, thoughts and comments are welcome.

    One quick update. It was suggested that the Maryland logo would look better with the modern "M", and I agree, so here it is...

    And to finish off, here are Northwestern, Illinois, and Purdue;

    Minnesota and Iowa... I know there are people who feel like Iowa's uniform is untouchable. I agree... it is untouchable... for the Steelers. As for the Hawkeyes, I tried to give them a look that would feel similar to what they currently wear but would be more their own.

    I wasn't overjoyed with that Maryland helmet logo, either... let me give it some thought. When approaching Nebraska and Wisconsin I knew I wanted to keep one in a standard block font, and give the other a (slightly) modern font... could be I should've switched who got what. Again, I'll give it some thought.
  17. oldschoolvikings
    Here we go with Nebraska and Wisconsin. At first I thought the similarities would make the designs boring to do, but it was actually kind of fun to try to delineate the subtle differences. I like looking at these back to back.
  18. oldschoolvikings
    Yeah, I know that's the popular opinion, but I love the black TV numbers. I've been advocating that for years, so when they actually pulled it out for the play-off unis I was completely stoked. My main complaint was that they weren't black on the white jersey, too. So as long as it's my concept, I'm keeping the black TV numbers.
  19. oldschoolvikings
    Change to what?
  20. oldschoolvikings
    I agree... I should rework it, but it took me so long to clean up the best version I could find, when I realized it was a bit big, I was out of energy. I'm sure I will eventually. More... Penn State is another B10 team that's somewhat untouchable. I did want to match the helmet stripe on pants, and bring in a NOB. Rutgers just needs to reel it back and calm down a bit IMO. The gray is supposed to be a bit darker than tOSU's. Kept their current font. And as for Maryland, I spent a lot of time trying to get myself happy with their flag motif. But then, I got a look at their recent throwback, went back and researched some of their older looks, and decided to go in a completely different direction. Again, kept the current font.
  21. oldschoolvikings
    And Michigan also has a pretty solid standard look that you can't really mess with. I am a fan of the new white road pants, so I kept them, although the yellow pants could be worn on the road maybe half the time.
  22. oldschoolvikings
    Indiana isn't a team I have given a lot of thought to in my life, so they were a bit of a challenge. But with the intro a few weeks back of the script helmet logo, I could finally find something to get excited about. I left off the TV numbers because with the sleeve logo and large wordmark, the upper chest was starting to feel a little crowded to me. Michigan State doesn't need a ton of reworking IMO, just needs a little of the Nike frosting scraped off.
  23. oldschoolvikings
    First up, the Ohio State University. I was a big fan of last year's playoff uniform so I basically kept them in that, with just a few minor tweaks to make myself happy. No real surprises here.

    *Update* This is an old thread I made a few years ago, dedicated strictly to Big Ten uniforms. I've decided to re-purpose it into a general thread for all my college football concepts. The first few pages will be just the older B10 uniforms, then I'll combine in a few other older non-B10 stuff, and going forward it will be what ever college concepts I come up with. IMO the current multi-uniform craze that's been strangling college football for the past 7 or 8 years now, has reached a point of maximum stupidity. At one time, you could argue that it was cool to be one of the teams that pulled off some unexpected out-of-the-box alternate look (I'd probably argue that it was never all that cool, but you could argue it was)... but now? When 4th tier nobody teams hit the field in chrome/matte/charcoal/pattered silliness "Jumped the Shark" doesn't even begin to cover it. With that in mind, I'm remaking the 14 teams of Big Ten, each in a solid signature look. Each team gets just one home jersey, one road jersey, one helmet, one pair of shoes, one pair of socks, and a maximum of two pairs of pants. IMO if the elements are most clearly what each team should be wearing nothing else is needed. I also wanted to put each team into a Nike template, the idea being that, if the conference was united in this "one best look" concept, they should also be united in a single template. With that... here we go!

    And finally a new Falcons idea. I was looking at a spaceship my kid built out of legos... he's only 7 but already fixated on color schemes. (I'm very proud.) He built it using only black, red, and dark gray bricks, and I started thinking what a great color combo it was. So I threw this together. (And yes, I stole the sleeve/chest stripe from myself on the Bucs concept above.)
