Oldschoolvikings' NFL concepts - Commanders concept added
oldschoolvikings replied to oldschoolvikings's topic in Concepts
Next is a Tampa Bay Buccaneer set. For myself, like a lot of you, I'd just want to see them go back to the previous set. It was pretty close to perfect. But, I know they aren't going to do that. Teams can't just go back that quick... its like admitting they were wrong to change. Which they were, but still. So, what if I was asked to keep the "feel" of the new uniform, but fix what just absolutely can't stay? Here's what I came up with. Things that MUST go; Oversized helmet logoPewter yokeWorst number font EVERMismatched sleeve logosBlocky pants graphicsPewter socksWhat I can work with to keep a bit of the new uniform's feel: New helmet logo at a decent sizeNew emphasis on orangeModern number fontnon-traditional stripes on sleeves and pantsI decided to simplify overall... drop the sliver/chrome idiocy, reduce black to logos only. Here's what I got... -

Some new designs... First, this is a Dolphin idea based on the current throwback. I already posted it in it's own thread, but I wanted here in my uber-thread. -
Added an alternate...
-
Florida Panthers... a return to the original, of sorts, with some updates.
-
I'm not sure how I feel about laces... It strikes me as a little cheesy in 2015. They really are just cosmetic, although I suppose you could say that about a lot of uniform elements.
-
Still going stripe crazy...
-
New Avalanche uniform is actually pretty much the old Avalanche uniform... just a few small adjustments, plus a new alternate. The original Avs look is probably in my top 5 all-time NHL uniforms, it's a shame it got destroyed. And this particular alt design is something I've always wanted to see.
-
Carolina Hurricanes concept. I miss the wrap around flag motif, and I'm adding a color. Thoughts?
-
My goodness, I must be hallucinating again. All those unique stripe patterns that I'm seeing are actually boring and generic! Love the work OldSchool. Some really ingenious ideas here, though I'm not huge on the Columbus road jersey, I'd stick to white. I know it isn't matching with the home if you do that, but it'd still be close enough where I think it could work. Yeah, you may be right... I might have forced the gray into there for the idea of it. I'll revisit it.
-
I haven't used even one strip. Stripes? Oh, hell, yeah, lots of stripes, but I've made it a point to avoid strips at all costs. Also, is "could cold come up with" some new slang? I'd like to know for sure before I start dropping it into my conversations.
-
I was starting to think the same about switching the red breezers to green (especially since it would work so well with the alt) so your comment just pushed it over the top for me. Here you go... As for all the stripes... I'm going to be stubborn a little while longer, I think. There's an internal logic to the stripe pattern that works with other elements on the uniform, although maybe I'm the only one who can see it and/or cares.
-
Thought of an idea for an alt so I added it. And, yes, I'm aware it looks like a Christmas sweater. Who doesn't love Christmas sweaters?
-
Sure.

I've always loved the old duckbill goalie mask... I'm a sucker for cartoon mascots, in general. So I wanted to use it, but looking at the original it seems a little busy now... the mask was backed by a circle, and a triangle, and two crossed sticks... too much. So I simplified. As for the color scheme, I just went with the current, swapping out the black for a very dark green. And here it is...
-
Here it is with a slightly darker and duller purple. I've tried a few times to shoehorn some small amount of purple into the logo, but disliked every attempt.
-
This was my thought process for that... I knew I wanted to get more of the dark red onto the white uniform, so I replaced the purple elements from the dark jersey with the maroon. ThAt meant adding a purple stripe above, or their wouldn't be enough purple IMO. I gave up a little stripe consistently for better color distribution.
-
Agree on the purple... it came out a little more toxic than I intended. Rather than darkening it, I might try just de-saturating (graying it slightly) it a bit.
