mgdmhl Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 The areas on the torso you have colored in on Bucknell are interesting. That mesh area has yet to be used to house color, and I think there's a reason for that. I'm not sure if that area can't hold color, but it's certainly an odd placement to just throw color in. For the concept itself, I think it works better on the white jersey than the other two, for whatever reason.I believe that area on the torso is rarely colored in a different color because the players arms would usually cover that area up. So there's no point in coloring it if people can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poiper2 Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 So, I have (what I believe) to be a much better set for Bucknell. What I did was add a stroke to all of the numbers, and on the colored patches on the jersey I made the ends of them jagged, like the ends of the logo. Also I added an alternate helmet that features the horns that are in the logo as well. I still don't think that it's the best, and I think it still needs work. I would like to know what you guys think. Home & AwayAlternateC&C is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAOS-KING Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Could u add orange shoulders on the blue jersey, blue shoulders on orange jersey and blue shoulders on white jersey? IMO that would look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidellias Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Oh man, the striping on the Bucknell Jerseys is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_grateful_ted Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 IMO this is awesome. I think the alternate looks very retro and it looks pretty cool. Nice updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavePunter Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Bucknell's numbers need to be white on the colored jerseys.. Otherwise, great job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_grateful_ted Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Bucknell's numbers need to be white on the colored jerseys.. Otherwise, great jobI've heard this "necessity" alot before, I think the orange is different enough to work for the numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavePunter Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 The browns would disagree.. It's something that can look great in concept form, but in practice, it would be a visual issue.. Colored jerseys need numbers that are white, yellow/gold, or grey/silver in order to maintain appropriate visual contrast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poiper2 Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Alright, so for now, I'm just going to keep Bucknell the way it is, but it of course could still be changed at any time. But for now, I have the Butler set. Butler is the first set that has a different helmet template. I added a glossy-ish affect to it. But anyways, on the set itself I tried to keep it as classic but modern as possible. Butler has never really been one for modern or crazy uniforms.

Colored jerseys need numbers that are white, yellow/gold, or grey/silver in order to maintain appropriate visual contrastI think I'm just a sucker for numbers that match the pants color.Which is exactly why traditional aesthetics is white jersey and colored pants (with matching numbers), and colored jerseys/white pants (with white numbers).. I'm a sucker for being able to read the number while watching the game.. You wouldn't be able to with orange numbers.. I've done play-by-pay for 4 years, and from the press box, it's nearly impossible for spotters to pick out the right guy when they have colored numbers on colored jerseys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_grateful_ted Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I think that's something we just won't agree on. Or at least without taking into account reality pressbox issues, I think colored numbers can sometimes look better aesthetically. Anyways, I think Butler looks really good! Very classy look, and I'm in love with the alternate white out. No complaints for me on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatek99 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Coming in a little late on this.BC is my favorite so farBryant looks simple and sharpFor changes, I liked the original stripes on Pine BluffCant wait for YSU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatek99 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Also, the Bucknell alt helmet with the horns would work very well. Looks old school! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poiper2 Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 So, just to make everyone happy, I have created a Bucknell home uniform with white numbers, and provided a side-by-side comparison. Here you are.IMO it doesn't really change that much of the look. C&C is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatek99 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Kind of like the white now to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_grateful_ted Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Whites interesting it imitates the b from the logo white with orange outline. Honestly both look good either could work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavePunter Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I agree 100% that the one with orange numbers looks great, I'm just speaking to the function.. The reason for including numbers is to identify players from the sidelines/stands/etc, so if they can't be clearly read, they're pointless.. I think both options looks great, but the white numbers are just much clearer without damaging the aestheticEdit: but to Sleuth's point, I'm now interested in how it would look with the numbers beveled with orange highlights in the same manner as the B in the logo..

jrcollis714 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Kind of like the white now to be honestYeah, makes the uniform a little more subtle which is nice. Anyway, great work on Butler, no complaints there. I really love that grey alternate. Nice work so far on this series.

poiper2 Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Well, since Butler needs no updates, it's time for Cal Poly. I didn't do anything too excessive but, I still tried to keep it looking somewhat modern. Home & AwayAnd the alternateC&C is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
