Weapon X Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 The Philadelphia Eagles have been in "talks" about Kelly green becoming their primary color and a getting a Kelly Green colored uniform but Jeffrie Lurie (eagles owner) ex-wife Cristina Lurie apparently hates the Kelly green look and thinks it should stay in the past. With the Eagles kinda needing a redesign I made a concept on what I think Nike will do based of the other nfl teams that have redesigned under Nike. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES Helmet: I changed the wing on the helmet to the back of the bird I have always wanted to see what it would look like and I think it fits with what nike has done before. The helmet has a diagonal wide stripe pattern(?) which kinda serves as the feather pattern that the Seahawks have on their jerseys and helmet. Jersey: The wings are on the shoulders of the jerseys and give the jersey very little empty space on the shoulders which is something nike has had on some of their uniforms (I.E Seahawks to an extent and the Jags) the Stripe pattern is on the sleeves of the jerseys just give it a simple but clean aesthetic. Numbers also have the striping pattern. Pants: I was debating to put the wing on the thighs because I though it would look like too much but decided to go with it anyway. The Stripes go around the back of the pants (which I debated also) and only go up 3/4 way up the pants. This is my first Computer-done concept ever so I hope you enjoy!

Guest darkpiranha Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Welcome aboard! Changing the wing to the back of the bird on the helmet is an interesting idea that I never before considered, but I really like it. However, it totally doesn't work on the jersey or pants. It works on the helmet because it's an eagle head on the side of a human head. It's really weird to see part of an eagle head coming out of either side of the shoulder, like wings. If you want to experiment with this look, I'd put in the regular eagle wings. The pants... enh.. I don't think it works at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrkennedy77 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I agree the back end of the birds head for the helmet decal looks really good. But I would go back to the drawing board on the uni's. Resembles too much of an Oregon look. And since apparently Lurie's ex-wife doesn't like the kelly green, why not go with it as an "f-u" to the ex? I mean, that's probably what I'd do...

Yeah I like the effort, but double neck on the shoulders probably won't intimidate anyone. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

If those are wings, they are horribly rendered. Eagle wings aren't squared off. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

bigmike Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Nice idea, I'm currently working on an NFL series and had the same idea to use the wings from the back of the Eagle's head, it has a hidden E in the feathers when you look at it from the right angle. For a modern take, this isn't bad at all but I'm not sure I could see these uniforms translate to the NFL. Still good work! Check out my new NFL 2016 Series!

Weapon X Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Update: I tinkered around with this look and think I came away with something nice. Jersey: Felt like less is more with getting rid of the wings and just gave Philly the look they al ready have on their uniforms with the bird on the shoulder panel and the numbers on the top. Pants: Once I removed the wings the pants looked a little too empty so I used their underused alternate "E" logo on the side panel. Hope you enjoy I would love some C&C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darkpiranha Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I like this a lot. Nice work on implementing feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizzaman7294 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I liked the wing pattern on the jersey, just not on the helmet. I'd switch back the pattern on the jersey and use the current helmet design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Some c/c on the revised concept: 1. I like the helmet design and the new wings that were inspired by the eagle head. It's one of those things that would be easier to evaluate on a prototype helmet rather than a flat image, but it could very well work. The front looks really good. 2. White facemask doesn't work. I see why you chose it, but it's too glaring a contrast to the midnight green. I'd go with gray or black. 3. In 2016 it's kind of risky to go with a jersey design that relies on a certain template to pull off, because Nike and the other manufacturers change their templates all the time. Granted, this hasn't impacted the Titans or Broncos, who also use template-specific designs, but it might be better to remove the risk that a sudden change could alter the design. More of a note than a criticism - there's nothing objectively wrong with your design. 4. I'd go with more black in the pants stripe on the green pants. ALso I'm not sure how the black pants would look with that black design - I think they'd just look like yoga pants in real life - maybe there's a way to work in some silver and/or green there. I'm not a fan of the E logo because I think if there's a single letter it should be P not E. Just preference though, not a criticism.
