mahnkej Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 Northwestern Wildcats 2.0 For this version, I modified Northwestern's current uniforms to go back to a more classic look (i.e., 3 stripes on the sleeves rather than across the chest). The 4 stars inside the neckline is taken from the City of Chicago flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnkej Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share Posted September 5, 2021 UCLA Bruins Fresh off their upset of LSU, I hop right onto the bandwagon that is Chip Kelly's UCLA Bruins. This is a classic, recognizable set, so I didn't deviate too far from the current look. Main changes I made were resurrecting the all-white look from their Under Armour days, and also introducing an alternate gold jersey. I also incorporated the secondary "B" logo that the baseball team uses on the white helmet, as I think it's underused and serves as a nice compliment to the traditional "UCLA" cursive script.

mahnkej Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 Stanford Cardinal I love Stanford's classic colors and the overall cleanness of their look; if I have one complaint, it's that their unis are almost too simple. Like they're trying to be Alabama, without being Alabama (if that makes any sense). I added some striping to the pants and TV numbers to the jerseys to fill out some of the blank space. I also dropped black trim from the Home and Road looks entirely, as they look best with just white and cardinal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meshmaster101 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 On 2/5/2021 at 10:13 AM, mahnkej said: Washington Huskies Washington just recently got some new uniforms when they partnered w/ Adidas, and the new ones look great. I played around with the look a little to make it pop even more. On the home set, pants get the three stripe pattern from the helmet to keep things consistent. On the jersey sleeves, instead of the plain old three stripe look (which tends to look washed out on the current set) I changed the design to be the alternate husky head logo, which I keep across all three sets. In keeping with tradition, purple pants have no stripes. Alternates are all black with white and royal purple trim. i think the husky on the shoulders is a bad idea.maybe if you made it another color instead of purple on purple or grey on white it would look good, but i thin kthat the double purple thing doesnt work. everything else looks really good though super clean stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnkej Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share Posted September 23, 2021 North Carolina Tar Heels UNC has a gorgeous color scheme and iconic striping pattern, so I used both judiciously in these sets. Striping stays consistent across helmet, jersey, and pants, and mirrors the pattern found on the basketball jerseys. Alternate is an all-navy set, colored to convey a sort of "photo negative" effect (this one would look awesome for night games). I also retained UNC's excellent throwback uniforms as a fourth look.

mahnkej Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 Arizona Wildcats The Wildcats did well to go back to their classic "Desert Swarm" look this past offseason, which IMO was a definite upgrade over the hot mess they were wearing before. However, if I have one criticism, it's that they're still a little generic (there's a whole lot of teams who use a 3-stripe pattern with plain block numbers). As such, I basically made a "modern classic" type look which combines the Desert Swarm design with Arizona's proprietary number font. I also brought back red alternate uniforms and navy helmets to give them some different options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnkej Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 Ohio State Buckeyes 2.0 In this version, a modernized version of Ohio State's excellent throwback uniforms becomes the main look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnkej Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 Penn State v2.0 In this version, my updated version of Penn State's excellent Generations of Greatness uniforms becomes the full-time look. All grey uniform with a navy blue helmet/Lion Head logo is retained as an alternate look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnkej Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 BYU Cougars Classic look that lends itself well to mixing/matching different uniform combinations. You could just as easily leave these as is, but if you're like me, i.e. things just NEED to symmetrical... then it only makes sense to use the Northwestern striping pattern on the helmets as well. Primary sets use the classic navy/white color scheme. Alternates are based heavily off this year's update, which utilizes a brighter royal blue color to give them some different looks.

mahnkej Posted September 29, 2021 Author Share Posted September 29, 2021 Tennessee Volunteers Tennessee's uniforms are arguably a little boring... and it arguably doesn't matter, because it's really their unique shade of orange that make these stand out. I mostly left the primaries as is, switching to a single stripe look throughout and dropping all remnants of the checkerboard experiment (the pattern looks great in the end zones, not so much on the uniforms themselves IMHO). I also added a Tennessee state emblem decal to the pants. Alternate look is a head-to-toe blackout look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnkej Posted September 29, 2021 Author Share Posted September 29, 2021 South Carolina Gamecocks Keeping things moving in the SEC, next up is the South Carolina Gamecocks. I love that they went back to their classic style uniforms (which IMO are superior to the previous-gen ones), so most of the changes I made herewere subtle. Numbering is switched to a traditional block style, and the striping on the collars is switched from a 5-stripe to a 3-stripe pattern. "Black Magic" throwback/alternates become the primary home look. White circles are dropped from the garnet and black helmets, in favor of a cleaner white outline. Biggest change here is the introduction of an all-white 2nd alternate set, which uses an old-school style number font, and judicious use of the alternate "SC" logo. This set also takes styling cues from the South Carolina state flag, utilizing the palmetto tree + crescent moon design on the sleeves and helmet bumpers.

mahnkej Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 Arkansas Razorbacks Arkansas's traditional look works pretty well, and I think they did well to switch back to that style full-time a couple years back. However, IMHO they do look an awful lot like the Oklahoma Sooners... so I tweaked these to make them a little more unique. Basically, I blended the classic Arkansas look with the Razorbacks' modern font to create a "modern throwback" look. Also brought back a black alternate jersey and used the secondary Arkansas "A" logo for the pants accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnkej Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 Texas A&M Aggies Not much to say about these. Adidas did well taking A&M back to their classic look, and they're just about perfect as is IMHO. I made a few changes, which included tweaking the number font/typeface to a more classic block font, and making the A&M logo on the helmets a little less obnoxiously large.

mahnkej Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 Missouri Tigers Blended the new school and old school styles together for this set. Primary sets use the classic Northwestern striping pattern w/ modern number font. Alternate look utilizes the iconic all black, oversized logo helmet with tiger claw marks on the helmet and pants. Helmets (in all 3 primary colors) can use either the classic logo, Missouri "M", or oversized cat logo, which gives them tons of options to mix & match different looks.

mahnkej Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 Missouri Tigers 2.0 Bonus version: 3 different alternate sets utilizing the oversized tiger logo helmet and tiger stripe pattern unis. Claw marks are used judiciously throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnkej Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 Florida Gators 2.0 Mostly the same as my original Gators concepts, but with a few tweaks. Striping on the primary uniforms now uses the 5-stripe pattern everywhere (including the helmets). I also added in a couple new looks: an all-black "The Swamp" alternate, as well as a throwback set.

mahnkej Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Vanderbilt Commodores Vandy has a great color scheme and branding to work with, but IMO their last redesign fell pretty flat. Classic case of overcorrection, from a loud and flashy design to one that's overly generic. I tried to strike a balance between the two with this design. Anchor logos make a return and are placed on the shoulders (a la Clemson Tigers), while TV numbers move down to the sleeves. I also brought back white pants + black helmets, including one with the oversized "V" logo with the anchor and chain running down the middle.

mahnkej Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Georgia Bulldogs 2.0 I really like the Dawgs' throwback jerseys, so for this iteration I did a modern take on those. Numbering uses Georgia's proprietary font, while sleeves use the classic Northwestern striping pattern. I also introduced a set of white pants.

mahnkej Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 Mississippi State Bulldogs Pretty underrated look IMHO, this is one that Adidas got right. These mostly stay as is. All black alternate using silver numbers + the secondary Bulldog logo serves as a compliment to the main look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
