NH4 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 The first week of college football is finally here and I thought I'd celebrate the beginning of the season by starting a new thread of college football uniform concepts. A couple years ago I realized I've done concepts for high school, non-college football, and NFL teams but none for my favorite sport, College Football. I've been working on these concepts off-and-on for 4 years but (like many people) I've had way more free time in the last year to create more concepts. Now this is a bigger project than anything I have done because this is not only for FBS teams but FCS, D2, and D3 teams as well. My problem with my past concepts on here is that I start a topic before all of my concepts are actually done but not this time. I have all the FBS, FCS, and D2 teams completed, and about half of the D3 teams completed. It's been tough creating unique identities for smaller schools that I hadn't even heard of but it's been fun and I'm excited to post my concepts. I'll start out posting the FBS teams first and then go FCS, D2, and finish with D3 posting in random order. Since I am a little bias I'm going to start with my favorite team; Wisconsin. FBS: Spoiler ACC: Boston College 2.0 | Clemson | Duke | Florida State | Georgia Tech | Louisville 2.0 | Miami | NC State | North Carolina | Pitt | Syracuse | Virginia | Virginia Tech | Wake Forest American: Charlotte 2.0 | East Carolina | FAU 2.0 | Memphis | Navy | North Texas 2.0| Rice 2.0 | SMU | Temple | Tulane | Tulsa | UAB 2.0 | USF | UTSA Big Ten: Illinois | Indiana | Iowa 2.0 | Maryland | Michigan 2.0 | Michigan State | Minnesota | Nebraska 2.0 | Northwestern 2.0| Ohio State 2.0 | Penn State | Purdue | Rutgers | Wisconsin Big XII: Baylor | BYU 2.0 | Cincinnati 2.0 | Houston 2.0| Iowa State 2.0 | Kansas | Kansas State | Oklahoma | Oklahoma State | Texas 2.0 | TCU 2.0 | Texas Tech | UCF 2.0 | West Virginia C-USA: FIU | Jacksonville State | Liberty 2.0 | Louisiana Tech | Middle Tennessee | New Mexico State | Sam Houston | UTEP | Western Kentucky Independents: Army | Notre Dame | UCONN | UMASS MAC: Akron 2.0 | Ball State | Bowling Green | Buffalo | Central Michigan | Eastern Michigan 2.0 | Kent State | Miami (OH) | Northern Illinois | Ohio | Toledo | Western Michigan 2.0 Mountain West: Air Force | Boise State | Colorado State | Fresno State 2.0 | Hawai'i | Nevada | New Mexico 2.0 | San Diego State | San Jose State | Utah State | UNLV | Wyoming Pac 12: Arizona | Arizona State | Cal 2.0 | Colorado | Oregon 2.0 | Oregon State | Stanford | UCLA | USC | Utah | Washington | Washington State SEC: Alabama | Arkansas | Auburn | Florida | Georgia | Kentucky | LSU 2.0 | Missouri 2.0 | Mississippi State | Ole Miss | South Carolina | Tennessee | Texas A&M | Vanderbilt Sun Belt: Appalachian State 2.0 | Arkansas State | Coastal Carolina | Georgia Southern | Georgia State | James Madison | Louisiana 2.0 | Marshall | Old Dominion 2.0 | South Alabama | Southern Miss 2.0 | Texas State | Troy | UL Monroe FCS: Spoiler Big Sky: Cal Poly | Eastern Washington | Idaho | Montana | Montana State | Northern Arizona | Northern Colorado | Portland State | Sacramento State | UC Davis | Weber State Big South: Bryant | Charleston Southern 2.0 | Gardner-Webb | Robert Morris CAA: Albany | Campbell 2.0 | Delaware | Elon | Hampton | Maine | Monmouth | NC A&T 2.0 | New Hampshire | Rhode Island | Richmond | Stoney Brook | Towson | Villanova | William & Mary Ivy: Brown | Columbia | Cornell | Dartmouth | Harvard | Penn | Princeton | Yale MEAC: Delaware State | Howard | Morgan State | Norfolk State | North Carolina Central | South Carolina State Missouri Valley: Illinois State | Indiana State | Missouri State | North Dakota | North Dakota State | Northern Iowa | South Dakota | South Dakota State | Southern Illinois | Western Illinois | Youngstown State Northeast: Central Connecticut | Duquesne | LIU | Merrimack | Sacred Heart | Saint Francis | Stonehill | Wagner 2.0 Ohio Valley: Eastern Illinois | Lindenwood | Murray State | Southeast Missouri | Tennessee State | Tennessee Tech 2.0 | UT Martin 2.0 Patriot: Bucknell | Colgate | Fordham | Georgetown | Holy Cross | Lafayette | Lehigh Pioneer: Butler | Davidson | Dayton | Drake | Marist | Morehead State | Presbyterian | San Diego | St. Thomas | Stetson | Valparaiso SOCON: Chattanooga | ETSU | Furman | Mercer | Samford | Citadel | VMI | Western Carolina | Wofford Southland: HCU | Incarnate Word | Lamar 2.0 | McNeese State | Nicholls 2.0 | Northwestern State | SE Louisiana | Texas A&M- Commerce SWAC: Alabama A&M | Alabama State | Alcorn State | Bethune Cookman | Grambling State | Florida A&M | Jackson State | Mississippi Valley State | Prairie View A&M | Southern | Texas Southern UAC: Abilene Christian 2.0 | Austin Peay 2.0 | Central Arkansas 2.0 3.0 | Eastern Kentucky 2.0 | North Alabama 2.0 | Southern Utah 2.0 | Stephen F Austin 2.0 | Tarleton State 2.0 | Utah Tech 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH4 Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 WISCONSIN BADGERS LOGO As a Badger fan one thing has irked me forever, the black drop shadow when there is no black on the uniforms or anywhere else Eliminated the black so now the colors are just red and white UNIFORMS DESIGN Same forward stripe motive that Under Armor has used since they outfitted Wisconsin HELMET Updated logo on helmet Pulled the trigger and finally made the white facemask the primary. I really like it and I know it's very popular with Badger fans and it just creates a clean look JERSEY Updated logo on chest PANTS Changed stripe to where the break is now in the middle (compared to where it is now) to match the sleeves stripes SOCKS Changed the black socks to white and added the forward stripe Not any big changes because I think Wisconsin has a pretty solid identity. But minor changes is not how it's going to be for a lot of teams including the next 3 teams (Tulane, West Virginia, and UTSA) which our some of my favorite re-designs. Thanks and C&C is greatly appreciated! 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edjb93 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Eliminating the shadow from the Motion W and going for a white facemask resulted to a cleaner look. Great start! Also, stretching all the way to Division III is a labor-intensive task, but you would like to challenge yourself. I wish nothing but the best for this project. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks that was what I was going for for Wisconsin so I'm glad it works. Yeah it's been a ton of work for sure but it's been fun pushing myself to create concepts for a lot of schools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavybass Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Good luck with this idea, I was going to make this herculean attempt but it would be a VERY long term project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you and yeah for sure I don't blame you. I've been working on this for 4 years and still have more teams to create concepts for so yeah it's taking a long time but it's been fun.

NH4 Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 TULANE GREEN WAVE DESIGN Tulane really has hit a home run with their branding in recent years so I wanted to continue that T Wave logo and the Angry Cartoon Wave are both used on these uniforms a lot I like the 3 Stripe design Tulane uses sometimes so I went with that to create a cohesion throughout all the uniforms (which Tulane does not have right now) Made the stripe seem "wavy" similar to my Dolphins concept. I thought it worked perfect for a team that literally has "Wave" in their team name HELMET White helmet only Green or blue facemask depending on the jersey and/or pants New stripe added T Wave and Angry Wave are both used New Orleans flag on the back JERSEY Green home jersey, white away jersey, and blue alternate jersey Tulane wordmark on the chest New stripe pattern on sleeves Kept the block numbers from the current jerseys because I thought it fit with the kind of classic look of the stripes rather than match the wordmark PANTS White, green, and blue pants New stripe on each SOCKS White socks with green or blue accents Like I said, Tulane has done a really good job with their branding and colors so I wanted to continue that but add a little bit of my own flair to it. I've got West Virginia up next, which was a school I had an idea for their design for a long time so I'm excited to show them. Thanks and C&C is greatly appreciated. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NH4 Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINEERS DESIGN A little bit of old school meets new school Old number font returns! Now with a related type font Sleeve design is the "V" from the logo but flipped to represent the peak of a mountain HELMET Navy and gold helmet West Virginia state silhouette on the front bumper and "Country Roads" on the back (just like they have now) JERSEY New sleeve design and number font added PANTS Plain pants like their current uniforms. I think it's a clean look and pairs well with the plain helmet West Virginia has had forever SOCKS Navy socks with gold accents Up next is UTSA with a very popular design formerly used by the only pro sports team in town. Thanks for looking and C&C is greatly appreciated! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 First off, I highly commend you for taking on this gargantuan task. I'm looking forward to keeping up with the entire series. Wisconsin: Nice clean look that looks like them, but provides some good tweaks to their current set. Tulane: Love the use of wavy striping. The color balance is awesome and I'm glad you used both the angry wave and wave T logos. WVU: This is my favorite so far. West Virginia could take a look like this and keep it until the end of time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaytavo305 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Tulane looks fantastic, really clever idea with the stripe ! Excited to see you carry on this series, great start with all 3 teams 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Akronite- Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I love fulfilling the dream of Reds fans everywhere by ditching the black for Wisconsin. In practice, I worry whether that would simply make them blend in more with Nebraska in the same conference. Then again, Nebraska also has a hard-on for throwing black into their identity. Either way, looks sharp & professional. Tulane has possibly my favorite color scheme in sports and your consistent, traditional design let's them shine. The wave effect is really cool but might need to be bigger, as it's very subtle to the point where I could see it coming off like a manufacturer mistake. Also the Wave mascot rules and should be the only logo they put on that helmet, IMO. WVU looks awesome as well. Their uniforms are usually fairly simple, which you maintain, but the mountain sleeve stripe really elevates the set by making it distinct. Honestly impressed, the way that element provides color balance while tying in the logo & nickname in one fell swoop. College football offers such a breadth of unique identities to work with and this series is off to a great start! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edjb93 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Great idea for using the 'V' from the logo and flipping it to resemble a mountain! As far as Tulane goes, from afar, the uniforms look like what they're recently wearing. Good job on making the stripes wavy, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbird669 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I am very excited about this series! I think WVU is excellent. Just curious, no white helmets for the Mountaineers? When you get to DIII, can't wait to see what you do for my Alma Mater, Alvernia University. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you and yeah I'm a Brewers fan so I watch the Reds a decent amount and every time I see their uniforms I think how much better they would be by getting rid of the black drop shadows. I also had that thought with Wisconsin and Nebraska but I think switching the Badgers to the white facemask full time balances out the issue of looking the same. 15 hours ago, edjb93 said: Great idea for using the 'V' from the logo and flipping it to resemble a mountain!

So one of my goals was to consolidate the vast amount of uniform options most teams have to kind of ensure a solid identity and I felt navy and gold were much stronger options for West Virginia, especially considering a lot of teams have introduced white helmets recently. And for Alvernia, those gray jerseys were the first thing I got rid of because I like the color scheme so much and gray just muddies it up. I also love the name Golden Wolves and the logo's really sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH4 Posted August 27, 2021 Author Share Posted August 27, 2021 UTSA ROADRUNNERS LOGO Removed the beveling. A small change but I think it makes the logo better and much more clearer UNIFORMS DESIGN Stripe pattern comes from the Spurs Fiesta set Removed the bevels in the font just like I did in the logo. One thing I noticed while doing this project is that Texas teams LOVE their bevels for some reason HELMET Navy helmet with new stripe added Texas state shape logo on the back JERSEY Navy, white and orange jerseys with the new stripe added PANTS Navy, white and orange pants with the new stripe added SOCKS White with blue accents Up next are Notre Dame and Georgia who are two very traditional teams but I did make some minor tweaks to each design. Thanks for looking and as always C&C is greatly appreciated 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH4 Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH HELMET Green accents instead of blue when paired with the alternate jersey JERSEY Home and away unchanged Green jersey is re-introduced. I know Irish fans say the green jerseys are cursed, but I love them Brought back the old number and sleeve logo coloring. I think it works better than the most recent iterations PANTS Unchanged SOCKS Color socks match the jersey color Like I said, a traditional team that doesn't need many changes but I still found a way to update them. C&C is greatly appreciated and Georgia will be next. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a couple of other schools nearby with "Golden" in the nickname. But it got us football, so there's that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
