Love that Texas Alt

Miami Dolphins (9 of 32)

Moving along to the next set - Miami. I wanted to give the Dolphins something simple and modern. It also goes without saying that they have one of the best throwback unis in the game. No - I did not recreate the wheel as I want to show changes and not just recreate what has been done - but for the record, it would be part of my ideal Dolphins set. On to the main changes! I kept the logo the same, but removed the darker shade of blue and changed it to more of a gray because...well...dolphin. I also gave the numbers a funky drop shadow that is in line with their wordmark. In addition to the gray on the logo, I've also added a gray set of pants. Some may like it, some may not, I actually do. Simple striping pattern on the home, away and alt. Home teal, white away, orange alt. Kept going with the city pride theme and created what I like to call - the Miami Vice alt. For that, I went with a faded black as the primary color with the blue and pink accents. The helmet is actually a design I submitted years ago in a UniWatch Dolphins redesign contest that ended up placing. For the alt, I just recolored it to fit the set, but the original submission is in traditional Miami colors in the helmet options. I was actually going to make that the primary helmet, but changed last minute. Sleeve striping has shaded colors of blue with a pink cap to represent the sun. Let me know what you think!

Not sure how I feel about gray pants, but everything else here is solid. Absolutely LOVE the Miami Vice set — awesome alt!

Jacksonville Jaguars (10 of 32)

Next up is Jacksonville. The Jags have gone under some wild changes over the past few years from extreme designs to very simplistic. Their current sets just don't do it for me. Too simple, too plain, to blocky. When I think Jaguars, I think sleek, sharp edges. I almost pivoted back to what I would think could've been a next evolution of their set from 2013-2017. 4 helmet / jersey options including a fauxback set. For the main - black home, white away, alt teal and the teal fauxback. This one is more outside the box than some of my other designs. It's very similar to the set I created for them in my last series that got a lot of love. Just made a few important tweaks to make it better (hopefully). Let me know what you think!

I love these! They seem like a perfect continuation of the 2013-17 jerseys. I don't think the fauxback is neccessary, because it looks too similar to the teal alt.

Ooh. Those Jags are so clean. 

[jaytavo305]

I really like that Houston set, I've never seen the logo split like the flag but that is a great idea that they totally missed out on, haha. Really clever striping patterns as well. jags also look great, glad to see that throwback logo back in use, I've always loved that logo.

Yeah I definitely agree with you being very similar. I was going for a blend of years, but way too similar. I may revisit at the end and play around with it.

Thanks so much! Big fan of the old Jags logo as well

Las Vegas Raiders (11 of 32)

Vegas...still weird to say that. But here we have the Raiders. I'm not looking to re-invent the wheel here as this is one of the few teams in the NFL that have a timeless look. I made some minor adjustments to their primary set and added a little spice into some alternates and helmets. I will say, I never realized how much the Raiders could use a white or black helmet. I love how these turned out. Changes to the unis - wordmark above the numbers on all sets which is new for the Raiders. 3 pant sets - silver primary with black and white as options as well. Added a new silver alt with white numbers. Kept the white alt with the silver numbers (such a clean look and one of the best in the league). And lastly I added what I like to call the "Sin City" alt. Kind of a play on the city editions that I've been making for some teams. Yeah, I went a little outside the box on that one with the helmet, but hey, it's Vegas, so why not have some fun. I've said enough. Hope you enjoy and always looking for feedback good or bad!

Nice.  I think white pants should only be used with the alternates. I love the subtle Vegas gold touches on the last alternate. It doesn’t force anything, and it meshes perfectly with the Raiders color scheme.

I quite like that otherwise blank helmet with the crosses swords in the back. Is there a reason you didn't use the swords from or ones similar to those in the  primary Raiders logo?

Thanks! It was just a preference really. I liked the look of the sword handles better and wanted to try something different.  For that helmet - just wanted to do something outside the box of "normal" where you'd see the logo on the side of a helmet.

New England Patriots (12 of 32)

It's a new era in New England. I feel as though New England needs a strong identity. Their current sets don't do that for me. I'm a big history fan, so I was looking forward to creating this set. The final designs I settled on were actually supposed to be an alternate, but I went full on American Revolution and made that the primary theme. I truly love when a team can incorporate local history in their design so this one was a lot of fun. For the main changes - Pat Patriot is back full time on the primary helmet. Silver has now become just an accent color (seen on Pat Patriot, secondary pants and on the silver alt jersey). Also created a throwback flying Elvis helmet and a third style which I did not create a set for. Might get to that in the future. Blue home, white away, silver and red alts, and a fauxback set which is more a mashup of eras. White and blue pants are the primary, with silver being more optional. For the unis - striping pattern on the sleeves pays homage to the Son's of Liberty. It's representative of their flag with 5 stripes. 13 star patch over the left chest representing the 13 original colonies. 1776 written on the inside collar. Red socks across all sets to match the Pat Patriot logo. Lastly, I made a fauxback set which is more a mashup of eras with different designs and fonts. As always - hope you enjoy!

Patriots are your first real miss imo 

[Indigo]

Nice idea, but the faux back is the best out of all the uniforms, and that’s a problem. Maybe don’t lean too far into the 1776 theme, and focus more on the Pats’ history than the nation’s.

Agree the Blue throwback is the only good one here

Fully understand and respect all the feedback. The 1776 and the stars were actually a very last minute addition to the set. I still love it overall, but I totally see how these may be better suited to be more of an alternate than they are a primary set.

 

For what it's worth - here was the original design for the home, away and alt.

Glad you ditched Pat, you made him look undead

This is an improvement. I liked how you downplayed silver in your original concepts. I'd prefer white helmets and white or blue pants. That's just me though and I know silver is pretty engrained into the Patriots look at this point.

Agree - I was trying to get away from the silver. Here's what it would look like with the white and blue pants with the white lid. I am liking this, but feel there's something off with the blue pants. The striping is a little complicated. Thoughts on this?
