Hawkeye15 Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 Previous Z logo and branding is much better than the new A logo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye15 Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 Main design element is the addition of the yellow piping which shows up flourescent yellow on yellow elements and as the primary gold color on blue elements. The piping includes the lightning flash in the pants stripe, sleeve stripe, and at the bottom of the jersey numbers. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye15 Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 The sleeve design should feel like a husky without being too over the top. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyJimmy Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 ah yes, the Big 26 Â those red NIU jerseys look sweet. as does everything Akron-related. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye15 Posted June 21, 2022 Author Share Posted June 21, 2022 To me, Bowling Green looks its best between 2008 and 2010 with the two-toned shoulder stripes. I tried to replicate that here with a unique stripe duplicated on the pants as well. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye15 Posted June 21, 2022 Author Share Posted June 21, 2022 Leaning into the rocket with the moon behind it as the new primary logo / helmet logo. The overall design is more futuristic ... why not when you are the rockets? 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye15 Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 Buffalo's current brand is very close for me. I like the gray and black when used in moderation, so I kept the gray pants. The sleeves and number font have a bull horn feature to them. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye15 Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 Eastern Michigan's primary E logo is incredibly lifeless. So I flipped things around and went with the E logo their baseball team uses. The rest of the design elements follow suit. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Toledo is probably the best of this MAC bunch. I think the only improvement on them you need to make is thickening the outline on the road numbers. They'd lose legibility pretty easily in real life. Maybe have them similar to the Raiders' throwbacks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye15 Posted June 23, 2022 Author Share Posted June 23, 2022 My goal was to tastefully use a feather as a helmet stripe without it being over the top. I then repeat that diagonal lined stripe on the cuffs and the pants. The numbers have a drop shadow to mirror the primary logo. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye15 Posted June 23, 2022 Author Share Posted June 23, 2022 The main design element is the yellow stitched pattern, which is supposed to have a cowboy feel to it. The yellow stitches only ever appear on brown, so that means brown stripes show up on white elements. Western Michigan should have ran a '73 throwback by now. What a unique design with the footballs on the shoulders. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_grateful_ted Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 CMU is very nice, subtle use of the feather  which ended up looking great. Would like to see just a little more yellow for western, but the overall vibe is very solid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Love the simplicity and unique pattern used for WMU. CMU looks great except for the number font. I like what they use currently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye15 Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. Â The striping pattern is phenomenal and unique to Cincinnati. Let's make it bigger and more visible. Shrink down the sleeve logo to fit inside the dang sleeve cap. The red underline also merges into the sleeve stripe. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye15 Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 The Indiana vertical stripes appear solely on the sleeve cuffs. The sleeve caps has sublimated vertical stripes that lead into the solid stripes. The helmet (double stripe) and pants (single stripe) have matching sublimated stripes. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye15 Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share Posted June 25, 2022 Self-explanatory ... this was the best Illinois looked. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye15 Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share Posted June 25, 2022 The Northwestern stripe is back ... in black. I really like the purple and black combination for Northwestern so I stuck with that, at least for the home uniforms. No black pants on the road, however. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye15 Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 Only change for my Hawkeyes happens on the sleeves. Shrink down the stripe so that it actually fits modern jerseys. The ends of the thicker yellow stripe taper at the end similar to the stripes on these uniforms: Â 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
