Is this pattern too busy for a football uniform? (Mizzou concept)

[_RH_]

I was thinking again about Mizzou's recent traditional football uniforms, and how they're using a "northwestern" stripe pattern.   It was originally discussed in THIS and THIS post (based on @GFB conversation).  I was wondering how to make a "6 stripe" pattern work, and here's an idea:

Think that would be an interesting pattern for helmet / shoulders / pants without being too bizarre?

Not a bad idea, but I think it would work best as an isolated element (i.e. just on the helmet, or just on the pants). Using that pattern all over just looks too busy IMO. I like the thought behind it though... there's SO many teams that use the Northwestern stripes pattern, so it would be cool to see Missouri branch out a little more.

This is a really cool idea. You're using straight edges but the alternating colors gives it a wavy feel, which evokes some Tiger energy.  I agree you could use less, though, so maybe they could come off the sleeves since you lose that effect a bit.

 

Is it meant to have pinstripes on the edges or is that the template? Cause I don't think this concept needs it.

I find myself loving the optical illusion of waviness.  And wishing I'd thought of it.

It's not too busy.  But the scale and placement is poor.

Thanks for the thoughts ... the "pinstripes" at the edges were just a photoshop leftover that I didn't edit out.  @CLEstones how would you change the scale and placement?  I think @-Akronite- is right about the horizontal use not being as good, but I'm not sure how much wider it could be as pant / helmet stripes.
