raysox Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 The cardinals have the worst uniforms in the NFL, one of the relics of the mid-2000s that refuses to die. I'm a big fan in the minor modern updates for uniforms like Minnesota, Cincinnati, and the Chargers have done. So that was my thinking for making the Cardinals have a simple refresh while trying to push the brand forward. Would love to hear your thoughts! 15 Quote @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dion Jones Jr. Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Now that is an amazing update for the cards jerseys, and I agree with ur take in the minor updates that have recently been coming out. I do remember ur old series about updating all NFL logos and jerseys, kinda curious about what ur Cardinals logo would look like in those jerseys Either way, a real amazing set and something the cards should definitely look to do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 Quick little update to the Cardinals concept. I ended up fixing the collar striping to match the cuffs, and I noticed an inconsistency with the white pants striping. Also added decals to the helmet, something I noticed was missing when I did..... The Commanders are weird. I love their helmet but think the rest of the uniform leaves a lot to be desired. I understand they want to distance themselves from the old brand, but I think they could do that with the color combination they were using. I don't think this is ground breaking but using the DC flag stripe could have been such a small win on the side panels. The color rush uniform may be my favorite, weirdly enough. Them having a black alternate stinks. I was thinking yellow like Minnesota uses, or maybe a grey. But the grey I started with felt flat and clashed with the colors. I was struggling to fix it, and decided to go with a more sandy-grey to lean into the warmer colors the Commies use. 9 1 Quote @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of the black alternate, but that's just because I think black alternates need to die for most teams. It works for the color scheme you have here, but I feel like Arizona could do better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works for the color scheme you have here, but I feel like Arizona could do better that one kind of felt like a layup. I think the Cards have black in their brand enough to pull it off without being BFBS, unlike a team like the Vikings would. Kind of reminded me of those black 49ers alts a few years ago. This is one of the few concepts i've done for an Arizona without turquoise. That may be fun to try, but in terms of a main color black was the best option IMO. 1 Quote @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the alt greys, seems unnecesary, but I am a guy who finds it annoying for teams to have uniforms that do not use team colors (The Oregon Effect, though it is fine for soccer since that is the historical tendency). The shoulder treatment is great, though I might recommend that the white jersey have white sleevecaps, because that extra maroon stripe seems unneeded.

I actually had those thoughts while building this. My original plan was to have the pants be yellow, white, and maroon going left to right (with the implication to mix and match), but didn't like how it looked with the grey set. Think of that as their color rush uniform. I think the maroon pants are implied lmao. As for the sleeve caps, I originally thought that too but the white jersey sleeves would mimic the DC flag one for one and that ruled out in my mind. If they were Washington Football Team still, i'd have gone yellow. But being all fake patriotic kind of tipped the scales towards a military alternate.

thesieve22 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Love the commanders color rush. Fits the military theme perfectly. Flag side panels are great. 10/10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raysox Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 I don't think it's a hot take to say the Ravens have busy numbers on otherwise a simple uniform. Obvious gripes with the black pants and black socks, but for the most part they've been the same since their inception. I was inspired last year with an idea to shift more towards a dark and moody Ravens brand, inspired by the social media graphics from recent years. The numbers are germanic in nature but feature a small gradient where numbers overlap. The striping pattern is inspired by the state flag of Maryland. 12 Quote @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I like the numbers, but they look kinda like Celtic knots and I think they may work better on the Minnesota Vikings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomba Tomba Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 If you're gonna remove the gold from the jerseys then why not remove it from the helmet as well? Outline the bird in red, change the B to white or remove it completely Quote If you read on the card you'll be cheating on your heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueYankee26 Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Got some TCU vibes from those Ravens jerseys with the red accents on a mostly purple and black uniform Quote trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 This series looks great so far! The Cardinals set is really nice. I always tend to imagine them with a more “rounded” font, but the unique block works well for them too. The Commanders set is a definite upgrade, as well. I’d maybe like to see it with their new number font, and I’d love to see you try your hand at the alternate being black, since the facemask is still black. The Ravens look great, I always love the idea of them being primarily purple & black with a little bit of red, with gold being basically eliminated. The number font with the shadows is super cool, that’s gotta be my favorite part. I am curious what it would look like if you went with a font more closely inspired by the image you referenced, as I’ve always felt that font could work really well on the jerseys. I’m looking forward to hopefully seeing more teams from you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
