gueman Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Driving home from work on Friday I saw the Fear the Turtle billboard with a real terrapin on it. Then this idea popped in to my head. It's radical I know...but obvious too. I know my nuts are gonna get busted but hey it is a concept unlike any on here before...I think.

NicholasEck Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 To me, it looks like crap. I believe you over did it with the shell. It might look better though with a black background instead of white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingssss Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 It's a good idea, I just don't know how it would look in an actual game. But fix it up a bit, first, and then we'll see. I think I like it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gueman Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 I know it is jarring to see a foot from your face on your monitor. Try stepping back about 5 to 10 feet to get the feel of it.

Wingz017 Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 The jerseys and pants would make it or break it, their current combo would look absolutely horrible, but with some work they would be very nice and extremely original, even though a terp doesn't wear its shell on its head.

It might look better though with a black background instead of white. You sig is pretty big.Anyway, I really do like this idea. I would love to see a jersey like this, with the mess kind of resembling the shell. On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc?

No, but they do use their shell for protection, which is exactly what a helmet does On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Jigga Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Okay, I hate UMd, but that would be a sweet TATC type of concept. Hell, it couldn't be any worse than Nike's "futuristic" look, right. With that shell pattern being the pants stripes or shoulder stripe or something, kinda in the way the basketball team has that awesome pattern on their jersey trim. Oh, and Wingz, eagles (Philly) and owls (Rice Univ.) don't wear wings on their heads either On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame.

VitaminD Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Full bonus points for thinking WAY outside the box. And it's nicely rendered. That said, I don't know how much I'd like it on the field of play. But this design could be applied to a baseball cap, and I'd think someone would buy it up. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

P.I.L.L. Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 GREAT IDEA... just needs to be fixed / executed right... (a familiar dillema for me) anywayyyyyy, 2 things: the pentagon / hexagon shell pattern shapes are too vertically stretched, and should be more symmetrical... and the colors~ perhaps too close to the Redskins? (relevant considering it's a DC metro team ... but I'm sure (UMD alumnus) Dan Snyder wouldn't dissaprove ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(relevant considering it's a DC metro team ... but I'm sure (UMD alumnus) Dan Snyder wouldn't dissaprove ... The colors are that of the University, yellow(ish), red, black and white which are the colors on the Maryland state flag. I belive the Redskins colors are burgundy, yellow and white. The shell pattern was traced from a real turtle so blame God for the asymmetrical pattern. As for the execution I know I am not the most skilled poster here, but that shouldn't limit myself or anyone else from presenting a novel concept. At least I don't fill the board with recolorizations, crossovers and HUGE sigs. Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. P. J.

G's-Us!gueman, P.I.L.L. didn't say anything even remotely warranting the tone of your comeback. It IS a great idea, but it COULD be executed better, sorry. The pattern DOES look vertically stretched, and while I won't blame God since he's my homeboy, I will say that you can kinda fluff with nature a bit since it's your concept and everything. He gave you props for the idea and gave you some ideas on how to make it stronger. It wasn't a silly post, it was C&C with a little humo(u)r included.
