Cujo Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 With a little help from a certain UF alumn, I came up with some new gear for Florida Gators Football. The ver first thing I did was ditch the half-cursive "Gators" script from the helmet. I think that looks god-awful. Instead I am using the interlocking UF from days past. Next I gave the uniforms more of a modern design. There was a debate wether or not to slap the gator head logo on the sleeves or on the pants. I went with the sleeves, but if you think it could be better placed, speak up. Anyways, C&C as always. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly he's the preseason favorite to take the Heisman this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyandlux Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Why don't you put the gator on the helmet and leave the UF as the secondary on the pants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackerBadger Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Not enough orange. At least orange alt pants, and, I'd argue, an orange jersey too for Wayne Peace Day at Florida Field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyes1 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 This would be amazing if you left the "Gators" text on the helmet. Put that on there and the Gators should seriously wear these jerseys. I love what you did here, nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I really like the jerseys, although this would be a case where schoolwide font uniformity would do even better. As long as you're making the switch from block varsity numbers to a bolder italicized font, why not just go ahead and use the same font that the basketball team does? It's close to what you have, but it's serifed, and just different enough that it looks like you tried to match them up but couldn't and compromised.My issue with these (number font aside) is the serious loss of orange. If you don't want orange pants, so be it. The white and blue look fine. But blue helmets + blue jerseys + white pants + orange trim = Boise State. This looks more like a Boise State concept than a Florida one. The Gators' orange lids make them stand out, and adds some life to some otherwise buttoned-down uniforms (simple royal/white with a little orange). I'd say you could even leave the script "Gators" off in favor of your "UF" monogram (in blue, outlined white).Standardizing the numbers and returning an orange helmet would make this not only acceptable, but a substantial upgrade from what they have now.

EJ_Barlik Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Sweet concept...try the Florida wordmark script on the helmets. Make them orange with the script in blue...and then stick the "Gators" wordmark on the pants going down...it would pick up the orange and look awesome, and be totally unique!

rmackman Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 your gator on the helmet looking forward has no nostrils and thus looks like a mutant frog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quantum Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I think the helmet needs to be orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
