mcrosby Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 The thread in the Sports logos section really got me thinking to how simple the badgers uniforms could be, and i think that the one time deal in the 90's was a great try, even if it was just a Dallas Cowboys templete complete with Cardinal.so for this concept i got rid of the black, it just doesnt seem neccessary. I tried to keep simple with every part of it--tell me whatcha think https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udubs03 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I really, really like these. Totally gets away from the Nebraska similarities.The only things I would change would be to make the helmet with one stripe or none. Maybe lose the 'Motion W' on the chest.I would love to see these on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sec19Row53 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Very nice. For "uniformity" purposes, I'd either drop the helmet stripes, or add them to the pants. Maybe as an homage to the past, have a small motion W at the back end of the helmet, or use a small Bucky there - repeating the pattern on the pants. It's where I sit.

illwauk Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 It's not necessary to make Bucky completely red. Most mascot logos use colors that aren't "official." As far as the unis, take the sripes off the helmet and reduce the W on the pants by about 75%.Inspired by Simplicity should be the state slogan of Wisconsin.Yea, because Lake Geneva is the whole f***in' state...

Gothamite Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I think an all-cardinal Bucky doesn't read as well as the black-and-cardinal version.I like the basic layout, but I think you're making too much use of the Motion W. And that has nothing to do with my disdain for the motion W - even if I liked it, repeating it five times on the uniform is too much.Still, it's pretty good. Dropping the black is a huge improvement.

lets_go_red Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Huge fan of the dropping of the black...but I gotta say I love their current uniform set...dont get me wrong yours look nice but the only thing I would do to the badgers unis would be dropping the blach from the motion W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallWonk Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Excellent, excellent concept.Couple of things I'd change nonetheless:1. Bucky needs the black. I applaud keeping black off the uniform, but the little animal logo just looks better with two colors. Taking the black off the football team's uniform is a good thing. But I'm not sure all my wife's UW sweatshirts need to have all-red Bucky logos.2. Just look at that stripe on Bucky's head. The helmets need a single, wide stripe down the middle. Still, better no stripe at all like your second version than run-of-the-mill double stripes. I'd really like to see the Badgers wear these uniforms.I take that back. I'd really like to see U of Minnesota wear uniforms as good as what you've designed here for the Badgers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackerBadger Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 If you are looking to emulate badger striping, this is a badger:That would seem to suggest negative striping (i.e. white stripe bordered by red on white).The road outfit isn't very red without, oh, RED PANTS!And while you're at it, for something red that UW's never done, what about red shoes?

PackerBadger Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Also: I don't think white panels on dark jerseys look as good as dark panels on white jerseys. (See the Red Wings' two jerseys.) So I'd think about getting rid of the white panel on the cardinal jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PackerBadger Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Speaking of which ...British blamed for Basra badgersThe badgers appeared near the British base in BasraBritish forces have denied rumours that they released a plague of ferocious badgers into the Iraqi city of Basra.Word spread among the populace that UK troops had introduced strange man-eating, bear-like beasts into the area to sow panic.But several of the creatures, caught and killed by local farmers, have been identified by experts as honey badgers.The rumours spread because the animals had appeared near the British base at Basra airport.UK military spokesman Major Mike Shearer said: "We can categorically state that we have not released man-eating badgers into the area."We have been told these are indigenous nocturnal carnivores that don't attack humans unless cornered."The director of Basra's veterinary hospital, Mushtaq Abdul-Mahdi, has inspected several of the animals' corpses.He told the AFP news agency: "These appeared before the fall of the regime in 1986. They are known locally as Al-Girta."Talk that this animal was brought by the British forces is incorrect and unscientific."Dr Ghazi Yaqub Azzam, deputy dean of Basra's veterinary college, speculated that the badgers were being driven towards the city because of flooding in marshland north of Basra.But the assurances did little to convince some members of the public.One housewife, Suad Hassan, 30, claimed she had been attacked by one of the badgers as she slept."My husband hurried to shoot it but it was as swift as a deer," she said. "It is the size of a dog but his head is like a monkey," she told AFP. THE HONEY BADGERAlso known as a ratel, it is a large, sharp-clawed mammalAt around 100cm (39in) long it is slightly bigger than its British woodland cousinCapable of taking on a cobra, the animal weighs up to 14kg (30lb)Its Latin name is mellivora capensis, and it is indigenous to Africa and the Middle East Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
