andrewharrington Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Not really too much to say here. I fixed what I thought to be the obvious, glaring weaknesses in the Cowboys' look; I think most would agree with that. I've always liked their unique tones of silver, so I opted for a darker, greener-tinged silver throughout this piece. I added a little sprinkle of excellence with those custom numbers based off the 'western' style serif block numbers. It not flashy, but does it really need to be? Yeehaw and enjoy. Note: It's difficult to tell, but that's silver trim around all the numbers, shirt stripes and sock stripes. From a design standpoint, the silver trim is not really necessary. The jerseys and socks would work with (and match) the helmet and pants if they didn't have the silver trim, but I really wanted some silver in the jerseys.

I'm not in love with the number font, for some reason. Also, where's the extra block of fabric with a shoelace hole in it? Sorry. Just read that Uniwatch piece on the Cowboys jerseys.

GFB Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Yes! Yes! Yes!I love the elimination of the star on the blue jerseys, the consistency of the silverish-green, and the consistent uniform design. Great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG helmets Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 personally, I've always thought that Cowboys white unis were one of the best all around unis in sports. the only change I would make to the whites would be to make the numbers, stripes and names the same navy color as the helmet star.BUT, your navy concepts are a HUGE improvment over what they have. nice job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezus_Ghoti Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 This is awesome, but I don't think the star on the neckline would fly with NFL head offices. They like their own logo to be used there. Everything else, though, is exactly what I would do to streamline the 'Boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I love the Staubach number font, very nice job, this is how the Cowboys were meant to look.Maybe instead of having the star on the collar put it on the back above the name. Since the NFL logo goes on the collar. Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omnibus Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 100% what they should look like. I paticularly like the socks, white for the white jersey, navy for the navy jersey. Nice, neat and original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezus_Ghoti Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Yeah, I forgot to mention that I think the socks are the best part about this concept (although every part is pretty awesome). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshawaggie Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 This is absolutely perfect.You are the king of four word C&C.just like you are the king of snide remarks that have nothing to do with the topic at hand.As for the concept, it is very good. It really looks more 'uniform' than the Cowboys' cuurent duds. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the concept; it could be my screen, but it looks like two different blues to me on the home and roads. The blue one looks a tad more royal than I would like.

Jarred Revolver Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Wow, looking good.You gotta remove the star on the collar and replace it with the NFL Equipment logo though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I like it all except for the white star on the blues. Just totally doesn't fit with the rest of the identity for the Cowboys. I'd make the star blue with a white outline, and like others have suggested, put them over the nameplate.

StoneRaizer Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Love. It. The Cowboys are a huge mishmash of inconsistency. This is perfect - simple, consistent and looks like what the Cowboys would wear. Awesome job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantleisthebest7 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 You know its funny I was actually just thinking of how inconsistent the Cowboys are in thier looks and colors and then I come across this concept. This couldve just brought peace on earth, eliminated world hunger, and solved global warming all at once! The Cowboys are consistent now!!!! The children are parading the streets of Dallas with joy!!!!!!!No seriously, this is professional, top-notch work. If I were Jerry Jones and I saw this, I would put this into effect immediately. Great, great, great, great work!!! Jimmy Eat World Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
