LEWJ Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 For this concept, I've obviously went with tradition.I went with a jersey set similar to what the Hokies wore in the '60s, Frank Beamer's playing days (jersey on far left.)This set it also very similar to this jersey.I chose to go this route with the jerseys because a lot of people were stating how much they liked this jersey.(I also added a rememberance ribbon, that could work as a permanent fixture, tell me what you think).So here it is (Pants are iinterchangeable):Here it is with orange sleeve numbers.Here it is with dropshadow numbers, I added a drop shadow because I liked the effect it has on the jersey Mike Vick is wearing here.Here it is with a white facemask.C&C pretty please. | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockngoalie1 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Even though I'm not a big fan of VT, I really like this. The tradition aspect really goes well with the team.Also, thank you for giving the respect to the victims lost in the shooting. My friend would have had her 20th birthday yesterday...

WSU151 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Great set so far...I really like these.What would a white facemask look like, just to throw a shout out to the Jim Druckenmiller days (my favorite VT uniforms, ever)?

gingerbreadmann Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I would respect VT so much more when we played them if they wore these. Really nice job; I have no major complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 As a VT grad and avid fan, I would LOVE to see them wear something like this! I have to admit that I liked the fact we went with something new and different but it has definitely worn off and I think it's time for another change. I also like that you kept the maroon facemask with the old stripes that used to be on the helmet. I never liked the white facemask. Excellent work!

Really nice job; I have no major complaints.How bout minor complaints? Thanks for the positive feedback guys, I love to hear this stuff after spending a good amount of time on a concept.And I'm guessing the permanent addition of the rememberance ribbon doesn't look too bad?It was originally on the left chest (player's right chest), but then I realized it should be over the heart, like most rememberance patches (that's the reason the Nike logo is on the left side (player's right).And how bout the placement of the ACC logo? Is it required to be on the uniform? 'Cause that's the only reason I put it there.I tried to make this as realistic as possible. | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 LEWJ,The ACC logo would usually go on the jersey itself, next to the Nike logo or ribbon. I actually like the white facemask in the concept, but in reality the maroon would probably look better. Any chance the sleeve number colors can be reversed on both, so the numbers are orange?

kewp80 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I like, but I could go without the orange drop shadow. Just a strait outline would do. Other than that these look really nice.

Yea I realize it usually goes on the jersey, but I wanted to keep it less cluttered. I thought about putting the ribbon on the pants (to make room for the ACC logo), but that would kinda defeat the purpose [of being over the heart].And I'm a big big fan of concistency when it comes to uniform sets, and to me the orange numbers never looked right on the sleeves because of the inconsistency.I will make up a version with orange sleeve numbers, just for you though . | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEWJ Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 Here is a version for WSU151, with orange sleeve numbers.And here is a version for kewp80, with just an outline around the numbers.

Spearhead Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I love these throwbacks to the Hokie look of the 1960s. But I would go one step further and switch back to the old Virginia Tech helmet decal: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Thanks, man I like the drop shadow as my favorite, but the others look good. Again, good job with these, LEWJ, and thanks for changing it per request. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

-(dp)- Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Not bad. I think the pants should be flipped though, maroon with white jersey, white with maroon jersey. There seems to be just a bit too much going on. I think the numbers could work with no outline at all, and the contrasting sleeve cuffs aren't needed. I would make them the same color as the jersey. Other than those two things, it looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than those two things, it looks great.Yea I originally just had white pants and I put them next to the white jersey because I really like the white on white look (especially because I've seen this "white out" jersey.But then I later added maroon pants, so I just put em next to the maroon jersey, but the pants are interchangeable.I'd probably make the primary home jersey the maroon with white pants, like you said. | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
