TC Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Here is my FINAL design on the Minnesota Vikings, I think this is the best I will be able to get it. There is a shape cut through the stripes that resembles a "V" for Vikings. On the helmet is a cream-colored horn with purple ring sewn onto the leather of the helmet.C&C on the final design please.I am hoping to turn this into a series, and if that were to happen, I would just go in alphabetical order of team nickname. That said, the 49ers would be up first. I will try to have it up in the next week or two. We'll see how things look from there...All of my designs will be layed out as the Vikings one is. I will only be doing colored jerseys, to keep things simple. I will include a logo that will be made similar to the way I made the logo for the Vikings. 1/27/09- It was me, and I am sorry.

TC Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Thank you. I may make more but it may take time and I would still like more C&C on this please! 1/27/09- It was me, and I am sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 The jersey looks like a 70s era design on a 40s / 50s template. Look at the Packers, Bears, and Steelers from the era you're working in to get a better idea of what your jersey should look like.Now that's some c&c.

Gothamite Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 True enough - those sleeve stripes are too modern for your template.Love the idea of the Viking logo wearing a leather helmet with horns - you could take that even further.

A leather helmet with a horn pattern sewn in. Google old Princeton / Michigan leather helmets and look at how the design was done. You could do something similar for the horns. It would either be the pattern of the leather (a result of a new "template" if you will) or sewn on to a leather shell.

TC Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 Here is an update... 1/27/09- It was me, and I am sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Much better.Here's an idea (since I seem to have so many opinions on things...)The diagonal purple lines almost form a big M. I think you could work the stripes a little bit more to make the M more obvious. It may end up not looking that great, but it's worth a shot.Also work in some colored panels on the helmet like discussed earlier. Again, it may not work out, but I think the potential reward is worth the risk.

Yeah, I'll see if I can do something with the helmet. 1/27/09- It was me, and I am sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throwback Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 That update is pretty awesome, I don't think that playing on the M idea is nessessary because of you look hard enough there is a nice Norse style m right there. Love to see this become a series. ~?~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 The horn is probably going to be a piece of leather that is stitched or glued to the helmet, so I'd make the outline a little thicker so that it is clear that it is a separate piece of material and not just a decal. The top-right horn is probably the best. Remember, you can't get too fancy with this thing, as each color you use will require more cutting and stitching.
