dmhtfld Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 thanks for the template manIm not tryin to be a jerk but your not the first one to use one of these procombat pics as a template. I made one right after they released the high quality pic of virginia techs uniform. I like the way you helmet looks on your template but i think my jersey angle is alot easier to put numbers and designs on. You have also put your template out there for others to use so i respect that also. heres a pic of mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewharrington Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 bigmike,1. Not your fault, but Nike should have put the players in full length socks. 2. The numbers look like they're sublimated into the jersey. There's probably a way for you to make them look more like sewn twill, which would make it much better. Try making a displacement map and/or reducing the apparent 'transparency' of the numbers. 3. I think almost everyone gets this wrong, but Bear Bryant actually wore a hat with black and white gingham plaid, not houndstooth. From far away, looks a lot like houndstooth, but alas: I still don't have a website, but I have a dribbble now! http://dribbble.com/andyharry [The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent the position, strategy or opinions of adidas and/or its brands.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo_prankster Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I think the colors for the argyle sleeves should be switched around. Still, this looks really sharp.On the helmet, which logo would we be seeing; the ram, the tar heel foot, or the NC logo?

andrewharrington Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I did a little tinkering and got a decent result in about 5 mins. For just one or two numbers, it makes more sense to simply draw them by hand right on the jersey with the pen tool or the polygonal lasso tool.1. So, I made a new layer above the facemask layer and I drew the shape of a number 5. I made the number a little thicker, knowing it was going to be a two-color number with an outline. I eyedropped gold from the pants and painted in my selection.2. Next, I made a new layer and I chose Select > Modify > Contract and choked in my selection 5 pixels (now that I look at it, the outline is a little thin, so maybe go 6 pixels, or 7-8 pixels for a thicker outline, like on the Raiders' throwbacks). I painted in this shape with white and I was left with a nice clean number, white outlined in gold, but it looked flat and the shadows were too stark, like it was sublimated into the fabric.3. First I applied a drop shadow to both the gold layer (outline) and the white layer (fill). A very small drop shadow, like 2-3 pixels on the gold and 1-2 pixels on the white, just to give the shapes some visual lift as if they were thick pieces of twill layered on top of one another.4. Then I dropped the opacity of the white layer to 50% and copied that layer to the very top of the image. I took the opacity of this layer to 65% and got rid of the drop shadow. The purpose of this step is to eliminate the darkness of the shadows.This is what the final product looked like. Not too bad. Note the layer order on the right.

I think almost everyone gets this wrong, but Bear Bryant actually wore a hat with black and white gingham plaid, not houndstooth. From far away, looks a lot like houndstooth, but alas:Yeah, I just kind of threw it together to see how it looked, if I were to ever post one, I would try to work on the numbers some more. Your's looks really good, I'll play around with it to see how it looks, and I figured someone would say something about the socks I wish they had the NFL styled socks where you could make the top part Crimson and the bottom white. Like I said thought I just threw something together to see how it looked and worked. Also, I've noticed Bear Bryant wore the checkered styled hat. I think I have seen a picture of him wearing a hat that has houndstooth but it's still in a checkered style, he never wore the kind I used but I was just trying to mimic what the team did a couple years back, plus now a dayseveryone in Alabama wears houndstooth. Thanks again for the tips on the numbers though! Check out my new NFL 2016 Series! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I still can't figure out why Alabama and their fans have embraced the houndstooth. You might be able to clone in the upper part of the socks.

You might be able to clone in the upper part of the socks.Cause Bear wore a hounds tooth hat. That is why plan and simple.So dense.If you would have read it all, you'd see that earlier in the thread I pointed out that Bear Bryant wore a black and white (sometimes even blue and white) gingham plaid hat, NOT a houndstooth hat. Yet, for some reason we always see the houndstooth pattern associated with Bryant, though it's incorrect. It's not so 'plan and simple', hence the question.
