Lights Out Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 All right, so I've had Davidson's amazing Pro Combat template on my hard drive for a long time but haven't gotten around to using it yet. So I decided to start a series with NFL teams using the Pro Combats. I'll try to be creative and traditional with all of the uniforms.My first ones are tributes to two of my favorite NFL uniforms of all time - the Bears and Steelers 1994 75th anniversary throwbacks. These would be sparingly used as alternates and are modernized to look good on the field today while still keeping the spirit of the old ones alive.Bears:On the 1994 throwback, the numbers were in the left corner, but there was a lot of empty space in the middle. I decided to move the numbers to the center of the uniform to solve that problem. The pants were white on the 1994 uniform, but I changed them to yellow here because I thought it added some much-needed consistency. The collar slogan would be "DA BEARS."Steelers:On the 1994 throwback, the Pittsburgh crest was used in the center of the uniform. I replaced it with the Steelers' logo because that is more recognizable and marketable. I also added the Steelers' logo to the helmet. The collar slogan would be "BLITZBURGH."So what does everyone think? Should I continue this series or just drop it now?

JJSCOTT Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Why is the Bears one yellow and royal blue? Shouldn't it be orange and navy blue? other than that its a cool idea might wanna do a lil more than just taking the old look and putting it on a modern uniform style though.

MDC Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 And the design is off centered, and the top stripe goes through the undershirt sleeve. Keep working on it ---Owner of the NHA's Philadelphia Quakers, the UBA's Chicago Skyliners, and the CFA's Portland Beavers (2010 CFA2 Champions)--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJworks Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I dunno about these. They're just awkward and not too likely to be happening, they look more like soccer jerseys. I'm not too sure if this is what nike would be going for. Dribbble | Twitter | Facebook | Portfolio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 since when did the Bears do purple and teal?Those look like the New Orleans Hornets more than anything...and that's bad news Bears...no pun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAB Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Get your perspective right first. Right now you have it looking as if the template is two-dimensional. The "arrow" or whatever you wanna call it should be directly below the collar. Also, as it has been mentioned one side goes through the sleeve cuff while the other goes somewhat around the shoulder. Work on the perspective first before throwing out crazy designs like these. I like the originality here though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illwauk Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Why is the Bears one yellow and royal blue? Shouldn't it be orange and navy blue?Especially considering the color combo he's using here is closer to what the Packers used at the time. I don't think the Bears have ever worn yellow.

elliott Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Steelers logo on chest = lolwut? This isn't hockey....and why did you use the same awful vertically striped template on both of these? Shouldn't a throwback design be, well, classic looking? Dribbble ... Behance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkaKrock5cent Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Steelers logo on chest = lolwut? This isn't hockey....and why did you use the same awful vertically striped template on both of these? Shouldn't a throwback design be, well, classic looking?I see what he's tryin to do here. These are actually super old designs from the early early days of both teams. You can actually use a version of the Steelers set in Madden '10. They were even worn for a game in the 90's. So I see where he's comin from but I still don't like it. Pro Combats tend to be super futuristic so I'd stick with that.Here's a Link to what looks to be the Bear's version (although it's labeled steeler's http://media.photobucket.com/image/steelers%20throwback%201993/tmit12/292354.jpg ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Steelers logo on chest = lolwut? This isn't hockey....and why did you use the same awful vertically striped template on both of these? Shouldn't a throwback design be, well, classic looking?in addition to the Steelers pic, here's the one for the Bears. I'd say there's nothing wrong with using that template, and it is "classic" looking.

Brave-Bird 08 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I would have sublimated that pattern for the Bears...using two shades of navy blue.It would kind of resemble what the Patriots had on their jerseys in the late 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Where the hell do you see purple and teal??Facemask and helmet.The helmet is supposed to be navy blue.I was going to make the facemask yellow to match the uniform, but I guess I forgot - huge oversight on my part.As for the Bears' uni, the only action shot of it clearly shows that it is in navy and yellow, not navy and orange.

BBTV Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 actually, the action shot I posted shows orange, and my eyes saw orange when I watched them play in it back in '94.

Lights Out Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 It didn't look orange to my eyes, but it could've just been the lighting at the time that the photo was taken.I'll change the colors when I work on the uni again.

oldschoolvikings Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Yeah, its orange. I saw them play the Vikings in this uniform, and I still have it on VHS... its as orange as Tony Kornheiser's face. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Is this better?I changed the yellow to the Bears' actual orange, darkened the blue to what the Bears really use, finally got the helmet right, and I made the stripes fade in a gradient pattern because I just thought it looked better for the Bears.
