Much better. This looks pretty sick, now. I'm still not a fan of the striping but I think it workd for this uniform, so I'll give you credit for that. I'd still try to center the striping, and maybe throw a logo or two on the unis.

Great update.

Is that spiked strip at the top suppose to be off to the right?

Updated:

The "bear head" logo has been added and the striping, including the spiked strip, is now centered. The spiked strip now stops before the armholes.

You're getting there, but the numbers should be white. Making them orange causes them to blend into the stripes and makes them too hard to read.

On our right side the top stripe stops at a seam, yet on the left it goes onto the sleeve, I think you need to rethink that stripe.

[Lights Out]

Hopefully this is better.

make the bear head a little smaller. Maybe try the number with just a navy outline. I think it would look better, but maybe it wouldn't - would have to see it.

The gradients are really cool here, definitely in the spirit of the pro-combat line.

Maybe want to lose the Nike logo, and make the socks more NFL-ish, since even though this is a Nike pro-combat concept, it's nice to envision what it would actually look like if put into production.

[JJSCOTT]

much better... i like the gradient effect on the stripes. dunno about the large # on the front though.

The 1994 Bears' throwback looks navy and orange in all the pictures I've seen, but SSUR says they were navy and gold.

Logo shrunk, NFL-style socks with striping, Nike branding removed.

I tried shrinking the number but it didn't look good, so I kept the large number.

[BBTV]

Digging it, except the socks. NFL requires that the entire calf be covered. Usually with white on the bottom half, though they make exceptions for throwbacks.

I just don't think Nike would let one of there jerseys go without the logo. They tend to put on everything possible.

[Lights Out]

I realize the socks aren't exactly NFL standard, but there's limits to what can be modified with the template.

Otherwise, I'm glad you like it.

I just don't think Nike would let one of there jerseys go without the logo. They tend to put on everything possible.

However, the NFL is anal about where jerseymakers can put their logo, so it would either be on the side of the uniform above the armhole or possibly on the back of the jersey - never on the front. Starter, Nike, Puma, and now Reebok have all had to follow these rules for many, many years.

I would also remove the bear logo and make the number plain white.

I would also remove the bear logo and make the number plain white.

The logo and number stroke were both added on the suggestions of other members, so I think I'll keep them. Removing them would make the concept too plain, IMO.

[BBTV]

Yeah, I think something else needs to go on the jersey, and I can't think of anything else, so I vote to keep the bear head.

Here's the thing though - how would this look with number 88 on it? Would too much of the design be lost behind a double number?

[BrianVlietDesign]

These are just downright ugly. I hoped to God we never see this kind of stuff. I mean, you're second attempt at a Bears uniform looks much better. But, this reminds me too much of the NHL's 1990s Third jersey campaign.

[andrewharrington]

Take it or leave it, but he outlined number simply doesn't fit the aesthetic of the old-time 'felt-strip' jersey you're emulating. I realize pro combat is modern in nature, but you've chosen to go the throwback route for the most part, as did many of the actual pro combat college teams, and your jersey will look better with one-color numbers and no logo, The outlined number competes with an already busy design (the orange panels), making the jersey look cluttered. The Bears themselves made this same mistake by using outlined numbers on their 1994 throwbacks (and using their current, round numbers instead of the more traditional block numbers that were used in the Bears' early days).
