Big East Football concepts

[dgnmrwrw]

Here's the Big East. Notes: Sorry for the West Virginia yellow. Again, the conversion to .png washed it out and changed the hue. I'm not sure about the use of yellow in Louisville. I really wanted to play it up, because I think it looks so great with the red and black, but others might not think it should be used so heavily by Louisville. Yes, I used the Husky on the UConn helmet. I love that logo, and I think it's a stronger icon and a better developed part of the UConn identity than the C is. Finally, I've made orange the dominant color for the Syracuse Orange. Go Figure.

Again, dgnmrwrw, these are beautiful. I particularly love Cinci and Connecticut, those touches of red in Uconn looks sick. I'm not feeling WV, though. Those shoulder stripes are very awkward.

I too think it's about time the Cuse go with an orange primary. The horns on the USF pants are awesome also.

My favorite of this group is Pitt. One thing I appreciate in your work are the times you go back a bit in uniform history and in that one you went back to the style of that era (Marino's) without going back to that shade of gold. Well-played.

My only gripe is the Rutgers "R". I know its the in the script, but I don't think it's helmet-worthy.

<crochity old man> Yellow is not on of Louisville's colors!! Now get off my lawn! </crochity old man>

Once again awesome!!

I can't help but look at the Louisville one and I keep seeing Maryland. Just the color combo I guess. I would leave it to red, black, and white. I think it would be wise to keep the 'Ville and Rutger's chest wordmarks because it helps identify the teams. I think USF and WVU have some funky striping going on there. I do like the collar on WVU how it goes to the back, though. Pitt is flawless. Best of the bunch.

I would love to see Cincinnati change the uniforms to those, with only one exception: three claw marks instead of two. Other than that I see nothing but great work here again.

How about 4 claw marks? The logo on the helmet has 4 little claws.

all very good, that uconn is amazing

I was trying to keep it consistent with the basketball uniform, which has three in the same area.

Very good work. My favorite of the conference is Connecticut. It's a great looking uniform and the touches of red look really good. I liked the design on the Louisville uniforms, but like some else said, I only see Maryland when I look at it.

Make Pitt's alt pants white and you've got a winner. Albeit plain, but a winner.

[Chuck717]

I would like to see that UConn set with the current C, or maybe a C with a red outline. Other than that (which is still good), these are all great!

[BBTV]

Yeah - IMO, the UConn C is a great helmet logo, much better than the Husky. From a distance, the husky would just look like a white mess. Go with the C, or a custom UConn script (maybe '80s Giants style, but better.)

I love the South Florida uniforms! The horns are great on the pants and everything seems to flow really well. Nice work!

[CDG1906]

i realey like Louville's alt jersey

[vicfurth]

I like all of them, actually. One thing about Rutgers bothers me though. You have a very traditional block number-set, but the helmet logo is the modern shaded R.

I would either put the traditional R on there, or experiment with different number fonts. As it stands now, the two clash a little bit.

[kbaker19]

I'd prefer the C for UConn and I'd ditch the yellow in Louisville. Other than that, I really like them.

[dgnmrwrw]

Thanks to everyone for replying. I got some really good feedback. To conserve space, I'll just respond to issues for each team instead of quoting everyone.

First up, the Pittsburgh road alternate. A suggestion was made to switch the blue pants to white. While I do like the look of blue pants (so they will be staying in the set), I have to admit an affinity for all-white road sets, in case anyone hasn't already noticed. And I agree that the all-white does really work here. So I'm adding another road option for Pitt.

I've already stated my love for the UConn Husky logo, but I can certainly understand legibility issues when using it on a helmet. So here's another UConn look, with the C on the helmet instead. What do you think? Husky helmet or C helmet?

Connecticut helmet option 2

As I thought might happen, some people didn't like all the yellow on Louisville's set, which I can understand. So I'm presenting a bit of a different look here. First, I dropped the yellow striping. Secondly, I added the wordmark above the numbers. And finally, I used an italicized font to match the wordmark. Is this an improvement?

Louisville option 2

There was good discussion about the Cincy claw marks, and I admit I wasn't sure how to do them. Let me explain why I did what I did. At first, I was going to do three stripes, like they currently use. But then I decided to try four, because (as someone else mentioned) there are four claws in the logo. But that got really busy on the shoulders, so I decided to split up the four marks, with two on each shoulder. It's not a perfect solution, but looking at each option, I thought it was the best. I'm still open to changing this if a majority of people seem to think that three or even four would be better.

The other major discussion seemed to be about the Rutgers helmet logo/numeral typeface. I'm partial to the logo I used on the helmet because it fits into their identity better, and the R they currently use is incredibly bland and generic. So I'll probably be going back and reworking the jersey numerals to match the style of the helmet logo.

Love the new louisville update. I really didnt like the yellow, but this is great.
