NFL Third Jerseys

[BBTV]

I really like this one. That helmet is just awesome, and the logo is great! I also love how this isn't the same old throwback we always see for the Bills. Nice job with the creativity here.

I'll admit, that's one idea for the Bills helmet that I've never even thought of before, and damn if it doesn't work. Perfect way to combine the best part of the modern buffalo (while losing the cheesy parts) with the best part of the old logo. I like the single-color aspect of it, but it still seems to be lacking something... but I really can't tell you what (which probably means that it's fine and I'm nuts.)

Well done with that part of it.

Okay, so it seems like I don't have too much to change on the Bills helmet, so I'm moving on. I think I've got the basic jersey design down for the Panthers, but I still have yet to finish the rest of the concept. Any other C&C on the Bills?

And gueman, I had tried out white a few times for the Ravens stripes, but I just didn't think it looked any better than what I have here. The purple and gold kinda got lost in with the black. I think I'll just keep white on the numbers and helmet for the uniform.

#5- CAROLINA PANTHERS

The first thing I wanted to do here was to make the jersey Carolina blue. And with this alternate, I eliminated silver as well. I've always liked the look of a lighter blue color with black, and this was a great opportunity to use it. The helmet is black, sort of resembling a panther's head. I used the alternate logo that you never seem to see anywhere for the Panthers, mainly because it only looks good on a black background. I tried to keep the uniform rather simple, but still use some claw-type marks (not sure exactly what they're supposed to be haha). I actually played around with alot of different designs on this one, and finally settled with this. The pants I changed alot too, I just couldn't get the claw marks to seem right because I had the running vertically before. I think the simple design works best here. Plain block numbers looked a little plain to me though, so I added some claw marks for the heck of it (might be overkill?). Whatdya think? Too much claw marks? Needs silver? C&C please.

Da Bears shall be up next! Expect orange.

Definitely needs silver. I'm liking the helmet, I'd love to see that on the field, but I think the numbers need a silver outline.

[fkaKrock5cent]

Overall I like it, I think it could use some more white to soften the clash between the back and the blue. I would add that to the numbers and the collar; maybe even the side claws?

I'm going to echo the comments posted above; silver or white (or both?) definately need to make an appearance for this set for the reason that these two colors don't contrast too well against each other. I'd love to see white numbers with a black and silver outline just to give this set some more color. That seems to be my only complaint, the additions of the claw marks look amazing. Would love to see some claw 'stripes' on the helmet though, maybe to make the helmet more than just a few key strokes resembling a panther.

Here's some of what I thought were the best options to add silver or white. Which combination do you guys think would work best? I'd like some opinions here.

[kbaker19]

Both option A's for me.

[CJworks]

I think either D.C. or D.B. would work. Wouldn't hate the A.A. though.

[aci]

My vote is for CB.

[fkaKrock5cent]

D.B all the way!

[DustDevil61]

I agree with the other poster--D (number) and B (jersey).

Here's a thought--what about doing the helmet in a way that the panther's eyes go over the front, as if the eyes were looking at you if you were looking at the helmet from the front? O what about doing a logo outline (white or silver that would match the logo's shape) wrapping around and connecting at the back, like the Seahawks? What you have here is nice, but those are a couple thoughts I had when I saw the helmet.

[justie]

D+C= and that is my vote

[brosephb26]

DB or CC for me

[north dakota]

I like B + A.

AD

[IceCap]

well that sure beats the hell out of anything the bills have now(except their throwbacks). everything is great though im still a little confused on whats going on with the shoulders. i still think you could match everything up a little better but i dont really see too much wrong. great work

I would say it beats out their throwbacks. Well done.

PANTHERS UPDATE

Thanks for the input everyone! It seemed that D was the best number choice, and I just went with the sleeves that fit those numbers the best, which was B. I took C Jay Z's suggestion of putting stripes on the helmet. I thought about making all 3 helmet stripes blue, but I felt it needed some white to balance it out. Another thing changed is the pants stripes, just included some blue and made the claw marks black to better match the jersey.

Hopefully this is the last update, I plan to start on the Bears today.

[CJworks]

That looks excellent. Great work on the Panthers, one of the best yet.

#6- CHICAGO BEARS

On this one I tried out many different ideas. I thought of basing it off throwbacks such as these from the 1920's but I eventually decided on just an orange jersey. While I did want to make it orange, I just couldn't think of too many good designs to use on the jersey, so I took inspiration from these wild uni's (from the 30's I think?). Obviously there's not enough room for every stripe on there, so I included them only on the shoulders. To mix it up a little I also used the Bears' alternate bear head logo on the helmet. I'm just a little iffy about this one, so I'd love to hear some comments!

Bengals next.
