vicfurth Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I figured I'd jump on the NFL concept bandwagon before it got going full-force. Actually, I was inspired the other day to create a thread where I tweaked or overhauled the whole league. Thus, I have started my first professional league project in quite some time, considering the Ultimate NCAA Baseball Project has been going for years. I may update that soon, I got a couple ideas for my next installment into that project.My main thing with this project is to make them look clean and detailed, with manufacturer logos and NFL logos.But back to football. I started with the Houston Texans. No, not because everyone else is, but because that's where the first idea came from. I started off by lightening the colors. I feel that the Texans' scheme was a little dark and dingy, so I brightened it up, made it pop a bit. Where the colors where and navy and red, now they're royal and lighter red.I also re-did the script. I kept the NFL's trend of really simple clean scripts, but chose a font that matches the Texans a bit more. It's more western style. I kept the number font though. As for the striping, I kept the bull theme going on the sleeves (reversing the stripes to taper towards the shoulder) and the horn striping on the pants. So, without further, I give you the Houston Texans: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Impaler Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I like it but think you need a set of blue or red pants for the roads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phitin Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Those pants stripes are nice and creative, I like 'em a lot. I just don't like the monochrome white road set, try adding a blue pants option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicfurth Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 I added a quick blue pants option:What ya guys think? I'll probably unveil a couple more this week before school starts up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 The blue pants should keep the same striping colors as the white ones. Just put a white outline around the stripes/horns and it will be fine.

BBTV Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Gold helmet.What? Where did that come from?Gold isn't anywhere in their palette. A gold hat would make them look like the (up until this year) Cleveland Cavs of football. If you give them a gold hat, you might as well change the NOB font to Comic Sans.

patsox Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I prefer the current navy, and the wordmark is to similar to the Cowboys' IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjzilligen Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 This is real cool, love the pant striping. However, I'd go back to a darker navy, it's just too bright and 'New York Giants football' to me, like others have said.

The Fixer Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I like their current shoulder stripe better and though I like the originality of the stripe and it looks great on it's own, I don't think it fits the uniform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeauxColonels Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Nice. I like the switch to royal blue and the pants striping is solid. It's definitely an improvement with the blue-white-red pant striping with a white outline. I look forward to see more soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just weird. Good update on the pants striping, I for one don't think Giants when I see this, so they are both royal blue, who cares?

vicfurth Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 #2 on the list is the Detroit Lions:They aren't necessarily bad, just don't quite fit the classic Detroit Lion look. I feel like I accomplished that with my re-design.It's amazing what a simple color change can do. As you can see, all black is completely gone, leaving the Honolulu Blue and silver. I wanted to dial the clock back a bit whilst keeping the modern and sleek feel of the newer logo. The font is much simpler now, complimenting the logo more than the older font. I considered a car-manufacturer style font (e.g., Ford Motors) but decided against it.As for the uniforms, I wanted a modern take on a classic. The sleeves have the timeless three-stripe look, same as the helmet. However, piping flows with the striping, adding a different feel that pleases both the old-school and new (I think).
