College Football Rivalries

[Lights Out]

For the Cyclones, I brought back the "I trim" from the Seneca Wallace era uniforms on the collar, removed the USC ripoff shoulder striping, and added sleeve stripes instead. I brought the cyclone bird back to the helmet as well.

For the Hawkeyes, I brought back the "banana striping" from this uniform set but in a classier, less intrusive way. I also used the aborted updated tiger-hawk logo, which looks much better than the real one, IMO.

I love Iowa State's collar and I like that you made the Iowa jerseys not look like the Steelers' jersey.

Agreed. The ISU collar and red pants probably needs a little tidying up, but a couple extra minutes on Inkscape can fix that.

And this is a great idea.

Thanks! I use Photoshop, BTW, so I'm afraid I won't be spending any extra minutes in Inkscape.

[AnythingChicago]

^^Oh, OK.

For Iowa State, I think if you get rid of the I-collar and move the sleeve stripes onto the shoud like their current unis, you'd have a perfect full time-set.

Iowa looks perfect, great idea to bring back the 'banana striping'.

For Virginia, I brought back the distinctive trim and numbers from their mid-'90s set and introduced sword stripes based on the swords from their primary.

For Virginia Tech, I created a pattern which fades on the jersey, the pants stripe, and inside the numbers, and used gradients on the jersey in lieu of solid color. This is probably my most ambitious college football concept since the infamous Florida rivalry jersey.

I very much like these, no complaints at all. I know you probably already have these concepts planned, but maybe you get get around to doing Cincy vs. Miami(OH) or Cincy vs. Louisville one of these days.

[Lights Out]

I actually don't have it planned out very far. Cincy/Louisville is a good idea for my next two, thanks!

I'm fine with the VT microchipy pattern, but I would make a few changes. For starters, I would remove it from the jersey itself, and keep it in the numbers, the VT helmet logo, and the pants. Having it fade from the top of the jersey just looks odd to me. If you really want to use it, you could put it on the socks and undershirts as well. Unless you have a reason behind using those numbers, I would change them to a different font. The current one doesn't seem to fit in. I think this VT concept has potential, nice work.

[CJworks]

I've got to echo what Bmac said. While the techy pattern looks nice, it's a bit overkill and almost defeats it's use. I'd keep it sublimated on certain parts of the uniform, such as the numbers stripes and decals, and leave it at that. And yes, a change to a more techy font would look nice as well.

Also, I've been noticing that some of your colors are a bit off. I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but most of them don't match up with the current color pallette.

Nice work, nonetheless. I'm impressed with the series so far.

[Lights Out]

Strange, because I picked out that number font because I thought it was techy. As for the colors, they always get a bit washed out when I paste a logo into Photoshop - not sure how to fix that.

I'll definitely take your suggestions on VT.

[andrewharrington]

Those numbers and those colors on Virginia Tech are very Dunkin' Donut-esque. Those numbers on Virginia are just ugly. Some of the worst uni numbers ever.

[Punch]

Could you do a Minnesota vs. Wisconsin concept? Oh, you are doing rivalry concepts, nevermind.

I love these so far. The logos on the collars seem to run over the outline of the collar. Is this intentional or just a silly mistake?

this is better, but i think their current font fits perfecly because it is both techy and(at least i feel) it matches the logo. overall, these are all fantastic

[CJworks]

I agree with lenardo. The update looks great, but the current font would set it off. I think you should lose the gradients as well.

[Lights Out]

Unfortunately, I don't have their current font. Does anybody have it?

i dont know if this would help, but on the paint templates thread, virginia techs fonts are on the first page

[north dakota]

I love the Virginia Tech jersey's. I like the gradient jerseys and the numbers. I don't like the collar on Virginia that much, but the number font and pants are great.
