Bohob's NCAA Football Concepts

13. Virginia Tech Hokies

For Virginia Tech I wanted to go in a modern direction. I also wanted that modern direction to highlight the Tech aspect of VT. For the logo, I used a segmented gradiation to split the V and T. That gradiation is carried throughout the typography and uniforms. The alternate jerseys incorporate a cardinal red to act as a two-tone effect against the burgundy. I tried white and burgundy, but it was too harsh against the orange jerseys. C&C please.

Two suggestions: it would work better with their normal number style and add an orange helmet. I absolutely loved the Orange Bowl helmet and I think it'd work here.

Overall, though, it's a great concept. I hated that shoulder style on their black Pro Combats but it works here, and I've always thought that gradient numbers looked cool.

[chestnutz]

I really like most of this. The jerseys are perfect, very creative. Maybe it's too small to see, but why isn't the gradient effect on the helmet logo?

Only thing I don't like is the wordmark. Maybe it'd look better without a stroke at all.

[bohob]

It is on the helmet logo. It's just that the logo is small in that rendering.

11. Tennessee Volunteers

I kept the primary logo and redesigned the wordmarks from the proportions of the T. With the uniforms, I am trying out a new template. As for the design itself, I always loved the Vols' endzones, so I worked them into the striping. I also added sublimated checkers to the front and back numbers of the home and away sets. There are two fauxbacks in this set, since I didn't have the heart to make a BFBS jersey. The first is based primarily on the 1947 team, while the second is the adaptation of the 1971 throwbacks the team wore in 2004. Hopefully I will get some C&C and not spend another month away from the boards.

Nice work! I really like the first uniform posted. They would look great with black socks.

VT is great. Are you taking requests? If so, I'd like to see what you can do with Cincinnati.

[Brave-Bird 08]

VT is so cool! the logo set especially. I'd kill to see any combo of those uniforms as pro combat...but never would I want those to be regular uiforms.

14. Cincinnati Bearcats

I don't usually take requests, but I was inspired by the Bearcats suggestion. I wanted to make Cincinnati stand out from the other black and red teams in college football, so I added charcoal grey to their color palette. While it does not appear on the logo set, the charcoal grey does appear quite a bit on the uniforms, creating a two-tone effect with the black. On the logo set, I added slash marks to that also appear on the uniforms. The slashes on the uniforms appear on the side panels and the pants, and both sets taper toward the back. I have two helmet options: charcoal and white. C&C please.

I'm often hard to impress as a fan of the Bearcats and Bengals, two of what I feel are the hardest teams to do concepts for.

But this really works. The stripes are simple, yet effective. And the charcoal gray is a nice touch, though I still think the concept could work with the use of black and red only, if reworked a little.

[AnythingChicago]

I like this, although I don't feel the stripes on the main logo necessary. The logo isn't wide enough to imply cat scratches. The kind of look like random lines. Although, I would definately keep the scratches on the script.

Great concept!

Any more thoughts on the Bearcats (or any of the teams)?

15. Purdue Boilermakers

With Purdue, I wanted to keep some of their tradition, but I also wanted to add signature elements where I could. The P is only mildly tweaked. I altered the shape of the right side better match the left side. The train logo is also tweaked, as I removed the PURDUE wordmark and replaced it with a train grill. The wordmark is developed from the proportions of the P logo, with the top version featuring added gray lines and extended U to make a train shape. The uniforms continue with the two-stripe scheme the school currently employs, but the numbers now have added subtle grey outlines and the front and back numbers feature rivets. I have added options for a blackout set, a white pants road set, and gold alternate jerseys. To top it off, I've created a fauxback that relies more on simplicity and features numbered helmets and simple one-color typography. C&C please.

[knnhrvy16]

I love Tennessee's, especially that wordmark. The checkerboard pattern serves as a great stripe design!

I usually am not a fan of "added" colors, but I like the charcoal gray with Cincinnati. The design is very nice and you've utilized the slash marks well throughout the uniform.

Though I'm still very partial to the Brees-era uniforms, I still really like what you've done with Purdue. The riveted numbers are a great touch, the new wordmark is fantastic, and everything balances out well throughout the entire set.

Great work, all in all!

[DPV713]

I've looked at all the uniforms in this thread, and I must say I saw none I didn't like. Great job on all of them, my favorite is the ASU faux-back.

[bohob]

Thanks for the comments knnhrvy and DPV. Anyone else have any thoughts?

[tBBP]

Pretty slick job there on those Boilers (of whom I now have a closer vantage point, by the way). The revised train looks better with that grill rather than the split wordmark that's currently in there. I'm thinking those rivets might be a touch too big, but I love the idea of them. Also, the thin double-stripe detail is genius...it translates well across all the uniforms. So, as a not-so-secret huge Purdue fan, this one gets an official thumbs up from me.

16. Wyoming Cowboys

A while back, I did a Texans jersey that was based on Western style shirts. This concept refines that idea. I also used the numbers from my Texas Rangers design. I updated the type for the Cowboys as well. For some reason, I am getting two browns. I will have to check on that. C&C please.

[wyopokes2]

Really love your UW concept. I am happy you gave them a wordmark. It drives me crazy that right now we don't have a word mark logo. I also really would like to see the yellow helmet. I would not mind seeing this on the field at all. Especially over the atrocity that is the "Missouri" template. Good job, I don't see too many Wyoming concepts on here, but I really love when I do.

[kbaker19]

For Cincinnati, I think the gray would work better as an alternate jersey and not as the primary and I would make that red or black. Really like Purdue and I really, really like Wyoming.
