Lights Out Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I decided a Georgia Tech-like yoke would work great for the Bolts, albeit more jagged to match the lightning bolt logos. I brought back helmet numbers, powder blue as a home uniform, and yellow pants. Thoughts? POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin W. Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 The yoke definitely doesn't work.

kbaker19 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I agree, I'm not a fan of the yoke. Although I like the rest, except I'm not a fan of white helmets with white facemasks, so I would change that, but that's personal preference. Thanks Dolphins91 for the jersey avatars.

BBTV Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Really not a lot of good happening here. The yoke piping combined with the shoulder bolts is too much. You don't want anything in that area taking the eye away from the bolts.The rounded edges of the numbers makes an arguably weak font look weaker. The double outline is a little much too. If you're going to do it, at least make it consistent. On the home jersey, the inner outline matches the jersey color, meaning that there's only two new colors to the numbers (yellow and navy). On the white jersey, there's three colors. Either would be fine, just be consistent.Also, the inconsistent bolt treatment is glaring. Things don't always have to be consistent, but it's just so far off here, it's distracting. There's just too many different backgrounds.Also, the NFL would never go for numbers on a full-time helmet again, but since this is a concept, that's fine. If it was a proposal, it wouldn't fly.

Besides, the backs of helmets are nowadays cluttered (safety warnings, NOCSAE stamp, US flag, NFL shield, green dot, etc.) The Fictional Story of Austus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 Would getting rid of the piping on the yoke (basically making the stripes look almost the same as they do now) help? POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Would getting rid of the piping on the yoke (basically making the stripes look almost the same as they do now) help?It would help, but this would look much better if you got rid of the yoke altogether (and changed the color of the bolts where appropriate).

JJSCOTT Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 i don't mind the connection of piping to the bolts but maybe round the bolts more how they currently are... reminds me of the old miami jersey style maybe look at those for reference. also the yellow looks more mustard colored in your mock ups.

loogodude90 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I really like these, from the modified bolt, to the bolts down the side. Very colorful and lively, but I don't know if they would work as primaries. The home uniform and yellow pants I think would work great as an alternate.
