knnhrvy16 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 So during the fall and I think the spring, Utah State (as does many other universities I'm sure) has flag football tournaments held on campus. I walked by a few games myself on my way to class a couple times, and it was really fun to watch. I got to thinking after a while, what if Flag Football was an official NCAA sport? Now, I'm totally all for tackle football, I'm not one of those safety advocates that would de-volve the sport into basically touch football. But I've always had fun playing flag, and given the intramural sucess of the sport, I think it'd be cool for the NCAA to adopt it (seperate from tackle football, of course. There's no way I'd want tackle to be de-volved).So....I bring you an NCAA Flag Football concept. I've started with my current school, Utah State. I don't know how many I'll do or which teams I'll design, but I wanted to throw this out there to see what you guys thought.About this particular concept: From what I've gathered here on campus, alot of people want Utah State to go the classic route in football again. What they have now is okay, but it's not particularly great either. Before the 2000's came along, Utah State usually wore pretty simple uniforms. After talking with the USU alums in my family, and gathering thier input on what an Aggie football team should look like, I decided to go simple too. The top is nearly identical to the uniform worn two years ago, which was in my opinion, a great look for them. The shorts, however, are a little different. The design is meant to mimic the Old Main, which features a large "A" on the top.Here's a picture of Old Main for feference:The shorts are interchangeable, as well as the socks. Anyways, here it is:What do you guys think? As I said before, I'm not sure who to do next, but some ideas for teams are in my head and I may go ahead and crank one or more out soon. C&C is much appreciated as always! The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right.

bigmike Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Cool idea! This is something you can get really creative with the uniforms too if you do more schools, I'll definitely be following this. Check out my new NFL 2016 Series! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knnhrvy16 Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 Thanks Bigmike! I'm glad you posted actually, because one of the teams I was thinking of doing was Alabama, and I decided to go ahead and do them. It'll be up shortly! The opinions I express are mine, and mine only.

Chapeeko Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 This is great because there is no rules. No "Tradition". You can just let your imagination go wild. I love this. Do you mind if I vectorize this template? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knnhrvy16 Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 Alabama Crimson TideWith Alabama, I wanted to keep a little bit of simplicity (from what I've seen, all of the Tide's athletic teams have pretty simple looks), but make it different all at the same time. I didn't see a whole lot of silver used with most of thier sports teams, so tried to use it well here. The numbers are based off of the ones used on the basketball uniforms, and to break the simplicity up a bit, I went with a more modern collar as well as a wordmark on the chest. I promise, I won't be this simple with other teams down the road, as I realize that doing Flag Football gives more room for creativity and hope to take advantage of that. With these first two teams, I just thought these would be the best looks for them. Anyways, Roll Tide:Arizona and Purdue are two teams I am thinking of right now, so you may see concepts from one or both here soon. Stay tuned, and thanks for viewing!

bigmike Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Looks pretty good, I'm not crazy about that number font, I think the traditional block font would look much better but that's just me.

knnhrvy16 Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 Thanks for the comments guys! I can tweak Alabama around if you guys would like, I sort of agree about the numbers. I was debating between the basketball numbers and block font, and thought I'd give the basketball numbers a go, but I can definetely change to block if you guys think it'd look better. Also, footyfumbler, what kind of stripes do you mean? Should I do two white stripes on crimson or one?In the meantime...Arizona WildcatsThis one was also semi-basketball inspired. I tried to match the numbers and script as best I couild to what is worn on the Wildcats' basketball unis, as I think they look pretty sharp. The uniform design itself also has some inspiration from the basketball uniform, but I tried to throw my own little touch into it. I gave Arizona red flags on both the home and away to try and counter the dominant navy and white on both uniforms:I'll probably get the suggested USC and Michigan tackled next, followed by Purdue possibly, and/or TCU.
