Mingjai Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I never read the Uniwatch blog, but the other day I happened to come across the posts linking to colorizations done by various readers. It was like a revelation to me, because I always get caught in the rut of visualizing old school as black and white. I'd never done a colorization before in Photoshop, so I decided to try my hand at an old photo from 1937 I'd seen hanging in many places around campus when I was at BYU. I only spent about 20 minutes on the photo, so the hand coloring is a bit crude, but that was enough to help me visualize what the uniforms used to look like.I'd like this thread to become a place where other board members visualize "old school" uniforms by colorizing old photos or reposting others' colorizations. I'm not sure it this thread belongs in "Concepts" or "Sports Logos," but I'm posting it here where there's more traffic and if it gets moved and/or merged with another thread, so be it. Anyway, if I make any more, I'll post them here.BYU 1937EDIT: There are many ways to colorize in Photoshop. I used the tutorial here (http://www.photoshopbox.com/Photo-Retouch/Colorizing-Black-and-White-Photos.html) which uses adjustment layers to allow you to make simple edits to your color choices.

Drakonius26 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Very nice, and I like the uniforms... much more tasteful and easy on the eyes compared to some of the designs of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSky Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 what was the reasoning for the stripes on the lower sleeves? and the stripes on the front body ?I've read they were to help with gripping the ball. How, whether it was different material or whatever, I don't know, but it's supposedly the reason for these early Bears jerseys: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
