mbannon's College Football Experience

[mbannon92]

Well, since the thread is starting to lose interest, here's rest of the ACC.

First is Miami. A lot of people like to crazy with Miami with the split-color technique. I wanted to find a way to incorporate the split-color without going overboard. It shows up on the top of the collar, a simple stripe on each sleeve, and the pants. The pants are meant to look the the "U" logo from behind.

For Va Tech I took their Pro Combat striping and tamed it a little, matching the logo and numbers. I added a VT/state of Virginia logo on the pants and kept the home throwback. The road throwback could still be in play as well, but the template is for 3 unis.

UPDATE: Added an orange alt and the white throwback.

I didn't change a whole lot for Wake. I ditched the piping for a more traditional look, with triple-stripes on the pants, and added the deacon logo under the collar. That's about it though.

And can anyone tell me what's up with my TV numbers and NOBs? I don't know why they get distorted and the outlines get messed up.

I started my Virginia Tech concept with that same striping scheme on the jerseys!! didn't finish it that way though. These are nice. I like the fact you gave Wake a classy set

How funny would that have been if we posted the same design at the same time!

C'mon guys, just one comment?!

I love all of the recent concepts. Although, I don't feel the VT alt necessary; maybe a orange over maroon alt in it's place?

Yeah, I kinda thought the same thing. I wanted to keep the throwbacks since they wear them a lot and I personally like them, but I'll think about an orange alt.

I love the Miami concept, especially the pants, but having the split U design on the inside of the collar seems a bit much, since that wouldn't be seen in-game.

Solid work with Miami and VT! I love the split color on Miami and VT looks great. I just think that VT's third is kind of unnecessary, and could be replaced with a third color in the current striping. I also would drop the Virginia state silhouette from the pants. Good work on WF even though I'm not a fan of words/letters in places like the sleeves or pants.

I would also start using the new template put out by davidson, or maybe you did these before the template was released. Good work, can't wait to see more.

In Miami's I like the way you have opposite colors on each sleeve and then the neck to mirror their logo. They are the only team that can get away with that. I find the pants stripe to be somewhat boring. I have no problem with one-colored stripes, but it's so wide...check that. I just figured out what you were doing with it being the U logo on each leg so in that case, I like it, very creative.

On the other two,I have no complaints. they seem well-done.

I like Virginia Tech and Wake Forest, but as for Miami... I'm not a fan of the split color thing that a lot of people on these boards like to do. They got it right in the early 2000's, or more specifically their 2001 uniform set, and I wish they could somehow update that look to the Pro Combat uniforms. But I'm liking the Pro Combat pants and how they can be used to form a "U" if you look hard enough.

[mbannon92]

Updated Va Tech with an orange alt and the white throwback. While some of you said the throwbacks were unnecessary, they wear them a lot, so I wanted to keep it as an option.

[mbannon92]

All right, let's get this back up and running...moving on to the Big East.

There's only one team from the Big East in this concept. Of the 5 Nike schools, Pitt, UConn, and Syracuse all have the Pro Combat template, and I like Rutgers' look, so I left them out.

So, here are the West Virginia Mountaineers! I wanted to keep a similar look to what they have now, so I kept the number font and shoulder stripes, but I added a gradient to all the striping. No particular rhyme or reason, I just thought it looked good. I also added the WV logo to the chest, but with the ends extended and gradient-ed. I saw a similar idea on here sometime in the fall, so whoever you are, I give you credit.

[DeFrank]

loving the WV on the chest. nice work! might want to add a navy outline to gold on the away

[Chapeeko]

Like you said I think lenardo's concept is the one you're thinking of.

Yup, that's the one. It looks like they're fairly different...credit to lenardo anyway though.

[AnythingChicago]

WV is really cool.

All right, next up is the Big Ten. I have four teams from the now 12-team conference, both big rivalries.

First up is Iowa-Minnesota. For Iowa I went with a pretty similar look, just tweaking the sleeve stripes to differentiate the Hawkeyes from the Steelers and adding the logo on the side of the pants. I also included the throwback they wore this past year, minus the helmet numbers.
