Lights Out Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 IOWA HAWKEYESThe sleeve design is inspired by Iowa's infamous Apex One uniforms, while the pants striping is inspired by their basketball shorts. I used the updated hawkeye logo that was proposed in 2000, because I think it looks a lot cleaner and better overall. The number/NOB font, again, is currently used by Iowa's basketball team. I'm a big proponent of consistency across a school's uniforms in all sports, so this is a step towards that. Thoughts? POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knnhrvy16 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I dig the helmet and top...but not so much the pants. The first thought I had was that the striping pattern was giving me the bird I'd say make the pattern two stripes like the top, and remove the diamond. I get that you're going for identity consistency and I admire that, but I'm not sure those little things work here. Anyways, fix those up and you've got a winner! Nice work and good on you for using the modern hawk! Really like it! 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 A clean look that goes away from the Steelers imitation. For the most part, I'm partial to everything. Except the pant stripe. I get the inspiration behind it, but I feel like that will just look very thick in reality. Maybe go with two stripes for consistency with the jersey and offset them like the sleeves? Good start here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerodynamix Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I love the concept, as it's different from the Steelers template that the Hawkeyes wear. But please, please. Iowa fans absolutely hate the "Crackhawk". Stick the old Tigerhawk on the helmet and pants and it'll be golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbannon92 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I really like it...the color selection, the striping, the font, the logo...all of it works really well. My only suggestion would be to flip the pants stripes and lower them so they're below the horizontal seam, then put the logo on the side of the pants.

drdougfresh Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I dig it. I also think mbannon's suggestion would make this look the best. I disagree with the white though, I think it would mess up how clean this looks already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 Yeah, I don't like how Iowa and the Steelers muddy up their look with white. The only football teams that can really pull off using yellow AND white are the Chargers and the Minnesota Gophers, IMO.

knnhrvy16 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Muuuch better! I love that. I'll "third" mbannon's suggestion too, and after that I think you'll have a perfect set! Well done!

Lights Out Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 I will fix Iowa soon, but in the meantime here's the...BOISE STATE BRONCOSThe turf pattern on the helmet shell, sleeves, and pants panels reflects the famous blue turf of Boise State. The serif numbers with drop shadows reflect the numbers on the yard lines. The orange striping is there merely to accent the design and make sure that orange is used. Thoughts?

aawagner011 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I like the direction of this one. Though, I'd stick with the regular number font. That yard marker font is not very distinctive. You could use that rationale for most NFL teams and a lot of NCAA teams, besides Boise. It's not like it's an exclusive font to the Broncos field. Looks good, though!

bigmike Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 This is great, I've actually thought about doing a concept like this before using the turf texture but I never did, you executed it very well though and the matching number font looks good, I'm sure the Mountain West would have a come apart if Boise tried wearing these at home.

Lights Out Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 Rocky Long might burst into tears and curl up into the fetal position (you know, like his fellow San Diego football head coach does at halftime every week) at the sight of it.
