MattD1972 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 While poking around the Gridiron Uniform Database, I found a very different Giants uniform that they lost the 1933 NFL Championship game while wearing. IK decided to tinker with this uniform and a similar time-frame Bears uniform on the Davidson template. It's not 100% accurate, thus the "Fauxback" name.Although the Giants uniform looks like it belongs on the ice rather than the field, it still looks good. The Bears' socks, while jarring at first, do grow on you. Because neither helmet would have a logo, I opted for team logos on the left breast.I characterize it as a work-in-progress because I have a few things I'm not satisfied with, starting with:The Bears' uniform number (spherize & warp aren't cooperating today).The Giants helmet. I tried the Princeton front and one that looks like Graham Hill's driving helmet,and I'm not fully satisfied with either one.C&C please.

AndrewPF Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I really like the idea of that Giants uniform, but I'm not really into the way it looks on that template. Something looks strange to me. Bears uniform is great though. http://i.imgur.com/4ahMZxD.png koizim said: And...and ya know what we gotta do? We gotta go kick him in da penis. He'll be injured. Injured bad.

andrewharrington Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I always thought it would be great to do a thread on cool throwbacks that we'll probably never see. Many people don't know about some of these great uniforms from the early eras of the league. I'd honestly ditch the team and league logos from the uniforms, and I'd keep the solid white numerals on the giants uniform (no red outline). And probably black or dark brown for shoes, belts and gloves for both teams.

capn89 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 It's funny how my first thoughts upon seeing the Giants jersey was "Montreal Canadians," then I read your post and surprised to discover it was something similar to what they once wore. Crazy. Very nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Oh, and to warp your numbers in Photoshop, just use the perspective filter. It also helps to give the numbers a tiny, hard drop shadow and a transparent grey stroke so they look like sewn, layered twill instead of flat sublimation.Here are some examples I've done in the past. Note how much more real and substantial (sewn on) the numbers look: I still don't have a website, but I have a dribbble now! http://dribbble.com/andyharry [The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent the position, strategy or opinions of adidas and/or its brands.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
