jsb_0403 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 So, 1936 had one of the more interesting years as far as uniforms go. There were a lot of unique looks at that time, and I thought it would make a great series. This is only an 9 team series, but I think it will still be fun and interesting.Since finishing the 1936 season, I've decided to do the 100th Anniversary of the NFL. I'm going to try for every team to have a unique throwback, I may need help on some. I hope everyone enjoys the thread!100th AnniversaryAFC NorthBaltimore RavensCincinnati BengalsCleveland BrownsPittsburgh Steelers1936Boston RedskinsBrooklyn DodgersChicago BearsChicago CardinalsDetroit LionsGreen Bay PackersNew York GiantsPhiladelphia EaglesPittsburgh PiratesChicago BearsFirst up are the Bears, they were my inspiration in this whole thing. I thought they were beautiful. The striped socks, the striped shoulders, the helmets, all of it. I definitely think it was a great look for them in their history.C&C Please! jsb_0403's Take on the NFL | NFL's 100th Anniversary | Southern Arkansas University Concept Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knnhrvy16 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Looks nice! The one thing I'd suggest is for the stripes on the road jersey, maybe eliminate the sleeve stripes or put them on an undershirt. Right now, the shoulder pattern and sleeve pattern is cluttering up a bit and not flowing as well. Other than that though, I really like the look of it all. Nice work! 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.

rsaline Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 It's very 1936. The white one reminds me of the Michigan jersey worn this year. Which I thought was sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody21 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Looks good, but i ahve a problem with the striping. The white one has it on the shoulders and sleves, but the orange one has it only on the sleves. if these were to be a set it would be better if the striping was on the shoulders and the sleves on both jerseys. In the last game against Detroit, the time from ten minutes left to one minute left was probably the longest nine minutes of my life. But from one to zero was probably the greatest time I've ever had. I didn't want the clock to run out. It was such a great feeling: people crying in the stands, people jumping up and down, people cheering. Guys couldn't even sit up on the bench. It was probably the best minute of my life.Ah, the "I'm kidding" - the universal internet excuse for saying something that others perceived as dumb.

WizKid Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Just a quick question: Will you include tan like pants for certain teams like the Packers or the Steelers? I would kill to see that kind of throwback look here on the boards. GrizzlyBlack Designs, UDC Firebird  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hailstateunis Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Put one set of stripes on the undershirts and you've got a winner. http://www.hailstateunis.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Real simple, I like the Bears. I will be following this thread! Cool idea! Maybe even do some more non traditional teams. @MichaelDanger19Â | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I agree with the other poster that you should move the sleeve stripes to the undershirt. This will make it look not as clustered and will also be more true to the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey says football no matter what era you're replicating, and I think it's rather inconspicuous myself. The players of this era who did wear masks surely didn't wear helmet-colored masks. They were generall either grey or brownish-colored. I'll never understand these gents that seem to think that grey is such a distracting color, clashing with others and drawing attention to itself, when it really does the opposite, in my opinion.

Colored ones are definitely more modern.Thanks for all the feedback! Its all very helpful. The one thing a lot of people asked for was stripes on an undershirt. The problem is, I don't have a template with an undershirt. Is there a version of this template with an undershirt? jsb_0403's Take on the NFL | NFL's 100th Anniversary | Southern Arkansas University Concept Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thespleenenator Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 If you put a G logo on the Packers helmets, these should both be the respective teams full time sets. I love them, and amazing job! Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me.

The Imperfect Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Bears away jerseys are so sick I just hope not all the teams at the time had the same helmet design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsb_0403 Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 New York GiantsThe Giants provide a lot of variation from the other teams at that time. They had a blue stripe around the edge of the helmet and blue side panels, no other team had that. The stripes on the back of the pants, which were surprisingly common during that time, were strange to me, but awesome at the same time. If would be so cool to see a NFL team wear a throwback like this. jsb_0403's Take on the NFL | NFL's 100th Anniversary | Southern Arkansas University Concept Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsb_0403 Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 Here's an update to the Bears, I got my home and away uniforms mixed up.Brooklyn DodgersThis set, from what I read, would be a throwback for the Colts, who have very loose ties with the club. With all the green, it would be pretty cool to see the Colts in these, considering they always been a blue and white team. jsb_0403's Take on the NFL | NFL's 100th Anniversary | Southern Arkansas University Concept Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSky Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I've seen those back-o'-the-pants stripes in old NFL pics and have never understood the rationale. What in the world were they thinking?Oh, and these concepts are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
