cyclonefan_1 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hey guys, I was feeling creative tonight and decided to make a Pro Combat jersey of my school, Iowa State.I used the 1956 uniforms for a base of the idea. The football team in the 50s were not terribly great but I thought that the uniforms looked good and wanted to utilize the under shirt stripes. for the logos, numbers, etc..., I used the university's present athletic identity. For the under shirt I used a slogan that is popular at Iowa State: Cyclone Nation. This is usually drawn with the ONE in cyclone a different color but I felt it looked better on this shirt all in one color. Let me know what you all think. Thanks!The 1956 Uniforms: The undershirt, design, and gloves: The Pro Combat Uniform: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Wow...great way to fuse the old-school look with the current typography. I likes! One question, though...as the pants in that old picture have no stripes, yet your concept does, would it not be more cohesive to adorn the helmet with the same kind of stripe, or leave both blank to match? Just a thought.(Oh--and player Trice's first name wouldn't happen to be Obie, would it?) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespleenenator Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 The idea isn't bad, but the execution is lacking. It looks much to MS Paintish, and not Pro Combat. I don't really know if that makes sense or not. It's mostly presentation issues. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the schools first African- American athlete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclonefan_1 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Alright, so I posted this concept on our Iowa State boards and they did not get the best reception, mostly because there is no historical appeal. Instead the story of Jack Trice, as he was already partially discussed on here, was brought up.Trice's story is one that is very well known by us Iowa Staters. The story in a very quick summary is that he was Iowa State's first African- American athlete. He was a very well respected and liked student and person who hoped to gain a college degree to return to the south and help out fellow African- Americans. Jack was not allowed to stay with the team in their hotel when they went to Minnesota in 1923, his sophomore year. During the game, Trice suffered injuries from the Gophers due to him being the best player on either side of the line. He passed after arriving back in Ames, IA the day after the game. The vast majority of the students attended his funeral service held on campus. Eventually, Iowa States football stadium was named after him due to a student effort to honor the university's first black athlete.Our board, www.cyclonefanatic.com, went to work after I posted my original Pro Combat and come up with ways to honor Trice while also going along with Pro Combat ideas. Here is what we came up with. Thank you for taking the time to check this out.

henburg Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I like your newest version much better. The cyclone logo is neat, the font is great and there haven't been any Pro Combats like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Seizure Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Nice work! Esp. the 'TAKE COVER' moniker on the inside collar. I would LOVE to see this put on a newer template like this one. Founder and Commissioner, World Gridiron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonefan_1 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 I will download it and mess around to see what I come up with. Thanks for the template.Anyways, some one brought up that the 3 stripes would look to much like Adidas, and since the uniform actually had 5 stripes on it (the two outside are hidden by Trice's arms) I changed the model to have 5 stripes.What do you guys think? To cluttered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Cunningham Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The stripes are a bit thin now, especially in comparison to the two on the sleeves. Maybe do what was done on the originals and have that outer most stripe on each side overlap with the side panels of the jersey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespleenenator Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 ISU Beatle's concept is brilliant. I really hope Iowa State wears something like that in the future! Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character.

cyclonefan_1 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 I went back to the drawing board and used the template from these boards for paint to put the Jack Trice concept on. I hope you guys enjoy the improved presentation and let me know what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancealot Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 They actually looks so good would love to see them worn, but maybey add a black outline to the stripes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I tell you what...I would LOVE to see that hit the field.

andrewharrington Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Definitely a great look. I love just the I on the helmet.

cyclonefan_1 Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Thanks guys.. A few of us have emailed the AD and another said that the designs we have sent in had made it to the equipment office. All of us are hoping that the athletic department can make this happen.
