thespleenenator Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Well, I'm not one for introductions to concepts, so I'll just say that this is a concept thread with football concepts that have either not been done before, or are rarely done. First up, we have the America East, specifically, the University of Albany Great Danes.Now, with the Great Danes, I went with a classic look, with a bit of a modern flair. The look is pretty simple, the main different design elemetn being the shoulder stripes, based of the split colored A.HomeAwayHome AltComments would be appreciated.EDIT: I took these from screenshots because whenever I upload them from Inkscape, they dull the colors. 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...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 The only improvement here is the helmet, because the logo looks better on the white background. Other than that, this is extremely bland and aimless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the white helmet, it shows off the logo better. But overall, this just feels uninspired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespleenenator Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Thank you for the comments. I agree, I'm really stumped on the jerseys. I like the pants and Helmet, but the Jersey does seem much more bland now that I look at it again. I don't want to go too crazy (I think Albany would benefit from a more classic look, and I don't want an LSU clone [which is what they have now]), but it does need to be better than that.I'll keep it here for now while I work on Vermont, but I will revisit that in the very neer future. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me.

thespleenenator Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 I finally figured out what the problem was: the numbers. They were just so bland, and gave a clean uniform, no character. I finally changed that. I gave them a classier number font, and put gave them the same pattern as thier A, which i think is a defining feature in the Albany brand. Again, I didn't want to go crazy here, but I wanted to give them something unique.EDIT: One last question before I start on Vermont: Would NOB help these uniforms? I still feel like there is something missing. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me.

Brave-Bird 08 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 You didn't fix any problems. The numbers look worse now. The issues is lack of detail on the uniforms. There's no rhyme or reason to the concept. No continuity. TV numbers, better usage of both colors, etc. are all things that need to be considered.

I thought I gave them something unique, but wearable. I think TV numbers on this concept would be a bit overkill for the split numbers, and would clutter the shoulders. Also, I'm thinking about NOB and pants stripes. Would those be good? I want to become better at this. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me.

It doesn't belong on any sports uniform.For most sports, especially football, standard block is as classy as it gets.

drdougfresh Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 As a general rule of thumb, if it's acceptable to use in an academic essay, it's probably not going to look "right" on a uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 The numbers were not the issue in this first place. I guess that is what I also implied. The issue was the blandness and lack of continuity within the uniform elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
