Lights Out Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I've been struck with the college football concept bug lately, so here goes...LSULots of inspiration taken from their ProCombats (color scheme, sublimated tiger stripes). Every striping pattern and wordmark is now unified, the Geaux font is finally used for the numbers, and the tiger logo on the helmet is an actual tiger instead of a vague blob.Oregon StateWhile finding stuff for the concept, I came across Oregon State's academic logo, and it's so badass that I had to use it on the helmets. Everything here is mix-and-match, like the Ducks, but unlike Oregon, I wanted to emphasize a more classic look. Simple rounded striping and a beaver tail pattern make it pop.

Lights Out Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Ohio StateI didn't do much to the Buckeyes - I just switched to their ProCombat '40s number font from 2010 and added gray to the sleeves so the current striping pattern could flow better.MichiganOn the complete other end of the spectrum, I went unorthodox for Michigan, basing their look around the "bumblebee" road jersey from last season. The number font is based on this wordmark, and the maize facemask was a happy accident that I think looks better than the navy facemask for them.

Lights Out Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 NC StateBecause the helmet design is so wild here, I decided to keep the jerseys and pants basically as simple as they are now. I love their new wordmark with the "NCS" monogram inserted into "STATE," so I kept that, and I emphasized black more.UNCFar from the most unique concept I've done, but argyle always looks nice for UNC.

Brave-Bird 08 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Excellent stuff here. The OSU logo is really neat. Obviously, it took me a good, long gander to accept it...but the design has zero flaws. Oregon State, the LSU home, and the Ohio State concepts are my favorite. I feel like Ohio State could enhance its identity by replacing the number font they use with that on its current uniforms. I'm not a fan of how you did the sleeves for them, but overall it's a nice look.Make the road numbers purple for the Tigers. Oh, and I'm not diggin' the NC State helmet, but I'm pleasantly surprised with the jerseys and pants.Good job! Make more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmike Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I like these concepts, Michigan or UNC is probably my favorite of the bunch.The LSU uniforms look great, my only complaint is the gold numbers on the away jersey would probably be hard to read especially with the double outline. You could get away with using no outlines on the numbers for LSU by just using white on purple, and purple on white.I like everything about Oregon State except the logo, I'm not real crazy about it.Ohio State looks great, I always give them gray sleeves for my concepts too, that's something they need to do asap, the new number font is what really makes this concept stand out.Michigan looks great too, I'm a big fan of the bumblebee uniforms, and once again the number font really makes this stand out.NC State is the only big miss in this group, if you eliminated black that would help alot, the helmet is a good idea but I'm not sure how it would really look, if you tried a red helmet shell with a white logo that would look much better IMO.

WarriorFight Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I love the diamond pattern with UNC...although I'd be interested to see the diamonds as a helmet stripe. The michigan sleeves are the best part...I really like the blue/gold stripes. I love the Oregon State helmet logo...really classy, but i'd put some sort of reference to the old logos...after all, they are classic.LSU is really good...I like the darker gold but it looks too much like the ND gold...Maybe a slightly lighter shade between the yellow and gold would make it look more unique...I love the purple though.I feel like NC State has potential...but the black is messing with it...maybe if you try getting rid of it in the helmet...may look classier.Overall, great concepts.

nuordr Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I love that logo for Oregon State, the pants striping on the Tar Heels, and LSU's set only as an alternate. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Georgia TechI switched them to Adidas for :censored:s and giggles, and just overall went for a simplification of their current uniforms, which are among my favorites in college football.

Lights Out Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 GeorgiaI've had more or less this same concept sitting on my hard drive for months now, so I figured I might as well tweak it, finish it, and use it for this series.

JPDesign Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Not a fan of either of your last two concepts. The honeycomb pattern may look even worse magnified like that. I can only imagine what the horrible distortion of the techfit would do to it.As for the dog collar...that looks like it belongs in the XFL.

I like the honeycomb pattern for GT but only on the jersey and pants, I would get rid of the helmet stripe. For UGA, lose the dog collar and the helmet stripe would look better white.

mattb6 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 that dog collar is beast for georgia. I also like your michigan and oregon state unis, and the n.c. state helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportstar1212 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Most of these look pretty cool, but I'm not feeling LSU and Georgia Tech. My favorite one is Oregon State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 South CarolinaFor USCe, I brought back these helmets and went with simpler, classier uniforms based around that striping pattern.

thespleenenator Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I love the new USC uniforms, especially the striping.Georgia is a miss for me though. I like the helmet and shoulder stripes, but the pants stripes look way out of place. I would also keep the striping on the home uniform for the road jerseys. 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.

cohenj21 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Love most of these, especially UNC with the argyle pattern and Oregon State. Don't love the dog collar for UGA or the extensive honeycomb on Georgia Tech, but overall nice job as always. "Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand."
