wloowarrior22 Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 So after watching the Hawkeyes play absolutely horendous all season long, today being the tipping point, it got me thinking we need a change and wondered what the Hawks would look like in a more modern, total ridiculousness uniform.For the helmet I decided to go with a chrome logo on a matte helmet. I feel like this would look terrible on almost any other uniform, but I think it could strangely almost work here.Next for the jersey, I went with metalic esque numbers in the same font that the basketball team currently uses to give it a modern look. The next element I put in is the shoulder stripes, meant to pay homage to the Tim Dwight era monstrocities. The stripes will be the same color as the jersey, but a different material to be noticed in different lighting. Subtle effect that I think works here.For the pants I kept it simple, but chose to use the same reflective material for the logo background on the hip.Let me know what you thinkC&C is appreciated (unless its about changing the hawk logo, never going to happen)Uploaded with ImageShack.us
hockey week Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 dark metallic numbers on black would be brutal to see. You would have this effect, especially at a distance or for televisionMake them a metallic white, and this is pretty good.The helmet logo is really big, too. That's great for an alternate or one-offs, but full time? It's a bit much. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.
Dark Horse Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 I really love the helmet, but I don't like the shoulder designs (one of my irks about Nike uniforms in general is the odd designs, just doesn't look professional if done wrong).

NWAcornhole Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 not to derail the thread here, but i need some help with a iowa logo and you might know. Do you know what the font is in this image? did you use this font in your design?
JPDesign Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 Oh god! The gradients!But seriously, I think you're bringing too many materials/finishes into the mix here. A traditional Iowa uniform with modern materials could work. However giving a very modern look, and crazy materials is too far for Iowa.
wloowarrior22 Posted November 18, 2012 Author Posted November 18, 2012 part of the idea of this was going "way too far for Iowa." Believe me I'm an Iowa traditionalist and if they ever switched to this I would hate myself, this was just something insane that I thought of.As far as the font goes, I could not find a font for the school. It is almost impossible, if you can find it let me know

It is almost impossible, if you can find it let me knowIt definitely is serpentine, so thanks to delayed penalty for helping me there. helped me to create these accurately.Id also like to second the notion that the gradients on the numbers isnt for the best. Arkansas had that going on with their jerseys this yeart and the announcers are always commenting on how hard it is to read the numbers from up in the press box. its also really hard for the fans too both in person and on tv
