bigmike Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Alright so after about a month and half hiatus, I've finally completed the Legends division. My laptop crashed right around Christmas and I had to get a new hard drive, luckily I was able to save all my work and I've finally begun the process of working on some new concepts. This division was fun, there are a couple teams who have nearly flawless uniforms, but I tweaked and tried to come up with some new ideas for each team, so we will start out with the most updated team first Iowa.Iowa Hawkeyes For Iowa, I wanted to come up with something completely new, I hate their current Steeler rip off uniforms, so I tried to come up with something unique. The design mostly inspired by Iowa's basketball uniforms. I used a new font for the wordmark, names, and numbers. The design is implemented in the entire uniform and pretty much speaks for itself.Home and Away UniformsAlternate UniformsMichigan State SpartansI think Michigan State already has a great uniform set, but I made my own improvements to it, it all starts with the helmet stripe which is a little wider and is supposed to mimic the spartan logo, because of this I didn't want the Spartan to be on the side of the helmet, rather than going with a plain helmet I opted for numbers on the side. The jersey's feature a shoulder yoke, somewhat similar to their current uniforms, the pants feature a new stripe, and I also included green pants, the pants are interchangeable as usual.Home and Away UniformsMichigan WolverineFor Michigan I stuck with traditional uniforms for the most part, I took inspiration from their "bumblebee" Under the Lights uniforms, and sublimated the stripes on the regular home uniforms, the stripes are actually maize on the away similar to how Michigan always has some maize on their white jerseys. The alternate sets are a mix between their current uniforms and the Under the Lights uniforms.Home and Away UniformsAlternate Uniforms Check out my new NFL 2016 Series!

bigmike Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Minnesota Golden GophersI didn't stray too much from their current set, which looks fantastic. I added a gold helmet, and took away the outline on the logo. I also a sleeve stripe pattern similar to what appears on the gopher's sweater in this logo.Home and Away UniformsAlternate Uniforms Nebraska CornhuskersNot much of a difference from my last Nebraska concept, update the font to roundslab similar to their throwback uniforms from a couple years back, also switched to a new block N logo.Home and Away UniformsNorthwestern WildcatsNorthwestern has some great uniforms as is, I tweaked the set a bit. I used the N logo with a wildcat on top of it on the helmet, and I created a custom font to match the N logo which is used in the entire set. All of the pants also feature Northwestern stripes now and the Jersey stripes wrap all the way around.Home and Away Uniforms Alternate Uniforms Check out my new NFL 2016 Series!

joechicago Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I dig the Iowa striping and the MSU helmet.I'm late to comment on the first group, and I know I'm in the minorty, but I can't express how much I dislike the Illinois zig-zag/gradient letters look overall. I love the idea of Illinois going to a white helmet, but I personally think the A.dept can't get away from the gradients and zigzags fast enough.

LETSGOBLUEBEATMSU Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I like all of the Michigan ones except for the away. Use the white alternate as the away and for the alternate take the out back bowl uniforms and switch the white to maize with blue numbers and blue pants.

debo0775 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 As much as I love the N-Cat, the stylized N should be the only thing on NU's helmets. I do agree completely on the Northwestern striping on the pants, though.*an aside, I never understood how Northwestern got away from using Northwestern striping.

bigmike Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 Maryland TerrapinsI actually like Maryland's current uniforms, they could be tweaked a little bit but for the most part I think they are very good. So I just decided to tweak the uniforms, I added the flag pattern seen on their pride uniforms as a sublimated design on the shoulders. I also created a new helmet, all of the helmets would have a matte finish with the M/flag logo. The pants only feature one line of piping now instead of two.Home and Away UniformsAlternate UniformsRutgers Scarlet KnightsSo I did a Rutgers concept last year before their new uniforms came out, this is mainly an update of that concept. I used the striping pattern that appears on their current helmets on the helmet, jersey, and pants. I decided to use the more modern looking R logo and create a custom number/name font based off of the R logo. I really like how it turned out, appears to be a classic look with a modern twist on it and I think that would be a good move for them heading into the BIG.Home and Away UniformsSo that is finally it for the BIG conference, seeing as I didn't get many comments on the Legends division I'd like to hear some more. I recently posted a Duke and UNC concept and got a lot of request for Miami and FSU so I'm just gonna go ahead and finish the ACC conference soon. Check out my new NFL 2016 Series!

kbaker19 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Maryland is a thing of beauty. Same with Rutgers, although I do love the helmets they wear now.Now to commenting on others since I just saw this thread. I LOVE the Badgers and Illini uniforms. That ILLINI helmet is sweet. Nice work on the others as well, but I think those two were my favorites. For the Legends division, I have no real problems with any of them, except Minnesota. The striping on the sides is inconsistent and is bothering me for some reason. On the home uniform, it's yellow-maroon-yellow. On the away uniform, it's maroon-yellow-maroon. I'd flip the striping on the away to match the home set and the logo you provided in the links (which looks like has tiny black stripes in it as well, if you really wanted to base the striping off the logo.) Thanks Dolphins91 for the jersey avatars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Louis Cardinals Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 These are amazing! I like the sleeve stripe that rutgers has now better, but other than that these are A+ #9 LSU vs. TCU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iowa just looks great all around, especially the custom font, and that MSU helmet is genius.Can't wait to see more from ya!
