BBTV Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Alright, ladies and gentlemen, its finally Super Bowl Sunday. I wish I could be posting my Seahawks, but hey it is what it is. DISCLAIMER: Not a real conversation with Chip Kelly and a reporter. R: Chip, what improvements do you think your team needs to make? CK: Man, I sure miss my Ducks uniforms. All 360,000 of 'em. My first thought when designing the Eagles: no stripes. The Eagles are not a stripe team IMO. I did make them look a lot like the Ducks, yes. Mainly because I thought that it was a look that could work for them, and bring a new level of flair to the NFL. -Midnight Green is no longer present. Kelly green is. Black and light grey act as tertiary trim colors. As I call it "midnight grey" is added to the main scheme. -Three helmets, white, green and mdn. grey. Reflective, not chrome, wing pattern on helmet. Numbers on the back. -Same color jerseys. Iridescent wings, on shoulders, yet with room for TV numbers-New number font to more closely mimic the "EAGLES" wordmark, which was also simplified. -Pants have the wing motif repeated, with the eagle head on the side, adjusted for color changes. I'm not totally in love with this one but I think its a good change. C and C welcome as always.This is good work. A few comments:1. The helmet wing should be closer in shape to what they have now, at least how it originates from either side of the bumper. I get that it's a concept but that change would make it a more realistic option. 2. The gray jersey is nice. I've always thought there should me more silver / gray in their uniforms. Of course my idea was for a silver helmet with green wings, but since that ain't happening, a gray or charcoal jersey would work. Green pants only though. 3. To closer mimic the eagles word mark, maybe there could be two versions of each number - one with spikes on the right side. 4. I'd keep only one helmet - the green one. If an alt is desired, then gray or silver. "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

GriffinM6 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Grey set is nice. I'd still keep the white numbers on the home though. It gives me a feel of the previous alternate with it having the yellow numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyolaProp1 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I didn't want to stray too far from what Pittsburgh currently wears, but there is definetely stuff to be improved. -widened the helmet stripe on the black helmet, reintroduced the yellow helmet-rid the world of the italic font, replaced with normal block font-yellow numbers on home, black, outlined in ywellow on the away. -new throwback, one easier on the eyes if I might add. see here (1935 Pittsburgh Pirates), and I added a chest patch with the Coat of Arms of Pittsburgh to that jersey-grey uniform elements form a "Steel City" tribute uniform. NO TV NUMBERS. Diamond steel pattern on the shoulders, same pattern in numbers, used the Pitt Panthers pro combat font. -added back the white pants from the past. Kept the tan pants for the throwback. -striped socks across the board. C and C welcomeThe only thing I don't like is the tan pants. I really like their current number font as well. The thick helmet stripe works really nicely. Not sure how I feel about the gray set, but I don't dislike it per se. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFinkle Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 As an Eagle fan, oh man those suck, all of them. Appreciate the effort/time you took to do them, but just awful.For the Stillers, I like the white/white.Haha well it took me this long to get someone to say that about something in this threadThanks for taking my criticism in stride, young man.Uhmmm, might you be able to re-do the Iggles?? I can pay you!! LOLGood: The grey uni's, and having no black alts. The white helmets are also good. And getting rid of the Midnight Green is good.Bad: Those feathers are turrible on the jerseys, pants, and especially the helmets. I don't think the Iggles will ever change their current helmet/wings design. The pants just need simple stripes, that's it. Gray/green/white, thin ones.Overall, good stuff. Thanks for the efforts you've employed in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C and C welcome-The gray helmet needs a different stripe - possibly a black stripe with yellow outline, like the pants stripe. -The black jersey would look better with white or gray numbers-Just for NFL rules, the TV numbers need to be on the gray jersey. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFinkle Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I also like for the Stillers the black/white/gray combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakexedge Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 As far as the Steelers go, I like the home a lot, but I feel like the Nike logo should be white to kind of balance it all out a little bit.The gray uni's are plain ugly in my opinion. I do like the addition of the gold jersey though. As for the tan pants, they really only work with the bumblebee if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinturner95 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Ok, I completely went back on the Eagles. -went back to the eagle wings on the helmets-no wings on the jerseys any more -asymmetrical pants stripes  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinturner95 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Pittsburgh only has minor updates-home numbers go back to white-tan pants are gone-grey helmet stripe is black-number font on the grey is modified. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinturner95 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 And finally, the ChargersI love the Chargers uniforms. But like anything, some sligh modifications could be made. -powder blue over takes navy blue-lightning bolts now go over the shoulder. -powder blue jersey is now the home jersey-no more blue pants, yellow instead-navy blue helmet with yellow facemaskC and C is welcome on the last 3 posts  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Louis Cardinals Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Just curious, but what pants woulld the navy jersey go with? #9 LSU vs. TCU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinturner95 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Just curious, but what pants woulld the navy jersey go with?I did think about putting white/navy pants on there, but for this purpose, they would be worn with yellow.

JTswag187 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Change both facemasks to navy and avy pants and it's perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Steelers update is perfect. Only thing I'd change on the Chargers is making the logo on the navy helmet have a white outline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRB14 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 LOVE the Phila concept. Pittsburgh is much improved, no complaints there. For the Chargers, I'd make the bolt trim on the yellow pants navy, if they go with the navy jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePeam Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I say gray facemask for the white helmet and add a "yellow out" jersey. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaline97 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 The latest Eagles is great. The numbers fit really well, and the silver helmet is amazing.The new Steelers are great as well. I liked the yellow numbers better, but the white look good too.The Chargers are, in my opinion, a tough team to do, just because there are so many directions you can go with them. It all looks good, the road numbers are a little muddy, not sure how to fix that. Try to incorporate a little more yellow into the navy jersey so that it ties with the yellow on the helmet and the yellow pants. It'll have to break some consistencies with the regular home, but I think it would be an improvement.Good work as usual! Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinturner95 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 dsaline97 is right when he says there are so many ways I can go with the ChargersI kept it mostly the same but there are some changes-no navy pants. White w/Navy pants are there for being worn with the navy jerseys if they so desire-navy jersey features yellow more prominently -white helmet is now adorned with a grey facemask. -navy socks added-pants have a powder or navy belt option  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I'd just get rid of the navy crap altogether, the concept is just fine without it. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujju2 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Personally, I actually like a navy third. Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
