Oldschoolvikings' NFL concepts - Bengals added

[oldschoolvikings 17,376]

Here's a new Eagles concept, based on the late 70's/early 80's look...

Another Ravens' concept... I think I've done about a dozen. This was just based on a helmet idea I had.

The Raven looks like a turkey. fix that and it would be better.

Have you ever seen a turkey? Looks more like a pigeon to me. A very angry pigeon.

City folk...

Another Cardinals concept. Just an idea popped in my head, trying to colonize some new space on a football uniform like Cleveland and Seattle...

[mbannon92 280]

I like the idea a lot, especially for a team like the Cardinals that hasn't traditionally worn sleeve stripes. I'd lose the yoke on the road jerseys though. It doesn't really work with the striping.

Like this?

Obviously, I tried it both ways. My concern with this version is that the white seemed a little empty. Not as big of a concern for the equally empty dark jersey just because the color carries so well. But, I don't know... what does everyone else think? Yoke or no yoke?

I like it with no yoke better, I don't think the white looks empty at all

[mbannon92 280]

Definitely no yoke. The red pants will help balance the white-heavy jersey and helmet.

[oldschoolvikings 17,376]

Definitely no yoke. The red pants will help balance the white-heavy jersey and helmet.

On a second look, I thin you might be right, although the jersey backs look a little plain. Should I try to incorporate the stripe to the back somehow?

I think the backs are fine. The front of the jersey is much more important, IMO.

A cleaned up version of an older idea of mine...

[mbannon92 280]

I like the striping a lot. Keeps the general idea of their current look but ties everything into the helmet better. My one suggestion would be to add silver trim to the striping on the black jersey/pants and black trim to the white jersey striping. That way it's more consistent with the helmet and silver pants.

[mbannon92 280]

Yes, except I would use black trim on the white jersey. That way the stripe is just the reverse color of the helmet stripe. The trim ties everything together real nicely, though.

I tried it that way but it bugged me that the stripes were blue with black trim while the numbers were black with blue trim... personal preference I guess.

[oldschoolvikings 17,376]

Inspired by the new Dolphin throwback. No dark blue, stripes, and I stuck a little helmet on the new Dolphin. (Yeah, I know, it doesn't really fit on him, but I just wanted to).

[mbannon92 280]

Ooh, I like that take on the striping. Never seen someone use stripes like the ones on the aqua elements and it works really well. I really like the number font too, though I would use a flat serif on the top of the 1 (like USC, Redskins throwbacks) to match the 5 and 3. And the helmet on the new dolphin doesn't look too shabby!

[13DolphinsFan91 5]

I would totally use/buy that jersey over the ones we have

That helmet on the Dolphins is great.

Doh! You are spot on about the "1". I customized off the Dallas Stars' font, but I missed that.

By the way, thanks for all the feedback lately... it's been helpful.
