JPDesign Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Next up from the Central division is the Cleveland Cavaliers! I think this turned out to be a pretty classic set with a hint of modernity. I took their trim striping and translated it here. I liked the way to color-blocked sleeves looked with the striping. It added some interest beyond just three lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoyolaProp1 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I'm just not a fan of the yellow they use as a primary color on the alternate, but the home and road are simply perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beast3 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Gold helmet would look better for the wine and white jersey IMO. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDesign Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 Now our penultimate team, and one of my favorites I've done in the series thus far, the Indiana Pacers. I thought their striping worked well as shoulder loops, and they way the color block the main side panel created a nice opportunity for using contrasting sleeves. I also went with an extra wide helmet stripe to mimic the wide part of the pants stripe. For whatever reason I liked the way the roundel looked on the helmet, though I had tried it on many other teams and disliked it. So for the alternate I went with an oversized "P."

Moser316 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 This thread has been a pleasure to follow, your concepts are all very well executed. Can't wait to see what you have in store for the Bucks, and maybe a bonus round in store (Supersonics)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you do a "Cavfanatic" alternate as well and use the blue in a jersey? thanks! Been a pleasure to follow along!

LoyolaProp1 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I think I like the big P for the Pacers more than the logo you used on the primary sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH4 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 The Pacers is great. The shoulder sleeve is a nice way of translating the piping, but the pant stripe I'm not sold on but there's not a whole lot you could do. The rounded logo does look much better on the primary helmet than the P but the alt is pretty dope too. Great thread by the way sad to see it almost end.

chibimatty Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I like the big P on the yellow helmet, though I dunno how it would look on the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucknut42 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 This is a very nice thread. I'm glad you had the creativity to think up this concept. Any other conversions to come? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingBuckeye7 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 You should have a throwback navy jersey for the cavs and a throwback for the hawks as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPDesign Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 Here we are at the end. The final team, the Milwaukee Bucks! First, a no-brainer, I put the horns on the helmet. Secondly, I thought their tapered side panels worked well as a tapered yoke, similar to what Michigan State has. Then for the away, I brought back a gorgeous throwback; complete with Bongo!I want to say thanks for everyone that followed along! I had a lot of fun doing this, so no doubt I'll be doing something else in the future. Thank you for all your suggestions, they may not have all shown up in the thread but I tried almost all of them and I appreciate the feedback. Cheers!

ATolly66 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Awesome series! For Bucks alt jerseys, could you make the numbers black? I think that would make them "pop" more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moser316 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Awesome series! For Bucks alt jerseys, could you make the numbers black? I think that would make them "pop" more.Then it wouldn't be true to the spirit of the throwback, the Bucks didn't wear black numbers in the 1980's, and they shouldn't be anywhere near the throwback alternate.Very nice work, and great idea using the antlers instead of the logo for the helmets. Their striping pattern also translates very well to a football uniform. The alternates, though, are my favorite of the bunch. Showing some restraint with the Irish Rainbows works well here.

chibimatty Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 For the throwback I thought you may have mixed the old purple with the Irish rainbows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR.E_BOBCAT Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Great work. Love the updated Spurs unis. I wonder what they would look like with some of the color of their vintage logo incorporated.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
