JCRGraphix Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I've been creating sports concepts since I can remember, and it is only in the past few years that I realized anybody else did this. I'm in the process of moving to Korea right now, and in the process of packing, I discovered an old cd with "Sports Designs" written on it. Out of curiosity, I loaded in up and found a bunch of concepts I made back in high school ten years ago! Most of them were pretty rough at best, so I decided to clean them up. Also, I needed a creative break from my Stadium Series/Winter Classic Project which I will continue in a week or so.First up is the fictitious Upper Peninsula University, a team I created and used extensively in NCAA 2004. As you can see, the helmet and logo are direct ripoffs from the Atlanta Falcons, also, I haven't used the Impact font in probably 7 years.These are pretty terrible, so I decided to start with a whole set of branding for the university. The university logo and seals are basically a generic looking clock tower like you'd see at a university. In the university logo, the clock tower points at Iron Mountain, where the university is located. I also decided to create a modern looking athletic logo as well as a traditional looking monogram logo.Then I created football uniforms based on this.C/C is more than welcome!

Clintau24 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Very nice! Really like the professional look of the logos. "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliasrappaport Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Love the logos. I hate red and black though. That's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWonka Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 More than just a clean up. This is like a team demolishing their old stadium, moving to a bigger market, and building a stadium 2x the size of their previous one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCRGraphix Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Up next is another rough looking one. I used the EXACT same template, just recolored. The university logo represents the sails from a dreadnought. I think I've gotten a little better in the last 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teddthebucfan Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Great concept, just one problem: Dreadnoughts never had sails, they were all steam powered. Shameless Self Promotion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevsim1 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Great concept, just one problem: Dreadnoughts never had sails, they were all steam powered.10 years ago that problem was there. There isn't an actual Dreadnought in the new concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCRGraphix Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Great concept, just one problem: Dreadnoughts never had sails, they were all steam powered.I was referring to a series of ships known as the HMS Dreadnought the first of which was built in the 1500s.http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Dreadnought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWonka Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Huh Jordan, think you're all cool and stuff putting out awesome concepts?I actually have a question that I could easily answer with a quick google search, but I'm too lazy.Are the collegiate seals that you're using the actual ones, or are those concepts too?
