Redsoxboi18 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Long time reader and fan of the site but finally worked up the courage to post here. I saw the new logo and was disappointed like many others so i decided to tweak things but try and mix both concepts to make something more traditional but new at the same time.This is my first time posting so please be gentle in your criticism as this took a lot of courage to post this stuff btw i apologize in advance about the sizes.

GriffinM6 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I like the subtle updates. Jerseys are a bit too simple though. They need a "unique" factor to them, like FSU has now. Great job for your first concept though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeTraylor Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 First of all, in my (inexpert) opinion, these are a great first concept and you shouldn't have any hesitation about posting. It's interesting to see a gold facemask on a gold helmet for the 'Noles, but in my opinion it takes a bit of "pop" away from an iconic football helmet. I'd love to see that small change go back to original, but keep the other tweaks to the helmet design (removal of the white in the spear worked well). Welcome (as a poster) to the boards!

Redsoxboi18 Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Thanks guys. I initially wanted to add more like the current collar and sleeve pattern with what they have now, only problem is I couldn't find a good enough picture to use. I personally am not a fan of the gold on gold that has been described but I wanted to try and keep true to the description as best as I could.

gator71 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I'm sitting here having a debate with myself as to whether or not you should add a gold outline to the numbers. Usually I would instantly choose the outline but I'm digging the simplistic feel. Maybe try an outline and see how it looks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsoxboi18 Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 There is a gold border on the numbers lol. Sorry you can't see it very well. I work in illustrator so I have to save out through photoshop in JPEG form. Kinda cuts the quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@UniformDesigns Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 That's what they are going to wear next year I hope you know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Put feathers on the spears on the helmet. The shoulders/sleeves would look better with TV numbers instead of the same logo that's on the pants. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsoxboi18 Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 In response to what was said about being worn this coming season, I am aware that's what's I based this all off of was the description that was posted earlier this week. And I tried the feathers on the helmet but chose not to because I didn't like the look of it. But I will put the feathers back on the helmet and see what y'all think. I'll also put the different stripes on the pants I originally posted as well. They are kinda like the stripes used in the pro combats fsu wore a few years back and I will post soon. Thanks for the feedback though guys I appreciate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redsoxboi18 Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 i made to font pretty much a more hard cut lined version of the current fsu font used on their football uniforms though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRicSlick Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I hope the blackout is not a fan favorite. I hope FSU will stick to Garnet and Gold and leave the black as a trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soarindude Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Fix the collar. I doubt FSU gets rid of their unique collarmarks that signify the culture affiliated with the Seminoles. This look resembles Boston College way too much. Also, I think you need to work on changing the color even more, trying to return it back to what it once was. Get rid of the goofy border at least.

Redsoxboi18 Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'd love to use the pattern they use for the trimming on the uniforms. only problem is i cant find a good picture to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandMooreArt Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 i made the font.lol. so i updated it with the blackout uni that apparently is a fan favorite so here it is with the changes i was going to makei think this is a really cool start. the impression i got from FSU is the spears would cross each other in the back of the helmet instead of meet together like that, which i think is a better idea. it should look like 2 spears on the helmet not a Darth Maul double ended spear.the collar design for FSU has always been something special for them. i think what they have right now is pretty terrible, but i do like the idea of having some sort of pattern there. take a look at Native weaving patterns or wampum. theres better ideas in that than a feather thing i think. your name-on-back font is probably a bit too wide for that area. think about long names, something like Houshmenzadeh has to fit on there. just make it taller. im not feeling the pants design. that large feather dominates the whole uniform and has no flow with the leg at all. its actually going the wrong direction. (think about how the Denver Broncos do their stripe). i think a better idea is to make a stripe out of the spear shaft and run that down the leg. then you get the repetition of that pattern from the helmet. or, if you find anything interesting for the collar design you could use it on the pants too GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakotapalm Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Florida State had a really original trim stripe in the mid-1990s. Here's an example with Warrick Dunn. I haven't been able to duplicate it, but if you could, this would be a great addition. http://www.dakotapalmhelmets.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
