PerCR Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I'm itching to see the App State concept. We (justifiably) never get any sort of concepts of us thrown out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyopokes2 Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Well guys, I know many of you discounted this as being dead. I promised I would finish and I am doing just that. I'm back in action with my own school first. I have made changes to the template that I will be using for now. For Wyoming I decided to introduce a one time gold helmet that has been rumored for a few years. It should be familiar with Coach Craig Bohl as his former 3x national champs wore gold lids. The drop shadows are inspired by the Patrick Chuckwurah sets. I wanted a clean and modern one off that would reflect the schools awesome and unique colors.Click for large pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clintau24 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 HE'S BACK!!! THANK GOODNESS!!Gotta say, I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the gold.The 3D version isn't as overwhelming as the flat version. Would a brown facemask work better? "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSUcelticsWON95 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Great day! I agree about the brown facemask, but even if that doesn't work, I think you have a great set here. Good to have ya back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about the brown facemask, but even if that doesn't work, I think you have a great set here. Good to have ya back!Great suggestions. I initially had it brown, changed to gold, and now I changed it back to brown where I will settle. This set is nothing too flashy in design terms, but definitely something the fans and players here would like as a one time thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clintau24 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Brown works so much better. It just felt like way too much mustard to begin with. Brown balances it out nicely. "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSUcelticsWON95 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Love the brown. The simplicity is definitely not too bland. Great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Glad to see you back working on this, beautiful update. The brown facemask really helps balance out this set IMHO, so good fix there. I love the new template opposed to the former (both are excellent tho)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'villejags Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'm glad you're back in the saddle, WyoPoke. This is yet another great looking concept. I really admire your work. Your presentation is excellent and your concepts are always tastefully done. The new template looks great as well. Looking forward to the rest of the series! If you ever get time and feel like doing some requests, I'd love to see your take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys. My NFL concept series (in progress) --ATL, CLE, NE, WAS done. AZ updated 04/21/23.

wyopokes2 Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Next up is the UTEP Miners. I played around forever on this one. I initially had planned on using either a grey or copper since iron and copper ores were commonly mined in El Paso. Then with the release of Arizona State awhile back I didn't want to seem like a rip of that. When I created this version it was initially blue. I called it quits on it and when I was going back through my files I decided to change the alt to orange and I enjoyed it much better. The pattern on the sleeves and pants was found on building outside the football stadium. I think it adds a nice Southwest element into the jersey. The bevel on the number is inspired by the teams logo. The white helmet felt like a nice change-up for them, as well as being historical having been worn in 1971 and 1972. The state outline and star on the shoulder were inspired by this guy. Enjoy! PS the pick is on both sides of the helmet in case you were wondering. I'm working on a realistic side view template as we speak that I'll add eventually to the presentationsClick for larger images: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderbread Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 i don't like the number font, it just has too many bad elements (reverse drop shadow, italics, round font) take at least one of those things away and it would look better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSUcelticsWON95 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'm not sure how I feel about the numbers. I'd try wonderbread's suggestion and see how that works. I like the design that you incorporated, and I like what you did with the star and state outline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I love the numbers, and both sets for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Between the star and Texas outline, I'd say attach them together or pick one. It's a good look though. I actually like teh numbers because it looks like something UTEP would use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
