Concepts from Tobacco Road

Meh, posting these now instead of waiting for my laptop. Here's the sequel to my UF, FSU, and The U concept post.

24/120 NC State
So easy upgrade here, their current is just a simple, no design jersey. I went with some shoulder stripes, which sort of tied into the wolf motif. The walking wolf logo on the sleeves. I made a custom State scrip for the chest, and if you look closely, the S is the primary logo. The pants just tie into the shoulder stripes.


25/120 UNC
So if you know anything about the TarHeels, you know argyle is a big design. So obviously, I took the idea and ran with it. The back is all argyle in a sublimated pattern. Very Nike of me. I put the ram logo on top of that, then a UNC, with the heel over the numbers.


26/120 Wake Forest
Another team that fell to the Mizzu template, I had to make a new style. I've seen someone do something like this, and thought it looked great. The stripe goes from over the shoulder, around, and down the back. The collar ends where the seam is. The numbers are Times New Roman, to match the WF logo on the helmet. I made a script with the same font for over the numbers. Lastly, I made a white helmet, just to see how I liked it, and I did.


27/120 Duke
My first attempt was boo'd by most everyone. I tried a horn design for attempt #2. Used a primary white jersey, and an alt black. FYI, the currents look like the Colts' jerseys.


SO c&c, I'm sketching up some new jerseys for the next set! Comment please.

Going old school

Well guys, to explain myself, my laptop has been busted for about 2 weeks now, and it's still being fixed. I was gonna wait ill I got it back before I posted, but it's been gone longer than I expected. So I'm on the ol' family computer for the time being.

But I couldn't stay away from concepts! I wanted to see if I had my paint skills. This is the first in 3 olympic related concepts for you all.

I whipped up a Sweden hockey concept. Nothing ground breaking. I designed new stripes, and a shoulder yoke.

Hows that?

I have some football concepts I'm about to post, then 2! logos for the upcoming London, and Rio Olympics. I need to slightly modify Rio, and transfer my London logo to inkscape. Stay tuned.

Lapwings concept

Well this has been awhile since i've sat down, and done this project. But remember this? I decided to work on it, because it was bugging me about not finishing.

I never could get the body just right, but finally I got it down. The request was a bird skating, seen below. I decided to just throw some other things in there like a circle crest, alt logo, and script.

I'm gonna email the team, and see what's up, and if they want to change some things. But there it is!


Also, maybe big news coming to this blog? Stay tuned.

Slapshot concepts

Here's the lo down. I watched slapshot, and was amazed by the jerseys, and decided to make a league out of the teams. I would put each team on an rbk edge template. I did 2, and never went back. Here's the Chiefs, and Bulldogs. Enjoy!

It's a great movie if you've never seen it. I might look up some other stuff I never posted. C&C

Longo face logo


Sorry guys, school baseball and my girlfriend. 3 reasons I haven't done much postable* concepts.

On the boards, one of the best designers is offering free design help. Tutorial 1 is making people like logos. So if you wanted to do a head of a gladiator, this is how you would do it. He told people to take a random celebrity, follow his steps, and post the results. Here's my shot. Obviously, it's Evan Longoria.
I'll post these for a while. I don't really have much, but I might post a random crap post. Stay tuned

*Postable as in, I'm 20 into a 32 part concept series. I'll be done shortly. Prepare yourself.
