Nike Uniform Concepts

Simplistic in design and dark in use of color- really push the garnet and black as the dominant colors on our uniforms. Take the helmets to a matte/eggshell sheen and go garnet. Single stripe as a nod to our past uniforms but minimal striping otherwise.

Went with "Gamecocks" for our home tops (garnet/black) and "Carolina" to represent on the road. Another nod to our previous uniforms of the 80's and early 90's.

Included home, away, fireant, stormtrooper, and a black alternate top.

Anyhow, nothing drastic but something to look at during the impending offseason. Think I'm going to play around some more with a totally crazy direction next post.

I love the helmets. Also, we should definitely like to see alternate uniforms and helmets next year....the kids love it i think.

Cola, I always like your stuff. I am on the Sports Logos website, as well.

I think I may be over the striping as well. I don't, however, like the black collar on garnet jerseys. I think it looks strange on the helmet too. I always think white complements it better.

What is wrong with the old garnet helmets, with the white circle? I think it is a bit tough to see the Block C. I think white could help that out too.

I love the idea of having "Gamecocks" on the homes.

I like the basic look of these, CC. I started a thread asking some folks to come up with some concept helmets using the claw/spur logo that might look like SC, but it was a bad idea. After messing around with some images (I am not a graphic artist at all, so I use MS Paint) I found that the all garnet claw and spur that is already an official logo that isn't used looks pretty good with a white helmet as long as the logo is pretty large, almost oversized.

Do you think you could work with that logo in different colors to see how it would look on helmets of various colors (probably would need to lose the stripes) and then work it in with some of these uniform combos?

Crushed garnet velvet for the win

I do think they're more traditional than what Nike would actually design for us.

Thanks man, and yes they are admittedly on the traditional side but I think that look is best and stands the test of time. I'm going to sit down later and get a little crazy with a new design in a different direction.

I still like the garnet helmet and think if the logo was increased with a slightly larger white outline (as shown), it would really pop and look great.

I always thought the white circle was quite odd and seemed a bit pointless. I think the logo could be distinguished by enlargement and a thicker white outline.

Somebody on here posted a picture of the block C with the university of south carolina, gamecocks in small letters in the back ground....in garnet I think...but very very sharp!

[Gamecock23]

This is still my favorite!

[Gamecock23]

Then this one!

This not the one I am talking about BUT, that is very very sharp as well.

Actually, I don't think the Block C that I am referring is on a helmet. But I just thought the concept would look great on a helmet

After reading how the UA deal is really only beneficial for Spurrier, is less lucrative for the University than the old Russel contract was, and actually negatively impacts basketball recruiting, I'm for ditching them and starting a Nike partnership.

Cola's designs are always top notch.

I wish I could find that Block C with the university of south carolina and gamecocks in very small letters shadowing the BlocK C and let this guy set it up
on a helmet.

great work colacock, i love that design and the ditching of the white circle in favor of a white outline.

[FanofCarolina1]

I'd like for us to ditch UA for the simple fact that they are paying Spurrier A SHIPLOAD OF MONEY and he's no longer our coach. The University is getting scraps in comparison. I can't believe the University actually approved that deal.

This is much better than the alternate one they wore a couple weeks ago.

I cant believe they broke out those cartoonish looking helmets a couple of weeks back....with all the designs out there we seem to have old/new...we break out in Chicken feathers on our helmets? WTH? I think everybody got a little excited to see something new but regressed when our emotions settled in and realized what
it was.

Awesome designs. I need that garnet helmet/black jersey/garnet pants combo in my life.

Only this is that Nike has terrible fan gear. UA has much nicer stuff for us fans to wear
