Looks cool - can you upload a larger image? I can't quite see what's going on with the helmet.

I'd be curious to see what a football uniform would look like with something like this year's MBB side paneling (echoing the Khalid-era uni)... if you have the time for that!
Expand ...

Yeah, I deliberately designed the side panel on the pants as a nod to the classic men's basketball uniforms. Same idea with the hook C on the pants as a nod to the baseball program, but that idea was last second, and a little more expendable. To try and get the side panel on the jerseys, I'd have to draw up a separate side view from scratch, and I don't think I'm totally capable of pulling that off.
 
I really like what you did. Great job. I'll give you a pass on the red unis because the others are so good. Just don't ever let those red ones see the light of day! Like the helmets. And I didn't even notice the baseball C until others pointed it out. I'd go with the block C on the pant instead.
Great job!
 
We picked the wrong time to go bland and sukkazz at same time. Yeah, implement these asap
 
I appreciate the work you put into these, but I think the helmets are actually worse than the ones we have now, and for me, that's saying something. I'm still going to try to sell the heck out of these helmets below, even though I'm not 100% sure who originally made these. If I recall correctly, it was a choice between these helmets and the "Call of the Wild" helmets, and we chose poorly...

I believe that was designed by the same person who did "Call of the Wild." The University & Nike just decided to go with the "Call of the Wild" design instead.

You're missing the B1G conference patch, otherwise nice work. I like the 2-tone helmet design. I'd scrap the baseball C in favor of block C.
 
Some other combos:

Blue helmet/blue jersey/white pants w/ blue and red bands on both sides (no UConn down the side) / swap baseball "C" with Husky head and you have a winner in my book.

These are great. I love the red. Shiny chrome helmets would be nice also...

Let's just wait until we're competitive to roll them out!!!
 
UPDATED 12/21:

  • Added shoulder pattern to resemble a husky coat (inspired by Oregon)
  • Replaced hook C on pants with husky logo
  • Refined the two-tone helmets and number placement on helmets. Added a little more detail to all helmets.
  • Dropped the red/white trim on the player name patches.
  • Created 3 different versions with ACC, American and B1G conference patches. (Didn't bother with BIG XII patches, unless requested).
I just happen to like how the ACC patches look:

GREAT!

I really love the red ones.

We need a uniform that looks less boring and makes a statement.
 
I know it is no longer important to the marketing gurus at Nike, but just for fun let's remember that UConn's colors are national flag blue and white. Not grey. Nor black. And for heavens sake not friggin' red. And lose the dopey call of the wild face on the helmets. I'm begging you.

someone inside the football program (a player or coach) can't say who- told me that the football team will be changing their helmets, I just don't know the time frame, could be for the '15 season.

Sprague, you have made my friggin' day!

Talk about getting what I wanted for Christmas! And I'm not just saying that because we both lived in the greatest dorm at UConn... ;)

yup, right after this person said, I probably shouldn't be telling you this...
 
Those concepts are okay but no need to have the UCONN word mark on 3 parts of the Uni especially the helmet. Also would be cool to add a throwback or retro style uniform as that seems to be the style now.

Where we are, I wouldn't be opposed to mounting a 3-D projector inside the helmet to cast a floating UCONN logo ahead of the player carrying the ball.

But taste wise, I prefer the wordmark on the pants. It's unique.

Goes without saying how bad they need it. Even if they don't change the unis, those helmets are much in need of a redo.

Those may be the UConn colors but we need to start thinking outside the box as far as attracting kids to the program. Oregon did it with catchy uniforms and a large capital infusion by Phil Knight to build some of the best facilities. The first step for us would be the flashy uniforms, heck everyone now a days has them. These uniforms are awesome especially if we mix and match, lets say red tops with grey pants etc. Then we should focus on building bigger and more competitive facilities and we could be back on track nationally and hopefully in a P5.
 
Guess I'm in the minority but I like the 2-tone helmet for the White unis. Also like the greys. Some nice touces on the striping as well. Would save the large UCONN logo for the grey pants only. Like the grey alts.
