skurtn wrote: 3 things I hope individuals who like to design uniforms should use as a "done criteria" are:
The mascot for our uniforms is the Mustang, pointed left. It's red, always red. Our shade of red and blue are precise colors; Harvard Red and Yale Blue, no changing them. We're the SMU Mustangs, not "Mustangs". The school logo should be priority #1, when practical. The rest is creative freedom.
Technically, our colors are now SMU red and SMU blue.

In design, it's the little things that matter. Font, kerning, color palette, placement, size of striping, and with most established brands, the history. Bold, new, and modern only go so far. A truly good design should capture the true essence of what you want your brand to reflect. It is not just a uniform, but an icon for an institution. These are things one should think about before clicking on a graphics editing program. It is not just about the "wow" factor...

Would love to see more of the diamond 'M' used in all our logos. Tradition-wise, that's one of the oldest & most recognizable for SMU.

The uniforms we had during June's first year were perfect. We should go back to those

I like the Texas logo. We should play off the texas theme more and put it on our uniform in some capacity (like a state emblem on the hip).

This ^.
Damn, it's not that complicated (frustration at the athletic dept not ponyfans). The last 2 concepts are the right ones. It's very simple. You got it right with the new Moody floor. Now, just take it to our uniforms. It's not rocket science. Damn!

Make the stripes on the helmets and pants like this again, but lose the stripes
on the jerseys.
