New batch from the factory...leading off, East Carolina
I figure they thought "East North Carolina" would be too much of a mouthful. In any case, hoops just make me think of pirates.
Seton Hall
Best known for basketball, and making people wonder what a Seton is...in any case, I was looking around Historical Futbol Kits a few days back, and noticed a certain Nike shirt many English clubs have adopted recently. The home and clash are based off of that. Vintage parrots pre-VFL North. And the lettering on the fronts is meant to be kinda like those older logos on the sash of Essendon's 140th anniversary one-off, you'd see it close up but it'd be out of the way from most distances.
Three for free, Lehigh
I figured one thing...for some reason, a lot of folks like FC St. Pauli. Those guys made two-tone brown work, I figured I'd go that route here, and for the hell of it make an all gold version as a one-off.
Cleanup hitting, Fresno State
Fresno State's colors are red and blue. So why the green V? To represent their home area, the San Fernando Valley. The green jumper, the blue portion was loosely based on a concept I remember from over a decade ago when I frequented a few NHL series mod boards.
Louisville...going Lastdiculous
Home is your semi-standard WCE knockoff, and with the substitution of black for navy and the semi-BS inspiration of a cardinal's face, the clash is an inverse Dees. The third is loosely inspired by U of L's old mascot logo, a mad cardinal whose white sweater bore a huge red L and two stripes on the right sleeve. Since I've never bothered with a long sleeve template, I place the stripes on the right side of the collar.
