It's always a treat to see your work out in the wild!

Perhaps you've seen the new FishEye Kombucha cans popping up around town. The new label design highlights the core flavor offerings of this legendary brand while inviting you to explore the mysticism of this ancient beverage. ✨

BONUS: I've always adored the vintage Clarendon numeral font UCLA has used in the past. This concept brings that back and attempts to standardize the various shades of yellow and gold the Bruins use.

7: Scarlet & Cream

This concept evokes the aesthetic of vintage football while utilizing the classic scarlet and cream color scheme and the throwback numerals that pay homage to the typography found around Memorial Stadium.

BONUS: I'm including a design for the opponent in this year's series as well! A retro style Northwestern concept features the old wildcat logo and custom wide block numerals accompanying the traditional "Northwestern style" sleeve stripes.

The jersey utilizes a modern number font in black trimmed in metallic silver. Herbie Husker adorns the sleeves, which feature a sublimated corn pattern, a la the Oregon Ducks wings. The helmet features a red stripe containing the corn pattern as well as a subtle red flake texture.

6: Corn Born

I've often wondered what the Huskers might look like if given the "Oregon treatment." Unlike the Nike-clad Ducks, innovation and flashiness has never been the focus of Nebraska's uniforms. This concept explores that.

BONUS: I'm including a design for the opponent in this year's series as well! In recent years Maryland has really played up the state flag design across their uniforms. This concept offers a more subtle approach with the sleeve piping while leaning into the retro M + terrapin logo.

5: Cornhuskers

The full Cornhuskers nickname is often forgotten. This retro-inspired concept makes use of the name across the chest while the vintage corn logo adorns the sleeves. The gorgeous Nebraska script rounds out the design on the helmet.
October 15, 2025 at 7:11 PM
BONUS: I'm including a design for the opponent in this year's series as well! This Michigan State concept adds some subtle texture and shoulder loop striping meant to mimic the plume of the Spartan helmet in the logo.

4: 90's Dreaming

This concept imagines the Huskers introducing a new look during the 1990's. The goal was to create something that utilizes 90's design elements while still maintaining the overall look of Nebraska football.

BONUS: I'm including a design for the opponent in this year's series as well! This HCU concept incorporates vertical "candy stripes" inspired by the school's throwback basketball uniforms. The unique striping design was actually featured on the basketball shorts in the 1970's!

3: Back in Black

The secret to a good black uniform for the Huskers is color balance. While this season's real uniforms feature no red at all, this concept leans on red to do the heavy lifting, with white taking a backseat as an accent color.
