Initial Uniform Ideation - I started my sketching by creating a basic, faded template to draw on to allow for quicker translation from idea to paper. I didn't go long before realizing that my graphics would have to compliment a uniform template, and not the other way around
Final Home Kit - This is my final Home/Primary kit, posed on a template I constructed specifically for this project. I like to make a "final" rendering that is aesthetically accurate, but keeps a sort of "sketched" feel to it, not just for ease of modification but also because I like the sneaky simplicity of such a presentation (though each template takes a few hours to properly make and set-up)
Home Kit Flat Design - Here's the straightforward design for the Home kit, shown fully with all the proper graphics. The back hem on the shorts carries the 3x3 checker square I wanted to introduce across RC Lens' aesthetic range as a nod to their fans, and the collar sports an embroidered "1906", the year RC Lens was formed
Final Away Kit - With all the graphics in-place, the Pure White kit isn't so pure, but it makes all the graphical elements pop that much more. I particularly love the socks, and how much the Blood and Gold checker pattern stands out. I should mention the "RCL" on those socks (and all three kit's socks) are formatted just as it is on the crest, but with the rest of the crest pulled away the lettermark creates a nice, simple element all their own
Away Kit Flat Design - Same drill, the flat version of the Away kit. The sublimation used here is subtle, unlike on the Alternate, where it is used to full effect
Final Alternate Kit - My personal favorite, mainly because I love how the corded piping works as a thinned-out version of the checker pattern used in the other kits. It's a nice extension of the brand elements I wanted to push in the uniform lineup
Away Kit Flat Design - The piping pattern is exactly as how it was on Reebok's existing template, so I didn't mess with their template. That said, I feel it works to great effect on this uniform, as the whole look becomes a sort of evil version of the Pure White. The ghosted nameplate and numbers are particularly sinister

Reebok Soccer Project
I spent the summer after graduating from Stout chasing after a job with Reebok in their Global Football (Soccer) division. I went through a few phone interviews and was given the opportunity to fly out and have a full, final interview. For the interview, I had to complete a project to present, and I was given a month to complete the task; this is that project, exactly as it was shown
