Letter Fronted Football Uniforms - My take!

With the Wisconsin and Nebraska unis that were worn on the field this past year, and throw in Louisiana-Lafayette's Fleur-Di-Lis fronted uniforms, I decided to do my own mock-ups for rivalries around the nation. I used historical photos and some personal pizzazz to create theses prototypes.
