I've been working on gathering and organizing the brands of defunct football leagues (mainly WFL and USFL) and I started creating some logo slicks to go along with my archive. So I'll be sharing these sporadically as I get them put together. I have to give shoutouts to @CC97, @TruColor, and the Gridiron Uniform Database for my main resources in getting the info and artwork to base everything on. If you have any further information or some high-res art resources feel more then free to send them my way, I want this collection to be as complete and accurate as possible! Here's a few to get started --

I will at some point soon, I've been busy with work that I get paid for.

Michigan Panthers - When you get a great scan of an official doc containing this over-the-top logo

Birmingham Stallions From what I can tell, the team used 2 different helmet decals, I'm not 100% sure on when each was used.

Most likely was due to the fact that their specified gold is a Pantone Metallic color which doesn't usually translate well to flat fabrics, and I'm strictly using the Pantone specs in making these since otherwise there would be too much guesswork. Anyway, here's Pittsburgh --

Philadelphia/Baltimore Stars

Arizona Wranglers --

Washington Federals & Orlando Renegades Bonus Renegades logos --

New Jersey Generals with bonus large logos --

Pantone Metallic colors tend to appear darker when converted to RGB, in reality, it would appear much lighter with reflections and whatnot.

It's now time for the USFL, starting with the Los Angeles Express.

Varsity Block B from Eriq Jaffe's set, it was the closest match based on the photos I could find. Finishing up the WFL --

Here's a few more, almost done with the WFL.

After I post the rest of the WFL things will slow down for the USFL as I'm still working on putting them all together.

Yeah, your template gave me the idea to use the old NFL style guides as a base, which I modified to simplify it a bit. Here's some more --

I don't do a ton of freelancing since I'm terrible at both self-managing and negotiating, but I do know some things about working for startups. Mainly, startups are a lot of work for little pay, that's just how they tend to roll as the company figures out how to exist. That being said, if (and I mean IF) they are successful it can turn into a really great opportunity. I've been working for Teespring for 5 years now, and when I started it was a company of about 30 people who were all doing the work of 100 people, and now I lead the design team. Granted, that's the exception and not the rule and more startups fail than succeed, so it's always a gamble. Either way, startups tend to inflate titles so even if they fail it'll look good on a resumé!

Jimmy likes this idea, Jimmy may have to check this game out!

In my downtime lately I've been researching and tracing old WFL, USFL, etc. logos and I figured it was about time I did something more useful with them. Major credit goes to the Gridiron Uniform Database, @CC97, and @ColorWerx for all the references! Feel free to follow along as I upload to imgur. Here's some WFL stuff to start --

WFL Ambassadors primary logos --

I have more crossovers for you all to feast your eyes on, this time NBA Hockey. I have all the initial designs done and I'll be mocking them up and posting in no particular order. For the most part I'll only be making fancy mockups for the home and road sets, but if there's enough interest I can do third jerseys where applicable. First up - Atlanta Hawks

Final push, thanks everyone for following this series! Toronto Raptors -- Utah Jazz -- Washington Wizards --

Portland Trail Blazers -- San Antonio Spurs -- Sacramento Kings --

Phoenix Suns --

Philadelphia 76ers --

I thought it was subtle enough to pass, and when I did try to remove it I ended up making the antlers look like garbage haha. Minnesota Timberwolves --
