raysox Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I got an email a few months ago about a series idea. They basically asked if I was interested doing Football as Football, but the other way around. So basically, turning EPL teams into what they'd look like as NFL teams. I was like thanks, but I've been busy doing other series so I dunno when I'd get to it. But I finally came up with some ideas and went ahead and did some!Norwich CanariesI do probably way too many soccer crests, so doing something fresh and that would test my designer abilities. So starting from the bottom, here is what the EPL would look like with NFL inspired logos.Norwich is known as the Canaries. They have a unique yellow and green color scheme, so this was going to be fun. I did my best to make a mean looking canary. I took some cues from Brandoise and the Ravens logo and created what you see below. The uniforms will mostly be based on the kits the teams use, so I got a new template and based the uniforms of the ones Norwich wore last year en route to being promoted to the EPL. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSmith48 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 That uniform is awesome! However, I would like to see some more green in the logo. Visit my website at SSmith Designs (google.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_grateful_ted Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I can tell this is gonna be a fun series! Are you going to do standard uniform sets as in color for home and white for away, or more like soccer kits where there's more leeway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 I thought about either doing white(or in some cases colored) of clash jerseys and couldn't decide so I'll just do 1 @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmoe12 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Excited for another Raysox series! With the logo, the thick outline really makes the bird look too round. Thinning the outline, or bringing it to a point at the beak and the back of the neck will really help the mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmiller5 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I think the helmet would be better if the shell were green. Right now the yellow logo blends into the yellow helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyersfan Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 That looks awesome. I suggest that look for a new Oregon jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan24898 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I agree this needs a green helmet shell, that was the first thing that stood out to me when I looked at it. I also think there should be thin black stripes bordering the pants stripe for consistency ' s sake. I agree that the logo is too rounded as well, especially if you wanted it to be "mean looking," the more sharp or angular you can make it the better. I think the eye especially could use a bit of an update. Star championship signature credit to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrcollis714 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 That uniform is awesome! However, I would like to see some more green in the logo.Agreed. More green would make it perfect.

raysox Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Thanks guys. Couple things. I went yellow lid to mimic a canary head, same with the lack of green on the logo. I felt like the green on the jersey would help since traditionally the club is yellow @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.Tom.P Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I think it fits really well with the Norwich identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Internet is down at my apartment, but I want to let you guys know I have about 8 done. Should I go by standing or just whatever I want to post? @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_grateful_ted Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Out of personal preference it would be cool for me to just go by standing, but its your series either way I'm looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 Watford HornetsThe 2nd place team from the Championship is the newest team I've done. The team is nicknamed the Hornets, but have a red deer as their logo. It has 100% to do with the colors of the team. I didn't want to throw away tradition, so I kept the deer idea. In a style like the LAFC bear and the Buffalo Bills logo, I did a stylized deer in one color to make it look strong, modern, and bold. I wanted to show motion with the deer, so I made it rear up on it's back legs, but I threw in a ground to show that it isn't flying or anything. Before I did the logo, I had the idea to do an Eagles' type helmet logo, but with the antler. That's not even the wildest thing about the helmet. Half is yellow, half is black. The current crest is like that, so I split it in homage. I like the uniforms a lot, but a lot of that has to do with the colors. I tried my best to keep black on yellow, but did throw some red in the sleeve in an angled stripe like Nike has used a lot.

suplauren Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I agree with jmoe12, the outline of the canary is too rounded, it makes the logo feel odd.I really want to like the Hornets concept, but I think I'm having too much disconnect with the separate parts of the identity. What if you make the helmet one color, but put horizontal stripes on the torso or legs? Then it'll have more of a hornet feel. laurenlogos.tumblr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaline97 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 So what color is the antler on the yellow half of the helmet? I love this, especially the sleeve stripes. Good work once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_grateful_ted Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 This all feels disconnected. There's a little red on the jersey, but then absolutely no yellow on the pants, there's only the split-color look on the helmet but nowhere else. I think if you make the jersey black and do something with yellow and red on both the pants and jersey, it'll look a little more balanced. Look to the Maryland terps pride jerseys for examples of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 I think I wont go in order, just when I turn it out. Also I updated Watford. Bournemouth CherriesBournemouth is the last team to be promoted into the EPL. Bournemouth has red and black stripes, and is nicknamed the Cherries. Not too much to work with there. I decided to make a logo with a B with stripes coming out. I wanted to show motion in the football, with a throwback to one of the best logo the Cleveland Browns have ever had. I originally had the stripes go around the back like the Seahawks logo, but realized the B would be backwards on the left. I put the B logo on the side, which let me go with a black helmet to match. There's a lot of striping on the uniform, with the helmet, sleeves, and pants. It was the best way I could show the tradition that the team has with their vertical stripes. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
