The Nati MacDaddy Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I have decided that if the city Los Angeles is awarded an NFL franchise they should start from scratch and create a new team. There will most definitely be fans from Oakland, St. Louis, and San Diego that will be bitter about losing their team but I feel a new team with a new identity would help Los Angeles draw a new fan base. Click here to read a recent article by Vincent Bonsignore regarding the NFL in L.A. . With that in mind I have spent some time developing a new NFL franchise for the city of Los Angeles called the L.A. TREMORS. I like the name because it relates to the city. Here is the entire concept starting with the helmet. Give me your thoughts. http://boards.sportslogos.net/settings/signature/# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nati MacDaddy Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Next up are the uniforms with 4 different schemes the first two are Home unis and the last two are Road unis.Here is another idea that uses the black jersey and lavender pants instead of all lavender. http://boards.sportslogos.net/settings/signature/# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nati MacDaddy Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 You can't forget the cheerleaders. http://boards.sportslogos.net/settings/signature/# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nati MacDaddy Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 You got to have a stadium. I decided the nickname of the stadium should be the DANGER ZONE. This tune would play during pregame warm-ups. Right before kickoff you will here this. http://boards.sportslogos.net/settings/signature/# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nati MacDaddy Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 I went as far as to come up with an idea for the post game entertainment. http://boards.sportslogos.net/settings/signature/# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nati MacDaddy Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 One last idea is the wordmark. Give me your thoughts. http://boards.sportslogos.net/settings/signature/# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveCRO Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 wow you've really put some effort into this and I respect that! however, I'm not the biggest fan of your color choice and early 90's style uniforms... so in my opinion, you should simplify things (even logos / wordmark). Make everything in a modern style and then there might be something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStig Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 That wordmark is really difficult to read. While well thought out, the whole thing seems a little gimmicky and AFL-y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 That wordmark is really difficult to read. While well thought out, the whole thing seems a little gimmicky and AFL-yIn a nutshell.This would be a fantastic concept for an AFL team, although you'd still need to do something about the unreadable seismogram logo and wordmark. For an NFL team, though, it doesn't fly. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SplashBoogie Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I echo everything from above. It's way too minor league looking to be pro ready. And lavender...not the best color choice.I would take a look at the San Jose Earthquakes for ideas on how to use seismograph/earthquake imagery without it being too obstructive.

Whittier S Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 In a vacuum, this is a really solid package. Well thought out, well tied together. But it doesn't feel like the NFL. A minor league, yes, and that's not to knock minor-league, it's just a different aesthetic. I think in your revision, that Aftershock wordmark would be a great place to start, as it's the most NFL-looking thing here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will need to be more original with the aftershock logo. I like the name for the establishment but I should have credited the source. The Cheerleader concept is a photoshopped version of the Baltimore Raven's squad.I am thinking that naming rights to the stadium should be from an Insurance company, a business that offers No "Fault" insurance. http://boards.sportslogos.net/settings/signature/# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I don't mind the lavender so much, but the font for TREMORS and the numbers on the jerseys is terribly cartoonish and dated. Not everything has to be shaky/crumbling to get the point of the identity across.I'd also move the TV numbers from the sleeves to the shoulders so that they can be bigger and don't have to compete with the seismograph motif.Overall, I think your work shows that you're a good illustrator, but that doesn't necessarily always translate over to sports design or to graphic design in general.

hockey week Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 This is on par with the LA KISSWhich, though we make fun of it, is a real team with a well-put-together image and truly embraces a theme.But it is most definitely not NFL material. Too kitchy, too strict to a theme. This would be a good arena football team, or something from the mid 1990s, but not the stoic No Fun League. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

JosiahWVU Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 It may just be me but it doesn't seem like an NFL team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberwolf Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 It may just be me but it doesn't seem like an NFL team.Oh, it's definitely not just you. This concept has potential, and I'd agree with everything said above. I do like how you included the extra things, like the field and cheerleaders...

Spanna65 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Like the thought put into the package, well done!However, I'd say the logo is a bit iffy, I found it was pretty hard to see. That might just be me, but maybe you should look towards a different path for that.BTW, The Fault Line would be a nice Stadium nickname... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
