soflo_sports Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I apologize in advance for this super long first post here. This is by far the most lengthy and intensive project I've done yet. Anywayyyys... USSL History: The US Super League was founded in 1970 at the peak of American soccer popularity. Many leagues were expanding rapidly, and the US wanted to make a Champions League type competition to compete with the European soccer market. They founded the Super League with six leagues from Texas area, California area, Florida, New York area, New England, and the Midwest. Many teams started to assert dominance in the League, and it almost became too one-sided. In 1976, more leagues started to join to increase competition and eventually by the late 80’s, every league in America was admitted to join the US Super League. In modern day competition, 64 teams face off in a group-based format. The field narrows down to 32 as the remaining teams face another group stage. The knockout stage starts when the field hits 16, and it eventually whittles down to a final 2. Dallas Rangers hold the most victories with 7 followed by Brooklyn Wanderers who have 6 and Atletico Santa Monica who have 5. The 2016-2017 champions was the Californian club Saint Joseph who earned their 3rd title.

PrimalCookie Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 You're back! When you dropped the "US Super League" bomb in the FPL thread I was hoping that you would do that eventually do this, and here you are! Will the Floridian teams change kits or even logos in this, or will you keep them the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardsblues02 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Wow! Outstanding work. If every logo, uniform and team design is this great, we could have a really good series for us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you're looking forward to this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardsblues02 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I have a few questions. Is this going to become a fantasy league? Will you be simulating seasons or just showing off design. How many logos and jerseys will you be posting per day? Great job so far, can't wait for the next one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philsphan Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 The first two concepts look really nice! Should be a fun series. Is there any reason you chose navy and gold for Austin? If possible, a short explanation of the concept and description of the team's identity would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrimalCookie Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Bakersfield looks great! Just wondering, is that Kevin Harvick on the back (he drives #4)? Or is it just a coincidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDTrey4 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 These are incredible and it's gonna blow what I'm working on out of the water. Critiques: Atletico SM: The white on "Atletico" is a little tough to read, probably worse from a difference. You could try a thin black stroke to make it pop more Austin: Great use of the slash from the logo on the jersey Bakersfield: That font is incredible, where does the lion come from too?
