heavybass Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 With the firm belief that one day the NCAA will have a scandal that will force itself to disband... the NFL would have a crisis on it's hands as they would be forced to create a developmental league for not only their freshmen but also no way for dropped players to play vital games whilst recovering/sidelined. So the NFL in this universe of mine came up with a D league that consists of roughly 128 teams allowing each of the 64 members to choose from 1 in the US and 1 from the Europa/Carisol block... yes I'll explain, the NFL sees upcomers from Europe, Central America, Caribbean and South America as viable options to relieve a much cash strapped league without having to spend much. The following is paramount to said developmental league: 20k - 30k stadium max No sponsorships from Nike, Adidas etc, only NFL backing TV coverage by ESPN So the leagues are the following: National Developmental Division ((teams belonging to the NFC)) American Developmental Division ((teams belonging to the AFC)) Europa Developmental Division ((teams that are from Europe)) Carisol Developmental Division ((teams that are from the Caribbean, Central and South America... Venezuela is excluded)) No teams in Africa and Asia though ((Japan has enough baseball to last a lifetime.)) and neither in the Oceania block so no Australia. That being said... I shall offer the first team that will play in the fictional NDL... and it's a team that belongs to the Dallas Cowboys after buying the naming rights from the Brooklyn Beats.LIST OF TEAMS NDD Forth Worth Bulls (Dallas Cowboys) Richmond Rebels (Washington Redskins) San Jose SaberCats (San Francisco 49ers) Anaheim Dire Wolves (Los Angeles Rams) ADD Rochester Roosters (Buffalo Bills) Fort Lauderdale Hammers (Miami Dolphins) Wheeling Ironmen (Pittsburgh Steelers) Fort Wayne Fusion (Indianapolis Colts) EDD CDDFORTH WORTH BULLS (NDD)Original club: Dallas CowboysLocation: Forth Worth, TexasHOME ROAD ALTERNATIVENFL NIGHTTeam Motto: Take the Game by the Horns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edjb93 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I think you should pick only one shade of gold for your regular home and road uniforms, and make the other shade as a trim color. I suggest that the darker gold is the primary gold, while the yellow (ehem, athletic gold) is the trim color. The stripes are missing on the front and the back view of the jerseys, you can add 'em on your next teams, as this is for consistency. You know, there are some members of this forum that are so concerned about consistency, and I'm probably one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just make the adjustments easily... so ditch the yellow and keep the darker gold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavybass Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Reposted the Bulls with fixed striping to fix consistency and to keep the dark gold over the "athletic gold" ... that should be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavybass Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 So the next team is completed and we're going to go to the ADD for this one... for I don't want this to be just teams that clubs can buy names from one another... sometimes it's about the history and the local presence of team spirit and hometown heroes and this next team is the resurrection of an old team that played in the 60's but of course they have found new life as the affliate team for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Luckily this was a quick job as the Steelers ever used three colours in their history so what I did was add in the Steel Grey to give the Ironmen a distinction which is common because their rivals are also resurrected old teams from the past but they will be revealed in due time. Time to reveal team 2, the first of the ADD and that team is the...WHEELING IRONMEN (ADD)Original club: Pittsburgh SteelersLocation: Wheeling, West Virginia HOME ROAD ALTERNATE NFL NIGHT TEAM MOTTO: WE CAN WIN IN 60 MINUTES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edjb93 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 You really should pick only one color on the numbers on the white uniforms, for consistency's sake, unless you want to enforce either the "Ole Miss rule" or the "Georgia Tech rule", if you know what I mean... It's much better if you recolor the NFL night helmet logos according to their respective parent teams. I'd probably agree with @stratonascar when it comes to Fort Wayne's name, unless the Detroit Pistons' management would give the team permission to use the "Pistons" moniker. Remember the Vegas Golden Knights' name fiasco. Design-wise, do the jerseys evoke a piston? What's the font that you used on the Rebels' jersey numbers? I've been wanting to use that for my design "projects", not just only on my concepts I post on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavybass Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 ...... Ok I can see the point... Pistons have been canned, it's either go with Riders or something else that doesn't seem blatantly connected to the Colts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
