Coop paints the CFL

[Raptorman415]

Welcome and Enjoy!

 

I'm a huge CFL fan. With the Grey Cup this weekend, and the unveiling of the newly named Atlantic Schooners, I thought it would be a good time to unveil what I've been working on for quite some time now. Using this site,Trucolor.net, and fan opinions, I tried to put together how I believe the CFL would look if I were in charge...and could only use paint.  I start alphabetically, with the Atlantic Schooners.

 

Atlantic Schooners

 

Thanks to @BenjiJ for cleaning up this logo.

The Schooners have just been announced as the team name for the new team set to play in 2021. Flashback to a couple of months ago while I was on and off while working on this project, I took the color codes from Trucolor and logo of the original team and put my spin on how the failed attempt at bringing football to the Atlantic Coast of Canada would look today if they had played.

I hope you all enjoy the beginning to this thread.

I would brighten the navy, maybe prioritize it, think seahawks, or darker the green a bit and brighten the navy still, and priotize it. A blue and green team would be really nice for the cfl and for halifax

  So I took the Seahawks color scheme and added it to the current set and I gotta say, this is the way to go.

Try a navy helmet, grey seems out of place and random

I'm not as on board with the team being blue or navy blue primarily because the Argos, Blue Bombers, and Alouettes (in 2019) will be be blue dominant. And then you have the Riders and Eskimos as green dominant. Is there any reason why you chose green? I like grey because no one uses it right now, but as BellaSpurs mentioned, it feels out of place and should be incorporated with the rest of the uniform.

[vtgco]

I like the latest version, on the right, where the navy/black color is dominant and with the almost seafoam green.

 

I think you could make the pants silver, as the silver currently feels out of place (as others say).

 

An interesting take on the Schooners!

I'd go a different direction: make the green Kelly or similar, have it be primary, then use grey and navy blue as accent colors. Like, the latest concept there, make the pants grey along with the helmet, and then have blue and green trade places. Dark blue is already way too common in pretty much every sport and league in existence.

  I took the primary colors from Trucolor and worked them around in the uniform. Maritime Blue was the primary according to the site, Nautical Brass was secondary, and Silver was tertiary. I used Silver as a helmet color because no team uses it so I thought it would be something new.

   I've taken all of your suggestions into consideration. Which do we all think is best? 1, 2, or 3 

I hope everyone enjoys the Grey Cup tonight. I know I will.

1 or 3

I still think 2 is best, but 3 is a cool idea as well!

  Hope everyone had a good weekend. I've taken some time to listen to you guys/gals's advice and changed the green to the original shade. Here's what I'm considering the final version/update to everyone's favorite CFL that doesn't exist.

(All Parts of uniform are interchangeable with one another)

 

  Anyway's, next up are those Big Cats from British Columbia.

[Raptorman415]

  Howdy everyone, I'm with the the BC Lions

  I took a little liberty's with the Lions. I started with the 1964 look and put somewhat of a modern twist on it. I believe that the full lion on the helmet was a cool concept, just poorly executed for the Lions. So here is BC.

  All pants and jersey's are interchangeable.

C&C as always

[Section30]

BC looks good, I do have a few suggestions however.

 

First of all the helmet; I think that having the stripe down the middle and the full lion would be too busy, if you really do want to keep it I would suggest making it one solid color like the ones used by the team currently.

 

Along those same lines I would suggest simplifying the stripes, the rest of the uniform is cohesive and block colored, so having the stripes be orange and white just look off, I think just removing the white leaving just orange would make it all more cohesive.

 

And finally the helmet logo, I like that you kept the big cat, but removing the lines makes it look very... boring, don't get me wrong, the stripes on the current one don't look great, but having  a detailed head with just a flat orange body looks very off to me, maybe adding some detail or going back to the stripes in the body would help with that.

  I was just thinking about this thread and decided I would finish it. Starting with the long overdue, redo version of the BC Lions.

 

I changed the helmet logo to the paw print and that's pretty much it.

Next,the Calgary Stampeders.

Went with the grey because it looks better. The shoulder stripes are somewhat of a throwback to the 1949 Stamps.

Next, The Edmonton Eskimos

Thought my team would look better with more stripes like how it used to be before the adidas rebrand.

Next, Hamilton Tiger-Cats:

 

A Labour Day Special jersey

Personally I think it would be fun the Ti-Cats had two helmets.

That's half. I'll post the rest when I have time so stay tuned.

[Raptorman415]

After a long break, I'm back to finish this.

 

Montreal Alouettes

A little Thanksgiving game set, like the Lions

Ottawa Redblacks

Saskatchewan Roughriders

Labour Day special

Toronto Argonauts-I made them bring back the full body argo logo just recoloured.

Labour Day Special

 

Winnipeg Blue Bombers

That's all I got for my redesign of the CFL. Hope you all enjoy.

Argonauts are by far my favorite out of them all, I really like the RedBlacks and Stallions as well. Good job all around!
