generalshepherd141 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I was expecting you to do black and white team colors. Whatever. This uniform looks great, especially the pants stripes, but I don't know how red, black, and white fit into racing together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the pants stripe you had wouldn't be there if you had black and white as team colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkg74 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I would do a checkered stripe on the pants similar to what Temple has, the current pant stripe is kinda boring,imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEANGEL&THEGAMBLER Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Nice and simple with a great logo Red is associated with fast cars so it fits well enough You might consider a checkered design if tastefully done but it could also cheese it up tooAll these teams look really professional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugevolsfan Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 The Kansas City Mustangs!Mustangs started out in Los Angeles as the first west coast team in the MLF in 1944.In 1959 MLF reached a deal with the struggling All-American Football League & 4 of their teams to become a part of their league.The Baltimore Stars, the leagues best team & winner of the AAFL championship 4 out of its 6 seasons, needed a new home as the league already had the Bombers so the Stars were moved to Hollywood.The Mustangs could not compete with the Stars on or off the field and attendance for their games dropped to average of 15,000 per game.In 1961 the league was looking for a new home & owner for the struggling franchise or feared contraction might occur.After looking at both Miami & San Diego markets Kansas City was offered the franchise mainly because of strong ownership proposal led by Jack Hart a former player & coach in the MLF.The new ownership group wanted to keep the name & history of the team as they thought it would create a natural rival with the St. Louis Stallions.The turn around for the franchise started in 1965 when Jack Hart gave up some ownership control & became the head coach.He led them to several playoff appearances in the late 60's & early 70's including two title games but could not win the championship.He is still Kansas Cities all time winning coach.In the last few years head coach Tommy Bratkowski has been trying to get there with some mixed results.In 2008 in his first year at the helm they signed highly sought after QB Dan Hollister & RB Ronnie Miller to huge free agent deals.As a result they were successful the first two years going 10-6 & 11-5. In 2010 they dropped to 9-7 & out of the playoffs.Last year was even a bigger disappointment finishing 6-10 with Miller only playing in 5 games.This is an aging team built on free agency on offense & a stingy defense led by All-Pro LB James Durant but many fans feel this could be the last year this team will be together.Here are the current uniforms plus a throwback they debuted in 2009 which is a tribute to their Los Angeles days.As always C & C welcome!

CSSdesigns Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Colts, Broncos and 49ers made a baby. That's my problem (along with everyone else) with all of them. By not completing the collar it makes it 1 billion times sillier looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Colts, Broncos Stampeders and 49ers made a baby.FYP I would suggest a "KC" wordmark with the horseshoe as the C. I'd also consider a color change since what you have now is pretty close to the Chiefs... perhaps royal blue to tie them into the Royals and Wizards, and because you hardly ever see royal blue and metallic gold used together.

I can look into other colors I guess but I really don't care if it looks like the Chiefs colors since they are not around in this world & neither are the Royals or Wizards..I had a KC wordmark but opted for the horse shoe instead I can look at again thoughAs usual the baby is so much cuter than the parents!

generalshepherd141 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Like everything but the secondary "Colts" logo. I think it is WAY too similar, and you should come up with something new. It doesn't have to be completely new, and I understand this is a world with no NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCCoachArete Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Really like the look. Looks like the birmingham stallions with a touch of calgary stampeders mixed in. Which team is next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cohenj21 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Would like to see a new horseshoe logo or something different there to separate from the Colts, but other than that fantastic set. Love the red and gold, and don't find it too similar to the Chiefs, who use yellow. "Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
