  1. Yeah that is understandable, with only one team getting a gold helmet I had to make some changes (unless we want to say champagne is distinct enough from gold). Let's see if I made the right choice with: Birmingham Stallions Birmingham gets the gold helmet, but switches to indigo as their primary color; coming from a league full of red teams something had to change. The design is pretty close to their '22 look, and the pant stripe tapers to match the helmet stripe. I guess I need to change this to a UFL Redesign
  2. Yeah I'm leaning towards the Roughnecks/Gamblers mashup, although the color scheme is pretty close to the Guardians. But if I change the Roughnecks, the Vipers will need to change as well. Of all the available colors remaining I decided to go with navy blue, as I think their logo looks best on a dark background. I darkened the navy and after playing around with a couple of secondary colors I went with a fluorescent red-orange. I tried a thick navy stripe behind the pant stripes on the away but wasn't crazy about it, so I removed the shoulder yoke.
  3. Oh yeah the Bulls had a great look and color scheme, but maroon is going to a different USFL team: Michigan Panthers With announcements of a merged XFL and USFL coming any day now I figured I'd include some of the teams that made the cut and incorporate them into this expansion. I kept the look pretty classic, kind of a combo of their 80's and current look with a blue facemask, but replaced the champagne/gold color with copper. Also, I know I said no existing teams will change but I'm very indecisive and got an idea while working on this one, so I'll need some feedback on this. If the rumors of the merger are true, then the Houston Gamblers would make it in over the Roughnecks. From what I understand the Roughnecks were much more popular in Houston, so how about a compromise? Keep the Roughnecks name, but the Gamblers' color palette: This is also sort of a modernization of the old and new Gamblers uniforms, keeping the dark charcoal gray and 'notched' pant stripe. I think there are pros and cons to making this switch: my current Roughnecks look is probably my least favorite of this redesign, and changing their color palette would make them less Texans Jr. But, I also really like my black and neon green Vipers, and then I'd have to go back to the drawing board with them (they wouldn't necessarily be navy blue). Let me know what you think!
  4. Oh yeah there will be new alignment (four divisions, two conferences) once all the teams are revealed. But for now, here is San Antonio's updated look. Changed their color scheme to brown and off-white/cream, and changed the striping to something a little more traditional with a spurred spike to match the number font: The new maroon team is next.
  5. Both great suggestions! Here's the new color breakdown with the expansion teams added: The new colors are pink, (more or less kelly) green, indigo, and brown. The Brahmas are switching to one of the new colors so a different team will use maroon, I'll post the updated look here soon.
  6. Thank you, these are solid suggestions! The league could use some central/midwestern teams, an with the coming merger I think I have some ideas. Thanks! Yeah there is a lack of green on the away, I had a few versions with a pant stripe similar to what you described. I'll probably make some tweaks to the original twelve, but until then... Here's where I'm at with expanding this concept to 16 teams. I have some ideas but haven't settled on everything just yet, so I could use some help: Relocations: The Renegades move back to Arlington; doesn't make sense to move the champs away, plus the league is run out of Arlington anyways. The only other team I could see move are the Vipers. Recolors: Pretty satisfied with the 12, but I'm thinking of changing San Antonio's color scheme to something else and giving an expansion team maroon as their primary. I'll probably go back to a gold helmet for Houston as well. Expansion Cities: Currently, I'm thinking Birmingham, Detroit, Memphis, and Oklahoma City. I like the idea of primarily using non-NFL cities, and if these end up being the final four it would give this league a 50/50 split. But, I am open to suggestions here. Expansion Colors: If you're just finding this thread the rules I'm trying to adhere to are that no two teams can share the same primary color, and no two teams can share the same helmet color. Adding four teams certainly makes this challenging! Currently, I'm thinking of a crimson red; something darker than DC's red, but lighter than maroon. And also a third shade of green; brighter than Seattle but darker than Arizona. For the other two I'm a bit stumped; my first thoughts were a brassy gold color (think Saints throwback gold) and brown so throw your ideas out there. For team identities, I'm going to stick with existing logos as logo creation is not my strong suit. So the remaining AAF and USFL (and possibly XFL 2001) logos are up for use.
  7. I liked the gold helmet too, I decided to change it to navy because I'm leaning towards an expansion and I figured having gold as a helmet color available it'll give me some more options. Houston might end up with a gold helmet again That's a good idea, I might tweak it so all the X logos are red for a little pop of color. But for now, the final team is here: Tampa Bay Vipers XFL South The Guardians return to New York and the Vipers return to Tampa Bay, keeping the black as their primary color from Vegas but also retaining the neon green the Orlando Guardians used. A bright silver/chrome is used as a third color, and the design is kept pretty color to their Vegas look. I went back and forth on a neon green helmet and/or pants but felt they might be too garish, and ended up going with silver pants for the away. That's the last team I had originally planned on doing, thanks for checking these out and for all the feedback! Here's a few final graphics: Color breakdown (with updated shades): Division breakdown: Full helmet graphic: Well, that's all. Or is it? I think taking a break for a bit helped save me from burnout, because now I think I would like to expand this to 16 teams. So, I'm open to color palette/team suggestions. Who would you like to see added?
  8. Alright, here's dark grey: New York Guardians XFL East Not a fan of the Orlando Guardians logos/colors, the identity just works better for New York. I dropped black for a dark grey/anthracite and made the team primarily double grey, with red only in the logo and outlining the numbers. I used the 2020 look as the base, but swapped the UCLA stripes out for an over the shoulder stripe that mimics the helmet logo. The number font also mimics the wordmark: We're down to the final team!
  9. Hey y'all, long time no see. Kinda forgot about this, not sure why I didn't post the last three teams considering I've them done for a while. Anyways, might as well finish before the XFL (possibly) turns into the UFL... Decided to overhaul Houston, I dropped gold and brought back the gradients: Next up, the purple team: Orlando Apollos XFL East Another AAF team gets revived. It's been a minute since I made these but I replaced navy blue with purple (since they looked purple in a lot of promo pics to me) and added the lighter orange from the logo into the uniforms as an accent. With a spacey number font and kept the uniform pretty close to the original, except with a home jersey that actually matches the other one this time: Thanks for checking these out; the last two are done, I'll probably post charcoal/dark grey in a day or two.
  10. Yeah, there's something off about STL's palette. The more I look at it the less I like it. I wanted to keep Houston somewhat traditional, but I may change my mind. Still might add four more teams! That's a good idea, I had it on the collar but it'd look better on the sleeves. Got a few updates: Updated STL's colors. Tweaked both the royal blue and silver, and swapped out the navy blue for black for better contrast: And here are a few ideas for Houston, I tweaked the shade of navy blue on all of these. Option 1: Basically the same, but with the secondary logo on the sleeves Option 2: Swapped the gold helmet for navy, this would give a potential expansion team the option to have a gold helmet (not sure if I like this one much though) Option 3: Dropped red and gold for a lighter shade of blue some other team in Houston might've worn once. I think I accidentally made the Argonauts. Let me know what you think!
  11. Yeah I see what you mean, I wonder if the shade of royal blue I used is too bright. I think I prefer the first version with the white home numbers and white road jersey a bit more. I might revisit St. Louis, but for now, here's navy blue: Houston Roughnecks XFL South They got it absolutely right, no changes needed! Thanks for stopping by, check back later for purple! Ok, just kidding. Houston might have my least favorite XFL '23 uniforms. I don't even hate 'modern' elements the way most of this board does, but their uniforms are just dumb, imo. The Texas helmet might be fun for a once-a-season alt, but not full time. Anyways, here's my take on them. It's kind of a streamlined version of the 2020 look without the side panels, and the stripes on the pants and helmet match now. Since a silver helmet is off the table, I went with gold instead. Ok, the entire West division has been revealed, here's the division breakdown now: And the updated helmet graphic: We're nearing the end (before a possible expansion), thanks for checking these out. Purple is next, and here are a couple hints: It's an AAF team It's not the Atlanta Legends I think I might've given it away, but we'll see!
  12. Something like this? Not sure if there's enough contrast, or maybe the silver is too dark, but I'll leave it up to you all.
  13. Agreed - hell, even if they both went monochrome I wouldn't hate it. Plus I think Arlington's mono blue looks a lot better than their mono white. Alright, here's royal blue, and to the surprise of no one it's... St. Louis Battlehawks XFL East I think once all the teams are revealed it would make more sense for them to be in the South division, but I wanted them in the East to keep the rivalry with DC. Like my DC concept, nothing too crazy here. Navy blue is back as an accent color, and this is basically their 2020 look with the 2023 logos and a stenciled block font: 2/3 of the way there, navy blue is up next.
  14. These are good points, my main reason for not using the deer skull logo was I thought maybe it was too similar an identity to the Brahmas, but yeah it's too good not to use. I guess I'm gonna have to expand to 16 teams, ha. So, I'm changing light blue back to the Renegades, but keeping them in Vegas - I made a small tweak and added a wordmark to the jerseys. And here are some possible uniform matchups for the XFL championship. I'm assuming DC will be the home team: But in case they aren't: And here's a color on color, because why not? I think it'd work well with these two teams: I'm going to go through my original 12 teams, and then I'll look at possibly adding four more. I'll post the royal blue team later today/tomorrow.
  15. Thanks! Once I started I thought about expanding to 16 teams, but then I was having trouble coming up with four more unique helmet/jersey combos, I'd pretty much have to start over, haha. The Commanders were my AAF team as well, the main reasons I didn't include them were because of the Brahmas, and that Washington NFL team decided to take the name for some reason. You've been pretty close on almost all of them! Light blue is (sort of) the Renegades: Las Vegas Outlaws XFL West Maybe I'll have to change the name back to the Renegades if they somehow win the championship, but either way Texas doesn't need three teams so they're moving to Vegas. I kept the colors and logos of the Renegades but used the bright red the Vipers currently use (where will they go?), and decided to rename them as sort of an homage to the original XFL. The 2020 logo is back on the helmet with the 2001 wordmark on the collar. This takes elements of both Renegades looks and combines them. I kinda like the '23 pant stripe so I kept it, also made the striping black across everything. I'm not a fan of their current road look, the light blue and red look really muddy to me. Royal blue is next!
