I like the design of the Missouri State uniforms, but I've got a couple of criticisms.

• I love the school's wordmark font that they already use. Why not use it for the uniforms, including the numbers?
• Minor nitpick: the Flag Code states that the US flag should be the highest, so I'd flip the order of the flags on the helmet.

Old:

New:

I like both updates. The one thing that Campbell is missing is a head-only logo.

For Emmett's alternate, I would put the player number on the front instead of the "E". Having the block E and the script wordmark together like that is jarring.

That updated UWRF wordmark is better. The bevels in the old one were quite the eyesore. I do like the new academic logo as well. I wish that they'd work it into the athletic identity, or barring that, the blue trim.

Fantastic job here. Are the numbers on the dark jerseys white or silver? I'd prefer them to be silver so that they tie to the helmet.

Minor presentation nitpick, the TV numbers on the player's left shoulder are off.

I really like that idea! I actually had a modern look for the jerseys so putting a modern-looking helmet fit perfectly, especially because the helmet replicates the face/head and the jerseys replicate the wings

 

 

• In addition to the goggles, I also added eyes and feathers similar to Kent State's bird helmet
• Made the facemask white to match the white beak in the logo

 

Thanks again for the idea!

Absolutely nailed it

For UT Martin, I'd have loved to see you go ultra-modern on it. You could've gone with a helmet similar to the old Iowa Barnstormers, using the skyhawk's goggles as a base.

And another Phoenix Design Works logo is dead. A great day.

On your Philly one, I would've never read that secondary logo as a "P" if you hadn't told me. Not sure how to fix that, 

For Chicago, that secondary logo is so good, I'd promote it to the main.

I don't like that change for Lewis. I think of a "flyer" as someone who flies. This new logo being a plane doesn't fit that for me.

Also, I don't really get "athletic logo" vibe from it. I see more "corporate air freight" logo more than anything.

I'd be curious to know why they retired Bedcheck Charlie.

Revolutionaries is a bit of a mouthful but it’s not bad. It’s too long for uniforms, but Revs is a good shorthand. Generals would have been a layup, though. In fact, before all this came up, I didn’t even know GW was the Colonials. I guess I always assumed they were the Generals.

It's not too long for uniforms if you design the wordmark properly.

Thanks! Here's the complete team brand sheet with the updated primary logo design.

 

 

 

Thanks, good to know there might be interest for more in this series; I'll keep this in mind for something to maybe go back and update once I finish up my 8 teams. I will say my next team- the New York Stars- will actually include a wordmark component in its main logo.

 

I couldn't find much info on wordmarks for most of the WFL teams so it would be less updating them and more creating them like with the secondary logos. I don't mind this of course, but it wasn't my main focus on this project starting out. Something to perhaps look forward to though once the main work is done.

 

Thanks again for everyone who checked this out and contributed feedback!

I love the idea of the claws under the collar. But, if you're going to do that, the best way might be to either take the ones you have now and put them in the logo, or take the ones from the logo and put them under the collar. No sense having two different claws.

For your Idaho cap, I'd put either the state outline OR the I, not both the way you have them. Right now, the cap logo looks like it says "LI".

For a pub trivia team, the original, silly logo is fantastic. I love the question marks in the crown. You did a great job there conveying what this is and what it's for.

As far as the other logos, I do think they're fantastic, but I feel like the one not in the badge could stand to be a little wider.

I remember Phoenix Design Works created some fluffy thing for South Dakota State University that they didn't end up going with, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Not using Hololulu blue?  C'mon man! 

I really like the secondary logo at 0:30 in the reveal video.

I'd make that the primary.

But I hate the bevel in the "C" logo.

Is it me or are the legs ever so slightly skewed inward?

I can't unsee that now.

UCF just needs to go full Citronaut for everything. Own the "Space U" thing. 

Now the new SIUE logo looks a smidge more like the logo that they had previous to the more abstract one:

The fact that the left whiskers on the new cougar get cut off bugs me a little bit.

- I tried and tried to figure out a way for the  home jersey to say "Green Monsters" but just couldn't make it work. 

Why not just "Monsters?"

Random thought for the moose: why not make the caps have antlers only? Kind of like the Philadelphia Eagles do with their helmets.

So many colleges have great team names though and are strongly associated with the school

 

Longhorns

Beavers

Sun Devils

Lobos

Volunteers

Nittany Lions

Wolverines

Badgers

Buckeyes

Tar Heels

Blue Devils

Demon Deacons

Seminoles

Yellow Jackets

Jayhawks

Hoosiers

Hawkeyes

Cornhuskers

Golden Gophers

Terrapins

Scarlet Knights (and kudos to the Big 10 for arguably the most unique set of team names) 

And there are others, extant and no longer in use:

Tufts Jumbos (from the stuffed hide of Jumbo the elephant that P.T. Barnum brought to campus)

Williams Ephs (short for Ephraim Williams, the founder of the college)

Webster (MO) Gorloks (from the school's location on the corner of Gore and Lockwood Avenues)

UCF used to be the Citronauts (referencing space exploration and orange farming)

FIU used to be the Sunblazers (based on its location in sunny Miami)

I'm sure there's more, but those are just off the top of my head.

I'd love to see how the numerals would look in the same font as the wordmark. And this is just a thing with me, but I hate asymmetrical helmets. Other than that, this concept is bangin'.
