    Philadelphia Eagles (28 of 32)

    Next up, we have my Philadelphia Eagles. I'm sure most of you have probably seen the horrendous wordmark they just released. My initial reaction was that I don't think it works well with the midnight green and it lacks character. But it does have a retro-modern vibe. Seems to be the way a lot of teams have been going lately. That said, I created a set around this wordmark with that modern-retro style. Now I will say - I truly love the midnight green color scheme, but wouldn't be upset if they changed course. First big change was the color scheme. I took the 90s Kelly Green and have lightened it a bit. Going with the retro vibe, I'm also bringing back the silver / gray into the fold. Next change was the wing on the helmet. The Eagles have one of the best helmets in the game hands down. That doesn't change, however, the detail on the wing has been simplified. Also new is the number font. Again - trying to keep that modern-retro feel, I took elements from the wordmark to create the number font. While the wordmark is italicized, I did not choose to go that route with the numbers. Just not a fan of italicized numbers on unis. Green home, white away and gray alt. All with gray pants, bringing that style back from the 80s and 90s. I am currently working on a city edition here, but running into some designers block. I just can't conjure anything that I'm truly happy with here. Maybe it's because it's my city / team, who knows. So suggestions are appreciated. Also went a little helmet happy, but I was having fun there. Anyway - hope you enjoy what I did with the birds!

    Yeah, I'm not too crazy about the new wordmark. That being said, love your concepts. My only gripe is that not too much of a fan of the black helmet.

    Since neither the Flyers' nor Sixers' colors would really work for the Phillies (the Sixers being because they're nearly the same as the Phillies' actual colors anyway) I decided to put them in the Eagles' classic Randall Cunningham-era colors of Kelly green, black and silver. The Phillies actually wore green briefly for the 1910 season, so it's not that huge of a stretch. Big thanks to @Carolingian Steamroller for the idea and for helping with this set. 

     

    C&C appreciated as always! The Rays are on deck. 

    The Phillies also wore a green uniform for St Patrick's Day in the late 70s

    Two teams in LA and one in San Diego -- no matter how supposedly separate the markets are -- seems unsustainable to me.

     

    I bet the NFL chooses new markets rather than old ones. And maybe it's my own provincialism, but I think a team would make more sense in Portland than adding another in Southern California.

    From '82-'95 The Rams and Raiders were in LA and the Chargers were in San Diego and was pretty sustainable. Portland to me would be another Jacksonville. Yeah there would be interest the first few years but Portland is more of a college football town, much like Jacksonville, with both Oregon and Oregon St.

  4. I've personally have always liked the look of Estonia's flag. Simple design with great color combination. I also like the flag from the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania since that is the place I was born. Estonia Flag.jpgFlag_of_Pennsylvania.png
