MLB X NFL Crossover Series 30/30 (Nationals Added) COMPLETE
Darth Brooks replied to johne9109's topic in Concepts
Here you can watch them play against the Cleveland Browns! -
I had decided not to do the teams that had current NFL names & logos. The Browns and 49ers survived to modern day more or less and the AAFC version of the Baltimore Colts would look the same as the NFL's, just in green. The Buffalo Bills lent their name to the AFL team. Then I had an idea. This is an image from a program used for a game in New York. The Bills used this wild eyed fellow for their programs That led to an idea for a logo with William "Buffalo Bill" Cody, riding a Bison. This the jersey. The team colors were silver and blue so I tried to stay away from the Lions and Cowboys in the design. I also made an adjustment to the Chicago Rockets.
-
I told myself I was going to stop playing with this. Changed to a brighter orange and changed the eye and tongue in the helmet logo and changed the bird somewhat.
-
I decided not to use the original Rockets imagery and go where I thought the team could have gone if they had survived. I don't know if I'm going to do the Buffalo Bisons / Bills or the (1st) Baltimore Colts.

This one stays away from the orange and green used by both the pro and college Miami teams.
-
Trying a couple of different things with Miami. First is some different colors using the Seahawk head as a logo and then using feathers as letter. Out of all of these I'm leaning toward the gold chicken, although you would certainly see the crazy chicken from a distance.
-
I got to looking at it and I agree. In the designs I've worked on, the Brooklyn Dodgers had a gray away jersey and a game against each other would have been a nightmare.
-
EDIT: fixed the color below. Adding the Yankees. Pretty much a straight riff of the baseball unis although I've gotten tired of dark blue helmets.

I'm working on the Miami Seahawks next. If you look for their logo this is what comes up. Pretty crappy. Their colors were orange and green which is a headache inducing mix. I did find this, a copy of a program with a better detailed version of their logo. I drew out a version of the logo in Flexisign, which is like Corel or Illustrator. And played around with colors. This is after playing with it a bit more. The logo on the left is meant to be the basis for a helmet logo. It still needs work. I'm trying to figure out how to use orange and green and not have it look like a parrot. I could use some opinions.

I don't know what font is on the wordmark. I had to redraw the lettering. Going thru what the font and the like came up with nothing.

The Dons were a team that played from 1956-1949 in the AAFC. Other teams in the same league were the Cleveland Browns and SF 49ers. I've decided to update the teams that didn't successfully make the jump to the NFL. Like the Brown's Brownie, the Don's featured a cartoon character in much of their advertising, There was other advertising featuring a less absurd character, And the wordmark was featured on one of the programs. I focused in on the hat and also drew someone to wear the hat. Essentially a Hispanic counterpart to the Raiders and Buccs logo. This is what I came up with. The Dons had a very bright red and blue uniform and I wanted to use that but also do more than copy it. The hat is meant to have a subtle "D" shape in the brow, although the D used in the actual wordmark is much different. Having the uniform number on the other side is something I hadn't done before and thought it might look nice. I thought about having the Helmet stripe go down the pants but realized that would be a pain top sew in real life. I'm planning on working thru the other defunct teams of the AAFC What do you think?

Did your high school copy a pro or college team?
Darth Brooks replied to Maz's topic in Sports Logo General Discussion
My high school (well, the local school) uses clip art, as in a clip art tiger straight from the disk they handed out with the first copies of Corel draw (or was it Illustrater?) I would love to make a custom one tiger for them.
