Wow. I want this team to be real.

I loved the Tritons then, and even more now. Beautiful.

This is amazing. Makes me excited for the XFL. It'll be so sad when the real stuff is released and it's as lame as we're dreading. LOVE all the swaps, especially the Gargoyles. But the Plunder is a hard pass for me. It's the one thing that's not like the others, as it's not a home run.

Great concept. The 5 and 6 dice make total sense, but I can't help seeing that the 6, by itself, looks like an 11. What if instead of two dice, you show two faces of a 3D-ish die, with 5 on one face and 6 on the other. If you make the 6 the more front-facing side, it'll give it a bit more prominence and maybe give the feel of it being an 11. Kind of like this, but angled to where you don't see the top of the die. https://www.dkgameroomoutlet.com/16mm-rounded-corner-blue-dice

This is going to be so much fun. But as someone from Louisiana, as cliche as it is, there's no way a top-level University of Louisiana school would NOT have green, gold, and purple.

Nice! I love the Tritons. Good new take on a trident from what I usually see.

All of these are rock-solid. That said, I wonder if you could thicken the horseshoe on the flames, like maybe double. It's the only part of that that feels a little weak, weight-wise, especially when shrunken down.

Fantastic start. Popcorn is popping in the microwave.

The Non-flyers and the Grits are my favorites of these I've seen.

Yes. Very interesting. Love the color combo. However, also interestingly, it now looks more like a fish than a sea lion (the tail is of course still a sea lion). And that's not necessarily a bad thing. What if you go fully into making this look try to fit the Sockeye concept?

Cleveland Greens

Loving this. Only three that aren't working for me yet are the Bucks, Mavs and Timberwolves. Bucks - Let the antlers extend outside of the edge of the circle a bit like the horse on the Mavs wasn't entirely encased in the circle. By letting the points of the antlers stick out a bit, it fixes a lot of the problem of the buck getting lost in the circle. Mavs - Looks good, but I'd try adding a bit of flowing mane out to one side of the head. It breaks the template set by the Bucks logo, but part of what makes the Mavs logo feel so dynamic is the mane, so I think there's a happy medium in there somewhere. Timberwolves - <exhales breath> This one is still kind of a mess. I really like the earlier suggestion of using the two-toned version of the logo from later on as your template to swap.

Of the ones you have, C is clearly the best, however, I still don't think you've nailed it yet. It feels like there's still one or two variations possible, out of the box. There's enough similar shapes in both the leaf and the bat that something that ties the two together is still out there, potentially.

3, then 4.
