Is there a reason for your spelling of Argile?

I designed the glitch kit! Seems to me that Hummel may not put out the best designs but simply allows clubs to submit their own stuff more freely.

Mallards ownership was looking at the area a few years back, but they've been in the business of selling their non-Madison clubs, not adding more. I still wouldn't be surprised if the Dockhounds end up in Northwoods League after a season or two. Summer Collegiate seems to be more lucrative than Indy.

Sometimes lower league supporter groups release jerseys too. This happens to be one I designed.

You've made your own logos in the past that are fantastic. Taking from others without crediting is lazy and disrespectful. Taking from other designers with crediting is just lazy. You do good work yourself, let's see that!

Little more than inspiration on some of those... I'd say don't use that one.

I'm sure it was. Madison used to have a bar called MadHatters too.

You are not wrong in the slightest. I honestly hadn't looked it up before going for it, was just going off of the original M logo. I'll try some new fonts.

These are still real rough - I'm just picking up Procreate and working on sketching my concepts there before vectorizing - so bear with me. New pose and a wordmark treatment.

I haven't had much time to do any actual work on this in terms of vectorizing my sketch, but I did adjust some colors and sizes. I'm still not sold on the pose, especially after your comments, but I like it better with the smaller M. Since I've made the cheese holey I think it's probably best that I make it Swiss cheese colored instead of cheddar. I'm considering a Babe Ruth calling his shot pose, which would mean flipping the head, uncrossing the legs, and changing the resting arm to a pointing arm. Y'all want to see that?

The Hatters were in Madison for a single year as an affiliate to the St. Louis Cardinals, before moving on to Michigan where a stadium had been built. It's a crying shame, because the brand was brilliant. I've tried a pretty standard update, but I'm not sure I love the pose so it's still in a rough sketch mode. You'll note the bat isn't finished, the tail is missing, and the cheese is...clip-arty. I'm pretty happy with the head and the concept behind the cheesy M. Let me know if this pose is something you all like, or if there's another classic mascot pose I should have a go at.

More Northwoods League rebranding: The Wisconsin Woodchucks are now (again) the Wausau Woodchucks. Great choice considering there are eight Wisconsin teams in the league, soon to be nine. Logos done by Studio Simon. NEW OLD

The Rochester Honkers of the Northwoods League (summer collegiate) have updated their logos. One of our own has pointed out some similarities to his own work.

I love it. This could work very well as a black shoulder yoke for a white or red jersey as well as this western style shirt often has a different color for the shoulders.

I'll have to spend some more time with MSV and Ipswich. The reason for the deep waist of the Suffolk Punch was to further accentuate the strong back leg. I'll see what I can do to find a good balance. Sutton United use chocolate and amber for their colorway and an amalgam of a few local coat of arms. I'm not the first and I won't be the last to swap the coat of arms for the poppinjay that tops it. I did swap out the cross it holds for a key from the previous crest. I considered tried going with a parakeet green and chocolate, but I'm not yet sold on the colorway, so for now the amber is just a bit brighter than usual.

Here's one I'm not sold on. Help me fix it or convince me it's decent. Your call. I've seen this as a possibility since I first saw the MSV Duisburg crest, and many times I've tried making it work. This is the closest I've gotten.

Still messing around with Plymouth Argyle. Until I get that in a place I like, here's another one: Ipswich Town FC:

Cool. So, which of the two concepts?

Also, which of these is better?

Rayo Vallecano: This one ended up feeling like an athlete logo, but I thought I'd still give the RV/lightning bolt look. This would be their third kit, as the primary usually has a red sash/bolt on white.

I don't know about this one, but it's for a club that definitely needs an update. Hull City: I wanted to go the complete opposite direction of their current mess, and include some reference to the 3 crowns of the Kingston upon Hull coat of arms.

Sunderland AFC: The Coal Cats finally get a cat! The rampant lions from the current overly detailed crest are traded for a rampant black cat more befitting the clubs nickname. I didn't realize until completing the logo just how Tottenham it is, but I'm running with it.

FC Porto: The antique style ball Porto has used for over 100 years is still here, but now it becomes a dragon at the top, the panels acting as wings.

Here's a take on 1.FC Union Berlin. I kept the odd reverse italic. The pattern on the kit is a repeating bear, styled after the Berlin metro seat pattern, albeit very toned down.

Nothing more on Monaco? I'm looking for suggestions for the next club up. Anyone got a good candidate?
