I think Alt 2 is the strongest of the set, and its number font certainly feels more like a real baseball team. Even though the regular set is nice, the number font doesn't fit the script. I think if your regular set was used as an alt it'd make a lot more sense, kind of like the city connect uniforms.

In my experience, I think you right-click on your image on imgur, then hit "copy image link", then paste it here.

Can I ask what font it is you used, which I assume the same one as the main wordmarks? It looks similar to the Cubs' City Connect number font, which I've been trying to find.

I may be wrong, but I believe it's Bourbon, an adobe font.

I feel like a lot of your designs and ideas are solid, but a little unrefined. I'd like to see you get a little bit more creative with color schemes involving more than 2 colors, and make more jerseys that don't follow the same template as the Utah Jazz (Nizams, Renegades, Bulls, Devils, Baystars, Aces) all look fairly similar w.r.t. "Wordmark over numbers, no outlines, 2 colors in the entire uniform, no white"

I have always had a problem with the "wins are not a QB stat" crowd that votes for guys like Daniels. While, yes, a lot of factors count into a W or an L besides QB play, team record is needed to contextualize statistics, especially in a sport like football. For instance, look at those two statlines from QBs in the 2018 NFL Playoffs:

QB A : 47/68, 501 YDS, 4 TD, 4 INT

QB B: 17/24, 179 YDS, 0 TD, 1 INT (163 RYDS, 1 RTD)

It kinda looks like the first quarterback did a lot more for his team. Sure, 4 picks, but he score 4 TDs too, and 500 yards? Man, this guy must be elite! Well, in that game, Ben Roethlisberger had 4 bad turnovers in the first 20 minutes of the game, and allowed the Browns to get out to a 28-0 lead in the first quarter, and 35-7 at the half. Big Ben then ate up soft coverage the rest of the game, the Browns almost gave it away at the end but Ben threw another interception. Despite stacking huge numbers up, his performance actively prevented his team from winning the game. That, to me, is not a good performance.

QB B is Lamar Jackson from that same weekend, who managed a close game well and effectively used the run game to lead his team to a victory. Yet, the stats are mediocre.

My point is that statistics alone, as we all know, cannot capture the performance of a player in football as well as they can in a sport like baseball. There's simply too much context that can't be ignored, too many small things players can do to help or hurt their team. And as someone who watched a lot of college football this year, and a lot of LSU football (for Malik Nabers fantasy reasons), Daniels really never showed anything special against a team that had a true defense, save for a pretty good game against Ole Miss. Penix, on the other hand, played as well as he had to against everyone he faced.

If you take away Daniels' games against Grambling St and Georgia St, two completely non-competitive games, as well as Penix's 2 easiest opponents, who, I guess, were Tulsa and ?Stanford on the road?, they look a lot different:

Daniels: 7-3 W-L, 193/273 C/A, 3130 YDS, 29 TD, 4 INT  and  120 for 1009 & 8 TD on the ground
Penix: 11-0 W-L, 258/391 C/A, 3440 YDS, 26 TD, 7 INT and 26 for -17 & 3 TD on the ground.

Not that big of a difference anymore. Maybe I'm just more of the mindset that being an outstanding QB doesn't have to mean racking up as many yards and touchdowns as possible, it's really more about managing the players around you and leading your team to victory, which I saw a lot more of in Penix (and quite frankly, McCarthy) than I did in Daniels.

That looks amazing. I love how well you integrated the wings and A-halo together. I do think, however, that with white wings on a white background, the diamond logo needs to be another color (periwinkle like the california logo perhaps?) in order to avoid being lost.

Adding back in the spurs and yellow halo are great updates, but I think the spurs should also be in the primary logo for consistency's sake. I personally might also drop the sans-serif ANAHEIM above, unless you're trying to create an entire roundel logo.

Lastly, I think the tall, skinny numbers are a little awkward, and if there was ever a space where the spurs should see themselves coming back, I think that's the place.

Every one of these concepts is really nice. I have a few notes/questions about a few of them:

- Is there a reason there's that little chunk taken out of the K in KC for the Giants?

- For the Royal Giants, I feel like the olde english KC doesn't fit with the smooth script. Also I'm afraid the purple is too light to contrast well with the yellow. It looks perfect against white but I think the purple and yellow are a little too close in value to be next to each other.

- The mules concept is my favorite, both in baseball and in football, and I absolutely love those shades of Navy and yellow you picked for the 3rd iteration- it reminds me of the current Brewers set in a good way.

I can't help but see NY's nose as another face

Save for the gradients, what's actually bad about this logo? The font choice and color scheme seem fine, and even though it feels incredibly generic, it's certainly not as bad of a mess as people are making it out to be.
