    Had some time to get back into some fields, and since I was way behind on the Dolphins, I got 5 more seasons done, from 2009 through 2013, which ended up being 25 distinct field designs (can't post them all of course, but you know where to find them). Here are some of my favorites from those years: 2009 week 2 2009 week 13 2012 weeks 12, 13, 15, 16 2013 weeks 13, 14, 17

    This next team has a bit more backstory and history to it, before it was a UWFFL team that I took over. The original logo design and helmet design was created by Ryan Connelly, and was part of a featured article on UniWatch https://uni-watch.com/2013/05/03/uni-watch-diy-project-building-a-better-helmet/ A full uniform set was eventually made, as the Express were more fleshed out to become a part of the UWFFL. As I took this team over, I made the striping match the logo, and leaned on more on the black and gold of the team, which, is big in Pittsburgh spots (and as you can see, has heavy Steelers influences, as did the original helmet project design by Ryan).

    Next team up, the Cincinnati Grinders This is another team that I took over from Curtis. Solid design to begin with, but I modified the number font, logo, and striping. Full sized image link: https://i.imgur.com/ybkrqlp.png

    The next team comes from the Metro South Conference, the Charleston Navigators. As for all the UWFFL teams I'll post, this is another team I took over ownership of, as most teams are abandoned, or were owned by Curtis. I made more drastic changes to the original designs of this team, as they were a bit dated from the last time the UWFFL was active. Full size image link: https://i.imgur.com/zRK6C5j.png Tried to get a classic Seahawks vibe with this team, based on the Navigators original team colors. And sorry about the size of the image here, this forum's algorithm for resizing images limits width and height to preset dimensions, but clicking on the image will bring it to full size.

    Rob Holecko, who has been a key member of the GUD team since the beginning, has resurrected the UWFFL, to run alongside the GSL, in the fall, wile the GSL runs in the spring. The original UWFFL ran on UniWatch: https://uni-watch.com/2013/06/01/wrapping-up-the-uwffl-franchise-contest/ With later iterations moving to a blog: http://uwffl.blogspot.com/ And now, on it's own site: https://www.gridiron-uniforms.com/UWFFL/weekly/2015_Champions/final.shtml and forum: https://gridironuniforms.forumotion.com/f10-uwffl Any information about what's going on in the UWFFL is found on the forum, but for some background to the concepts to come, there are multiple leagues that form the UWFFL (think of European soccer). Individuals can own a team in each league, so, I'll go through the teams I own in each league. First, the Calgary Alpines of the Pacific Coast Conference, originally owned by Curtis Peddle (still a part of the UWFFL, and GSL, but due to the number of teams he's owned, he's had to pass some off). I updated slightly Curtis' original uniform designs, and upscaled the logos, based on the tiny versions from the original uniform designs. Full size image link: https://i.imgur.com/xvQu5y3.png

    The GSL had another logo competition, this time for the GSL Memorial Day Classic (FYI, we do logo competitions periodically, which are open to anyone to submit). League owners are voting now for the winning logo, but I figured I'd show off some of the work that was submitted: This next entry was mine, but since I won the previous logo competition, I made myself ineligible to win this one All entries Full album here: https://imgur.com/a/CXppABy

    @JayJaxon There used to be a link from the Gridiron Uniform Database to the Diamond Uniform Database, before the domain expired on the Diamond Uniform Database. Did you used to run that site? I used to visit the site a lot, while it was up, it was fantastic. The uniform template was really great then, and the template now is even better.

    The GSL owners had a competition to create a logo for a "Playoff Bowl" (a game between the Conference Runner Ups, as was done in the NFL many years ago). League owners are voting now for the winning logo, but I figured I'd show off some of the work that was submitted: Full album here: https://imgur.com/a/nu62cGL

    Wrapping things up for Super Bowl LV, here is the poster format I was working on: No scores added Scores added

    Also wanted to take a first crack at a Super Bowl LVI field, to see how the logo would look on a field I have to say, having more color in the logo makes a huge difference. The logo does come off a little odd looking, with all the color being off the vertical center, between the hash marks, but the color in the numerals is great. I think, this game being in a stadium with a roof, and on turf, will allow the field crew to get the gradient on the logo, and I think it'll look nice on the field. I'm hoping, in the future, they make the Super Bowl part of the logo color as well, one that would contrast the numeral colors. A navy blue would have been good for this logo, with Super Bowl in the same color as the numerals.

    Super Bowl LV: February 7, 2021 - Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, Florida Kansas City Chiefs - 9 Tampa Bay Buccaneers - 31 Field without teamboxes Took me a while to get the Super Bowl logo correct. Since there was no gradient I had to basically edit pixel by pixel and match up with a bunch of reference photos and videos. < Super Bowl LIV First Post Super Bowl LVI >
  14. pitt6pack
    Yes, I agree. I feel like this will be a tough logo to paint on the field, but I'm not so sure that the NFL cares or really considers that anymore, since they don't really put as much effort into the field designs anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if they got rid of the gradient, as they do sometimes, and have more solidly colored numerals and trees in the logo, in order to paint this on the field.
  15. pitt6pack
    Well, it's not good, but it's another step in the right direction. It's still based on the horrible template, but, the numerals are now in color, with city specific imagery included. If you didn't know where the game would be played, this logo would tell you LA or Miami, and that's a step in the right direction. I still think the logo needs much more color, and of course a move away from the template. I'd expect we see similar logo designs over the next few years, with the numerals including imagery based on the host cities of LA, Arizona, wherever Super Bowl LVIII end up, and New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX.
  16. pitt6pack
    My hope is that, maybe they had a logo for Super Bowl LVI, similar to the templated logos of the past decade, but they've scrapped it in favor of a different or re-worked design? I'm taking this as a positive, and hoping that this somehow means they are going to change the logo system. I've seen more and more in recent years, from regular, non logo watching people, about how bad the logos have been, and how corporate and indistinguishable they are becoming. Best case, we start getting logos that are more personalized to the host city. It could just be that they are behind on the logo process. I'm holding out hope for a new, and better logo system.

    Some observations from tonights game, and slight adjustments I will need to make: Super Bowl logo did not have any gradient painted into it this year. Some years they have (last couple years), other years they havent (XLV, XLIX). Also, Super Bowl logo hieght looked to be 20 feet tall, and width I can size proportionally to that. Also, there was some darker green paint between the sideline hashes, and the sideline (for visibility on replays for catches on the sidline)

    Here's a great overhead shot of the field:

    Really like this one. Reminds me a bit of Super Bowl IV. I had some concepts planned to do this years field "through the years", with the different field patterns through the years, but life happens and things came up, so that won't be happening anytime soon. I've loved seeing all of the concepts you all have been coming up with though, keep them coming! Actually, I'd love to see this field with the conference and Super Bowl logos switched, and outlined NFL logos if someone is up to it.

    Preliminary field replication: We will have to see what colors the teamboxes will be painted. My guess is the field here, but my hope is Chiefs red, and Buccaneers pewter. Would look much better.
  21. pitt6pack
    Looks like Chiefs in the left endzone, and top sideline, Buccaneers right endzone, bottom sideline: https://fox4kc.com/sports/chiefs/watch-end-zones-painted-at-raymond-james-stadium-in-tampa-ahead-of-super-bowl-lv/amp/ The Buccaneers wordmark is actually smaller than what they use at home, oddly enough. Chiefs endzone and sideline exact same as last year (although, the teambox is wider, but does not look taller)
  22. pitt6pack
    I just wanted to copy this picture here for my own reference, thanks for the link! This does confirm the larger team boxes for this year. Looks like I'm in the opposite boat as many of you, I think the Buccaneers white over pewter combo is the better one for them, and I think it matches up better to the chiefs red over white. I'd have to guess that, whatever tunnel the Buccaneers come out of at their home games, will be the same one they will come out of for this one. Endzones I think are still up in the air as to which team is in which endzone. Traditionally, the NFC should be in the left endzone this year, but the AFC has been in the left endzone 4 straight years, so the NFL could just be keeping that consistent for the near future, although, nothing about the Super Bowl fields has been consistent recently, other than they have been for the most part, disappointingly bland. The easiest way to tell if the image was form this year, or last, is if you see any black at the back of the endzone. In Miami, black artificial turf immediately starts at the back of the endzones. Tampa has all grass.
  23. pitt6pack
    Tried another alternate Buccaneers endzone as well. This is based on their home endzone design, where Buccaneers is outlined in white. Much more readable than without the white outline.
  24. pitt6pack
    The grass rolling is a little different than the Bucs have done all season. I do like when teams leave the 10 yards around the 50 the lighter shade. It's a much better, and more symmetrical look. The team boxes haven't been painted in yet, so we will have to wait and see if they will be the large version for the Super Bowl. Glad the Chiefs will be going yellow endzone again, to have some contrast to the Bucs red. That'll be two Super Bowls in a row, and two Super Bowls in Tampa in a row that have a yellow vs red endzone matchup. With the Bucs endzone, I was curious to see what the wordmark would look like if it were lighter, so I swapped the silver and pewter: I don't expect to see this for their endzone, but it would help the wordmark stand out a bit more. And, we can all be thankful that the Buccaneers upgraded their uniforms this year, so we get a much better uniform matchup.
  25. pitt6pack
    The endzone paint most notably got worse after the half time show, where they had to drag out the stage, and most of the crews and performers came out through that tunnel. They may have tried some different paint that year, but the good thing is, we haven't seen anything that bad since. It helps that this game will be on grass. The Super Bowl fields always look so much better on a grass field. It's extremely disappointing that the Rams new stadium opted for turf (because of the needless roof in southern California). California Super Bowls on grass have always looked by far the best, in the daylight.
