And now for another Tampa team. TAMPA BAY STORM The Storm has a great logo and a clean uniform set and that is what I decided to do.... sometimes it's not about the bad and ugly stuff, sometimes its about preserving a team that lasted since 1993.
-
In Arena Football there's not much budget thus the affordability of having more than one team in a city and I am not putting them in Miami.... if this team was in Miami we would of had a Miami Vice decal but since that costs MONEY they're staying in Tampa.
-
That's easy. USFL: Panthers, Stallions, Showboats XFL: Roughnecks, Renegades, Brahmas, Defenders, Battlehawks

Makes me feel sorry for the Vipers...
-
But then it wouldn't be called a Spring League if it started from the Super Bowl...
-
Well I can see this ending in failure.... again....
-
Finally! The Vipers are up.

Yeah It's preventing me from uploading images at the moment. -
It's time for the obligational bad looking team! TAMPA BAY/MIAMI VIPERS Arena Football will always have a home for a team that has now been rejected twice by two cities now... this is the price of being cheap in the Rock's 'UFL'. Meanwhile everyone else's reaction...
-
I would like to get some feedback for the Vipers if it's possible. This is what I am working on atm:
-
Team #14 and it's back to the AAF and since we have been all east as of late.... time to head West. ARIZONA HOTSHOTS The Hotshots and Arena Football.... a dream combination if there ever was one, the idea just works and I didn't mess much with the design of the hotshots just added the design you see on the sleeves and pants... kept the green, orange and yellow combo because it's a unique scheme in general football design.
-
Before we continue, do we have any favourites that stand out?
-
Team 13 now and we're heading back into the USFL range for a team well known for it's signature Banditball as it enters Arenaball. TAMPA BAY BANDITS Them Bandit boys are a side that I feel would embrace Arena Football alot especially with the style of uniform that I went for them.... As it turns out the Bucs coloring of the late 90's is what the Bandits really need and I could of merged them again like I did in the USFL thread but I liked the AFL11 logo for the Bandits so I used that as well as the 2022 redesigned secondary logo... and went with G/R/G and G/W/G with Black and Red alternate pants.
-
.... might as well rebrand the team Canton Bulldogs if they are reminded of the other two teams.
-
And now it's time to restore balance into this universe and to restore a team's natural colour to it's original form and none of this black and gold cancer that seems rampant in Pittsburgh. "bashes Yinzers from the thread" WHAT IS UP WITH BLACK AND GOLD IN :censored:ING PITTSBURGH, JUST BECAUSE THE STEELERS BLACKMAIL THE CITY DOESN'T MEAN YOU ADAPT TO THEIR BOLLOCKS Anyway let's move onto the next USFL team that personally should never of succombed to that horrenous cancer. PITTSBURGH MAULERS The Maulers in my opinion need to have a more sturdier spine and a fortitude to essentially say no to black and gold cancer no matter how slimy any of it's reps are.... the purple, orange and grey was fine by my opinion but the uniforms they had was of the later stages of the Frankfurt Galaxy which quite frankly no one needed to see again... well that and they aren't the team that shouldn't of needed a yolk. So this is what I come up with instead... stripings and home silvers with colored/white roads
-
Pretty much why I went on a tangent.
-
Anyway moving onto team 11.... and in the XFL, one team rightly reclaims its home.... the Rock. NEW YORK GUARDIANS The Guardians don't belong in :censored:ing Orlando, they belong in :censored:ing New York.... the original design was perfect, the concept I did was perfect and like gargoyles I adapt this team to Arena Football and so with everything else being reverted to the 2020 look minus the 2023 logo but done in red.... the original logo depicited a gargoyle whilst the tarded logo looked like a cougar... Seriously Dwayne which :censored:ing genius you hired thought GARGOYLES BELONG IN :censored:ING ORLANDO?! In all seriousness this allowed me to work on a two tone black theme and keep the silver as the offwhite... WHICH :censored:ING WORKED PREVIOUSLY.
-
Thank you and it's been back for a week...
-
Before we move onto team #10.... I should mention that the last couple of helmet designs were influenced by @WideRight and @edjb93.... the former noticed pretty much and was ok with me doing it as long as I mention him in future posts which is alright with me because whilst I freely admit I am no artist when it comes to logos... uniforms is where I shine the most and tbh most of the Arenaball teams have never been good in the logos especially the early years... See? Plus there isn't much concepts out there of Arena Football teams period especially when you Google search for design ideas.... however I did want to update on the home look for the Dynamite. See that the blue on the yellow has been replaced by the white? It was like the off colour for the Iron I did.... consistency. Now with that bit of legalise over with... it's time for team #10 and Arena Football's first major juggernaut. DETROIT DRIVE The AFL has three major periods in it's history and with the conclusion of the first period there was a team from Detroit that literally ran over everyteam in it's path.... 4 time Champions and they played in Joe Louis Arena where the Red Wings won Lord Stanley 11 times... four of those they fought against BITTER 90's rivalries the former Quebec Nordiques aka the Colorado Avalanche aka the big rivalry of said hockey era. Anyway back to tangent.... elements of @WideRight appear here in the logos and the helmet design for whilst the drive's logo is fine and all, it's kinda dated and thus doesn't suit the modern era.... although I used the original colours of the Drive. If you look at this crisp design and scheme, I would say they are like the Houston Oilers.
-
Team 9 is quickly done just like that and looking at the thread there has been a lack of Arena Football teams that have that look... you know the look that makes you stop for a few minutes and then take a closer look to see if it's real or not. In early years of Arena Football there was a team that only lasted two years but they are the first Western based indoor team and they didn't have an impressive logo nor a uniform set.... well until concepts took off that is. DENVER DYNAMITE The Dynamite should have an explosive reaction when it comes to uniforms... essentially playing in what is Nugget colors with a royal blue that makes any Rams fan proud, I wanted to do something that is gripping and expressive. KABOOM
-
Team 8 focuses on a design template that was perfected in the AAF but then they used it as home AND road and whilst it looked nice, it doesn't work for Arena terms so back to the blank canvas known as: BIRMINGHAM IRON Non traditionalists like @Bomba Tomba shall celebrate in glee for the Iron has forged its way into Arena Football... a design already perfected, all I did was add alternate pants, side panelling and logos on the sleeves and pants... the helmet is blank as it was originally was, well that and logos don't work here. No relocation plans to Indianapolis as in previous terms btw, Birmingham is a hub zone by itself in the South.
-
And those classic colors will be coming for the Maulers.... this will be a thread where black and gold can frankly piss off.
-
But I figured we would update again with another team in the USFL and let me put it this way.... Navy and Gold does not belong here. "Kicks out the Navy and Gold Showboats from existence." With that fire hazard out of the way... time for the proper Showboats to shine. MEMPHIS SHOWBOATS Oh Showboats what do I do with you? I've already used up the Silver Sky colorfont that @WideRight discovered and this is a team that doesn't deserve the Pekka Rine treatment no matter how officials and fans complain about how red heavy the current USFL is. So what I did was essentially bring the old colours back, darkened the silver, brightened the red and made a bright silver helmet to accompany the new logo.
-
Good thing you did mention that... Around that time, the Ravens beat the Giants in the Super Bowl so this was at the time a popular look... something 1.0 copied for obvious reasons.
