As someone that has worked at a lot of Idaho high school sports events in the past three or so years, this is a very interesting series, and I wish that some of these schools could take note of these design cues. With that said I have a couple of things that I want to note about the treasure valley schools, having spent most of my time around them. Eagle has used the broncos logo for what seems like forever and it seemed like they were beginning to want to change it in the past year or so, because there were different Bronco-esq variations that were starting to be used. I distinctly remember the girls, and maybe the boys basketball teams, using a more rounded logo on some apparel, but it hasn’t seemed to catch on throughout the rest of the athletic department. Funny you say that Meridian looks like if Michigan became a high school. I know of multiple meridian parents that have bought Michigan gear with the block M to wear to sporting events. The school is pretty shameless about using the block M in all sorts of athletic and non athletic use cases, especially as they have seemingly moved away from the warrior head in the past five or so years. Mountain View is the school that I know the most about, for a number of reasons. Before I get into the design part, the school is only at about 2600 students as of last year, not 3500, but it still is a ton of kids and there has been rumors of another school being built on the south side of Meridian, but the school district has not even been able to find land for the potential school, much less build it. The logo that is used as the primary currently throughout the schools athletics is somewhat like the Houston Texans as you mentioned, but unlike Eagle, there is a difference. Rumor has it that when the school was built in 2002 or so, the Texans were new into the NFL, so the logo was loosely based off of it. I personally like the MVHS version better but that is neither here nor there. The interlocking MV logo has really only been used by the baseball team and occasionally by the football team on helmets . The baseball teams has used it as their primary logo for as long as I can remember, so at least for the last ten or so years. It is a logo that does seem underutilized, but that is a decision that is above my pay grade. I am also not sure I have seen the Nebraska-Omaha logo being used before, but it could be something I just haven’t noticed. The school as a whole has been pretty good at sticking with the kelly green, except for the football team which has a set of neon Seahawks style uniforms that they trot out every year for the homecoming game. They should remain in whatever storage closet they come out of, as it almost looks like they glow? They also come with reflective numbers, not unlike the ones Boise State uses. I do think this uniform set fits with the school’s other uniforms very well, and would look great on ice, or off. Script is something all teams should implement, if used correctly, more often than they do, and it looks great with the triple stripe. This is a 100% true statement and I don’t understand how the school feels that old, with not actually being that old. They seem to have gotten a new gym in the past 10ish years maybe, and it is one of the bigger ones in the valley, but beyond that the school as a whole is just old. I remember going to a football game that Capital played last year and there was no rhyme or reason to the helmet colors, except that there was more black helmets than gold. It just seemed to be random, which is something that I have never seen before, and agree that it might not be totally legal but they seem to be doing it with no issue. With that said I think all of the other schools look great, and could most certainly take some design cues from this series. I especially think that the sets you made for Moscow, Post Falls and Mountain Home are really good and fit their schools well. Excited to see where the rest of this series leads!
