Love it! I'd like to see the TCB logo incorporate somehow.If I was doing full uniforms, it'd probably be on the shorts somewhere

That's a good idea! The shade of brown in the image you linked seemed pretty perfect, so I ended up using it:
I'd also probably have to adjust the yellow alternate to be more in-line with the main set (the original one was inspired by his costume in the X-Men '97 TV series).
Heck yeah that's sick

These do look great, but might I suggest instead of the blue alternate doing a feauxback style uniform based on his brown outfit. Just a suggestion

12. Toronto Guardians (Alpha Flight)
Name: Wanting a name representing all of Canada, ownership sought inspiration from the Canadian Shield, a physiographic region that spans much of the north. At some point - and perhaps taking cues from the national anthem - “Shields” instead became “Guardians”.
Logo: A red maple leaf contained within a shield. The leaf is split into three segments, with the negative space forming a “T”. Part of the white border inside the shield is cut off, forming a “G”.
Alternate Logo: The maple leaf and the T, sans shield. This is featured on the pants and as a helmet decal.
Colours: Red and white, of course.
Jerseys: A pair of classic red and white sweaters with traditional stripes. The road white jersey features a red shoulder yoke, and swaps the colours of the crest.
Third Jersey: In case their regular uniforms weren’t Canadian enough, the Guardians almost literally wrap themselves with the Maple Leaf Flag. The jersey is notable not only for being one of the wildest ever conceived, but also because the team was forced to make the back numbers black after numerous complaints about them being illegible.In terms of his visual identity - much like his Alpha Flight teammate Northstar - Guardian didn’t give me much to work with aside from the blatant Maple Leaf Flag inspired design of his suit; in other words, a concept based on this particular superhero (or Captain Canada, or Captain Canuck, or even Major Mapleleaf) is inevitably going to look like a Team Canada. And as a Mirror Universe version of the Toronto Maple Leafs it only seems appropriate to have a uniform that’s similar to them, even if it’s simply a red and white version - or, if you will, the Maple Wings. But with a name like the Guardians, at least I can do something a little different for the logo.
Speaking of names; John Byrne originally intended Guardian to be “the Canadian Shield” (like the physiographic region, as I cited in the background text above) but Marvel wouldn’t allow it because it’s too similar to S.H.I.E.L.D. Guardian was also initially rejected because of other characters with that name (On that note, I have a different name in mind for a Guardians of the Galaxy team). For his first appearance in the X-Men comics he would instead be known as Weapon Alpha, and then Vindicator, before Byrne finally changed the character’s alias to Guardian when the Alpha Flight team got their own comic. An interesting parallel to the Maple Leafs, who were known as the Arenas and then the St. Pats before Conn Smythe bought the franchise and gave them their current name.
Be it the Shields or the Guardians, given the source of the name a shield logo makes the most sense. Elements of the shield, such as the overall shape and the T, were borrowed from the coat of arms of Toronto - though it’s fair to point out that the shield is a standard shape. Admittedly it was starting to look a bit generic, but I had an “a-ha” moment when thinking about how to form a G from that shape.
The third is directly based on Guardian’s suit, which - again - is obviously inspired by Canada’s flag. Something like this probably fits in not only with the 90’s trend of sublimated designs but also the more recent off-the-wall stuff we’ve seen for the Stadium Series.
That third jersey is a beaut!

Normally I would, but this series is more of a basic creative exercise than anything. if theres enough interest maybe ill make them into full sets in the future.
Sorry for the week delay, had trouble with ideas for Florida but I have come up with something that I actually quite like!
This one was inspired largely by their 'jetblue' jerseys, using similar striping (with some creative adjustments). the colours are from their inaugural years.
Hope you all enjoy! Feedback welcome as alwaysI'll always prefer the Panthers in red over blue but this is still pretty good

I like the nod to their Whalers history. The font feels very Star Trek, but works. That's a cool secondary logo as well

Charlotte Hornets X Petey Pablo
This one is probably a bit of a deep cut, but for the Hornets I went with rapper Petey Pablo. I know he's not a relevant artist by any means, but I was struggling to find an artist that I felt fit with the Hornets branding. Whenever I hear anything NC releated I always think of Pablo's song Raise Up which was an ode to the Carolnas so he felt like a good fit

Lastly, let's head east to take a look at the New England Patriots. With their redesign in 2020, the franchise unveiled what I believe to be the best jerseys in its history. Pairing the traditional shoulder stripes with the dynasty colors and double number outline was the way to go. Unfortunately, a lack of shoulder numbers and insistence on navy below the waist set this new brand back from what it could have been. I correct that here, making shiny silver pants the primary at home and adding striped, white socks to pair with the dark pants on the road.
agree that this jersey is the best in it's history; however with there being no silver in the jersey I've always felt that they should drop silver from their colors. That's just me though; this is a great set

Thank you!
I coloured it this way because i wanted to keep the sand outline consistent with the front crest.
I forgot to save Boston, so today we have Buffalo!
Not a whole lot of crazy stuff going on with this one. I am a firm believer that the Buffaslug is a fine logo, the jerseys just brought it down. I combined the Buffaslug era jerseys with the Heritage Classic for this look.
Hopefully Boston will be up tomorrow, lol. Feedback appreciated!You're right the Buffalug does look better on a more traditional jersey Goo job!

Miami HeatXMiami Sound Machine
Now for all of these so far I have used a current jersey of the team, but when doing the Heat and knowing I was going to use Miami Sound Machine it just made sense to use one of their Vice jerseys.
