Here's some options with some possible names on a logo for Utah. I feel like the purple and blue of the 90's is their most popular look so would probably be throwing it back to that in some capacity with the mountains and the nice thing with all 3 of these names is they could keep that look and keep their bear mascot they have currently too. 

The 90's AF purple and blue colour combination looks great. I would like to see a concept using those colours and Blizzard, since you have the Trail Blazers in the same division and Utah Blizzard rolls off the tongue nicer than either Pioneers or Voyagers.

I'd remove the watermarks from the England kits, they were from a time period when the team was awful and the kits would both look a lot cleaner without them.

The script on the Iranian flag is a takbir and the symbol on the flag means Allah, hence why the pattern hasn't been used on an Iran kit previously. Using a cheetah pattern or a Persian style geometric pattern (as has been used on Iran kits previously) would be a huge improvement.

I like most of the kits here, though the colour matching on the socks on some of them seems a bit off, especially Iran and the home for Ecuador (the red used on the socks is a lot brighter than on the shirt and shorts)

Seattle Sea Dragons

Uniforms V1

The teal works so much better with the orange and navy blue than the green does.

Just more proof that the Caps need to bring back the black/gold/bronze color scheme.

If you meant Black/Slate Blue/White/Bronze, then I concur, the combination looks just as DC as the red, white and blue, but looks a lot sharper and a lot more distinctive than either of the red, white and blue shades that the Caps have used as full time colour combos.

It's okay, I guess, but nothing really to shout about and pretty sterile. I wished they used a black, buff and red Salish artwork inspired palette instead of the rather bland one they unveiled here.

They didn't elongate the legs, though; the logo on the jersey is how it was in the WHL, which is what they're throwing back to.

Here is Johnny side by side.  The right leg looks lengthened and his left looks shortened.

For the Force, I would make the Fleur de Lys maroon, they don't stand out that well with white on grey. The Jersey looks great otherwise.

All of the jerseys here are really good except the Whitecaps, it feels a bit bland.

Fixed.

 

Who wouldn't want a helmet logo of a dude that looks like he's spent the last 3 days eating nothing but All Bran and is now on the crapper?

The headquarters of the XFL are in Arlington, so that's probably the reason for the rename.

Here are the secondary logos:

 

I assume the trident in the secondary is supposed to be a D, but it reads a lot more like a B.

(Tampa Bay Mutiny, like many of the original MLS names was STUPID and the logo used  for the name was even worse... by my count only HALF of the original 10 MLS team names remain). 

The Mutiny wasn't that bad of a name considering the Pirate lore of the Tampa Bay area and the Gasparilla Festival, but the logo was, with a pretty laughable explaination (Mutiny = Mutant according to the dude that came up with the idea).

If Tampa Bay gets another shot at MLS, then it's likely that the Rowdies name will come back considering the team was pretty successful both on and off the pitch in the NASL, and they had pretty snazzy uniforms.

Canucks full reverse retro uniform. I gotta say, it looks great in full gear.

Johnny Canuck looks great on the sweater. 

As an aside, are the Canucks the only professional sports team named after a Superhero?

Wouldnt a Minnesota star kind of encroach on the Astros star logo? 

No, and Houston aren't the only team to use stars/a star in their branding.

The Phillies play with two stars on their script with the earliest version of that script dating from 1944, The Washington Nationals use two stars on their roundel, the Texas Rangers use two stars in their roundel and one on their TX alternate logo, the Rays use a star/sunburst thing on their script and the Mariners use a nautical star in their logo

As long as the Twins don't blatantly copy the Astros, it should be fine.

Thanks! I really wanted to keep the socks yellow for color balance, but I did make the shoes navy. Let me know if this is better:

 

I'd really love to make these teams work but they've all either had exclusively corporate-named or flat-out uninteresting ballparks. If anyone has ideas to make them work I'm totally open to suggestions. 

The blue and yellow shoes look great with the socks.

For Arizona,there is the murals on the outside and the Rotunda.

Why are T6 in a mostly white jersey while the others are colour?  It would make much more sense for the  base colour to be either black or red.

I like all the jerseys here, the Pride and Beauts are my faves.

Going on the Instagram stories post, the colors for the team could be black, red and buff. The combination is common one in Salish art and one that looks striking.

And?

 

The logo you showed looks nothing like this purported Vancouver one besides the head.

And one is a ladder on a crest with two dogs and the other are wings on a crest with an Eagle.

The head is one of the main features of the logo and it looks incredibly similar to the one on the Lazio 1982-87 crest, which came two years before the Double headed Mastiff Verona crest. I;m pretty sure they took inspiration from both crests (and other ones from the same period in Italian Football design), but it's not a copy of either.

Hellas Verona has the four lines you speak of, it is in a V, it has been something similar since the 80's. It's not hard to take a bulldog head off and replace it with a Eagle, Hawk, Falcon, Pheonix, etc. etc.

Agreed about the Italian crests as there are a few of them now and previously that had this style

The four lines on the Verona crest are part of a ladder, the emblem of the Della Scala family, The ones on the Lazio logo are wings.

Forget bringing back the Barons as a one-off retro reverse, in my opinion the team should be brought back as a full-fledged member of the National Hockey League.

 

Economics be damned, I just think they have a neat name and history.

The AHL League Barons? maybe
The NHL Barons? Hell no, that team was a dumpster fire.

Another Hellas Verona copy.

It looks like it was inspired more from the Lazio crest from 1982-87, especially with the  head and the wing being comprised of four lines. They probably were hugely inspired by Italian football crests from the late 70's and early 1980's and by Gratton, but I wouldn't call it a copy of the Verona logo.

Trademark filings are always done in black and white or greyscale. The red could be more prominent than the Instagram post suggests.

If it is, and the colours are black, white and red, then I think thats a pretty good combo. Those colours are pretty prominent in Salish artwork.

So looks like the colours are going to be black and white, with red as an accent colour. Curious to see the full crest.

Philly looks good, not sure about the colour of the hose and shoes though, blue might be a better bet.

Are the Barons worth referencing?

Probably not. In their brief existance, the team never reached the playoffs and didn't exactly move the needle in terms of attendance, though to be fair, the latter was partly due to an arena built between Cleveland and Akron.

Apart from chevron trim on the sleeves (pretty innovative for the time period) and sleeve numbers inside an outline of Ohio, their jerseys weren't anything special and neither was their crest. I'm sure the Blue Jackets could use the two elements if they wanted without any trouble in future designs without doing a reverse retro of the Barons uniform.

So... the Toronto Maple Leafs are irrelevant then...

The orignal Toronto Maple Leafs Baseball Team was founded in 1896 and left for Louisville in 1968, being renamed the Louisville Colonels. The current Baseball Maple Leafs are semi-pro.

The Hockey Toronto Maple Leafs took that name in 1927.
