Thanks, appreciate the compliments! That's a fair point; I avoided that name in part because of the old Milwaukee Iron arena football team. I don't know the status of that trademark so I decided to just avoid it.

I'll give it another try

Thanks, I appreciate it! I tried the couple of tweaks you mentioned and when I get them done I'll share the update. The more filled ball is definitely looking better. I'm trying to experiment with the text more. I think I found an improvement in moving the text to the outer ring, and adding more bolts in the inner ring so it isn't too empty. I just need to find the best balance and placement for those elements so the logo doesn't get too busy.

As Milwaukee's entry into the USL-C has become official for 2025 I have read and heard more discussion with fans about potential names that are more creative than "City (Nick)name" FC, and plenty of fans have taken to wanting a name referencing Iron (the team's stadium is being built in what's been named the Iron District) so I had this idea for another concept. I am not terribly familiar with Soccer naming conventions, but I have the impression that there is a tradition for naming teams after industries or occupations associated with the city so I think this fits. Milwaukee is the home to Harley Davidson, and motorcycle parts are typically cast rather than forged, so I focused my identity on that method of metal manufacturing. I went for the idea of pouring the molten metal into a soccer ball mold, encased in a metal roundel. The secondary logos are just pulling the mold out of the roundel. C & C is always appreciated. I hope you all enjoy!

I would agree with this. I can also recognize some of these as taking inspiration from teams in multiple Spring football leagues, so you may be holding yourself back by attaching the USFL name to it because there definitely are some excellent designs here. The Utah Pioneers and Hampton Roads Sharks in particular stand out to me as clever uses of space and elements of the identity to make really good looking and unique logos. Without context (an alt history story or something) though, how this connects to the USFL is kind of confusing. Even if you used your USFL logo and initials but rebranded it as something like the United Spring Football League, it may help with that.

I'm in as well.

I wanted a reason to try out a new template I was working on for football uniforms, so I decided to a take on an updated look for the London Monarchs, similar to what other former NFL Europe teams got when they were brought back for the ELF. I updated the logo to give it a sense of lighting hitting it from the left side, which also allowed me to create an L shape within the crown that can be pulled out to use on its own as a secondary logo. I kept the basic design of their uniforms the same but tried to update it to fit the modern sleeve design.

I know I'm cutting it close on this group, but count me in. I'll do my best to meet the deadline haha.

I'll give it a go!

My bad, I forgot to look back at the other names before suggesting. Another thought for it came to mind though if you don't mind me sharing them out; Luna Eclipse FC. Hope you don't mind, this series just got my own mind going thinking of ideas. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!
-
Question, I do not have any sort of template for uniforms... could I use a uniform designing tool from a clothing company and upload my colors, graphics, etc into it to make my uniforms or would that be considered against the rules?
-
These are some good names for the new teams! The rationales make sense (I'll admit I had to look up AO in a soccer context but get it now that I did haha) and fit the locations well. Galilean United is an inspired use of that name; when it fits, it fits. One suggestion I'll offer would be instead of just Luna FC, maybe Luna Rovers FC. Aside from being a name with meaning in the sport, it references the various (un)manned missions multiple nations have sent to the Moon over the past several decades.
-
I think I agree as well. Maybe an idea would be to make the pinstripes into rows of tiny stars? That way they look like pinstripes from a distance but you can see them as stars up close? The stars on the sides could also work well.

That idea would make sense. Agreed that losing Tampa is a shame, but makes sense to make sure the hub city has a team to call its own. I wonder if they're relocating Tampa to Memphis because the helmets are more or less the same shell color so they can be reused with Memphis to save on cost? Possibly even the uniforms with some changes to switch logo patches, etc?

These look awesome! Would you mind posting the link for pre-order? Idk if it's because of my phone's browser but I can't see your signature.

An Attempt At Redesigning The NFL (12/32 Denver Broncos 3.0)
Wildcomet replied to Chi-Tex_Kidd's topic in Concepts
The Jets are looking good. I like the use of the Jet on the stripes. -
Here are the last of the helmets I had previously done for the Racine Legion and Toledo Maroons, as well as one I worked on this weekend for the Buffalo All-Americans. It worked out that two of these teams had very similar color schemes, but I tried to give their helmets some distinctive differences. Racine Legion - I removed the R from my logo and put a star into the shield since letters don't typically work well on helmet logos. I also put the chevron pattern from the logo's wreath as the center stripe. As a way to still incorporate the R portion of the logo, I decided to have the Legion adopt the tradition of putting stickers on players helmets to represent big plays they make, etc. and used the R logo for the sticker. Toledo Maroons - I didn't see an issue with this letter-based logo on a helmet since both the letters T and M are symmetrical (though this logo isn't quite) and can work on either side. I decided to give their logo a wider silver stripe that tapers off as it goes towards the back, with a shorter white one inside of it. Buffalo All-Americans - For this one, I took the horns from my logo reshaped them slightly and enlarged them to make them the primary graphic on their helmet. I made the facemask orange to match with the majority of the face on the primary logo. Since they are named the All-Americans, I decided to put a row of stars down the center of the helmet; I tried white first but it was just too much contrast, so I went with orange. I also attempted to gloss finish this one, but given that it's the only black helmet it may be hard to tell without another to compare it to.
-
I like the uniforms for Las Vegas, but I think I'd prefer the snake head logo to the LV logo on the helmet. Nothing against that logo, but 'letter' logos that aren't symmetrical end up with logos facing opposite directions on either side, which can be problematic. The guardian gator is an interesting idea. A bit on the weird side, but so is naming an Orlando team Guardians to begin with haha. I can get behind it. Agreed the gator could use some tweaks but it's a solid start.
-
Here's the next batch I had prepared. Might be a little longer from this one to the next, won't be on my computer as often haha. Enjoy! Green Bay Packers - Now I know in real life the Packers used the G logo even when they had the original version of this as a logo in 1961, but what would be the fun in making the same helmet they have now? That said, aside from using my modernized '61 logo on the helmet this is pretty much the Packers helmet of today. Too classic to mess with. Los Angeles Rams - Similar to the Packers, the Rams' dark blue shells and ram horn helmet graphics are iconic, so I kept that motif and the white face mask from around that era and subbed in the updated version of the ram horns from my modernized logo. Milwaukee Badgers - Had this franchise endured I could picture them adopting a helmet style not too dis-similar to the University of Michigan, which is what inspired this idea here, to take the badger head markings from my modernized logo and enlarge them to wrap around the front and sides of the helmet. I have two more from my stuff I had made previously. I may also try to get a helmet together for Buffalo and/or Providence.

Back with some more of the helmets. Hope you all enjoy. Detroit Heralds - I took the H part of the logo I designed and made that the helmet logo, while extending the line for trumpet to the back of the helmet where both sides would connect. The graphic in the front over the facemask is the banner from the logo upside down. Duluth Eskimos - Since this logo was already depicting what was essentially a spherical shape with the igloo, I thought it would work very well to make it an oversized graphic that would cover most of the side of the helmet. Given the size of the logo graphic, the rest of the helmet was kept to the background midnight blue color. Duluth Nevers (Eskimos rebrand) - This was for the version where the pressure to avoid team names based on groups of people got to Duluth; the rename was based on player/owner Ernie Nevers. The front graphic is inspired by the parts of the logo where the white shifts to gray to midnight blue. I'll have some more to post later on. Hope you enjoy!

So I'm just realizing that I'd made a few helmets for this series but never got around to sharing them, so let's do that! Since many of these designs were inspired by an era of leather helmets, I gave myself a decent amount of artistic license for what a modern helmet could look like, but in some cases where it made sense (like the team is still around today) I did keep the real life in mind. I'll do a couple at a time so the posts don't get too long... Akron Pros - Nothing too crazy here, the AP logo on the sides with a triple stripe based on the logo outlines down the middle. Chicago Cardinals - Given this was one of those teams from the era of leather and from my research had about this shade of leather for their helmet, I thought this would be an occasion where it'd be fitting to give the modernized helmet a leather texture pattern on the shell. I changed the shell color a bit from the dark red in the cardinal I was originally going to use to be closer to their leather helmet in color, then added the triple stripe and the modernized logo on the sides. Dayton Triangles - I decided to let the Triangles have a geometric pattern cover their shell; the front is a triangle inspired by the logo, but filled in solid. The next few helmets will be posted in a little while. Hope you all enjoy!

It may be a bigger move from the original than you wanted, but have you tried doing the inverted colors with the tan color version? I do like that over the bright yellow and would be interested to see it. The only other things I can think of right now for possible tweaks would maybe be experimenting with the size of the star and the shape/orientation of the ears, or possibly some smaller lightning bolts down from the eye brow ridges into the blue space to incorporate the eyes more explicitly. Overall though it's a nice design, well done so far.

Elongating the sword in the Battlehawks logo was a great call, I really like it now. The arch in there was also a great idea. I like some of the changes you made with Orlando's logo, but would be interested in seeing what you could come up with for the new concept that's less gargoyle like. San Antonio is definitely on a good track and definitely looks more like a bull now. The color changes are a win for sure. All in all good work on these.
