hettinger_rl Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Just a sketch I made as an idea for a SA Raiders logo should they move and want change their logo. Keeping the name Raiders, but using a different image to convey the idea. As stated in the title it just a sketch, I wanted some feedback as to whether or not its an idea worth running with. C&C appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperThin Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'm not totally a fan of the facial hair. I'd bring the bandana over the mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG89 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Truthfully, at first look, it looked like the Pringles logo combined with the Bucs logo, with a phenomenal sombrero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hettinger_rl Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 I had considered putting the bandana over the lower face, but didn't want it to look like the old Dallas Desparados. I'll try changing the angle of the mustache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seancarter Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 sketch looks good and looks more like something team from San Antonio would use but I was wondering what colors you're going to use with this sketch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hettinger_rl Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Black and Silver with white, teal, and red accents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TShaw528 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 You could leave the bandana by the neck but maybe just no mustache? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 sketch looks good and looks more like something team from San Antonio would use but I was wondering what colors you're going to use with this sketchI would use black, silver, and white. MAYBE...maybe another color I like what you have going here. Couple nitpicks:-What is the black stuff behind the skull? Is that supposed to be hair?-Also I don't like how the smile goes past the mustache. I would stop it at the mustache.Other than that it's a pretty good start. Slap it on the shield and that could be pretty nice. I could see the real life marketing towards the Hispanic community of Texas to gather a fan base with the sombrero and all. I particularly like the mustache. If you don't have it, THEN it would look too much like the Bucs. Might look too much like them already. Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hontas Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 You don't need to market to the "Hispanic fans of Texas" who already follow both the Cowboys and the Texans in droves. A mustache on a skull is pretty silly if you think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hettinger_rl Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 I see what you guys are saying about it looking like Tampa Bay. Just not room for 2 skull primaries in the NFL. Back to the drawing board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hettinger_rl Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Thought I'd try the bandana on the face. Also changed the hat a bit and added a shield similar to ERay's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hettinger_rl Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Anyone think I should add an eye patch? Or would that be too Rooster Cogburn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForwardProgress Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Anyone think I should add an eye patch? Or would that be too Rooster Cogburn?Tampa Bay has owned the skull imagery ever since their 1997 redesign. So I would go with a man's face with an eye patch like the Raiders have always had. Also, instead of a sombrero how about some kind of pirate / cowboy hat hybrid? Like, a cowboy hat with crossbones on it or something...I find it funny no one here has mentioned yet how the Bucs and Raiders both use crossed swords imagery. Lots of people (including me) are saying the Raiders having a skull in a new logo would be too Tampa Bay but was anyone saying the crossed swords were too Oakland when the new, dramatically different Buccaneers uniforms debuted in '97? I'm surprised Al Davis didn't try to sue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgladding Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I like it. I like how you incorporated the shield and the Alamo in there. I see what you did there.Would love to see a silver & black version of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seancarter Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 this could be genuine NFL logo for raiders if move to San Antonio but it should be San Antonio Señors make it sounds more western than raiders that's only suggest I have for this concept Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also changed the hat a bit and added a shield similar to ERay's.I really like the concept of the logo, the one thing that irks me is the eyes. The brows/cracks (not sure) make him look more surprised than intimidating. I'm not sure the best way to fix that, but overall, the concept looks great. I can't wait to see a finished product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
