RevNet Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 The story that led to this entry started last week, when I went to each of the 50 states and came up with a name of an imaginary university or college, along with its location within the state and a nickname (Tigers, Bears, etc.). I went over the list and created athletic marks and logos for some of these places, based upon what university/college name and nickname pairs I felt had the potential to be a good, strong identity. The ultimate goal of this was to create an identity strong enough to be entered into the NCFA. Fast forward to earlier this week, when I hit upon the name that I had given for the university in Nebraska: the University of Nebraska-North Platte. I had originally given the nickname of "Railhawks" to this university, because this identity was barely a blip on my radar. But then, after I had really researched the city of North Platte, Nebraska, it's history, etc., I tweaked the university name to the University of Nebraska AT North Platte and also changed the nickname from Railhawks to Railroaders. Then I started with the athletic marks: From these marks, I created the football uniform, football field, basketball uniform, and basketball court designs below for the UNNP Railroaders: Unfourtantely, as I only have 216 posts (as of this writing) on this forum and not the required 500 posts in order to participate in the NCFA, this thread will have to suffice. I am very proud of this identity that I have made for this imaginary university. C&C are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the NCFA FBS (and basketball) league already has a team called the Railroaders.

RevNet Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Given how small North Platte is, I would probably choose FCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevNet Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 What school did you create for Oklahoma? The Tecumseh University Tomahawks of Tecumseh, OK. If I had given this name some thought towards an identity, it probably would've been the Native American equivalent of Tuskegee University.
