jdp Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 This is really fine work. Favorites are Jet City and Redwoods so far. I like your template layout but i find my aging eyes squinting a lot. Would love to be able to see more detail.Thanks for the kind words.These should be 1584 x 702px. If they're not clicking open at that size, I'll have to check what's going on.Unless you mean you'd like to see the elements pulled out and presented as separate images...? "Type something, will ya?

camly Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Is the pattern for the sponsors that they are from TV shows? Tweek Bros Coffee is from South Park, which is based in Colorado. ACME is from Looney Toons, which has scenes in Monument Valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACME is from Looney Toons, which has scenes in Monument Valley.Yup. TV shows, movies, etc. And they all have something to do with the respective state (either set or filmed there). Finding brands from some states was maybe the most difficult part.Anyway... next!Nevada Sages SC - located in Las Vegas Inspiration: Nevada is also known as the Sagebrush State, and that is where the team gets its name and color. An interesting color choice, to be sure, but sometimes you have to try stuff out. I don’t think this looks all that bad, so I ran with it. Despite the team name, Nevada’s official nickname is Silver State, and that was the inspiration for the clash kit. "Type something, will ya?

Bomba Tomba Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 NY should be Goliath National Bank If you read on the card you'll be cheating on your heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdp Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 NY should be Goliath National BankHa! Didn't even think of that one; I had another in mind. But maybe the NY team is so rich and powerful they were able to get a primary and clash sponsor. "Type something, will ya?

jrcollis714 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Nevada looks great. The crest is gorgeous and the uniforms are stride to stride with it. Great job, this series is very fun to follow!

jdp Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Continuing the Mountain Division...Duke City SC - located in AlbuquerqueInspiration: Albuquerque is nicknamed the Duke City for Francisco Fernández de la Cueva, the Duke of Alburquerque [sic]. Elements and colors of the city seal and state flag make up the crest. "Type something, will ya?

jrcollis714 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 This is a nice look for Albuquerque. I like the simplicity of it, and the yellow complements the red nicely on the home kit.

jdp Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Last of the Mountain Division...Beehive SC - located in Salt Lake CityInspiration: Utah is the Beehive State, so there you go. Everything about this team grew from there.FYI - I promise, I'm about done posting the slightly tweaked original/older stuff. Just a couple more, then everything else in new.

jdp Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 And now it's time for the High Plains DivisionBoise Gems SCInspiration: Idaho has an abundance of gems, thus it is called the Gem State. Because garnet is the state gem, that is the primary color, and I’ve always thought light/powder blue compliments very well. The primary kit includes a chevron-esque pattern to mimic the bottom of the gem-shaped crest. "Type something, will ya?

jdp Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 All of these are sick, can't wait for the East Coast!Thanks! I didn't necessarily intend on going west to east. Just the way the ideas came to me. I think I'll switch up the divisions after this one. Plenty more coming soon. "Type something, will ya?

jdp Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 High Plains Division - continued...Big Sky SC - located in BillingsInspiration: “Big Sky Country” (Montana) has a big sky overhead, so the colors reflect that on the primary. The brown is there to bring in the grizzly from the crest. As for the clash, it departs pretty significantly from the primary colors, but that is because the state motto is “Gold and Silver”--or "Oro y Plata" as seen on the back of the clash kit--but the team chose to focus on the gold. You’ll also see the state appear near the jersey hem.NOTE: This particular crest would be great to get feedback on--the bear especially. This is probably the “best” render I’ve done on an animal that isn’t a bird, but any critiques, good or bad, would be appreciated. "Type something, will ya?

jrcollis714 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Really nice work on Big Sky, loving that crest. My only problem is that while I know this is fictional, it just feels wrong having a major league team in such a small market area.

My only problem is that while I know this is fictional, it just feels wrong having a major league team in such a small market area.Completely understand. For the most part, I went with the largest city in the state. Just wait until we get to Wyoming, though. Here are some city populations for comparison's sake:Billings, MT = ~110kBoise, ID = ~216kSioux Falls, SD = ~168kProvidence, RI = ~178kKansas City, MO = ~150kGreen Bay, WI = ~104kObviously, some have larger metro areas, but smaller markets have been able to sustain a pro team for years. All that to say, it didn't bother me much putting teams in the High Plains states. "Type something, will ya?

jdp Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 NDSC - located in FargoInspiration: The Roughriders and Teddy Roosevelt (whose hat is depicted in the crest). The colors of the actual Roughriders were navy and tan, but tan was already present on other teams in the division. So yellow it was. "Type something, will ya?
