dcebb2001 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Greetings! I am the general manager for the North Texas Orcas and am in need of flashy uniform designs for our upcoming season. We have a great manufacturer who can implement just about anything, but we do not have a present design. We are looking for uniforms using the colors of navy, white, and/or silver. We are open to other colors as well. We want to do something that is clean, but catchy. Progressive with flare. Think Oregon football's type of style, but with fins or waves instead of feathers and webbed feet. If anyone is interested in doing a few concepts, we would love to see them. We would need the details of the colors used and logos created. Again, we are Orcas, so think of Killer Whales on the gridiron! If we find a suitable designer, we would be willing to include a small "donation" to the winning designer via paypal. You can contact me directly at dcebb2001@gmail.com or reply to this thread with any questions, comments, or correspondence. This is a chance to see your concepts become part of a REAL FOOTBALL TEAM! Thank you. Dan Berens General Manager North Texas Orcas EDIT------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So, what I have decided to do was put up a $100 prize on freelancer. https://www.freelancer.com/contest/North-Texas-Orcas-Football-Team-Uniform-Contest-668666.html I highly recommend anyone interested in signing up for the contest and submitting your results. We already have had some designs come in and they are pretty awesome. Who ever can come up with the best one gets the $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uglybus Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Wait, so you play in North Texas, a landlocked area, and you're called the Orcas? Seriously? "Okay, Mr. OKC, you obviously have never been to Louisville." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcebb2001 Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 Yup. Dead serious. We are pretty out there as a group, so we are looking for some pretty far out uniforms. Can't you tell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-ROY Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 So you will make a small "donation" instead of just paying a designer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest darkpiranha Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Announce how much the "donation" is, so anyone interested can decide if it's worth their while. This logo is presumably going to be on all the hats, t-shirts, cups, and other merchandise you want to sell. Surely that's worth something to you.

We are a small non-profit. We don't have the funds to do much aside from get the proper equipment. Semi-Pro is typically pay-to-play; players have to pay team fees to cover the expenses of their season. Nobody takes a salary, so everything we are putting into it is out of our own pockets. Everyone on our staff does stuff pro bono. Fortunately, we have already gained some offers from people doing this very project for karma, so that's good, too. But, we will pay something for their efforts...more of a "Thank you" than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually have a logo already, but we are open to other ideas. We don't have any merchandise to sell, nor are we interested in doing so. It would be on our uniforms (if the designers include it), practice jerseys, and maybe some player shirts/shorts, but that's it. We are not in the business of making money - we are in the business of playing football. The two can be independent of one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonStrong13 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Can you post the logo so we can see what to work off of? "This is our f*****g city. And nobody is going to dictate our freedom. Stay strong."—David Ortiz #34ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a drawing of an orca in black and white. We received written permission from freepik to use it. Now, this really is just a placeholder until we can come up with something better. I considered getting a freelancer to do it for cheap, but I thought I would go here first since the community also does uniform concept designs. I reality, we would love a new, unique, logo and uniform design like I described above. We chose Navy and White as the base colors because black is overdone in these amateur leagues. Something radical would suit us quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worcat Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 that's a fine logo. Dark Navy with White accents on a Silver helmet would be actually, really nice. Bleeding Blue since 1986 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
