SSmith48 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Seems I missed this during the unveilings, but the Battlehawks have a chrome Gateway Arch stripe down the middle of the helmet. Kinda interesting, although I don't know how I feel about it yet. One thing I will nitpick about though is the mismatched shade of blue on the facemask. 2 Quote Visit my website at SSmith Designs (google.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw these pictures over the weekend and as much as I like the idea of that stripe, i don't think it looks good. There's something -- plain -- about it, as if it was the result of an errant paint brush stroke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentColon2 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 It’s unique. I don’t hate or love it. A nice attempt at something different. I’d choose that over a gradient helmet. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really needed the lighter silver to make that blue really pop...the dark gray just dingies things up a bit much.

What happened to the use of dark navy along with the brighter blue? Now they just have the bright blue with a dark grey and a bright grey. Not liking that combo and the wings feel like a downgrade too. Guess this old curmudgeon is just gonna have to wait for the USFL in April to find a uni he likes. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the biggest uniform downgrade from XFL2020 in my book; the previous iteration was a gorgeous uniform that perfectly utilized its color scheme with some very tasteful striping and an awesome helmet. Super sad to see how watered down this newer set is. All the personality of the previous set got completely sucked out in favor of a boring and lazily-made look. 6 Quote Perrin Grubb | Aspiring Designer | NAFA Project ~ NFL Redesigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battlehawks were definitely downgraded. I think even moreso with the Roughnecks; I know the logo had to change but scrapping the entire uni for a gradient-filled mess is very disappointing and look too much like a Texas ripoff. Don't even get me started on how they mutilated a very nice Renegades uni and replaced a nice logo with an out-of-place-looking logo more fit for an energy drink than a football helmet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmccarthy27 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Not sure if noted before. There is a DC hidden on the sleeve stripes which is also the DC Flag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, I would've never gotten "Stallions" out of that helmet design. Not sure what they were thinking unless it was Pegasus.

LOL I think it was just a case of, "We need to have a different look on each of these helmets, and none of the other nicknames work to fit the idea of wings". The logo was a simple horse's head, so I don't know why they had to go with that idea. I guess they were aware how stupid it would look if the horse had to face towards the rear to not mess up the S. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSmith48 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Here's a link to a story that leaked them. Some of them are pretty on par, but looks like San Antonio, St. Louis, Vegas, and Orlando might be a bit different.

LogoFan Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 As much as I hate the Vipers logo, the secondary really has me thinking "WTF?" When the logo was out on TESS many thought it might be related to St Louis, which at least would make sense. But what was revealed does not tie into either a viper or Vegas. Truly stumped on that one. Replacing the Defenders shield was a step back, but at least the Pentagon design ties directly to DC. Absolutely love the Houston secondary. Out of the 16 logos (primary and secondary) for the 3.0 version, it's my favorite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
