LeeTraylor Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 About a year ago I posted my vision of the new XFL. Since the XFL has announced its initial eight cities, I thought I'd revisit the project and make identities for each city that we now know will house an XFL franchise. For some of the new cities I've re-used some ideas from the previous project and in others I started new. First up, the Washington DC Generals.

raz Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I like it, but the logo looks like BE more than it does DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLEstones Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Major flooper with the logo. I thought it was BC for British Columbia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeTraylor Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Working on a few ideas for changing the logo, but for now here is attempt #2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRC4 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 it's better than the first one, but is the minor "wave" in the middle intentional? It looks out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucknut42 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 On the whtite uniforms, your player name on the back is also white. Blue would probably be the best there. Pretty solid start so far though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks out of place. The wave was intentional - the current logo is meant to look like it's made up of a ribbon or bunting. The ribbon/bunting theme inspired the identity. I'm not certain that it works, but that was the original idea. 24 minutes ago, bucknut42 said: On the whtite uniforms, your player name on the back is also white.

Not ignoring the needed changes to the DC Generals, but I'm going to post the next franchise before I make any more revisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want the ribbon effect, I’d round the corners, but as it stands it’s too little like a ribbon or DC and comes off as bland as generic, looks mainly like an x to me, I’d try to start from scratch and come at it from a different angle. The uniforms aren’t bad, just a lot of stars that could probably be gotten ridden of. The white pants don’t have stars at all either. Sorry if this came off as rude.

Right now the way you have it cross seems to help the C be more defined than the D. Switching the cross over with help switch that. The C can stand to lose definition and still look like a C. The D can't. In other words, overlap the top left side over the right. College sports as we know them are just about dead. The lid is off on all the corruption that taints just about every major program and every decision that the schools or the NCAA make is only about money, money, and more money. We'll have three 16+ team super-conferences sooner rather than later, killing much of the regional flair and traditional rivalries that make college sports unique and showing the door to any school that doesn't bring money to the table in the process. Pretty soon the smaller schools are going to have to consider forming their own sanctioning body to keep the true spirit of college sports alive because the NCAA will only get worse in it's excess from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleclock Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 The US flag in the end zones is pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbadger9 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Logos and unis look great, but I'd also switch the cross for DC and change up the font on the back of Tampa's jerseys. It doesn't really match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midwest_surfer Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 That original DC logo would be a great start to a pretty cool Washington Nationals logo since you are using home plate shapes to make the letters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeTraylor Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 I'll flip the ribbon in the DC logo, thanks for the feedback! Up next we've got the Houston Gamblers. This isn't a full-blown modernization of the USFL franchise of the same name, but I did borrow some elements - mainly I updated the USFL Gamblers logo to use as a secondary logo. The primary logo uses the stripes and laces of a football to form an H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Section30 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I like the Gamblers, the colors and logos are nice. I'm not a fan of the "Gamblers" wordmark, the black boxes of varying thicknesses and spaces in between just don't work IMO.

The original idea was to inject a nod to the oil industry by adding some oil streaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raz Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 OK I gotta say, now it looks like DX. Not trying to be a jerk here, just my own observations. I do like Tampa Bay, but I don't get the X on the Gamblers' socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
