NJMHero21 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 i'd probably say San Diego, San Francisco, Phoenix, Las Vegas and New Orleans for the West and then Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapolis, Louisville, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh and Tampa. Maybe re-add the Cosmos and maybe add like a Jamaican team and Raleigh West San Diego San Francisco/Oakland Phoenix --> USL Branding Las Vegas New Orleans East Cleveland Detroit --> Stick with NISA Branding Indianapolis --> I like the USL branding Louisville Milwaukee Pittsburgh Tampa --> They have the nice current branding NY Cosmos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 On 1/5/2020 at 4:43 PM, Brian in Boston said: To my mind, the Tampa Bay Rowdies name and word mark are sacrosanct. I feel that the name and font shouldn't be touched. In terms of a team name, they're not Tampa Bay Rowdies FC or Tampa Bay Rowdies SC. They are - simply put - the Tampa Bay Rowdies. Period. I also can't envision an adjustment to the word mark - even a "minor edit" - that would improve upon it. It is what it is... namely, a word mark in a unique font that has stood the test of time. So, that means you have to figure out a change to said brand that involves encompassing the word mark in a badge, or accenting it with some sort of ancillary symbols. Personally, I'd be hesitant to do that. It will be interesting to see how you handle it. Well, how'd I do? We've got the classic wordmark, a crest shape somewhat inspired by TB Mutiny, hoops, and some simple pirate imagery. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOrange Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 So many wonderful concepts! Bravissimo my favorites so far: Nashville (guitar) NYCFC (shape) Houston (Space theme) SLC (hexagons) Sacramento (state and flag graphics inclusion) some cities/concepts I’d like to see: East Indianapolis West Las Vegas New Mexico San Diego San Francisco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the skull could be used as an alt logo. But it definitely makes it feel more minor league, atleast to me. The rowdies brand has more established feel to it. As it is one of the more established team identities, so throwing in a minor league esq skull soccer ball takes away from the rest of the crest. I feel like a regular ball would just fit the theme better. Trust me, I get the pirate theme, and I agree the wordmark gives off bone like vibes but I think the pirate theme works best outside of the crest. Definitely on the merch though Follow the NFA, and My Baseball League here: https://ahsports.boardhost.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 @BellaSpurs, how is it without anything in the bottom but the hoops and a small 75? https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PERRIN Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I liked the skull and crossbones better, but it's still a great logo. Great series so far. Perrin Grubb | Aspiring Designer | NAFA Project ~ NFL Redesigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sky1324 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Honestly, I'd take the soccer ball out of the skull and leave it there. The 75 doesn't fill the space like the skull and crossbones does, and it's much more fun than a boring number. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very clever. Just out of curiosity, have you considered any of the following: 1) Incorporating the full year - 1975 - into the logo? It could be rendered in yellow on the green line just above the lower yellow triangle; 2) Placing est. (as in established) - rendered in yellow - in the center of the green line just above the number, with said number rendered as '75 in green on the yellow triangle? 2) Placing either est. '75 or est. 1975 - rendered in yellow - in the green line just above the lower yellow triangle? Really loving the diversity of logo styles that you've been bringing to this project, Mark.

BigRed618 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I still think the skull and bones would add some personality to the crest. Maybe even put a knife in its mouth, like Bucco Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29texan Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 If you're adding San Antonio, names I would suggest are either "Scorpions FC" (former club name) or "Defenders" (for obvious reasons) The USL team they have now uses the Spurs logo and colors, which kinda sucks and I say that as a Spurs fan. Also, I thought you did Dallas already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
