WideRight Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 Brian in Boston, thanks for the very helpful critiques. I decided you were right about LA as well. So, here are modifications to both the Carolina and LA helmets. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRight Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 And my first new team of the day, one of my all-time favorites, the New Orleans VooDoo. No changes to the logo and secondary, as they are great. I did adjust the font a bit, but tried to keep the same theme. The uniforms are based on the original 2004 design, where the shoulder stripes were more asp-like. I also tried to repeat the crossed-viper motif in the pants. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRight Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 And one more, the Philly Soul. I again tried to use as much of their original identity as I could, including using Graphite instead of Black as a main color. There is some black trim, but only in small amounts to sharpen edges. I made some minor tweaks to the logo itself, and the jersey's are based on one of their earlier looks. (Their look this last season was way over the top for my taste.) 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderHawkPA Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Is there a possibility you might recreate other AFL teams like: - Washington Valor (2016-2019) or Washington Commandoes (1987-1990) - Spokane Shock (2010-2015) - Portland Steel (2016) or Portland Thunder (2014-2015) - Pittsburgh Power (2011-2014) - New Jersey Red Dogs (1997-2000) - Nashville Kats (1997-2001, 2005-2007) - Los Angeles Kiss (2014-2016) - Kansas City Brigade (2006-2010) or Kansas City Command (2011-2012) - Las Vegas Gladiators (2002-2007) - Grand Rapids Rampage (2005-2009) - Houston Thunderbears (1998-2001) - Georgia Force (2011-2012) - Dallas Desperados (2002-2008) - Colorado Crush (2003-2008) - Columbus Destroyers (2004-2008) - Albany Empire (2018-2019) - Atlantic City Blackjacks (2019) - Baltimore Brigade (2017-2019) - Cleveland Gladiators (2008-2017) - Utah Blaze (2006-2013) I know it's a long list, but this will give you a few ideas. Thank you for recreating the AFL uniforms. Great stuff! Edited April 26, 2020 by ThunderHawkPA Forgot one AFL team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staats87 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Great project! Would love to see your take on the either KC team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRight Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 I almost forgot to add the Dallas Desperados. I decided 2 big things here: 1--Since they are owned by Jerry Jones I would go full Cowboys with their look, with only a few alterations. 2-- The actual Desperados logo is not great, but the Dallas Renegades (XFL) logo is perfect, so I swapped out the Desperado for the Renegade, added a Dallas star and colors. Not the most original, but definitely something Jerry would consider doing. I believe the Washington Valor are the only team left. Let's see: EAST New England Steamrollers New York Dragons New York Knights Philadelphia Soul Washington Valor NORTH Chicago Bruisers Detroit Drive Indiana Firebirds Milwaukee Mustangs Pittsburgh Gladiators SOUTH Carolina Cobras Memphis Pharaohs New Orleans VooDoo Orlando Predators Tampa Bay Storm WEST Arizona Rattlers Dallas Desperados Denver Dynamite LA Avengers San Jose SaberCats Yup, the 20 team Arena Football League, with only DC still to go. Sorry folks, but I set out to do 20 teams, and that is where I will cap it off. Moving on to another project (when an idea hits me for one.) Maybe a revisiting of the CFL? Maybe a Global League, who knows. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRight Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 And here it is, with almost no logo modifications, and just my take on a consistent striping pattern across the logo, jersey and pants. Blue-red-white-red. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the original 2001 XFL? Love to see your take on that league. I loved the XFL growing up even more than i love the arena league 1 Quote THE Xtreme Fantasy Football League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycast Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 As a huge CFL fan I'd love to see that. Perhaps with expansion in the US but ONLY locations along/near the northern border. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest darkpiranha Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 How about a series imagining if NCAA football expanded to other universities around the world? Maybe even make up a bunch of USA-styled name of a fictional college. Madrid A&M. Tokyo State. URSP (University of Russia-St. Petersberg) Etc.

Wildcomet Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 These are great! I was actually thinking of doing my own refresh of old AFL logos (actually had already made a few) but after seeing these I'm not sure my work could compare. My favorites I think are Detroit, Iowa and Los Angeles. I'll be checking out some of your other work to see what you do with them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
