tigerslionspistonshabs Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I like what you're shooting for with Flint, definitely. But I do agree with what others have said. Maybe take some inspiration from the Pistons' old horse branding, where they used flaming exhaust pipes and stuff. I do love the color scheme though.

jwinters Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 Using the '90s pistons as inspiration is a good idea! I'll have to think about the 'FF' logo again with that in mind. I haven't (yet) seen Semi-Pro, so I forgot about the Tropics, but they would be great fuel for an alternate! I reworked my bird logo to be more anatomically correct, have a thicker outline, and use a darker grey, and I believe it is an upgrade, but I'd still appreciate any feedback on this iteration! The other logos are updated to match. @Karnage84 had an interesting idea in using traditional Pontiac Firebird colours. Here are a few different colour options: Left-right, top-bottom, they are: The colour scheme I came up with Pontiac Firebird gold on black. This could make for a cool BFBS alternate, but I don't like it as a primary. Pontiac Firebird black/gold on red. I like this better than the black background, but it doesn't remind me of the car as much. Also, Owen Sound will be gold/red/black, so the orange/grey would still be more unique. The current Flint Firebirds colours, but rearranged to avoid the generic navy base. Let me know what you think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had been thinking of just straight 'OVO' style old gold on black (home) and black on old gold (away). This way if you went a "bottom left" type of colour scheme for Owen Sound, it would differentiate the two teams. Removing white in the jersey design would be reminiscent of the Senator's new-ish re-design. It also is a direct call back to the car. The flame on that gear should match the lines (in my opinion) of the birds wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtgco Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Definitely a big improvement with your update for the Firebirds! I think the tail could be a bit shorter, maybe use a couple distinct tail feathers, and not curve smoothly into the wing, but you've made a lot of good changes. I like the fire breath and new head a lot. Any of the color schemes would be fine, but I'm partial to the orange ones, with your new orange/gray color scheme slightly beating out the original orange/blue.

Point1 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I don't really know why but that Flint logo reminds of a logo for anti-virus software. I think the biggest thing for it is that it's a very static logo even though parts of it imply movement? I really am not expressing myself well here but I hope that's vaguely helpful.

jwinters Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 I updated the bird's tail, like @vtgco suggested, here it is: @Point1 I think I know what you mean about it feeling static, but I'm not sure how to fix it. To some degree it is supposed to be heraldic, like the Pontiac Firebird logo. Here's my first shot at uniforms, including a black and gold one like @Karnage84 suggested. I think that makes a good alternate look. I'd like to do a Tropics alternate too, but I have to think more about how to execute it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
