WideRight Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 To wrap up the Reebok updates for 2000, here is the new Oakland (for now) Invaders look. Reebok simplified the look a bit, shifted some stripes around, but really not a huge change for Oakland. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideRight Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 Just wrapped up the 1999 season, so we are gearing up for 2000 in the Alt History of the USFL, but that means Reebok is gearing up to provide 3 teams with new looks. Here are the Top 5 candidates. Tell me who you think should get a facelift in 2001. Arizona Wranglers: Does the flaming brand remain or do the Wranglers go Xtreme? Houston Gamblers: Basically unchanged since 1984. What might the new milennium bring? Ohio Glory: Pretty basic, and only 5 years into the league, but do they need to add some flash and pop? Seattle Dragons: Also only 5 years old, but does the current set really say "Seattle" to you? Tampa Bay Bandits: The thin piping and side panels feel very 1990's to me. Do they pull a Buccaneers overhaul or just a tweek? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they pull a Buccaneers overhaul or just a tweek? I'd turn Arizona into purple and teal and they can go back to the state flag colors later. Bandits could use another overhaul. Dragons might need a retool, but that can wait another few years. Quote The Fictional Story of Austus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Seattle and Houston should get some minor tweeks with Arizona going full re-brand. Thinking Vegas Outlaws XFL logo here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideRight Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 First of the 2001 Reebok redesigns and the only one without a change to the primary logo. The Houston Gamblers go full early-2000's with side panels that don't align with the pant stripes well, full unitard (black with black, white with white), and shoulder yokes too. Bonus points if you can tell me which pretty bad early 2000's uniform this (I expect short-lived) uniform is based on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about making the side of the Jersey on the whites Black and the line on the Blacks Red?

JerseyJimmy Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 weirdly, this kinda works, at least on the white jersey. gives it a bit of vague western flair. that said, this is still a Certified 2002-2010 Buffalo Bills Moment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRight Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 Waiting to hear back on an email I sent to Gridiron Labs for permission to use one of their logos as a base for a USFL update. We shall see if it comes and I can go with the design I created from that base. If not, back to the drawing board. Meanwhile, here is the second of the 3 updated teams for 2021... The Ohio Glory. The main logo remains the same. New secondary logo with a "banner" as part of shape of Ohio. Slightly darker blue (it is 2000) but still a flag blue, with red. More modern striping, including a yoke with partial sleeve stripes. New, yet old font style on team name. Not a huge update, but the kind of tweak a team could make after 5 seasons. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is really fantastic. I particularly enjoy how the banner pattern is repeated on the pants stripes. One suggestion: On the secondary state logo, I think the banner effect gets a little lost in all the blue. Would it look worse to have the state be white with a blue keyline, and a blue banner draped over it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalErnst Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Making it so hard for me not to be an Ohio Glory fan. They eventually get a new logo that fits the 2000s and it may be ball game for me Quote THE Xtreme Fantasy Football League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRight Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 Still waiting to hear back from Dane Storrusten and Gridiron Labs to see if they are OK with me basing my new Wranglers' logo on their Dallas Wranglers concept. Since my whole concept for the ongoing USFL Alt History is to use actual logos that exist both within and outside of the actual USFL, I want to be able to incorporate the work of others, rather than purely invent my own designs. Hoping to get a "sure, go for it" from them since the project is in no way a financial benefit for me. Figured you would want to see how I would incorporate it with Arizona's 18 seasons of flaming brand. Here is what I am hoping to use moving forward. Fingers crossed I can. Yes, a lot of gradient work here. Well, it is 2000-2001, so that seems about right. 3 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
