Return of the laurel leaf logo,but still with blue outlining (see USFL 2022 for inspiration). 2. Drop shadow numbers. with gold and blue outlines. 3. New secondary logo (too good to resist) now a patch on the chest. 4. Side panels morph into pant stripe with an "epaulette" concept (Tried it on shoulders, did not like it.) 5. New wordmark with state of NJ included for emphasis. I like the addition of the gold. The blue stripe is an interesting touch that is growing on me. I really do not like the chest logo and find it clutters the design. Thoughts on adding the laurel to the sleeves and move the numbers up to the shoulders?

WideRight Posted December 3, 2021 Author Share Posted December 3, 2021 Fixed the NJ Number situation. And here, with no ado at all, is the new logo and look for the Chicago Machine. They retain their U. of Chicago Maroon, the Iron Metal Grey, and the Chicago Flag sky blue as colors. They have a new "Chicago Theatre" inspired Gear-C logo, and have moved from sleeve stripes to a full yoke treatment. The pant stripes are also more complex than the single maroon stripe (and now maroon pants). 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalErnst Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Is that the new USFL’s generals logo? The new secondary is very well made. Im a huge fan of the new Chicago Machine logo and look. Nice work again man. Quote THE Xtreme Fantasy Football League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps tweak the original uniforms just a bit to bring it up to a modern day look. BTW- With this new design, the Generals are now fully embracing their Jersey roots. Embracing their Jersey roots would probably result in the nearby NYC media market and fanbase not supporting this team as much as they would if it had "New York" as a team. This Generals franchise would already have a tall order in competing with the local area teams that play in the spring- Yankees, Mets, Knicks, Nets, Rangers, Islanders, Devils.

WideRight Posted December 24, 2021 Author Share Posted December 24, 2021 Just an FYI that I have 3 designs primed and ready go go as part of Nike's 1997 season updates. I am away from my home computer (where I keep Corel) so nothing for a few more days, but once I am home and get the 1996 USFL season simulation started I will then begin to introduce the 3 teams that will have new looks in 1997. It's Denver, Orlando, and Texas. Two of them will be getting a new primary logo as well as new uniforms. Which will get tweaked and which will undergo a major change? News on this soon.

raz Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Blue helmet for Texas?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRight Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 Here is the first of three new looks for the 1997 USFL season. The Texas Outlaws take yet another element from the real world CFL San Antonio Texans by adopting the snakeskin pattern in their striping. They retain a green helmet with royal blue jersey, though i do think a blue alternate helmet will definitely be an item before too long. The other main addition is the new wordmark, which includes the iconic shape of the Alamo as a feature. This thin outline is also added to the jerseys in lieu of a team name across the chest. This helps tie the team to San Antonio while still allowing for the broader "Texas Outlaws" name to be retained. The uniform uses a block number which contains a couple of midpoint accents (triangular points) but only on the numbers 1, 6, 9, and 0. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalErnst Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I feel like the outline of the alamo needs to be thicker. It’s almost invisible 1 Quote THE Xtreme Fantasy Football League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoCubsGo Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 -Chicago Chicago is amazing. The colors stay, but a nice logo comes in to replace the old M. I also like the little gear on back of the helmet that holds the number, very creative! -Dallas The outline for the Alamo looks cool as heck. I know it’s the 90s, but it mind of seems out of place. Maybe you can use it for a alt. Besides that, the new pattern and fonts are amazing. Keep up the work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideRight Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 Not ready yet to reveal the next two designs for 1997, but here is a hint of how things may be changing for two more USFL Clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideRight Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 Alright USFL Fans, here is the first new logo of the 1997 group, the Orlando Renegades. I decided that the "hand drawn" version of the tomahawk should not survive any longer, replaced by a more linear, block-based tomahawk. I decided to also use this opportunity to remove the singular use of red in the logo and solidify the team colors as Royal, Black, and Silver. I retained the Renegades script, but demoted it off of the helmet, replaced by a block "O" (from the UConn font, for those of you who love fonts.) The uniforms are based very heavily on the XFL from 2001, namely the Chicago Enforcers, as well as a much greater emphasis on Black. Not entirely BFBS, since the logo always had black in it, but certainly a much higher level of black as the dominant color. Here you go, the 1997 Orlando Renegades. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalErnst Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Those uniforms are absolutely beautiful. Obviously I’m bias as a huge XFL fan, but I hope we see a lot more of the XFL look carry over to your league Quote THE Xtreme Fantasy Football League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qckgnc Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Loving the updates for Orlando and San Antonio, my only suggestion would be adding silver to the snakeskin pattern on the Outlaws uniforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
