Keep your head up, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this series so far, and hope to see more soon, however, take all the time you need. It’s a shame to see a fellow artist get absolutely raked over the coals for a simple mistake, especially by someone who can’t finish their own projects…. but I digress……… 

Self Edit: it’s thanksgiving, no need to stoop to this level for a response. Happy holidays y’all only love

Yeah I consider the matter dropped so let's be thankful ((I'm British))

[heavybass]

Whilst I wait for a reply that won't arrive.... I figured I would go ahead and explain this change to a powerhouse of a Group 5 team into the Ohio Valley division.

MEMPHIS TIGERS

 

So you are probably wondering why did I use all blue for this? I didn't want to use Grey again and the light memphis blue of the Grizzlies was light enough so that it can pass as the white... combined with a blue facemask and the traditional tiger blue... I still want to use the Bengals as their inspiration for uniforms since well looks are everything.

They are a strong team in Ohio Valley.... they felt called out by Middle Tennessee in the NCACF so they applied there and both teams in that league and this league share the three blues statement.

That and the idea was inspired by @NH4's take on Memphis Tigers.

 

[heavybass]

Time for some OH representation.... which is not the Buckeyes, thank god.

OHIO BOBCATS

 

Simplicity is what the Bobcats bring to the table... a much better Jets design and fun fact that if Western Kentucky and Middle Tenn did play in the Ohio Valley then the Bobcats wouldn't of been able to get a team here but rather stuck with the Club Football version.

Again it doesn't have to be overly expressive but traditional... that's what Arena Football is to me.

[CLEFAN94]

Love what you did with Memphis, the double blue works excellently.  
 

Definitely a classic look there with the Ohio Je… uhh Bobcats good work Heavy. 

[heavybass]

Next team up is a brand so boring that I had to reinvent it in the Vs NCAA thread... and it turns out that it was liked so I'm doing it again!

AKRON ZIPS

[CLEFAN94]

Reminds me a lot of Temple withe those pants stripes…..

[heavybass]

Moving onto a team that has some close distance to an NFL team.... whose look inspired said team.

BOWLING GREEN FALCONS

BOWLING GREEN FALCONS

 

So Bowling Green got permission from the Browns to use their classic look and this was before they said Deshaun Watson... now the team is essentially stuck with said look as the allegations get worse and worse each day
 

Oddly enough, it was the other way around in real life. Regarding the colors.

Browns practiced at BGSU in 40s and adopted their scheme. The more you know!

The things that you don't know... who knew.

Next up is a team with a flashy name with a dull look in reality, this was something I knew wasn't going to work so I made some changes initially.... that change is still present in Arena Football.

That wasn't what I was referring to.

Might I ask what was you refering to?

[heavybass]

And finally in this division we have a team I admire for it's scheme, color and identity is shapened and bolded now that they have escape a very :censored:ty conference and into the Fun Belt where they belong.

THE THUNDERING HERD OF MARSHALL!

 

Marshall, home of elite athletics forged in the fires of the tragedy of 1970 are a fun team to design  and now that they belong in the Sun Belt... fantasic football will be a given.

Good work on the uniform, poor work on the description. 

[heavybass]

Ah.

I'm here for uniforms, concepts and the story behind both. I prefer not to hear personal/political opinions on non-uni topics. 

[heavybass]

Right, right.

[heavybass]

WOLVERINES!!!

That out of the way... moving onto the Wolverine division and for the start of this batch.

MICHIGAN TECH HUSKIES

 

To begin with, we are going with Michigan Tech... a team in Division 2 which if some would notice was one of the areas that saw a team move up into Division 1 although via the FCS.... they ain't included in this batch but I wanted to highlight this.... and there was a theme I noticed here was that a lot of Michigan teams that aren't proper wolverines and spartans wear black.

 

A LOT.
