heavybass Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 In 1996, one year after CFL team the San Antonio Texans folded, the Gunslingers owner buys the IP to the Texans for pennies and essentially uses the logo to create a new logo for the Gunslingers where Dinky Dalton now became Grumpy Tex... ((Oh I'm going to hear the Wildright comparisons and whilst yes it is true, the look's the same... his Outlaws was a merging of the Gunslingers and the Outlaws where as in this timeline, the Outlaws exist as their own organisation and the Gunslingers here absorb the assests of the CFL Texans just like they absorbed the black that the Outlaws discarded....)) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavybass Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 But then again...looks are just an illusion because not long after that, The Gunslingers changed colors. Grumpy Tex goes through a revamp adding an updated Gunslinger Green and a Gunslinger Blue to the mix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavybass Posted September 17, 2022 Author Share Posted September 17, 2022 And so we move onto the current look of the Gunslingers.... which hasn't changed. With that, the Gunslingers come to a conclusion. ((And now something I wanted to add... this was a hard team for me to do because honestly there wasn't much I could do with the team barring what other people have done, so coming up with that unique green was my contribution.... Dinky Dalton turns out to be a hard well to tap for potential ideas, barring anything else I'll be taking a break for a week and then I'll be posting more one offs to build up the numbers)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRight Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I like the new color scheme. The darkening is a logical step as tastes moved that way from the 90's into the 2000's. Not sure about the black alternate. I get the rationale, but not sure it works with the green & blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I just got back from a week's holiday. Do you think a grey alt would work or something else? Because I was literally stumped at how to make a dark green and dark blue uniform set work?

heavybass Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 Here's what a grey alt would look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavybass Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share Posted September 24, 2022 Only alternative I can think of if this doesn't work.... is possibly Fiesta colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavybass Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 Anyway I'll come back to the Gunslingers Alt later... I figured it's time to move onto the first of the oneshots and i've been so focused in the North that I figured I would go South and back to the NFC because well you know it's been ages... and onto the first of these alts and change has to come to New Orleans at some point given the success of Tampa Bay's Chrome so they had their own ideas.NEW ORLEANS SAINTS IRL The Saints have finally embraced the Black Helmet... but they did it wrong and it mires the color rush uniform, here what I did was introduce the Saints new Chrome Gold and use the color rush as the base and do a B/G/B and a B/W/B.. a reverse of what i did with the G/B/G and the G/W/G. I am bracing for some sort of backlash because the Saints have a good look and me reversing that is going to ruffle collars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavybass Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 Next up in the thread is a team like a leopard... it never changes.INDIANAPOLIS COLTS The Colts after the failed city swap became the stoic, easily looked team in the league.... with Irsay trying to keep Indianapolis from tearing his tenure apart, he kept the colors of the Baltimore Colts with him and he never darked that blue either.... not even when they had that minor reform in 2020, in fact Colt Black was somewhat accepted by a fanbase that was nearly scorned.

heavybass Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 Next up is the Atlanta Falcons... a team that botched their rebranding into something distasteful, flashy and chrome-like... in this universe, they decided to modernise their early years look.ATLANTA FALCONS The new red uniforms contains an off white that is almost shiny like silver and it shows off the supposed 'swag' of the Dirty Birds... retaining the classic black look is the team's alt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavybass Posted October 1, 2022 Author Share Posted October 1, 2022 Next team to post and this one I decided to merge two eras of good football into one new look.NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS Take the base complex of the Pat Patriots and merge them with the Flying Elvis and you get a W/N/W, W/W/N with a W/R/W alt.... white face Elvis does take a lot to getting used to IIRC.

heavybass Posted October 1, 2022 Author Share Posted October 1, 2022 The Patriots in this timeline aren't the dominating team that they are in ours... they lost Superbowls to the Carolina Panthers twice, lost that Super Bowl to Seattle and they still lost Super Bowls to Eli Manning's Giants. They have however... Defeated St Louis Cardinals in 2001 Defeated Philadelphia Eagles in 2004 Defeated Atlanta Falcons in 2016 Defeated LA Rams in 2018 Rightfully the most Super Bowl wins go to the Steelers with 6.

heavybass Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 Well... time for controversy in this alternate timeline. Washington didn't rename themselves the Commanders... no they went with the fan favourite option.WASHINGTON PIGSKINS Yes I went with Pigskins because of the following... The team is no longer owned by Dan Synder, he was ousted and was replaced by a fan consortium fronted by a Native American owner who wanted to keep the spirit of the team in the most well known fan name of the team. The team plays in Virginia in a very swanky and high profiled stadium of around 80,000 Those that complained about the team name were given permanent black listings... the list is VERY long. With that being said, I recreated the original one season Yellow helmets with P's instead of R's for that up to date modern retro... the logo is half a pigskin football with the three Super Bowl wins... the feather is symbolic.

raz Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 You'd probably have to delete the feathers. And for sure reconsider the backwards "P"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the warning comes then yes but I've stated my reasons why... also kind of impossible for the backwards P considering the feathers and all.

Just rotate the P, not the whole logo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
