Djruggs Posted October 15, 2022 Author Share Posted October 15, 2022 In what will likely be one of the most tame Signature Series sets, we have the BC Lions. I really loved their set in 2013 when they first came out (apparently so did everyone else since they sorta brought them back just yesterday) so I decided to make some changes to them and give my take on their gun metal and black set.

Once I'm finished with the standard 9 Signature Series sets, I'd be happy to look into some ideas for the Schooners and potentially a Quebec City team! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djruggs Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 Next up in the Signature Series, we have the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Inspiration for this set is fairly obvious, but after playing around with it, I came up with something I liked. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djruggs Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 For the Calgary Stampeders, I was digging around their old logos and came across their old horseshoe logo from the early 2000's, so I decided to base their Signature Series uniform off of them. C&C always appreciated. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djruggs Posted October 20, 2022 Author Share Posted October 20, 2022 For Ottawa, it was an obvious decision, but I didn't want to do it halfway. Plaid is a major part of this uniform and that includes the plaid helmet they were supposed to wear last time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djruggs Posted October 20, 2022 Author Share Posted October 20, 2022 So, I ended up finishing the remaining 3 of the Signature Series uniforms today and decided to post. For the Elks and Riders, they're pretty straight forward concepts: editing some of their existing logos to become centerpieces to the uniform set. As for the Ti-Cats, it's probably the most outlandish of the Signature Series: Tiger stripes... everywhere. C&C always welcome. In the coming days, I'll be posting mockups for 3 expansion teams: The Atlantic Schooners, The Quebec Monarchs, and The Victoria Capitals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djruggs Posted October 22, 2022 Author Share Posted October 22, 2022 For the first expansion team, we have the most obvious choice: The Atlantic Schooners. I based the majority of their uniforms on a lot of the unofficial fan jerseys floating around, but I decided to focus more on white and gold rather than silver and a more yellowy gold. For their Signature Series uniform, I decided to lean heavily on the nautical theme with their jersey and stripe accents. C&C is always appreciated. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just might play around with that once I finish up this series! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbird669 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 The Schooners look great! Really hoping they get added as a 10th franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djruggs Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 For our second expansion team, we have the Quebec Monarchs; based out of Quebec City. There was no frame of reference for a new team, but I decided use the flor di li found on the Quebec flag, as well as choosing purple to be their main color since it's traditionally a fairly royal color and there are no other purple teams in the league. For their Signature Series uniform, I decided to take heavy inspiration from the Nordiques since there is no history to draw inspiration from. C&C always appreciated. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo_prankster Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Very nice. I like the Kansas State color combo for the Monarchs. Quote The Fictional Story of Austus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djruggs Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 Well, we've reached the end of this series. Our final expansion team is the Victoria Capitals, located in Victoria, BC. I chose to put another team in BC because with the first two expansion teams being in the east, I needed another team to balance out the divisions. I based their name and colors off of the failed CBL team under the same name. For the Capitals' Signature Series Uniform, admittedly, I was grasping for straws, but I decided to base the uniform accents on the original team's cap logo. If anyone has any suggestions for this one, I'm always open to C&C. I'm really proud of this series, and if there are no further updates, I'll be posting a few compilation images tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PERRIN Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Both expansion teams are amazing, especially Quebec. I love that purple and silver color scheme and the slight black details in the striping work really well. Victoria is solid but it's probably a bit too close in terms of uniform elements and color scheme to Coastal Carolina to pass for real and I think the logo could stand to be a bit more creative. Regardless, this has been an excellent epilogue to a spectacular series, very good job across the board.

Yeah, I was a bit worried about them being too similar to Coastal, but I wasn't quite sure about where else to go with them, especially since I wanted to avoid doing another blue or red team.

WestCoastBias Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Why isn't there currently a team in Quebec City or Nova Scotia? It'd get the league to 10 teams and balance the divisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djruggs Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 Just wanted to drop by and close out this series with some compilations of the uniforms.
