Davidson Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 Leigh Leopards. Owned by a man with a penchant for leopard print. One of those sports brands that hangs off one man.

LaGrandeOrange Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 We all know that's far too tasteful for Derek Beaumont! That said, a leopard print chevron is probably the meeting point between "good design" and what he hopes for- as satisfying as it was to see them shake up the somewhat stale Super League table, it was impossible to take them seriously in their hideous full face shirts. Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidson Posted October 31, 2023 Author Share Posted October 31, 2023 Dolphins (NRL). The NRL's newest expansion. For the purposes of this, I have named them for Redcliffe as I don't like a disembodied team... What they have presently is pretty terrible, I assume they are mid rebrand.

Davidson Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 Okay, so I've really enjoyed this and I think I'll do one more league... The RFL Championship, the UK second tier. Barrow Raiders up first. Their current brand is really poor, so I went for something that featured some of the uniform and a new Raider mascot.

Davidson Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 The Norths Devils have a quite campy devil head mascot. Again, Im not a huge fan of mythical humans, so I've significantly reduced the complexity. As a side note, I'm continuing with this series into NRL level 2 teams of the QLD and NSW Cups.

LaGrandeOrange Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Beautiful! QLD Cup, NSW Cup and the Championship could absolutely use a full redesign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 that raiders logo is so sharp, I love the lighting and sharp angles.

LAWeaver Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I don't know a thing about rugby but I know good design when I see it.

Bomba Tomba Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I noticed most of these designs have the V-shaped thingy across the chest, is it really a common design element in rugby? 1 Quote If you read on the card you'll be cheating on your heart.

Yes, it’s very common in rugby league, though oddly very rare in rugby Union. It’s hard to say exactly why, but the standard answer is that when the codes split (Rugby League went professional in 1895 and union was, until the mid 90s, an amateur sport) it became the dominant code in only a few areas. Principly the north of England where it was born and Australia. Common in Australian sports design was the V-stripe design on cricket jumpers. As sports clubs in Australia were often multi sports organisations, these designs became uniform across all their teams. This became a popular element throughout the game as it sought to be different and appear aesthetically separate from Rugby Union. It’s now common in the UK and France also. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
