tsizer Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 I hope to someday create this, but I have had a dream to create teams and actually see them in action. I got this idea from a creater named @Zilligendesignstudio who was able to create concepts of teams he created and mod them into Madden. I know I am far off from getting that far, but I wanted to post some ideas I have had over the years, and get feedback of ideas. I would also love to see logos dropped from other people to get inspiration. All in all, I just love logos and football, and creating them is been a random passion of mine for years. Here is a list I created to give an idea of where I am heading for the Football League of America. FOOTBALL LEAGUE OF AMERICA AMERICAN LEAGUE? NATIONAL LEAGUE? Cincinnati Centaurs New Orleans Gladers Detroit Hellcats Dallas Gunslingers/Dodgers? Arizona Copperheads Los Angeles Lancers Baltimore Divers? Pittsburgh Barons? Brooklyn Bastions? Colorado Whitecaps/Gold? Texas Tycoons Cleveland Dynamos? Boston Battalion Chicago Guardians Miami Mantas Indianapolis Greenbacks San Antonio Riders Jacksonville Predators? Tampa Bay Prowlers St. Louis Stormers Buffalo Nickels? Carolina Marauders Tulsa Oilers? New York Gallants Minnesota Anglers/Dragons/Lakers? Kansas City Twisters/Gales? Seattle Sea Wolves/Voyagers? Wisconsin Wolf Pack? Philadelphia Haymakers/? San Diego Dreadnoughts? San Jose Tennessee Atlanta Firebirds? Utah Canyons Houston Rocketeers? San Francisco Albuquerque Dukes/Dragons? Las Vegas Red Tails/Gambits? Idaho Silver? Houston Rocketeers? Washington Sentinels Oklahoma City Wichita Anaheim Barracudas? Orlando Nashville New Jersey ???

tsizer Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 Now since I do not have a template or computer that can create this more professionally, I used the game Super Mega Baseball to create some mockups. Here are some ones I have created so far. Now the first logo would ideally be on the helmet, and the second be an alternate logo. Detroit Hellcats With it being the Motor City I tried to stay with that theme, and that's how I came across the name. The Hellcat engine is produced in Detroit, and I feel like there is a lot you can do with this brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsizer Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 New York Gallants New York is one of the states that has the most castles residing in it. I love the branding you can do with Knights, but wanted to go with a new nickname. Gallants was a catchy synonym and I was hoping to create something slightly different than what UCF has for their brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsizer Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 Los Angeles Lancers I love the gold and blue UCLA uses, so I wanted to build a brand that can use those colors well. I have always liked the team nickname "Lancers" and wondered why it was not used more. I do not quite have a good alternate logo in mind yet, but that's why I am posting on here.

The image should then embed automatically. Make sure you're doing this and not copying the URL from the address bar, as that won't embed the image.

tsizer Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 Wisconsin Wolf Pack Always thought the Wolf Pack was a cool nickname for a team. When looking up where lots of them reside, there are actually a lot in Wisconsin. I envision that the "W" would encompass the whole top of the helmet.

tsizer Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 Baltimore Divers Got inspiration from the Carolina Hurricanes and how they use a hurricane warning flag. The Diver flag is simple, but can be used in different ways. Might use it in a shield or something, but for now I like what I can do with the stripe on the flag.

tsizer Posted May 17 Author Share Posted May 17 I don't have a PC at the moment, but when Maximum Football or College Football 25 is out I will make more details for what I envision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsizer Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 Love the ideas! With some of them I would like the tie into for the city. Here are the ones that stood out to me on the list and my opinions: Tulsa Racers (Chili Bowl hosts races) Red primary because chili, then heavy use of checkered flag pattern (Always liked the name, and think it could be a cool brand to build around.) Seattle Sea Wolves Teal (Always thought orcas and this nickname is cool, and works well with the city.) Philadelphia Stallions (Rocky) (Love the movies and a good animal themed team [I struggle coming up with animal teams based on cities that are not already taken]) Atlanta Flames (Olympic-themed) (This or Firebirds I have always liked for this city.) Houston Martians Either bright green to represent aliens or red to represent Mars (Always trying to think of good space themed, but was looking for something simpler. Maybe Invaders is the way to go.) Albuquerque Jackrabbits (Looney Tunes) (Feel that I would need a potentially shorter team name since the city name is so long.) Idaho Bucks Antler helmets of course (Like the name Stags even more, but would love to build a brand around this.) Wichita Farmers (Have fallen in love with the name Haymakers, and I feel like this would fit it well. Could use a pitchfork for the "W"?) New Jersey (Sea Devils) Dallas Gunslingers (love the name and a fun football term.) Colorado Whitecaps White helmets, other colors are your choice (What I envision for them is a white or maroon helmet with a mountain range that encompasses the bottom of the football helmet.) Cleveland Dynamos Kansas City Twisters i think San Diego Dreadnoughts Navy and gray (Might add some yellow too.) Las Vegas Red Tails (Not fallen in love with this one yet, but I know they are native to the area. Would definitely incorporate the Vegas diamond into it.) Oklahoma City Tomahawks (Always a fun brand.) Nashville Stars (Love the simplicity, and can have fun with the stars on the state flag.

tsizer Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 Have a couple more sets of logos lined up. One in particular I like, even though its for a city rival I despise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsizer Posted May 22 Author Share Posted May 22 Pittsburgh Mongers Sorry for the glare. I initially was going to use the Barons as a team name, but I have seem that before so I wanted to go a different route. Still a menacing name and can tie in how they dominated the steel production industry. My vision for their helmets is for it to be navy blue, with the cream colored keystone shape with their number inside of it. Tried to give them an old school look as well. Let me know what you think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsizer Posted May 22 Author Share Posted May 22 St. Louis Stormers I always thought the Iowa Barnstormers had a cool brand, and would like to create something similar. I wouldn't say this is my final design for the Stormers, but wanted to post it anyway. Thought St. Louis was a good city to pair that name with, but also give it a little bit of a shake up since theirs lots of storms in that part of the U.S. Feel free to help me out on this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsizer Posted May 22 Author Share Posted May 22 Another team that I like the name of is the Texas Tycoons. I know that I want the color rust involved with the team, but am not sure what logo to pair it with. Was thinking about just making a unique "T" logo, but also may want to make something with oil because of the history of it in the state of Texas. I am all ears and love some help with this one.

Maybe make the ends of the top part into horns? Like the school except not fully leaning into the longhorn head shape for the T Quote If you read on the card you'll be cheating on your heart.

I think it doesn't look navy and cream on my screen, but royal blue and pale green (the kind on glow in the dark stickers) Also I know they're in the same state but the keystone shape feels more Philly than Pittsburgh to me Quote If you read on the card you'll be cheating on your heart.
