RyanB06 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Looks good, but I'd like to see more of the blue of the Union Jack in there as opposed to the black you've currently got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korkie Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Not Sure if its do-able, but actually having the helmet as a union jack with the bulldog either just above it, or even better, busting through it might look really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slickster Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Will Matilda be your mascot?/obscure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyRock Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Oh man... I totally forgot that the British Bulldogs had Matilda as a mascot... that's what I get for not having old wrestling tapes anymore... That team was so great, it sucks that the British Bulldog and the Dynamite Kid simply grew to hate each other. I've heard to this day that the Dynamite Kid can't even bear to hear Davey Boy Smith's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbman21 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Hey Limey,I do see one thing that needs revising.You need to add numbers to either the sleeves or shoulders,so you should alter the paws and bulldog so that the 4" numbers can fit on either the sleeves or shoulders.Other than that,this concept uses the same colors as my team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost_limey Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 I loved the idea of changing the black accents to flag blue (one of those 'Why didn't I think of that?' ideas) and implemented that. As for the bulldog through the flag on the helmet, it looked tooo busy in each version I tried, so it remains undne, and anyhow the Racers have that flag on hlmt thing already.I've also added the secondary numbers, though I prefer it without (are they that essential?).As for Matilda and the WWF/WWE thing, I gues I forgot about that connotation of the name, but I like it, so she is the official mascot.

KennyRock Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 wow! changing the color really helped the entire concept! Bravo on keeping the number gray on both versions of the jersey, it really justifies the gray helmet!Three things, and they're just suggestions.I think the home jersey looks WAY too busy at the shoulders with the paw logo AND the numbers. With that said, either: Get rid of the paws on the shoulders or have the home sleeve numbers in the same place as the away sleeve numbers.Number two, maybe make the team name and player name on the home jersey white, so the symmetry of the two jerseys is basically perfect?Number three, try the helmet with a blue facemask rather than red one, The redf's already represented well enough on the helmet, and I think making the facemask blue would balance out the whole design.Just suggestions, I really like the concept and would get a home Bulldogs jersey if they were real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost_limey Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 I implemented your 3 excellent suggestions, KennyRock, and thanks for saying you'd buy a home jersey... This is my first ever football concept, and I'm liking it so far.Oh, and Robbman as far as using your teams colors, the Red, White & Blue are all the British flag colors, the only one that's my own is the Silver.

robbman21 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 It all looks like it has come together nicely with the exception of the Bulldog on the front of the white jersey under numbers.Is this necessary?It's also pretty bizarre in the context of American football uniforms.I would be interested to here what Josh says about these,as he ultimately has final apporoval on all RFL logos and uniforms.Also on the original concept I thought the blue was black,which is why I thought it was the same colors as mine.Nice job overall.

lost_limey Posted January 9, 2005 Author Share Posted January 9, 2005 I agree, the bulldo on the roads was out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
