Frylock Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 While I never caught on to the Sabres, Mighty Ducks or Bobcats concept bandwagons, I thought I might try my hand at some football>hockey crossovers. I admit, there's nothing great here, but I am tackling (hah!) some different teams. Additionally, I'm approaching this like SHB did with his MLB>hockey concepts, adopting the same city jersey where applicable.World Football LeagueCharlotte Hornets - home/whitePhiladelphia Bell - home/whiteSouthern California Sun - home/whiteUnited States Football LeagueChicago Blitz - home/whiteOakland Invaders - home/whiteWashington Federals - home/whiteWill I do any other teams? Probably. Will I complete each league? No. To be honest with you, I think I could get very tired with this project. I'm just kind of doing this to keep my concept skillset going. Comments, questions, complaints, etc. are always welcomed.As always, template and resources are courtesy Roger Clemente, logos courtesy TheSLE.com (welcome back!) and Logo Server (wherever they got them from) and modified colors are courtesy SSUR.org.

Phil Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Those are pretty cool. While the logos look dated, they translate well into hockey jerseys, and I think the bell and blitz logos could still be used today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuss16 Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 These look sharp, the logos look clean and neat. Good job!! Doh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc49erfan15 Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 9er likes! I'm a huge USFL/WFL/any other defunct league fan. I actually thought about doing this with the USFL at one time but scrapped the idea. If you continue with the WFL, there's a certain team called the Charlotte Hornets I'd love to see done..Shh...don't look now, but the top of the back 4 on your Sun jersey is a wee bit messed up. Great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frylock Posted July 1, 2003 Author Share Posted July 1, 2003 Aw, thanks guys! I appreciate all of the feedback! SyPhi -- I agree about the logos looking dated. The So. Cal Sun logo just screams out 1970s, doesn't it? The Bell logo certainly still has legs, after all these years. BTW, I'm just starting to catch on to the stuff @ HomeStarRunner.com. Particularly the Teen Girl Squad...leafs4ever -- Oh, wow! Well, thank you very much for the praise! I am truly humbled! IMO, there are so many great logo and jersey concept designers on this board, just being mentioned in the same breath as them is an honour.9erfan -- I'll certainly attempt to do a Hornets crossover, provided I can find a good quality logo. And if I can't find one of good quality, I'll still give it a try. In fact, I know which NHL jersey I'll use for the concept. It shouldn't be that hard to figure out!And thank you for the heads-up on the Sun jersey! I don't know when I'll get a chance to upload the corrected file, but I'll go get it changed on my computer ASAP.Thanks again to everyone for the feedback! It's much appreciated!

Frylock Posted July 2, 2003 Author Share Posted July 2, 2003 Added a few more today...First of all, I fixed the So Cal Sun jersey. All better now! The three jerseys I added are the Charlotte Hornets (as per 9erfan's request), Oakland Invaders and Washington Federals.Now, I know the Feds jersey doesn't have any silver in the logo, although I have seen a variation with it, but it just didn't work on this jersey. So, while the inconsistency with the sleeves and logo may be obvious, I didn't think it was too bad. As for the Invaders, I had to tweak the logo from TheSLE with the colors from Pantone's pdf file. Additionally, I made the bolt yellow, as it didn't stand out from the hand. I couldn't find any logos with the bolt already colored in (maybe I didn't look hard enough) but I could've sworn I've seen it that way somewhere. And yes, I know I forgot to add the captain's C to the Invaders jersey. I'll try to fix that later. :cool: Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc49erfan15 Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I think the Hornets jersey is a little busy, but that's just because of the template. I think I'd eliminate one of the stripes at the bottom of the jersey.Federals and Invaders look great! Cool stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'd eliminate one of the stripes at the bottom of the jersey.Federals and Invaders look great! Cool stuff!You're right, the jersey is busy and it is because of the template. I was kind of uncertain about how to approach the waist stripes, as they didn't match up with the sleeve stripes. But the Hurricanes jerseys are like that anyway! Personally, I'd probably eliminate the top yellow stripe. Either that or replace it with a black stripe. Nah... I think I'll just remove it. IMO, I think the Hornets concept would work better with a third color, but hey, hornets are only black and yellow. Can't change that! Thanks for the kind words re: the Feds and Ins!
