themightyspitz Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Another NFL Europe all-MS Paint concept! I'm personally not feeling this concept as much as I felt my first Hamburg ones. I had some initial problems with the colors, but for the most part, everything's been sorted out. I wasn't sure whether to add the Barcelona Dragons logo to the pants, so I just left the pants with the stripes. I know the font for Graziani's name is dreadful, but I couldn't locate the page that I saw one time with the names and numbers for all the NFL teams. So without further ado, here it is:All input is welcome. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB61 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Very clean and businesslike. I like it, it's ashame they're not in NFL Germany anymore though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themightyspitz Posted May 28, 2005 Author Share Posted May 28, 2005 Graziani?!?!?!? I dont know if the Philadelphia Soul QB is gonna be playing in NFL europe soon. He already played with the Barcelona Dragons back in 2000. Barcelona's dead, but I decided to make a concept for them anyways. Here's a pic of him and a link to the page that talks about him. http://www.nfleurope.com/news/archive/07062000_graziani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapshot Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Is that shield really the secondary logo or did you take that from a soccer team? It looks like it has a soccer ball or volleyball in the crest.

MJWalker45 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 The last two seasons they wore the FC Barcelona crest on their jerseys. Tehy were actually FC Barcelona Dragons and played at the Mini-Estadi in place of Montjuic. So yes, that is a soccer ball on the shoulders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themightyspitz Posted May 28, 2005 Author Share Posted May 28, 2005 Yes, their last two seasons they joined FC Barcelona, hence the odd crest. I modified it to make it look like a dragon was clutching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I modified it to make it look like a dragon was clutching it. that part is cool. one of the more subtle things i saw that really makes it unique. Great concept...too bad it's defunct now.

GeorgesL Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 I miss that team a lot. The Dragons were well operated. Now every successfully-operated team is going to Germany. It seems they always got money to throw around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themightyspitz Posted May 28, 2005 Author Share Posted May 28, 2005 Thanks you guys! Aye...'tis a shame that some great NFLEL teams have gone under...the Dragons exemplify this. I guess not as many Spanish, British, and Scottish fans cared for American football as much as the German and Dutch fans, although I could be wrong. I'll finish up the defunct NFLEL teams and go for a Monarchs and Claymores concept next, so I should have two to show next time. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ_Barlik Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 I always loved the Dragons logo and especially how well it "fit" on the helmet. I did a lot of logo work on the NFLE helmets -- see link:NFL Europe Tribute 5-time Defending NL East Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a lot of logo work on the NFLE helmets -- see link:NFL Europe Tribute Definately, man. Those are nice! I personally liked the first Berlin Thunder helmet better than the current one...always looked better to me when that hammer was tilted a bit to the side. Those fans with the WWI helmet and the little hammer on top instead of the spoke are crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRight Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Nice concept. One minor comment. The NFLE/WLAF was smart to avoid red-yellow-red stripes for Barcelona. Barcelona is in the very independence-minded region of Catalonia (Catalunya). Many Barcelonans view themselves as Catalans first and Spaniards second (or third). It is as if you used the British flag for Scotland instead of the Scottish one. If you look at their NFLE uniforms the last few years, the sleeve stripes are the Catalan flag (A series of thin red-yellow-red-yellow-red-yellow-etc) and not the simpler 3 stripe Spanish Flag.By the way, I saw the Dragons play twice, both at the Olympic stadium before they affiliated with FC Barcelona. It was a good time, a little sparce in the crowd department, but still a nice bit of football while I was abroad.I still think the NFL botched this by not growing sooner to create rivals. The NFL Europe could work with 10 teams, with better rivals they might be able to offset the current Germanification of the league and the loss of other sites. NFLE 10HamburgCologneBerlinFrankfurtRheinLondon (give them 1 stadium for 3 years, and keep prices down, people will go.)ScottishBarcelonaMadridAmsterdampossibly add in Rome & Milan later (or Turin/Milan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
