New NIFL logos


Geoff

Recommended Posts

My take:

Hammons --

The name and logo both remind me of some sort of action figure, like they should be "GI Joe Action Heroes" or something. I can't put my finger on it they just do.

Rapid City --

Hard to make out the image, but I like where they are going with it.

Greensboro --

I really like this one. I particularly like the "Revolution" font and the use of the flag staff as the i.

Heroes...I'm half expecting Sgt. Slaughter after that comment :D

Aces...similar to the Iowa Barnstormers' primary, though different enough. I can only guess as to what their uniforms will look like

Revolution...I like it, though I have a feeling that I've seen the eagle before. heh, oh well.

My 2 cents are free. Outside of the Revolution, I wish teams would invest a little money in their logos. I really believe that Hammons and Rapid City could have done better. I am tired of seeing teams with logos that look like they were hurried and slapped together just to give the team an identity. :mad:

Iowa-I third that comment (I smell lawsuit!)

Greensboro-For some reason it reminds me of the Saginaw Spirit Eagle

It does have a Spirit vibe to it. Perhaps it's the angle.

I once had a car but I crashed it. I once had a guitar but I smashed it. I once, wait where am I going with this?

pretty freaking close... in shape and movement... but im sure its inspired not a rip... as for the revolution im thinking it looks like a flynn design... but probably because it does remind me of saginaw which i know for a fact is a flynn

It's very odd for Rapid City not to have a Black Hills-themed name and logo.

However, Rapid City is also the home to Ellsworth Air Force Base, and the folks in Rapid City desperately want to keep the base. My guess is the name and logo has something to do with that.

From what I can tell, the P-51 (I assume it's one) is flying over the black hills in the logo.

Here is the West Palm Beach Phantoms, another NIFL team. Reminds me of the former AFL team in Toronto

Definite Toronto Phantoms vibe in that logo... I'm almost certain it's a direct rip, but I don't have a comparison image to be 100% confident.

your certain it's a rip off,eh......

here's the real scope for what it is worth.......the original rough

idea was done for a lacrosse team and was called the Fear.....

never considered the TO Phantoms when I first sketched it........but looking at the TO logo I can see how one might see how I could have been inspired by it

as far as Bosack being inspired by my Saginaw eagle......maybe, which would be a honour.....most likely no......

It is so easy to say some is ripping off this and that......

but that's what this forum is about a lot of the time......

I want to say that both the Phantoms one, and the Revolution logo are very nice. It is dificult to make a logo with the "reaper" image in it, because there are only so many ways to do it, I've cetainly tried.

I also want to say that I love the Katy Copperheads logo you did flynn, very solid job on it, as I was vying for that job, but yours far surpassed what I could come up with. ^_^
