creativelysain Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Amid my USL logo concept phase, I thought I'd show the world the unis of the CIFL (Continental Indoor Football League). Some are traditional, some are unique, but most are nice overall.Chesapeake TideChicago SlaughterKalamazoo XplosionLehigh Valley OutlawzMarion MayhemMuskegon ThunderMiami Valley SilverbacksNew England SurgeNew York-New Jersey RevolutionPort Huron PiratesRochester RaidersSpringfield StallionsSteubenville StampedeSummit County RumbleMy favorites are Marion, Steubenville, and Muskegon. There is an overuse of black I know, but that's the age we live in. Chicago was supposed to have silver helmets and pants, but went with the black instead, why I don't know. Marion was supposed to be green, but went with navy, but it has grown on me greatly.Let me know your thoughts, which ones you like and dislike, especially the ketchup and mustard Surge Follow me on twitter @jrsainGo Heels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo_prankster Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 That mustard and ketchup Surge doesn't excite me at all. The rest of the uniforms are pretty much at par with what some folks would normally expect from indoor football.

leggman01 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 the rumble uniform looks too high-schoolish, to me, with the numbers on the helmet, but the rest are solidi seem to remember you were pretty involved with the logos for most, if not all of the teams...did you have any uniform input?

buckeyenut Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I love Marion's set. It's neat to see the teams from Ohio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativelysain Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 I had input in Kalamazoo's, Muskegon's, Summit County's, and Steubenville's. It's funny, because these are the most traditional, with the exception of Kalamazoo's.With the Rumble, we wanted something unique, and no one else in pro football has that look. Once I saw it in person, I loved it, and would love to get my hands on one. Follow me on twitter @jrsainGo Heels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezus_Ghoti Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I wonder where you got your idea for the Raiders... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativelysain Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 I wonder where you got your idea for the Raiders...Not my idea, it was 100% Rochester ownership. Trust me, I tried to steer them from it, but that was quickly halted.They had a semi-pro team in Rochester called the Raiders for quite some time winning championships throughout the 80s and 90s and had a similar look, so when this team was started, they decided oto honor that team with it.

CFSize24 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Did Steubenville end up going with your designs? I recall reading a thread where they were going to use some sorry looking photoshop special over the nice design you did. You have made this semi pro league look good, great job!

creativelysain Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 Yeah they went with my design when the team was sold. And it is professional, not semi-pro. Players are paid to play. Follow me on twitter @jrsainGo Heels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCScout76 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Sure are a lot of Red & Black team colors - be nice if teams picked out original schemes.  Kansas City Scouts (CHL) Orr Cup Champions 2010, 2019, 2021     St. Joseph Pony Express (ULL)  2023 Champions   Kansas City Cattle (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eRay Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 i have a friend that now plays for the miami valley silverbacks, and speaking of that, I wish you played up the green a lot more in the design than just the socks. other than that I agree with everyone elses ideas.

creativelysain Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 The only uniforms I had a part of were Summit County, Steubenville, and Muskegon. The others were all the teams' ideas. Follow me on twitter @jrsainGo Heels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I like Chesapeake's uniforms. Very nice indeed.When I had a chance to view the Chicago Slaughter's uniforms, they kind of reminded me of the Texas Tech Red Raiders.One other CIFL's team uniforms reminded me of the former Arena Football League's Carolina Cobras and the current NFL's San Francisco 49ers.We also have CIFL teams wearing shades of blue as well.Just thought I'd give you my two cents worth.

bulldogbarks55 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 The Raiders definitely look like Oakland. But I'd lose the black pants. Too much black. Didn't the semi-pro Raiders use a bit of red as a trim color? Seems I remember them having red trim on pants, helmets and jerseys. And Rochester's home arena has to be the coolest place in the league. It's a 100+-year old former National Guard Armory that I attended circuses and auto shows at in the 1950s before the War Memorial (Blue Cross Arena) was built. The place is great!
