First Original Concept Art

[TheGodfather]

So recently my friends and I were discussing the stupidity which is the DEVIL Rays name/uniform. While talking, I drew up some quick sketches and decided to put them onto the computer.

Now I am no expert at any computer editing/creating software, and just used simple sketch in Paint. I'm sure many will have things to improve, but please nothing too harsh, lol. I really know this isn't perfect, it is just the matter of getting the idea onto the computer.

Thanks for looking, at the Tampa Bay Devils.

Well... at least you and the Rays used the same program to design them.

The "Devil" part of "Devil Rays" is what they were getting rid of due to (unnecessary) complaining, so I don't think Devils was ever an option.

Hehe. Yeah its a good start. Might want to throw in a gray uni along with it though.

New Jersey already did the "devil horns and tail incorporated into letters" better than probably anyone ever will.

Not that yours looks bad--but New Jersey's is so iconic, that anything else will only look derivative.

What about calling them the St. Petersburg Devils? I always thought that would be a sweet name. I agree that you have a solid basic framework there and I am interested in seeing the project progress.

choose a number font more fitting for a sports team (a.k.a. not that) any block could look good. also, some outlines on "devils" could sharpen it a bit.

To McCall, that was the point. Bucking the idea of keeping the Devil out of DEVIL Rays, and just making them plain Devils.

Thank you to the others. I do realize that the Devils in hockey basically own that idea, but that is kinda where I went from.

Now that I'm off for the summer maybe I'll work on these some more and come up with something more solid and a tad more original in terms of the letter logo.

Thanks guys.
