burgundy Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 This was an idea I had for a football team, possibly for a fantasy team. It was inspired by all of the black squirrels around Kent. The colors are black and champagne. C&C welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Mode Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 This could be taken the wrong way. Seriously though, nice concept. I'm really liking that pants stripe.

joshhockey Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I really like the idea and I think the pants are great. But the jerseys are too plain and they look alot like the Saints. Maybe a different trim colour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chestnutz Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Change gold to blue. Add white lines. You have the new Lions logo.But seriously, I'm digging this. Very simple but executed well, and those pants are awesome. Though I would freakin love if that design was on the players' rear, be a bit more realistic erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsox Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 This is a good concept. It's nice and simple and although you went with a unique design on the pants, it's not over the top. It's a good choice for a name too, because as far as I know black squirrels can be very unique to certain areas. For example I know there's an abundance of black squirrels in Westfield, MA.

burgundy Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Thanks all for your comments.This could be taken the wrong way. Seriously though, nice concept. I'm really liking that pants stripe.Just because the name of an animal has the word "black" in it doesn't make it racial. Glad you like it though.This could be taken the wrong way.

Either I am missing something, or you see something perverted in this?The logo is good, the tops of the jerseys bore me, but the pants are pretty cool.What would you suggest? I wanted to keep it simple, and sort of Raider-esque, but it may be too plain. I just didn't want anything gaudy.Change gold to blue. Add white lines. You have the new Lions logo.But seriously, I'm digging this. Very simple but executed well, and those pants are awesome.

TalktoChuck Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I like the updated tops. They match the bottoms and the tops aren't as boring. Great job Burgundyskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAO Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Ha! This is great in its simplicity. I like the updated tops. The side striping is genius. And I think just a silhouette works well here. The emphasis on the tail is an interesting portion of the concept too. An actual wordmark would be nice, though.

OnWis97 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I think the logo is great and illustrates why the Lions should not try to do too much. The pants are unique and pretty good. I agree with the assessment that your jersey is a bit too plain, but I'd rather see some more basic striping than what's in your update. And maybe a bit more gold on the white jersey.
