RaiseTheBanner Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I had started an MLB series, but I'm going to take a break from it for a while, seeing that people are getting tired of them. So here's an idea that popped into my head as I was browsing sportslogos.net. I'll be doing an XFL series, just for fun. Now, I wasn't very old when the league existed, but I recall enough to know that it was pretty hated. But oh well...I plan on redesigning all teams, with uniforms and possibly logos. I hope you enjoy.First up is the XFL logos. All I did was update the old logo and added a wordmark. The black X logo and the red wormark would be primary, with the other two being secondary logos. I kept it fairly simple. Comments and/or criticism?Here is the old logo for reference:And if for any reason you feel compelled to request a team you'd like to see first, please do so. avatar by crkraider22, signature by crkraider22 and chestnutz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckDownfield Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 First of all, I like the idea. However, the league logo is a downgrade IMO. As for a request, lets see some Outlaws! GIANTS_REDSOX_CELTICS_LIGHTNING_BULLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmac Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 This is a good idea...I guess. For the league logo, I agree with chuckdownfield, it's kind of a downgrade. It's not as sharp as the original. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have to be the same as the original, but I wouldn't use something as plain as what you started with. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergeimakarenkov44 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 this should be cool. Make sure you follow the league's name and make the jerseys more, um, "out there." if it's the XFL everything should be crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bohob Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Your font is far superior to the atrocity known as Copperplate. However, it could be better. Currently, it competes with the X too much. Try a holding shape behind it a la the Bucks, or T'wolves. Then you can try white letters, which will really pop off the black (ducking as I say "pop"). The XFL could be thicker as well.

Korbyn Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Great idea!I was only like 9 when the league was around but I liked it, I guess I wasn't the age group they were trying to target though.Can't wait to see some concepts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgnmrwrw Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Oh man, I had a guy in my suite my freshman year in college who LOVED the XFL. He valiantly stood by it 'til the end. One whole season. But I thought they had some real potential design-wise. I like some of the unique color schemes and helmet designs. So I'm looking forward to seeing your stuff.

bigmike Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I think I still have a Birmingham Bolts shirt in my closet somewhere, even though I'm way to big to wear now. I always liked the XFL just because they a team in Birmingham and I won a little mini xfl football, and I always liked the logo. Check out my new NFL 2016 Series!

OrangeBalloonCoast Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 FWIW... I like what you did with the logo and wordmark, and whatever else you come up with has to be better than what they actually used!!... well maybe not the strippers in the hot tub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiseTheBanner Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 Okay, thanks to everyone who gave some input, I really do appreciate it.

RaiseTheBanner Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 #1 Las Vegas OutlawsOkay, it's been a month since I started this, but I have a great excuse for not posting anything. The past month I have been learning a new program Inkscape and I think its great and improves the look of my work a ton. Watching gingerbreadmann's videos and practicing has occupied a good amount of my time and this is my first posted work from Inkscape. On with the concept...Not much to explain here. I have no idea if the monochrome home is okay, and I was pretty lost in deciding how to color the away and alt. so any help is greatly appreciated. I'm going for a more modern and "sleek?" look with these uniforms because I found the XFL uniforms quite bland.In case you were wondering, here are their old unis.Comments, criticism? I will make updates with the feedback I get. Thanks for viewing.Oh by the way, I don't really like this template, but it was the only good one on The SVG Movement, so I used it. If anyone has a better one, please let me know. Thanks. avatar by crkraider22, signature by crkraider22 and chestnutz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9erssteve Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I like it I think the logo is an improvement over what they actually had, but why have you made one side of the V longer than the other? It's kinda throwing my eye off, I feel like I should be looking for a hidden third letter in there and cant find it.I like the uni's as well, and while the slab serif numbers look good on there I hope we'll see you use more exciting fonts on some of the future concepts, because much as I wasn't a fan of all the original XFL uni's they did try and use some more out there or custom fonts for their numbering than the NFL did at that time and I think that perhaps that's a tradition that you should carry on.9erssteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgnmrwrw Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I agree with 9erssteve about the logo. What you've made is a really good monogram, and I think it looks great on the helmet. But the tiny inconsistency between the two sides of the V does need to be fixed. The uniforms design is fine. I'd like to see a different font for the numbers, maybe something with sharp serifs like the logo has. That would help tie everything together, but it's not a desperate need. I am wondering what's up with the single, small serif-like spot on the outline of the leg stripe. It's not used anywhere else in the uniform, and it seems a bit out of place.
