JH42XCC Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I got a better idea: Maybe replace the Statue of Liberty with another iconic New York City landmark, the Empire State Building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdougfresh Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I like the name and the logo. Using the name "Empire" doesnt sound like a football name at all. Since emperors run an empire, I dont see how "empire" would be any more approporate since they are related to the exact same idea. I like this identity, but the spikes within the wordmark seem unecessary. Also, to make it completey symmetrical, you could add the 7th spike to the crown on our left side (lady liberyy's right) by sneaking it in behind the arm or at least extend the yellow outline.Ever heard of the Empire State?I like the Empire State Building idea. The singular name is not common in sports, really (i.e. Stanford Cardinal, Harvard Crimson, etc.), but I think it lends a more 'majestic' and 'powerful' attitude towards the brand. Could be the fact that prestigious schools do this more often than not, but hell, why not a pro team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be the fact that prestigious schools do this more often than not, but hell, why not a pro team?aaah yea. I said the two names are related to the exact same idea. That implied idea of NY being the Empire State. Anyone who cant figure out that the name Emperors is directly related to NY being the Empire State isnt too bright to begin with, so why should he have to change it to Empire? It's already obvious where the name comes from. Anyway, singular names are becoming more common with new teams in lesser leagues and even a few in the NBA. But have you ever noticed that no NFL team has a singular name? Of course, he can do what he wants, It's his league, but "Empire" sounds like an arena football team.Having the Empire State building is a good idea if you feel like going through with it.

CJworks Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 Thanks for the feedback guys.I don't think I'm going to change the name, its something so minor that it doesn't seem to bother me too much (sort of like the Redskins political correct-ness issues, or the NY Jets signicance to 9-11). So I'm going to let it fly, but I'm going to rework some of the logos, and maybe try out this Empire State Building idea. I'll add a seventh spike on lady liberty and play with some colors for a bit.

CJworks Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Well, I went for the landmark-swap with the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. Everything else is pretty much the same, but I cleaned up the burning torch a bit. Everything is updated in the original post.San Antonio should be up in a few days, just have to finalize some sketches.

GeoTheo Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I really like the Emperors update, makes a lot more sense to use the Empire State Building that Lady Liberty. I like the name, it works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shizznick Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I agree. Nice update, great looking concept. realclearpolitics.com "Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria.

MC2 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Amazing. I don't like the number font, i think you should have gone with varsity block. Any chance you could post the original Statue of Liberty logo because I missed it and I would like to see it. Fast. Hard. Finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaha32 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 The Empire State Building looks great, especially the way the sun lights up the logo behind it. I hope you dont scrap the Statue of Liberty logo all together thouugh. It could still be used as a secondary logo of sorts. I am looking forward to San Antonio.

skier14 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I love the logo update. I think something was a little bit off with the statue of liberty, but the empire state building looks great.On the uniforms, I think the sock stripe on the away should be purple. All of the other stripes on white are purple, so it would fix the inconsistencies.Great update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oaklandhusker Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Haven't posted in this thread for a while, but your work is amazing, and has improved. I look forward to the rest of this league, as well as a continuation of the baseball league thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkg74 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 The primary reminds me of the old New York Sentinels(UFL)logo, the prior primary reminded me of one of those NY area hockey teams' logo(Rangers?). Good and inventive color scheme however, like all of your prior stuff. Can't wait to see the rest of the league... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
