BrandMooreArt Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 great stuf from one of my design heroes at the Sports Design blog"Also, it may surprise many that for each team I designed I only worked directly with the NFL creative department in New York. I never presented to or even met any of the team owners or management. I’m sure most of them would be surprised to learn that I had designed their team logos."http://www.thesportsdesignblog.com/2011/07/08/interview-with-nfl-designer-mark-verlander/ GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Interesting. So NFL creative would sub-contract out the design work and present it to the teams? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Interesting. So NFL creative would sub-contract out the design work and present it to the teams?That's how it sounds. I certainly didn't take it to mean that the NFL decides on these things and just hands them out to the teams. I'm guessing that the teams "hire" NFL creative and work with them just like any business would work with any designer that they hire.

Mings Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 That also explains the similar directions that some of the logo rebrands took from 2000 or so until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing's for certain, and that is the team and the league have to brief the designers before the work begins, and they both have to sign off on everything before it's official. When an outside firm designs the uniforms, they would have to work closely with the outfitter to make sure the design is achievable, given the certain limitations of apparel design.
