Arena Football League Concepts- Chicago Bruisers, LA Avengers sneak peek added

[LAWeaver]

Here is my version of the Arena Football League:

In my version, the league did not fold after the 2009 season. Instead, multiple AF2 teams moved up to join the and created a 32 team league that has since competed with the NFL popularity-wise and the NBA attendance-wise.

Also, some teams from the league's past have continued to play. Teams such as the Detroit Drive, Milwaukee Mustangs (The original Mustangs), Albany Firebirds (also the original team), and several others, have continued to play.

The teams listed are ones that saw the field more often than others and not particularly based off of success. If you think I should replace a team with one more successful, then do so.

Here is the first draft of the Arizona Rattlers.

So, you go from crayons to Gimp or Paint or Whatever, just like that?

Interesting.

The concept is okay, but why not translate the UFA to to this template?

You are a riddle nascar.

[LAWeaver]

Ya know, GP, I thought about that, but the logos I have for my UFA teams on my pc are all ripoffs of current or outdated logos. For instance, the Boston Patriots logo is the NE Patriots logo with a darker blue and brighter red. The Minnesota Tigers logo is an orange version of Mizzou's tiger head. And the Portland Beavers logo is Oregon State's logo. I do have uniforms made for them teams, but I have seen others on here face (not necessarily harsh) Criticism for using logos from real teams. I can almost guarantee that I will be downloading Inkscape or Gimp when I start back to school. In the meantime, it's hand drawn concepts and Paint-edited logos from Mr. Nascar.

[LAWeaver]

The arm part is the Under Armour type shirt while the lighter tan is the person's leg. Also, I have no clue as to what any of the teams wear. I thought of doing a full out 40 team Arena League, so I started with Arizona. I thought their snake in the R was a Good logo to use like Boise State did with their logo.

Needs the teal!

[LAWeaver]

Here's an update with a teal home. Thoughts?

[St Louis Cardinals]

I would add something ot the sleeves, like a number or logo

[LAWeaver]

Here is a Final Update on the Rattlers:



Up Next, the Philadelphia Soul:

[DS729]

The Soul looks fantastic, but I'm not very big on Arizona

[LAWeaver]

Here is a Soul update followed by the Detroit Drive. I created a slightly modernized logo but did not save it. Will post it when I make another.

Drive:

Bump

[jaxon#08]

Detroit will be profection if you take away the numbers on the striping.

[LAWeaver]

Alrighty. Anyone else? Workin on Spokane right now. Will post a Detroit update in the morning along with the shock. From here on out, I will do the current teams followed by the originals (besides Detroit), the 90's, then the 2000's

Pretty "Original" idea you got going here Nascar.

Its working for you, isn't it? It was either that or going by conference.

Spokane Shock:

Thoughts?

[generalshepherd141]

Way better than what Spokane has now. Great work.

[LAWeaver]

Thanks! Next up will be the Iowa Barnstormers. Anyone else?

[LAWeaver]

Iowa Barnstormers:

I almost went with either a black helmet with gold goggles or a helmet with the wings from the primary. Also, I took the plane from the primary logo and put it on the shoulders.

[ThePeam]

That helmet is awesome.
