FUNKAFIED Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Oklahoma and Alabama are college football states primarily, and I think it would be tough for the NFL to expand there. I have friends in Oklahoma and that state is overflowing with Dallas Cowboys fans. It would be tough to get a fan base on board with a new home team I tnink. It's the same reason there is no big yank for the NFL to expand to Los Angeles. USC is the "pro team" there.If there was any case to be made for a "2nd Division" NFL minor-league structure, it's Birmingham and OKC. I don't think they could support an NFL franchise, but they would be good candidates for a AAA-type level of pro football.Sorry to threadjack. Of the suggestions so far, Oklahoma Outlaws is the most NFL-ready name. Stormchasers, Barnstormers, etc. all sound minor league. Renegades would be ok too. A Cowboys vs. Renegades rivalry would sell on TV pretty well I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwmoore Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Birmingham has had four pro football teams that I can remember and did well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidrpaige Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Outlaws is a fine name, the only problem is that it has association with losing (aka a defunct league that didn't do very well at all). I'm more partial to resurrecting an old NFL identity and making for Oklahoma: Oklahoma Oilers. It would piss off the fans in Houston big time and you'd have that Cowboys vs Oilers games again.

High school football is big here, of course college football with OU, OSU, and some fans of TU (and outright hatred for the Texas Longhorns). We would LOVE a NFL team here. People here are a mix of Dallas Cowboys fans, Denver Broncos, St. Louis Rams, Kansas City Chiefs, and Houston Texans fans, the surrounding area teams. This state is nuts about the OKC Thunder and I used to think no one here even liked basketball. So I couldn't imagine how much pandemonium would be going on if we got a NFL team. I'm one of the few Patriots fans and hardcore basketball fans here because I'm originally from the East Coast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidrpaige Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 This is a quick and dirty design I had done a while ago, but never published. This is quick and dirty because I can't find the original design documents. When I find them, and probably do a bit of updating, I'll post them.Basically the main colors are a light brown (or tan if you prefer), black and sooner red.The picture represents the home uniform. I don't normally do NFL concepts, so mine probably sucks when it comes to the striping and such that most of the NFL concept guys here go into great detail about.

HorrorFreaKev Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I have often thought a cool name would be the Foxes. Has anyone seen a cool fierce looking fox logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUNKAFIED Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 That Oilers concept looks sharp, though I don't like the pants stripe. Neat idea though. What about trying the old Houston oil derrick logo, black trimmed in red on the helmet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just got a MLS team (though i'm not a soccer fan) but with Tampa and Jax not being big stadium fillers maybe one could move to LA paving the way for an Orlando team..

davidrpaige Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Well, I never found the "original" artwork I had created for the OK Oilers, but I had some notes and a few memory flashbacks and I was able to recreate the set. More or less.Like I said, I'm not much of a NFL concept guy, so a lot of my detailing is subpar compared to some of the other guys on the forum doing NFL concepts. But that is ok as I saw, in my mind's eye, that the OK Oilers would be a no frills kind of team. Hard working, in your face, nothing fancy kind of bruisers. Simple palette, earth tone (dirt and oil) colors, and down to business style. "Let the fancy pants in Dallas polish their silver helmets, here in OK we work for a living" was kinda my mantra when I first designed the OK Oilers.So, take it as you will. C&Cs are always appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
