ADW77 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 So a post in another thread got me thinking... The mothership doesn't have quality WFL logos, and I do. So I will post RGB optimized (thanks to CWx) versions of the WFL logos I do have. I have all the WFL helmet logos (except the Washington Ambassadors), but very few of the logotypes (yet). I also have all helmet graphics for them as well. Here's the first up, the 1975 Shreveport Steamer Next up, 1974 Detroit Wheels Now, 1975 Jacksonville Express Fourth, 1975 Portland Thunder #5, 1975 San Antonio Wings FDCO Fonts NFL Re-Design Project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I don't know why I have such a soft spot for the Detroit Wheels' logo, but man, I love that thing.

Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

logoman Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 This was always my favorite WFL helmet. Just slightly ahead of the Memphis Southmen. This is from my personal collection. George Mira autographed this and a jersey I made at the 30th Anniversary gathering in Birmingham in 2005. He thought the helmet and jersey were his originals until I told him otherwise.

apate93 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I seem to remember seeing the Stars logo using a "C" closer to the one the Chicago Bears use. Was that one ever used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that one ever used?These are the actual helmet logos used.The one with the stars, they cut off the 'wishbone' part of the C along with shortening the ends to fit inside the star so it looks like a 'circle' instead.

By happenstance, the team officially became "Charlotte" on an away game, in Chicago. For one game, they were the Charlotte Stars.Next week, they were the Charlotte Hornets.

Keep up the awesome work!!!Yes, I most certainly will. I wish I could find a good graphic of the Ambassadors logo, as it's highly detailed and vectorizing it would be a long process. I have yet to find anything really acceptable that will help me. FDCO Fonts NFL Re-Design Project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By happenstance, the team officially became "Charlotte" on an away game, in Chicago. For one game, they were the Charlotte Stars.Next week, they were the Charlotte Hornets.Indeed. A very interesting (albeit rare and expensive - $65 on Amazon, no copies on Ebay) look into the WFL and the New York/Charlotte Stars/Hornets can be found in "While the Gettin's Good" by Herb Gluck. I'm pretty sure that picture is from the book. I always wondered about the finer details of that one-game logo - I doubt that the inside of the C in the Bears' logo was filled in like that... did they cut the points off the stars? Or put a piece of black tape over the NY before putting the C over it? Did the Bears give them permission to use extra helmet stickers... if so, why would they?
