dado Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hello everyone. My name is Danijel and I'm from Croatia.First of all, I would like to apologize for any grammar mistakes, English is not my native languange so bare with me. Today I will be starting my fictional Croatian League of American Football - CLAF.The league will feature 20 teams divided into 2 conferences (Adriatic and Continental).American Football is not very popular in Croatia but there are a handfull of teams to choose from.I feel that the sport is growing, especially in the last 5 - 6 years.That being said, my league will feature both real and fictional teams. I will point out which are real by the letter R next to their team name in the teams list.So, lets get to work.First, the logo of the Croatian League of American Football. Team list Adriatic Conference Continental Conference Dubrovnik LIBERTY Bjelovar GREENHORNS - R Gospić SILVERWOLVES Đakovo STALLIONS Krk ISLANDERS Koprivnica ROOSTERS Pula GLADIATORS Osijek CANNONS - R Rijeka ARMADA Požega JAILBIRDS Sinj ALKARS Velika Gorica BUFFALOES - R Split HAJDUK Zagreb BULLDOGS Split SEAWOLVES - R Zagreb PATRIOTS - R Šibenik SHARKS Zagreb THUNDER - R Zadar CRUSADERS Zaprešić SAINTS - R You are welcome to comment, criticize and give suggestions.PS If there are any Croats on the forum I would like to hear your thoughts.

ujju2 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 3 teams in Zagreb and only one in Dubrovnik? I'd move one of the Zagreb teams to Dubrovnik. Also, any chance of a Plitvice Lakes team? No, I'm not Croatian, if you're wondering.Like, say... Dubrovnik Dinamo? Or Dinamo Dubrovnik sounds better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, any chance of a Plitvice Lakes team? No, I'm not Croatian, if you're wondering.Like, say... Dubrovnik Dinamo? Or Dinamo Dubrovnik sounds better.Most of the american football teams in Croatia are from Zagreb and Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split are the 2 most popular soccer teams in Croatia so I wanted to incorporate them into this concept. Dubrovnik Liberty is an appropriate name, I will explain when I present the team.Since you know Dubrovnik and Plitvice Lakes I asume you visited Croatia? I hope you had a good time.Thank you for your feedback, who knows, maybe we will see a special apperance by Plitvica Lakes in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodshackzac Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 You should change it to "Dubrovnik Dynamo" instead of "Dubrovnik Dinamo". FC BAYERN MUNCHEN-MICHIGAN STATE-THE DETROIT FOUR-WASHINGTON REDSKINS-LA LAKERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeauxColonels Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Bjelovar GREENHORNS The Bjelovar GREENHORNS were founded in 2008.Their colours are green and yellow, but for this concept I went with the green and white. Great start. I'm looking forward to the rest of this. I always find it interesting to see a unique perspective on American football.As far as the concept, I like the logo. I don't care for the font used in the wordmark or the gradient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the logo, but that wordmark is really cartoonish. Looking forward to this project, I love seeing international leagues on the concepts board, whether they're real or fictional.

Soarindude Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Great start to an interesting concept. I agree with above though, that's a wacky looking wordmark. While I think it works on the endzones, it really just kills the uniforms. Can't wait to see more from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darkpiranha Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 One more vote for fantastic logo, but wordmark needs new font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dado Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Do you play american football for a team in Croatia?No, I don't. In fact, I have never seen a game of American Football in person, just on TV and internet. I just like looking at other people's concepts and I thought it would be fun to try and make one myself.Thank you for the feedback, I will definitely change the font on the wordmark.In the meantime, just for comparison: EDIT: I think I'm nearly there.
