Jimmyfru 2 Posted August 3, 2014 Hello everyone,With the recent rumor of the Oakland Raiders talking about moving to San Antonio, a hot topic is what would happen to the branding if the raiders left California. I know there are many people who are crazy fans of the Silver and Black and to even consider changing the logo is outrageous. But as a creative exercise, I wanted to try and keep the spirit of the Raiders, but give it a look for a potential move to San Antonio. Let me know what you guys think, all comments and feedback are welcome! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigRed618 780 Posted August 3, 2014 That hat looks too small for his head. Better stick with the helmet. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrWonka 329 Posted August 3, 2014 That hat looks too small for his head. Better stick with the helmet.Meh, but what is that though? then he's just tweaking the face. For a concept I like this idea with the hat. Definitely fits the San Antonio idea I have, especially with the Spurs in town. Maybe making the hat bigger like suggested. Also what if the head and swords were bigger and leaked out of the shield? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkpiranha 581 Posted August 3, 2014 Looks pretty cool. Agree with the bigger hat suggestions. Also, are those the sorts of swords used by Alamo-era combatants? Maybe tweak the swords to look more like sabers of the era. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReRocky4228 3 Posted August 4, 2014 By adding a neck to the face it kind of looks like the swords just decapitated the poor cowboy. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DNAsports 5,446 Posted August 4, 2014 If the Raiders do move to San Antonio (high unlikely) I doubt they would change their logo. What they have now should go untouched. They are one of the few teams who should not have major changes. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously you know that but I feel like people know when there are untouchable logos and uniforms but it's fun to try and remake them in your own style. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mamiller99 107 Posted August 4, 2014 If you are doing it in San Antonio, why not change the cutlasses to six-shooters? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philsphan 13 Posted August 4, 2014 I would make the whole face and hat bigger. It seems just a little too small. Also, seconding getting rid of the skull. Otherwise, this is a really fun concept! And refreshing for a franchise that hasn't had a winning season in a decade. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jdp 82 Posted August 4, 2014 Remove the neck. It does remind me of a decapitated cowboy, as rocky mentioned.Also, get a different head. To be perfectly honest, All I'm seeing is Davidson's work, and it's bothering me.I do like the swords and Texas secondary, though. Maybe move the state outline behind the swords? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmyfru 2 Posted August 4, 2014 Hey Guys,Thanks for all the great feedback, I will take it and try to refine it. To be clear, I did do this exercise with the help of Davidson's tutorial: Im new to the forum stuff, but I will make sure I make everything clearer in the future.Thanks Guys! Hopefully will have some refined stuff up tonight! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdp 82 Posted August 4, 2014 Fair enough. Thanks for the clarification. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ToyFrisbee 26 Posted August 4, 2014 Love the concept. For lack of a better way to describe it, you could "Alamo-scallop" the shield as well...but that might make it too over-the-top "San Antonio." The black and silver is a great fit (with the Spurs identity). Nice job. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asian_Vegan12 0 Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) I like it, it's nice and neat and it really brings back good fond memories of the '90's! Edited August 4, 2014 by Asian_Vegan12 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XSsoCX 0 Posted August 4, 2014 I really like the Texas state over the swords logo. That is really sweet. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
