I'm thinking of updating some of the teams that played in the AAFC. For those that don't remember it was a rival league that played for four years before merging with the NFL. That's where the Browns and 49ers started. The Los Angeles Dons were one of the teams that didn't successfully make the jump to the NFL. Like the Brown's Brownie, the Don's featured a cartoon character in much of their advertising,  There was other, less absurd advertising.   And the full wordmark was featured on one of the programs.  I focused in on the hat and also drew someone to wear the hat. Essentially a Hispanic counterpart to the Raiders and Buccs logo. Testing it out on the helmet the hat seemed to work better than the full logo.  The Dons had a very bright blue uniform with bright red pants and I wanted to use those colors but also do more than copy it.  This is what I came up with.  The hat is meant to have a subtle "D" shape in the brim, although the D used in the actual wordmark is much different. Having the uniform number on the other side is something I hadn't done before and thought it might look nice. I thought about having the Helmet stripe go down the pants but realized that would be a pain to sew in real life. I'm planning on working thru the other defunct teams of the AAFC, specifically the Miami Seahawks, the Chicago Rockets / Hornets, the New York Yankees, the Brooklyn Dodgers (yup, those were football teams) and maybe the Buffalo Bison/Bills and the original Baltimore Colts. What do you think?

I'm working on the Miami Seahawks next. If you look for their logo this is what comes up.  Pretty crappy. Their colors were orange and green which is a headache inducing mix. I did find this, a copy of a program with a better detailed version of their logo.  I drew out a version of the logo in Flexisign, which is like Corel or Illustrator.  And played around with colors.  This is after playing with it a bit more. The logo on the left is meant to be the basis for a helmet logo. It still needs work.  I'm trying to figure out how to use orange and green and not have it look like a parrot. I could use some opinions. Darth Brooks fucked around with this message at 06:40 on Feb 25, 2023 |

I can't offer any opinions because I have the art instincts of a two year old. However since you offered options of what team to do next (once you're finished with this one), I was thinking maybe you'd give the original Baltimore Colts a shot. I really enjoy your work.

The Colts are on the list. For a few teams it's going to be weird. The OG Colts wore green instead of blue but the revision borrowed logos from the earlier version. The Buffalo Bison became the Buffalo Bills a decade before the Buffalo Bills of the AFL. The Brooklyn Dodgers of the AAFC borrowed from the earlier Brooklyn Dodgers of the NFL. There was a New York Yankees and of course the Browns and 49ers kept playing.

Have the Miami Hurricanes ever done anything like a logo with Sebastian the Ibis? Their colors are also orange and green, and I think go back to when the team started in the 20s, so maybe that’s where the AAFC Seahawks got some inspiration.

Any opinion is fine, from "I don't like any of these" to "That one there is OK/better than the rest." It's all something. Anyways here are the Yankees. The football logo is from 1946, which is the same year the baseball and top hat Yankees logo came out.

I'm an art dumb dumb who just likes to smile and clap looking at the pretty pictures you make, but the one opinion I will voice is for me the tongue matching the throat color makes it look like it is supposed to be showing transparency. It reminds me of this diagram showing how a woodpecker's tongue wraps around its skull.  Not sure if I would have made the connection without the zoomed inset at the end of them all, though. My favorite is the brown and white in the bottom right, which is sad because it isn't in the team colors, but you're right about orange and green being tough to see as anything but a parrot. Also agree with Febreeze about the pinstripes.

seahawks: not sure i would stay married to the turning of all that shading from the original 'detailed' logo into 3 distinct and fully separate colors like that. i can see the 3 technical shades in the original and how that carries over, but it doesn't necessarily feel like a direct translation that is a good idea to split very different colors between. that said i don't understand art things like you do at all so it might be the best or only thing to do. and i sure don't have any better idea. maybe a green bird with the muted orange color for detail flourishes/accents and then the regular orange could be strictly for the beak + football. or keep plugging away til it looks right. dunno

I'm still playing with it. I might try an orange based color palette. Rick Ruben was talking about producing music and how to shake it up and break out of a block. Play it faster, play it slower. Add elements, take away elements, rearrange parts. You try different things and then suddenly something hits. The design seems close to that point.

Debating between a couple different approaches on the Seahawks. An evil chicken or a bronze gold bird. I like the basic layout of the helmet logo. The edges and size of the "tail" seem to work out better than anything else I've tried and it's got a subtle "M" with the edges. I don't think either of these is the finished version. I found an online collection of very old football programs. http://hapmoran.org/Programs.html It goes from 1921 to 1946 and there are some hidden gems in there,  I went thru it looking for the first version of this, the "official" logo of the Providence Steam Roller.  With all the searching I've done I still have no idea where it came from. It seems to be a copy of something. I didn't see the original in the programs. I did find this in a 1928 program;  I think it's a better layout than the drawing I did, so I will probably do something based on it.

 I went back and forth on the colors and was ready to go with a green seahawk when I looked at the unis for the Dolphins and The U. Miami has enough orange and (shade of) green unis, although the irony is that the Seahawks were probably first. For the sleeves I drew a little inspiration from this guy.

The originals were laid out like this:  Which makes for some eye bleeding combinations on the road jerseys. I like the helmet on the second one. It looks like a piece of candy masquerading as a football helmet. I know I've been the road jersey color for the home pants but I don't like the orange pants and may make them white with a different stripe like the first one (and like the originals). I love the detailed drawing of the osprey but it doesn't work with variations of a single color. EDIT: Like this  Next up is the Chicago Rockets. Their logo looked like this:  The AAFC seemed to have a thing for cartoony logos. This is the logo I've come up with:  Darth Brooks fucked around with this message at 08:09 on Mar 10, 2023 |

I actually love the orange-red and radioactive green color scheme in the abstract. But something about it screams TACO BELL to me and ruins the effect. The poor guys look like human Fire sauce packets paired up with a refreshing Baja Blast. This is not your fault at all, my stupid brain just can't unsee it. The two tone bird looks better than the three tone I think. Especially the full body bird (vs just the head), it looks incredible.
