LEFT 4 DEAD IS A LOT LIKE FOOTBALL - I JERK OFF TO BOTH

Pontius Pilate posted:

Same, in appreciation and boredom, so here’s the official Blind Pineapple hierarchy of divisions:

AFC West: 89, B+
AFC North: 89, B+
AFC South: 74.75, C
AFC East: 74.75, C

NFC West: 90.25, A-
NFC North: 88, B+
NFC South: 77.25, C+ (barely)
NFC East: 76, C

In order:
NFCW
AFCW/AFCN
NFCN
NFCS
NFCE
AFCS/AFCE

A+ got a 100 because it should and f got a 59 so the pats wouldn’t tank their whole division. Otherwise it was b+/c+/d+ got 88/78/68, a/b/c/d 95/85/etc, and b- got 81 and y’all can figure it out from there.

I appreciate the parity in the AFC. And this looks about right to me. Maybe this pineapple sees more than we think

AFC West is clearly the best overall division as the only one with 3 A scores. Denver is of course loving things up and is reason #2,794 why the Broncos are horrible and should be contracted by the league.

Realized the other night that this is why I can't bring myself to think of them as anything other than the WFT. Never mind how generic and uninspired the name "Commanders" is, they still just slap a "W" on the helmet and call it a day. There's no logo or mascot representing the name and if they can't be bothered to to go all-in on their stupid title then why should anyone? What even is a "Commander" in this instance? A "Commander" of what?

I guess I get keeping the "W" though, they have a hard enough time finding those.

they're so half-assed that their W logo doesn't even have transparency on most websites

Perfect microcosm of a tepid, lovely franchise. Just the most anodyne, uninspiring poo poo imaginable.

I grew up a Washington fan via family and have grown to hate them more than the Cowboys.

Commanders? :jerkbag:

Obviously better than the racist thing, but loving yikes what a poo poo name.

That name isn’t going to last. It is but the last of the innumerable indignities that Dan Snyder inflicted on a fanbase that used to be loud and loyal.

I don’t know what the future may hold but at least it won’t involve Dan Snyder..

I’m happy that Washington managed to shake free of that rear end in a top hat but he so badly poisoned the well for me that I can’t go back.

Outside of memories of watching the hogs road-grade for Riggins and Byner from my grandpas lap, there is no goodwill left.

Maybe I’ll “heal” by adopting another team eventually but I’ve got nearly two decades of pure NFL apathy under my belt.

I got asked to do a bunch of concepts that I've thought about posting here or digging up the Farthouse and posting there. One of them was the Boston Redskins / Boston Braves that' seems relevant to this discussion. It was based on both the helmet from the 60's and the letterhead design they used back when the team was still in Boston.

I would love to see more of your mock-ups. Although any new work I hope would be less… uh associated with non-slur team names.

Do you have any other burgundy / yellow color scheme mock-ups?

Just keep looking at what we're doing, keep watering and ask yourselves first and know 'Are you watering? And are you fertilizing every day?' So when it's time to pop, it'll pop.

Honestly, Washington could have avoided a whole lot of nonsense by just going with the 60's helmets and calling themselves the Arrows or something

There were a couple of people who saw what I had done with the defunct NFL teams and had requests for something similar they could use for their fantasy football leagues. I got quit a list. Pottsville Maroons, Rock Island Independents, Muncie Flyers, Duluth Eskimos, Racine Legion, Oorang Indians, Milwaukee Badgers, Hammond Pros, Newark Tornadoes, Miami Seahawks, Los Angeles Dons, Frankford Yellowjackets, New York Bulldogs, New York(Tonawanda) Kardex, Portsmouth Spartans, Los Angeles Dons, Decatur Staleys, Portsmouth Spartans and New York Yankees (football) were all ones I had done some stuff before. Some were real NFL teams in the same format, Houston Oilers, St. Louis Rams, Arizona Cardinals and Washington Redskins. That left Chicago Cardinals, Boston Redskins, Memphis Hound Dogs, Hartford Blues, Brooklyn Lions, Evansville Crimson Giants, Detroit Wolverines, Boston Bulldogs, Chicago Tigers, Detroit Panthers, Washington Senators and Cleveland Rams as new designs.

I did get paid for this.

One of the teams I used as a stealth concept for the local high school team. The high school uses a clip art tiger and I've wanted to replace it for a long time. The current helmet decal is a simple "C". The Chicago (and Carthage) Tigers is a rework of something I was going to use for the Brooklyn Tigers but abandoned.



Here are the NFL Variants, Cleveland Rams, Chicago Cardinals, Boston Redskins (although I prefer Boston Braves), Portsmouth Spartans and Decatur Staleys.



Two of the teams came from the AAFC, the league from the 40's where the Cleveland Browns and San Fransisco 49er's got started. The Miami Seahawks, Los Angeles Dons and New York Yankees.


New designs were Detroit Badgers (the design I like the least out of all of these), Washington Senators, Evansville Crimson Giants, Brooklyn Lions, Boston Bulldogs, Hartford Blues, Detroit Panthers and Memphis Hound Dogs, a potenial NFL expansion team that never got going.


By the time I got to the Bulldogs I was getting tired of drawing animals and just made the logo the initials. I will say that just making helmets made things easier this time.

A) Hell yeah, go Evansville, but B) Even though it's "crimson," that's a brown that I think would look a lot better than the more yellowish browns we usually get. Like, that might be the difference-maker, add some red to those browns, make it look better.

The Steelers bumblebee uniforms are a great idea completely ruined by tan pants, the color rush blacked out look with yellow block letters and shoulder stripes is top tier though

Dolphins A-, A+ if they put the helmet back on the dolphin

Anything the Seahawks do is A- at least, highlighter uniforms are A+

Buccs Creamsicles are A

Browns color rush from a few years ago were pretty good, B+

I used to post a lot on the sportslogo.net forum but it's gotten to the point were 90% of the posts are "Here's the logo from a basketball team but on a football uniform" or "Here is my Green Bay Packers concept" (looks exactly like the current Packers uniform) "I balanced the colors and unified the stripes."

This is lovely. One minor suggestion - that color (with the slight brown undertone) maybe looks more maroon than burgundy. Burgundy has a slightly more purple undertone.

I admit that is some serious nit-picking by me, and my vision may be just off a little bit.

Broncos: Fell into the navy trap of the late 90s and still haven't gotten out. They've tried to use orange jerseys more since the Manning days, but it's probably the worst shade of orange in pro sports. D


The Broncos need to go back to their old orange and blue colors. They were brighter and popped more than this muddy orange and navy combo. The helmet logo needs a "D" in it again, but the old horse on it was like a bad cartoon. I didn't hate the "Snowcapped" look, and the white bronco logo looked better on a white helmet.

But I forgive it all every time I think about the tiny Dymo tape label on the back of each player's helmet (which is also probably a slightly different blue than the other stuff).
