Armor is Pride?

This is the winner, a Springfield Armor inspired shirt.

Altered of course, it was even altered further by the higher ups.

Pride Still not Patriots

This came from an alternate used by New England.

This one at least took up some more space.

-Ricky

Pride of Lions Alright

Instead of the liver bird, I stuck an old fashioned Detroit Lion in the logo.

Better, but not worth it apparently.

-Ricky

Pride not Talons

This Falcons style features a claw instead.

A little more reserved, but still not quite there.

-Ricky

Pride not Red Sox

This Red Sox idea also spawned from the previously issued Boston Bruins and Celtics themed shirts.

It would've been a novel idea to do more with this one.

-Ricky

Pride not Patriots

This one was a Patriots inspired shirt that didn't see the light of day.

This one may have been too bland.

-Ricky

Pride not Liver Brids

Here you have a Liverpool FC inspired shirt having been recently bought by the Red Sox ownership group.

This one went to the wayside like the rest.

-Ricky

Pride not Falcons

This was one of two Springfield Falcons themed shirts.

It was also voided.

Springfield Intramural Shirts

Today begins what I started for this semester in December. It is for my boss to give to our intramural champions in each sport. Only one of the next several day's designs would be chosen and will be displayed last.

This was a popular suggestion - camouflage. I liked the idea, even though paintball club used it for themselves (I think). All in all, this wasn't selected.

Third Look at the Brisbane Demons

Brisbane (for now) finally found the look they are going for. Upon the start of the 2006 campaign, two years removed from their second of two flags and three out of the last four Grand Finals,  Brisbane saw themselves as heirs to the premiership only to lose in the Grand Final.

   

The only dramatic changes to the jumpers focus on the removal of the old logo due to replacement. still not quite the same as the last set.

Second Look at the Brisbane Demons

The Dees have not been doing well since their merger and as a result wanted to change their image. The below was the result.

   

The "wide v" has been replaced with a single "narrow v" in accordance with the logo change.

The Swans Return to Albert Park Lake

This one was a pretty sensible concept whit the merger of St. Kilda and Sydney. South Melbourne's faithful will now unite with St. Kilda as their teams compete as one. Sydney then St. Kilda respectively, had won the last two premierships prior to their merger for 1998.

   

Simple, but understandable. The "Y cross" as it will become known, wouldn't see similar success until 2009, where they became minor premiers and won the flag to accomplish the double. They would also be grand finalists in 2014, losing to Geelong.

From Rags to Richmond

That's the story with Essendon whore were good but financially unstable, whilst Tigers were wealthy but not very good. When Richmond and the Bombers merged, it would create a superpower and not the one anticipated with the proposed merger between the West Coast and Hawthorn going under. Two years following the merger would signify a dynasty for the ages with the club winning both the major and minor premierships in 1999, 2000, and 2001.

   

The bottom of the three is intended as a clash, that way the home is never worn for road games and likewise for the converse.

-Ricky

First Look at the Brisbane Demons

So Brisbane would go on to have identity crises following their merge with Melbourne. The following only lasts five seasons starting in 1994. There would be two changes before the branding becomes a mainstay.

   

The "wide v" featured in the Brisbane Bears final crest is featured on the jumper instead of the trademark Melbourne (filled) "wide v" but based predominantly on Melbourne's colors.

The Road from Footscray to Fitzroy

So the Bulldogs need a clash jumper from their move to Fitzroy. All in all, their jumpers won't change more than once until their move to Canberra in 2009.

You'll notice the gold stripe is no longer outlined by white and the red and blue swap places. The socks change to accommodate the jersey.

-Ricky

Clashing in Carlton

I decided recently that the AFL merger concepts were missing something, at least the ones that I used for the timeline. I realized the teams each need clash jumpers, that in turn will also mean older clubs may update their image, so we will change along with it and re-brand their look. we'll start with Carlton and work our way from there over the next little while.

Here is the clash for the original logo when the team merged. We will be coming back to the Carltion Kangaroos as other teams get unveiled.

What's in a Soft Drink Name?

I really got nothing for you. I just wanted something different to put up so I had something to share with you.

Have fun with this. Really.

Project Runway: Landrov Air

So I started my own airline through a Facebook application called Airline Manager. It is completely fictional, but I anticipate to have fun with it. This is our look.

It was worth a shot. I need something new to design over my spring break, let is start with this. My vacation is winding up though.
