When I think of Osaka, I think of skyscrapers, neon lights, and the future. When I visited, it felt the most "city-like" of any place I had been, even more than Tokyo. To that end, I knew I wanted a space-themed team in the NAFL and I decided to combine that with Osaka's forward-thinking mentality to create the Galaxy. Inspired by NFL Europe's
Frankfurt Galaxy and the AltFL's
Orlando Galactics, the logo is an O combined with a galaxy shape and a star in the middle. I wanted to use a purple and orange color scheme, but between Kyoto and Hokkaido, I felt I already had enough purple in the league, so navy blue and orange it was. To differentiate them from Okinawa, Osaka's orange is redder.

The Galaxy's uniforms are defined by the unique "galaxy stripe", a simple navy blue stripe outlined in orange filled with stars. Most of the stars are circular, but some are pointed like the one in the logo. The helmet, jersey, and pants all have slightly different patterns of stars - I don't think player-specific patterns would be feasible but some variety is important. Despite the navy helmet, orange is the primary color. I can easily imagine the team going orange jerseys and pants for an important game. White jerseys and pants would also look good, I think.
And that's team number 12! Thanks to everyone that followed along and gave feedback. I've gotten some excellent notes and I'm excited to make some changes and come back with improvements. I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays and Happy New Year!
