TOKYO SAMURAI (OVERALL: 7.2/10)
LOGO: 6.9/10 - I like the logo overall, but there are some features that seem a little off. The nostril hole on the left comes up too high for the angle that the head is at. I think the viewer would see less considering the head is tilted down. Speaking of the head tilt, the helmet looks a little odd fitting due to it not matching the slight angle of the head. Another thing I noticed is that the facial features look somewhat flat on the face. The mouth is slapped on and the nose, while showing detail, doesn’t seem to come off the face. I think filling some of the negative space and adding more detail could really help bring this logo across the finish line. Let me know if you want to see what I mean. I know it can be easier to communicate through visuals. Overall, a solid start.

UNIFORM: 7.5/10 - The helmet design looks great. A solid, modern spin on the classic winged design approach. An unnecessary change, but I would like to see player numbers replace the T on the forehead. The T looks weak compared to the rest of the helmet features, and I think numbers would help fans being introduced to a foreign sport identify players. When it comes to the uniform itself, I’d personally like to see navy utilized more throughout. The home has great balance, but I am not in love with the road set. I think it would also be worth trying metallic gold in place of flat gold.


FUKUOKA SHARKS (OVERALL: 7.75/10)
LOGO: 7.5/10 - The logo is simple, but effective. I like how the colors interact and think that the slight gradient helps add to an otherwise straightforward visual. I would like to see more done with the water area (ripples/tears) to create motion and a more visually engaging  experience for the viewer.

UNIFORM: 7.8/10 – At first glance, the uniforms are stellar, but the more I look at them the more I question the need for that many sharks on one player. Out of the six fins, I think the two on

Did Calgary’s identity ever get figured out?

Now, we get our last and greatest test of the trip, and it comes in a rematch against Oakland, who are one of the few teams to beat us next year.

Idk how it will turn out for us this week but I am excited to know we will at least have one win against a good team next season.
