Can somebody drop the link to the google drive with the AltFL logos? I can only seem to access the AltHL ones.

Chicago Cyclones: While I will note the color scheme isn't too far off from what the Arizona Scorpions' is, I absolutely agree with this logo winning out.  Nothing against the other one by any means (one of these days, the Chicago city flag colors will win out in one of these leagues, the AltHL's losing Ghost design had this color scheme too), but this was a great logo for the team.  With the right uniform, this team could be the one that goes from the bottom of my wish list to near the top!

Kansas City Scarecrows: Not gonna lie, this is a good logo.  But I was completely convinced that Option D, (I think? The one with the scarecrow in front of the moon) was going to crush this.  In a way, I'm glad this one won instead, as it'll be easier to fit into a uniform, I feel.  That other one, as absolutely glorious as it was (seriously, to whoever designed it, it's actually my all-time favorite Alt League submission!) would've been harder to work with, (plus have an identical color scheme almost to the Sabecats).  I will say that I hope brown is utilized in this jersey.  Again, a little worried that the color scheme could run close to the Dallas Bandits otherwise.  Great logo anyway!

Kentucky Stallions: All 3 of the submissions I enjoyed a lot!  I went with the blue and green one, but I also loved the simplicity of the red and white one.  The purple and old gold will be an interesting combo for creators to work with, I bet!

Milwaukee Mallards: This team had a ton of awesome choices!  Not one of them wouldn't been a bad choice, but I'll admit, this one just looks the most like something a professional football team would wear.  With us already having 2 green and yellow teams, plus 1 navy and yellow team, I'm very interesting to see how we can make this team stand out.  I'm confident we'll find a way!  

Minnesota Voyageurs: I think out of all of our winners, this one is my personal favorite one!  It's such a classic design that also is pretty clever (the V of Voyageurs being hidden in the M of Minnesota).  Awesome color scheme too! I haven't ever submitted jersey designs as I can't...... well, design.  But this team gives me an idea or two if anyone's willing to assist!

St. Louis Explorers:  When the winning logo only has 22.1% of the votes, you know there was some competition.  It was between this and Option A for me.  For all of the somewhat modern color combos and design styles we've seen in the AltFL, the Explorers really feel the most like an old school team that would have been around for decades.  Traditional colors, traditional style of design, I'm not surprised Dr. Pepper made this one, (I recall you being a bit of a traditionalist, right?).  Definitely a fan!

I agree with literally everything you said.  For example Section30's duck is 'smooth' and will look good on a helmet.  I did 'A' with the mallard with the football body.  And while I liked how it turned out it was too minor leaguey compared to the one that one.  St. Louis for everyone was a tight race.  There was no one that was a 'distant' last, if that makes sense.  

For Minnesota I am glad that Section30 and my submissions were pretty similar.  and had an M-V with a  north star.  I will make the 'star' a separate logo for people to use at their discretion for uniforms.

Dan O'Mac's Thoughts on the Central.

Chicago:
B was a good design, and I wanted to like it more because of the "motion lines" on it, the colors, and the stars. But the way the bottom of the cyclone looked was odd looking, and the top reminded me more of a pennant. On A, I liked the hidden "C" in the top of the Cyclone, and the shape of the cyclone was much nicer to me. In the end, I did give A my vote.

Kansas City:
So with this one, i started by ruling out C. The hat doesn't look like it is on the scarecrow's head, it looks like it's a hat behind the head. B was ruled out second. Although I liked their wordmark the most (specifically because of that "W"), the logo itself just didn't feel right to me. When comparing A and D, it was close. I liked the logo for A, but D just reached out and hooked me. I'm a little concerned about the detail not showing up on the logo on smaller applications, but I found it to be more in line with what I expected and D got the vote for me.

Kentucky:
So with this one, the logo for A was my favorite. I loved the simplicity of the logo and color scheme. I felt that logo makes the strongest statement as a logo. I preferred the other two logo's color schemes, but easily voted A.

Milwaukee:
I think C was ambitious for not being "just a duck", and after looking, I was able to find the "M" in the logo. But my eyes keep seeing only three triangles on a yellow background. When it came to the duck heads, I ruled out D because E was just a stronger head logo. I really wanted to like B, it was a different look, and I liked the colors. A presented the color scheme I expected, and I liked that the body of the duck was a football. And E was just a very good duck head. I ended up ruling out E because there was too much similarity to the Emperors' penguin logo in the shape, and having both bird teams with similar logos was a turn off to me. I gave my vote to B, even though I didn't expect it to win, because I liked that it was different.

Minnesota:
Once again, I end up seeing a burgandy and blue logo I really like. Between the star and oar, the highlighting of the "V" in the "M", this was well done. B had a great outdoors vibe, but felt a bit like it was two tree's riding in a canoe. C was so nice. The diamond/star above the interlocked letters, in a gorgeous blue and green. C was my favorite of the options, and got my vote.

St. Louis:
This was such a good set of logos. I did rule out C because the logo just needed a bit more of an outline to stand out. And I ruled out E because I liked the idea, but the execution didn't work for me. Between A, B, D, and F, I went 100% on which one caught my eye. On that metric, I kept coming back to D. I loved the coonskin hat idea, and the cursive Stl/St Louis was nice. So I gave it my vote.

I'll add them right now.  Thanks for reminding me, I always forget the wordmarks
 

This is BY NO MEANS PERFECT but I wanted to share that I have been working on Jersey Swaps.  I was thinking we could try some jersey swaps for the stars of our teams. My vision is to make 'schedule posters' for the teams. That's how we are going to reveal the schedules. So in the mean time I will continue to work on them.  

This is just me practicing with my fantasy team from college, the Thunderducks.  We are typically a pretty strong team but haven't won it all since year 2 out of 10, whelp. Traded for Lamar just before last year.  Our league is an auction, dynasty league so hopefully I'll be able to keep him for a number of years.
