Hey everyone! Hope everyone has a great weekend.  Uniforms for the SOUTH are going to be due on Saturday night.  As of right now, Dallas and Miami have unopposed entries and Orlando has NONE.  I'll end up putting some entries in if we need some.  Looking forward to seeing what you all have in mind! 

The AltFL SOUTH uniform poll! 

I have to say I am impressed with the submissions.  I also wanted to shout out everyone who worked on Orlando after I sent out the last post.  Everyone stepped up and we ended up with more Orlando submissions than everyone else! Anyway, the poll will be open for the next day or so (since everyone votes really quickly these days).  I will then reveal the teams two at a time moving forward.  Should be an exciting week.  AltFL NORTH submissions due WEDNESDAY.   

Remember that the uniforms are designed so that the owner can mix and match as they see fit.  So judge the uniform set as a whole and not necessarily the combination that is presented.

I'll save my team by team analysis for tomorrow, as usual.  However, I have to say this now as we are still designing team uniforms.  I'd personally suggest is to keep the main color of the team's logo in mind when we are designing the helmets. 

I've seen a few of these Alt South Division teams where the helmet and logo are the same color.  This causes the logo to get somewhat lost in the helmet, (for example, both of the Copperhead options have copper helmets.  Since the copperhead logo is also copper, that logo blends in with the helmet, especially if you are looking at it from a smaller screen).  For reference, I'd suggest checking out the NFL team's helmets compared to the logos they use on the helmets.  The logo on the helmet is almost always a different color than the helmet's color, which helps the logo stand out more.  

EDIT: Since I forgot to bring this up earlier, outlines should be considered too in this argument.   In Gritty's Thunderducks design above this post, the helmet is yellow, as is the duck.  However, because it's in a navy circle with a white and a second navy outline surrounding that, obviously that's less of a problem that the helmet and logo are the same color.  Just saying that part now because it'll probably be brought up otherwise.

Again, just saying this now as we are still in the design phase of these uniforms and this could help make what already are great uniforms even better!  Contrary to what I just said, I do really like these a lot!

Option D is my favorite for Orlando because it reminds me of the Frankfurt Galaxy.

As I look at all of these I wonder what the logo designer thinks of how people spun their look. Was it expected? Surprising? (In a bad or good way). Is there any you look at and go “yes that fits perfectly with what I made”.
