B'ham has three great jerseys, that will match well with any of the pants options, and two very solid helmet looks. Across the board, this is a great looking team.

I think what's been really nice so far is that all the looks have been good. I assume that will continue, which means that in the end, even if I get a team I "don't like", they still should look very good on the field. When it comes to the draft, I know I don't want to be at the end of the draft to ensure I get one of my favorite looking teams, but I can see picking to early to be a challenge, as it's going to be really hard to actually make a decision on the team I want to pick.

Uh I'll most likely be at the bottom of the owner draft but i don't care who i get

Re: AltFL - Design Thread

I agree they look great so far! Remember that the NORTH uniforms are due on Saturday.  Remember that is Philly, NY, Boston, Carolina, Toronto, Buffalo.  As of now the most popular team is Toronto.  We are a little light on Boston, Philly, Carolina, Buffalo but it is still early. 

By the way we are 98 days away from AltFL Kickoff (assuming everything stays as it is).

Another great looking set for B'Ham! Although I would have preferred a more traditional design for them (imo), I still love their design and how many great looking options they'll have.

Re: AltFL - Design Thread

I knew I had lost immediately when I saw the designs for the Vulcans. All of them were clean and mostly traditional, while mine was a collection of ideas I thought were fun based on aspects of the logo.. mixed with what I now realize was the Buckeyes, I think. I completely missed the aesthetic of this team and city, teaching me that some identities are meant to be modern and some are meant to be traditional before the team even touches the field.. er I mean ummm the ESPN/Yahoo app in this case? I didn't even vote for my own design to give an idea of how off I realized I was! I like the touch of diversity when it comes to our uniforms so far. While we had trouble with designer tendencies being seen in multiple logos that one, I truly believe that all will be a distant worry once each team has everything put together. That's a great look, Section30! I like the font a lot.

Finishing up the SOUTH with the Tennessee Copperheads.  This was a close one as well! This one won with 55% of the vote.  The winning designer was...Section30...again.  A classic look for the Copperheads.  I personally love how the logo wraps around the back of the helmet (Seahawks esque).  I feel like the all copper alternates will be a fan favorite as well.  So get yourself to the AltFL Pro Shop and grab you 'snake skin' today!

"AltFL SOUTH! Assemble!"



Solid group to start with.

Re: AltFL - Design Thread

Perfect blend of dark and colorful for the south. My personal favorite is the Phantoms, because of the unique striping design and textured numbers.

Can’t wait to see what comes up for the North!

Re: AltFL - Design Thread

Thanks, @ThisIsFine and whoever I wasn’t able to respond to as well! I’m especially happy to convert @Stickman into a believer of cream. Also proud to get the stamp of approval from Mr. Texas himself, @Steelman. I was afraid of his thoughts because I know he hates that “yeehaw south” stereotype, but my sprinkle of it got by him! Haha

Copperheads are giving some MAD Arizona Rattlers vibes, and that is highly acceptable. I want to steal that look for the Copper State.

Looking at all of them together, the teal problem I really feared didn’t happen at all. In fact, it seems we were all worried because not one of the teams is primary teal, given that I think Miami’s shade isn’t as much teal at all now that I see it put together. Leaving my own bias out, I think the Copperheads look the best, having a great shade of teal and using it just enough. I’m happy the Vulcans have a dark gray to not overwhelm the league in black, and I’m overwhelmed with joy that Miami was the one to use their tealish/blue color for the primary. It’s the most acceptable on the eyes used that much. That doesn’t change the issue with the blue and pink touching, that causes a whole different problem for my eyes. I like to use the term “bleeding” when the colors look like they mesh with each other in a non flattering way. I find it happening more often when two colors share the same saturation or is close. Or am I off?

Re: AltFL - Design Thread

So the Bandits name left me so "meh", but when I see all 6 uniforms next to each other, THAT'S the one that really stood out to me. So yeah, muddle those waters, make it harder to pick teams!

Re: AltFL - Design Thread

Birmingham Vulcans: I won't lie, I was hoping for one of the red primaries to win, as I liked both of those a lot.  That being said, this winner is a solid uniform all-around!  Never really considered the idea of a dark gray team before, let alone one with 2 shades of gray in it, but the Vulcans look really good here!  I'm not sure why I feel this way, but I get a slight "Dirty Bird" era Atlanta Falcons vibe with this jersey, in a good way.  

Tennessee Copperheads: Leaving behind my issues about the logo and helmet being the exact same color with not enough outlining to separate the two, (which, by the way, would be solved if we use that first, duller copper colored helmet that we see.  That would be a just different enough color to help the copperhead stand out.  The more orangey helmet we see later would not quite work as well in my opinion), I do think this is overall a nice uniform set.  I like how the numbers really pop with the use of the white outlines on the home jersey and the shoulder striping is a great touch.  The very minimal use of teal surprised me, as I totally expected this to be a teal colored team, not black.  That being said, I think the end result looks much better.

Overall, this is a pretty good start to the league!  Can't wait to see what the rest of these look like!
