Hey, getting back on topic, wasn’t there a uniform unveil planned for today?
Yep working on it. Running a little behind today.

Re: AltFL - Design Thread
I think I lost it in the shuffle of the chatter-- when are the central uniforms due?

Re: AltFL - Design Thread
Sorry for the delay. As you will see, this entry was the most complex set yet - ironically coming off of our simple San Diego design. This set has cool dinosaur scaled numbers, raptor claw marks, and raptor eyes. This set was done by Scratch and won with 24% of the vote. Each of the entries gained multiple votes and the pie chart essentially looked like a trivial pursuit piece. Also pardon the Jurassic Park quotes..I couldn't help myself. Tomorrow I will try to do LA and Portland.
Make sure you get your CENTRAL uniforms in, it is the last one! I'll close things up by Saturday Night.

Re: AltFL - Design Thread
Oh no, I am so sorry Gritty! This looks sharp. I think in my mind I had the idea of the scales having a lower opacity, but that is probably a pain in the ass and it still looks really good. Love that you gave a clean look at the shape of Utah that is hidden in the pants stripe. What do Disneyland and Gritty have in common? They are money sucking corporations! JK!! They both make dreams come true with their work! haha thanks again Gritty.

Huh, I never noticed that this design had sublimated scales on the numbers, which, had I known that, may have swayed my vote more. All in all, a great out there design for the AltFL!

Haha no worries. I realized the opacity problem once I submitted it. I'll try tinkering it. I think this is a really solid set!

Re: AltFL - Design Thread
I think this is definitely one of the more interesting designs we've seen yet! It certainly feels like the flashiest uniform set so far, with the scaly numbers, the claw marks on the shoulder, and the very subtle (and very nice touch, I might add) state of Utah on the pant stripe. The best comparison I have to this team to a real life NFL team might be the modern Tennessee Titans. They take their theme to the extreme, with all the bells and whistles in design that they can think of, and are absolutely NOT ashamed of who they are. With them being from Salt Lake City, Utah, (a place that tends to get overlooked compared to other potential sports markets that teams could go to) it somehow feels more appropriate that way. Quirky is the word I'd use here to describe this team, (and their catchphrases of "Six Foot Turkeys" and "Hold On To Your Butts" certainly adds to that).
The only major complaints that I have are that the really awesome "Glarin' Eye" logo isn't the helmet logo for the home and away sets, (the regular logo is great, but the eyeball has that simplicity that I love on football helmets and it has an intimidating factor that would have been nice for the helmets. Yes, I know it's on the alternate set) and that the helmet striping is inconsistent for the home and away series, (almost looks like one of them might be on backwards).
Overall though, I could definitely see this team being extremely high on some people's wish list!

Love it! This team will for certain go early in the draft!
