I'm confused about the maroon for Minnesota. Which color is the actual one? I used the swatch off of the divisional graphic but it looks like different colors were used in the submissions. Hopefully the winner will have an opportunity for an adjustment if necessary.

I agree. It appears that only option A has the same shade of maroon. Will B and C be adjusted to match, or will they keep the submitted color? I would like to know before submitting my vote, as the color would be a factor for me with those looks.

I would focus on the design and we can adjust if necessary moving forward.

Re: AltFL - Design Thread

Welcome to the AltFL CENTRAL.  Our last division.  We officially are in Owner Draft Week, so I hope everyone is getting their ducks in a row.  With that said, here are the Milwaukee Mallards! Designed by DireBear who won with 43%.  This was a very close race.  In fact, most of these matchups were very close.  I think this uniform did everyone a favor of not mirroring Portland and Utah's green on gold (yellow) look.  The color scheme of Milwaukee is strong and the use of blue is unique.  Tomorrow we will head to Kentucky to check out the Purple and Gold Stallions.

A unique colour scheme translated into a unique jersey, exactly what I wanted to see when suggesting the name. It will be fun to be able to mix and match the different elements of the jerseys.
Great work DireBear!

Mallards look amazing! Maybe if they fall, I could pick them up!

This...is a BEAUTY!  I already had 'em high up on my list as they're my hometown team-this set's only gonna solidify it (making the most of their unique color scheme, as several already said)

Out of all the AltFL slogans, “Addicted to Quack” is my favorite by far.

Milwaukee fans should be called “Quackheads”, because that’s a prime opportunity.

Re: AltFL - Design Thread

Gotta be the jerk that says it, but I'm personally not digging this one.  I think the color balance is a bit off here. Granted, a dark green and navy color combo isn't easy to work with, as they are both pretty dark colors which need a light color to provide contrast (this is made even harder if the goal is to avoid using too much yellow so not to be another green and yellow team like the Raptors and Grizzlies) either though.  Looking at the submitted choice, the collars did have different colors that would have helped the color balancing a little bit, (for example, the home set in the submitted set had a navy collar, but no such collar exists in the final version). 

I actually think the Mallards needed to embrace navy more than they do here and to avoid the green/yellow combo as much as possible, probably needs more white too instead of yellow.  Again, these are just my thoughts/opinions.

Let me be clear, this is nothing against Dire Bear's design skills at all, (in fact, I'm a pretty big fan of his work!), but I do feel this particular team is a miss for me personally.

Whoever gets Milwaukee please name the stadium the Quackhouse.

Re: AltFL - Design Thread

Just when I thought that everyone loved the Mallards, Stick comes in and trashes on my parade.... (I kid I kid, I love C&C on my stuff )

I tried my best to prevent another green/gold team (which is probably my favorite color scheme, ironic since I hate the main team that uses it), so I thought to not use white as a contrast to the other green/gold teams. As for the collars/sleeves, it's most likely a limitation of the template being used to present the unis, so just imagine that the collars and sleeves are right ;). 

The Quackheads nickname is great, but is giving me PTSD of the Packers squashing Da Bears every step of the way with their cheeseheads. <insert obligatory FTP here> Now that I'm thinking about it, I can see Mallards fans wearing duck heads to games in support. 

Glad people love this design!
