Hey Gritty I am currently on Vacation with my dad and siblings. We are camping so that means I have limited service on my phone. We get back late Saturday night so my pick in the Owner draft could come late at night. Just wanted to give you a heads up

No worries the draft won't officially start until Sunday morning.

I think Chicago looks good but I am not a fan of the colors. Looks a lot like Arizona

Whoever designed Kentucky’s logo, do the colors symbolize anything?

I got the idea of purple and gold from Louisville City FC. It fit in nice with the teams that had already been revealed as a nice unique color scheme.
As for the uniforms, not the biggest fan of the helmet choices, was really hoping for a gold helmet, the uniforms are alright, they need some tweaks though. I'm not sure why the whole shoulder cap needed to be colored in on the away and alternate. The striping pattern should match the ones on the pants, it throws the color balance off on the whole uniform for me. I think I also would've preferred a G/W/G stripe on the home uniform, alternate pants and purple helmet. One thing I do like is the white over white at home.

Chicago I like a lot! It needs some tweaks too but I love the traditional, rust belt football look. The gold helmet doesn't need the over sized helmet logo, and the white in the helmet stands out like a sore thumb. The set could use some consistency among the pants stripes. I love the intricate helmet stripe, and it seems like it was carried over to the gold pants but skipped on the red pants. I understand the idea of trying to carry over the same red pants from the away to the alt, but I don't like that the alternate's color theming was prioritized over the consistency of the primary uniforms. The white uniform, like louisville doesn't need the whole shoulder cap thing either, that idea is a unique one that works on a uniform or two but imo it's being overused. The set could also use a pair of white pants. Overall though it's definitely on my shortlist, the home uniform may be my favorite in the league.

Looking back on Steelman's actual submission it seems like all my critiques were met. The shoulder cap isn't actually filled in as red but the stripes are adapted like i would expect them to be, and the red pants had the helmet stripe carried over. There also seems to be a white pair of pants if needed. So I take back what I said Steel. Definitely on my short list now.

Yeah some of the things on the submissions were tough to carry over like the socks.  It is something I am working on. But I agree I think this is a solid submissions for a more traditional team. 

PJ Fleck to the Voyageurs confirmed?
