Competition Australian Gridiron League 2019 - Bidding Thread

[magpienato]

I have no talent for designs, but we need a Port Adelaide Sea Devils now!

Location: Port Adelaide
Moniker: Sea Devils
Colours - (Primary/Secondary/Tertiary if applicable): Black, White/ Silver / Sky Blue, Sea Green.
Mascot: Neptune.
Ground: Atlantis

I will need to draw it by hand.

I mean I guess we can't say no, but see how you go using good ol' paint and some google image templates. Although its up to you my friend

In fairness, by hand is probably easier than Paint depending on the design. That said, I still haven't tried paint.net.

Yeah the only thing Photoshop has over actual drawings is that you can actually undo mistakes.

I think I'll get this started now that NAFL is up and about, with around 8 bids with a couple maybes, I'm hoping we can get at least 8 just to get things started.
Season Hub thread will be up soon.

Hopefully a few more roll through with NAFL starting. Keep bumping the thread and linking it on the gridiron board

I might take a nibble, depending on the timing of this contest. When are you all looking to close submissions?

Bidding for teams should close pretty shortly (within the next few days) and then a couple of weeks to design and get submissions in (ideally I'd have liked everybody to already be designing, but I think this is a fair amount of time). As long as you have an idea for a team ready you can join

My first sketch for the logo is below. I had to use the phone, and the end result wasn't as good as I was expecting. Let's see if I can compensate using words [I'm a legal scholar and political scientist with a managerial job - not the guy one would expect taking part of a design contest]:

I. It is a trident, the weapon of Neptune (Poseidon), later associated with devilish spirits [it is the Sea Devils];
II. The background would be split horizontally at the middle, with see green on the top and sky blue on the bottom [this arrangement would be repeated on the helmet];
III. The trident has a silver outline [which should be both brigther and thinner than the one I have drawn];
IV. The main color of the trident is black, except for the middle spear, which is white;
V. The black part forms the goal posts used in American/Canadian gridiron football, but also docks for ships [it is PORT Adelaide, after all];
VI. The white part is a white arrow points upwards, which: (a) reflects the bottom part of the trident on the water; (b) completes the trident (three teeth); (c) shows the direction of the goal [and it is always pointing fowards, which is great for "designspeak"].



What do you all, who knows these stuffs better than I do, think of it?

That's brilliant my friend! Using that as a guide you could try sketch that on a computer program, either online or on Paint and see how you go. It would just make it neater that's all but otherwise good start.

Is there a minimum requirement for the designs in this one? i.e. Front design, helmet, pants, socks, reverse design, logo, name font, etc...

Just a front and back of each kit (Home & Away). You can do socks and all the other nicknacks, but all you'll require is the jersey, pants and helmet. I'll put a template to follow sometime today.

On SM-G960U1 using BigFooty.com mobile app

I'm ready, despite the lack of skills. Forwards and upwards!
