Hello, good people of the FJ/GD Board.
I have just been elected captain if the SFA team Sin City Swamprats, partly on a platform of revamping the club logo and jumper. Unfortunately, my team is mainly unemployed alcoholic high-school dropouts from last century, and it has been suggested that we request assistance from you clever folk.
Firstly, we are looking for a design for a new logo. This is our current logo...
We have scoured the interwebs, and have found a logo that we really like...
We like the classy rat with the fedora; maybe if some eye detail were added, colours changed to fit in with our new guernsey (see below) or a body were added? Perhaps within a circular frame, with the club name wrapped around? Or just come up with your own design...We will consider all designs, and vote as a team for our favourite. We will, of course, acknowledge the creator at the unveiling and in our history thread, and offer free fantasy beer for lyfe to the winning designer.
The second component of our request is this.
Our team has also been discussing a redesign of our guernsey. We want to add a colour to the jumper, and the consensus is either red or silver. It is also necessary to add the new SFA logo to the jumper.
These are our current guernseys.
Home Kit
Away Kit
Essentially, we were originally the Port board representative team, but like most SFA teams, we have interbred now and are a mixture of many different AFL supporter bases. We are proud of our heritage, and want to keep basically the same design, but are debating adding a third, minor, colour to the kit. The main consensus is a deep red, not quite burgundy, but there is some thought that silver may work as well.
The ideas are to:
The other thing to consider iis that the SFA has just in the last week, been presented with a new logo by FJ/GD star fancyscum which needs to be incorporated into the kits in place of the old SFA logo.
These are the new SFA logos in team colours, as provided to the league by fancyscum. With the additional colour to our trim, there may need to be some minor changes made to the Swamprats one.
We really would appreciate all ideas, and will look at and debate all conceptual designs. Please PM me if you have any further questions, or have a look at our history thread HERE
If you could please let me know ASAP if you are willing and/or able to help us out, as I have to unveil the new branding before the end of July.
Much appreciated,
AB

...but it is from a NHL expansion franchise bid, and as such is subject to copyright. But it may give you an idea of what we are looking for.

The main consensus is a deep red, not quite burgundy, but there is some thought that silver may work as well.
The ideas are to:
- Change the white chevrons on the home strip to a deep red, similar to the FERAL badge on them
- Change the black chevrons on the away kit to the deep red
- Add red trim to the socks of both kits
- Change the white trims around the neck and arms to the same red
- Dispense with the camouflage pattern on the front of both the home and away kits
- Add the new SFA logo to jumper and shorts
- And then to compare, we'd like to see how they look with a silver instead of the red.
