Legione Roma

Hey guys, I really haven't had much time to do personal concepts, just paid jobs. But here is one for everyone. I might post everything for one project soon on here, so stay tuned.

Tim suggested this name, and I really liked it. I did a few things you see in Italian soccer, mainly the crest shape. Teams like Milan, and Juventus have oval shaped crests, and people even call it an Italian-style. I did a maroon and orange similar to Rome's soccer team Roma, and put vertical stripes on the kits, like so many Italian teams have. I arched Roma over it, and put a Roman soldier's helmet on it, which is just from the Senators' logo. Also the Roman numerals for the year.
I did vertical stripes matching the crest, but added a twist. I really like Barcelona's kits, which instead of the traditional red and blue, there is a gradient purple color. I tried to match that, just for effect. I did a color in between the two, so it looks like the stripes transition into eachother. The clash is white and black just because it can be. I wanted to do something different than maroon and orange, so I did.

Avant Lyonnais

Another Burmy suggestion, this time for Lyon. I went with a color scheme I haven't really used that much in red and navy. I threw in gold for good measure, too. The Lyon comes from the OL logo. I put it on a roundel and thought it looked really good. 

The kits are adidas, with a touch of the Portland Timbers. I did a darker shade on one side and sleeve and made a pattern. I did big cuffs to balance the opposite colors on the red and navy.

Club Alpino Torino

Burmy suggested name that I liked, and the crest takes after the crest of Torino. The current one has a yellow bull and a crown on top of the crest. I replaced the crown with a mountain similar to Denver. I tried to make a modern bull looking at some examples from guys like Davidson, but made it my own. Also, I put a sublimated mountain on the field! 

I did a yellow band running across the chest that stands out on a blue background. The white sock on the blue set is like what Chelsea has, so it can work. Everything matches with logo color and such, so I ended up really liking this concept.

2004 Stanley Cup Conepts

Just some hockey concepts to clear your palette! First, I noticed that every flames concept trying to bring them back to basics doesn't use black. Well I did simple striping with black and went for a bold fresh look with black to highlight colors.
 Next, I really wish my team would clean up their third jersey. It was good for their last set, but since they changed to super clean and classy, it doesn't fit. I tried my hand at two alternate jerseys. One focusing on vintage white, with BOLTS on the chest, like the current. The other is like the Habs' home jersey with the roundel logo on them.

Aberdeen Energy

The Edmonton team used an oil theme, so that's why I was always so hesitant about the suggestions. Well, one of Aberdeen's nickname is the Energy Capital of Europe, so I thought I could do a really good identity. I LOVED the crest mcrosby used for Angola in his African Soccer concepts(go check it out, it's great). I did a color scheme for the Nashville Predators on my new tumblr that I liked, so I brought it back. I did a lightning bolt, yakball, with scripts on the crest to fill space. I feel like the bold colors helped out the concept a lot.
Another Kappa team, on a uniform that's a mix of Birmingham's uniform, and the old Dortmund ones. I went with monochrome yellow and white, and tried to be as bold as possible!

Glasgow Nationals

Finally a team in Glasgow! A national symbol for Scotland is a unicorn, and I thought it was unique enough to include in a crest, hence the name Nationals. I wanted to make it different from other blue and white teams I did, so I used Buffalo Bills blue and white, and went for a more modern look. 


The uniforms have horizontal pinstripe as this motif. Blue with white pants and socks, kinda like Tampa. The clash is highlighter, because it would be unique to the league, and because I can! 


Nottingham Sherrifs

Knocking out the last team from England! Honestly, I didn't know what kind of imagery to use for this team, I just liked the suggested name. I went with a red, vintage white, and black. I made a modern yakball and put it on a crest and made it look good. If anyone has an idea for something to add to improve, be my guest.


The jerseys were pretty cool, I thought. I went with vertical red and black stripes with vintage white to offset that. I wanted a classic AC Milan feel. The clash is off color with darker stripes because it looked better than it did being plain.
