Here is my logo for your consideration: a crest emblem that looks like something that would go on an award or trophy (to imply "Champs"). Also, I used stripes & stars to visually tie it to professional sports, jerseys, etc. (in addition to making it look professionally American).
Additional layouts and colors to come... Thanks for looking.
Here is an alternate logo of just text that you could use on smaller items, such as hats or other embroidered items. The main logo I uploaded previously would print and look great on shirts, website, etc.
This looks great......but I would like to see this version without the light blue stripes and a couple of versions alternating between a black back shadow behind the shield as well as the white depicted. After removing the stripes, perhaps also show a variation with stars in the background replacing the stripes that I am recommend omitting. IN addition, please also pay close attention to the back shadow on the letters and show the variation in black as well. The curvature of the letters is nice but maybe show a version with the top row letters replicating the same curvature as the bottom group. The bottom of the top word should be straight, the top of the bottom letters should also be straight. The curve or rake should mimic top and bottom both words, with crescent shapes opposite of eachother. In other words, the top letters should be the shape of a smile, if looking at the logo you see a frown depicted in the shape of the curvature of the bottom letters. Hope this is helpful and thanks,
Thanks for the detailed feedback—makes my job much easier, and will better ensure you get the look you are hoping for. This one here is probably my favorite, thus far. I will post others as I come up with them.
Here is an alternate color-scheme... you could easily use both to offer more flexibility throughout the site, as well as an additional logo for promo material or apparel. (I would be happy to provide both versions, if you would like.)
