Here is my logo idea: an all encompassing athletic crest/shield, which will look great at the top of your website. It is also hip enough to be placed on promotional materials, or even apparel if needed.
I like the concept of the shield, but need to think it through a little more. I Want the Name Go To Teams to be prominent, with the shield or logo design seperate from the Name. But in some cases I can see the layout being used the way you currently have it.
In the Lower section, the use of the arrow, X's, and O's makes me think of Football. Can you incorporate some other ideas for the lower section, and could I see the Name out side the Shield in Prominent font with the shield incorporated to the design? If you have any other questions please ask ...
Here is a reworked shield concept. I like the look of this a lot, but I have some additional text options I want to try out still. More additions to come...
Also, this would remain a 2 or 3 color print (depending on garment color), as well as a clean logo for stitching/embroidery. There would not have to be any kind of simplifying involved to go directly onto garments and apparel.
Here is the main competitor for the type of business, eteamz.com They emphasized the E as part of the Logo. Nice simple and recognizable logo.
I like the shield, but am a little reserved on how it would /could be presented on shirts, like it might be to much. I appreciate that you have put a lot of effort into this design. A friend who is a designer likes number 14. I also, liked the simpleness of entry #2,, just in the wrong colors. Would it be possible to speak with you?
