Thank you for your design. My immediate feedback is that you change the American football in the center of the logo to an actual rugby ball. Also, If you could change the outer ring to either silver or gold, it would reflect better with those who will make the final decision.
Thanks again. It looks more accurate, and now that we have another person who has entered the contest, it sets itself apart in style. I may have ranked your logos behind the other designer right now, but I think that is due to how much it looks like many other sports association logos in the US.
thank you very much for your feedback. I've made it in this way because I though you wanted it traditional, not modern. But I'll do my best and try to make it modern.
