Gap
In the Fall of 2024, I was asked to create logos for a brand new, all-girls flag football league, testing the waters for community interest, with hopes of growing the league rapidly over the next few seasons. Interest was massive! We wanted to playfully incorporate the female aspect, so the two teams were called the Hoover HERicanes and the Homewood RaidHers.
The HERicanes were a team formed from girls that attended two different school systems; Hoover and Spain Park. Hoover's colors are orange and black, and Spain Park's main color is a light blue, so with the team set to be named after a hurricane, that natural spinning motion of a storm worked perfectly as a way to blend the orange and light blue, representing those two school systems uniting on this team. And for a final touch of detail, I shaped the eye of the hurricane like a football, and added the seams.
For the RaidHers, the challenge was to take the iconic NFL Raiders logo, and give it a feminine twist. This was alot of fun to work on and watch it come together, and eventually see them printed on actual game jerseys. The only issue was that my niece, and my daughter, live in two different communities, and therefore played on rival teams.
