Ah (Fantasy) Football Season...

Yes it is that time of year, time for real football players to suit up and hit the field while millions of non-athletes select them in fantasy leagues, rooting for receptions, touchdowns, and yards gained galore. While I do not participate in fantasy football, I did hop on the wagon of creating a couple custom logos for my brothers' teams this year (Let be know that out of the three of us, my older and younger brothers are the athletic ones. They just never got the attention of the NFL scouts. Oh well...)

Anyway, below is the fun I had with both of my brothers' teams. It was a great project for me to just play around with different techniques and see what I could come up with. I liked the final output on both and here's hoping they're hooked up to some winning teams.

For my older brother's team...

And for the younger brother...

 

A Little Fun with Our NFL Rooting Interests

I'm a sports nerd and a graphic design nerd, so a sports infographic is always begging to come out of my mind. This particular one is an idea that I had come to me while watching some the "Dynasty Week" coverage the NFL Network had a little while back. As I got to thinking of just how much tradition existed with the teams me and my brothers root for, I thought it would be cool to showcase it in this way. To keep the postseason statistics a little more level, I only counted championships and such from the Super Bowl era, seeing as my favorite team had a 40+ year head start on my brothers' favorites.

For me, it was a lot of fun to delve into just how many championships, playoff appearances, and hall of famers have come from our favorite teams. It's absolutely crazy to think if you randomly pick any 3 Super Bowls that have been played, chances are one of our teams was in at least one of them. It's stuff like that that the nerd me is, well, most nerdy about. This was a lot of fun to create, and I hope my brothers get a kick out of it as well.
