Washington Retires Team Name

After 87 years the time has come. The ownership’s public direction is to use no Native American imagery and honor the military. Not knowing what team name Washington willend up choosing, my favorite of the bunch is the Washington Warriors. It just sounds like a football team and it perfectly fits their direction. I wanted to design a logo that would endure. A flexible logomark that works well in the sports environment. Finally, I definitely wanted to keep the burgundy and gold. My solution was a stylized monogram of the “WW”. Imagery that represents the military, the soldiers and their service was tough to narrow down. Weapons and equipment are cool but they may also create new problems… ask the Washington Bullets. In the end, my solution was to take inspiration from U.S Military insignia. I also created a variation of the shield that could give a more specific tribute for a secondary logo placement (example: Tuskegee Airmen, Wounded Warrior Project or the U.S. Navy). Whatever the new name and logo will be I’m sure it will take this fan some time to get use to. HTTR!


Fantasy Stud of the Week

A series of vids highlighting the week’s top performers for the 2016 fantasy football season. With the new Instagram layout options (not limited to squares anymore) I created a “trading card” feel for this design. I hope to see a few of my own fantasy players here.

KD to the Dubs?!

Wow! This Fourth of July started off with a thundering bang! Okay, not the best choice of words. I was hoping the 6’9″ Redskins fan would of teamed up with John Wall but Kevin Durant takes his talents to the Bay to join the already powerhouse, Golden State. The Vegas odds for the Warriors winning the title next year is nuts at (-160). For those non-gambling sports fans, your hard earned $160 bones will only get you $100… and that still may be money in the bank.

Bringing a Championship to the Land!

With all the hype since high school you got to give it up to Lebron James for taking the Cleveland Cavaliers to the promise land. Let The King versus His Airness debates begin.

Let’s Go Pens!

Congrats to the Four-time Champions! It’s hard to go back-to-back in the NHL but can the Penguins repeat? Vegas already has them as the 8-1 favorites for 2017.

Super Bowl Prediction Series

Here’s my final post of the SB50 Position Matchup Series, my Super Bowl Prediction. After a season of stats, weeks of research and a single day before the Super Sunday I’m going with the Carolina Panthers. Even with the Bronco’s top rated defense Carolina’s D is just a better matchup to Denver’s offense. Check out my Instagram for my full, expert analysis.

Only a few more days left until Super Sunday. And we are coming down to the final matchups. Next up: Wide Outs and Tight Ends.

Here are the last 3 Super Bowl 50 Position Match Ups: QB’s, Coaches and CB’s… Denver’s defense may be better than Carolina’s but can Peyton produce just enough? Will 4 or 5 Brandon McManus field goals be the difference? Check out my instagram to see the reasons behind these match ups results.

Up next, the Running Back position. I gave the Broncos the slight edge. Denver’s RB’s combine for more yards and touchdowns and a healthy C.J. is like having Le’Veon, LeSean or Jamaal… I mean when they’re healthy.

Trying out a new thing on Instagram. Video. I’ll be creating a series of the Super Bowl 50 Position Match Ups. Up first is my favorite position, Linebacker. Luuuuuke! More in this series to follow…

One of the best wide outs of all time. Larry Fitz! Better hands than Cris Carter? Hmmm, maybe. One thing’s for sure, he is a class act on and off the field. Professional sports needs more like him. If he makes it to the big show, I’ll be rooting for him to bring home the hardware. Good luck, Number Eleven!

Here’s my latest… I know the final votes haven’t been tallied but there’s only 1 choice for me when it comes to this year’s League MVP.  He also led the way to my fantasy football championship. Thanks, Cam!

My Redskins reach the playoffs with a win over the Eagles! 38-24, eliminating both Philly and the New York Giants. A wise man once said, “You Like That! You Like That!” (Kirk Cousins) Why, yes.. yes I do. Hail to the Redskins!
