Color rush is back! DSFL edition. This season was was a little different with the color rush being separated into a couple different weeks / streams. Super awesome that DSFL HO was able to get this put together. Always think its a fun little addition to the season and something I look forward to a lot.
I have to start off with a shout out to the DSFL GMs and how awesome it was to get everyone putting out a color rush field. Additional nice job to everyone who took the time to make up these fields and the logos. No fields remained the same as their normal season fields!
Disclaimer: These ranking are my personal opinion. Feel free to leave you opinion on your team's ranking or what you feel was wrong. I will possibly read them.
I am very excited about how hard these rankings are going to be because of all the great submissions but coming in at #8...
Dallas Birddogs
Dallas did themselves dirty by hiding the end zones vs LON. A win on your color rush field is a must! Dallas found their spot at the end here because of it being a recycled field. Overall the field isn't bad. It's just not a new exciting field we got from the rest of the league. Next color rush I hope to see them match the effort put into this field a few season back and get something new out there.
Portland Pythons
The black and gold colors here are perfect for Portland. I LOVE the new logo they did here at mid field and the logo at the 25. I do think the yard markers did get a little big here making it feel slightly crowded. Now what actually lacks for me in this field is the end zones. To me it comes across as maybe a high school end zone? I'm not really sure. I think a different color than the rest of the field could have gone a long way. I do know this happened to be 1 of a few fields this creator did and always has some awesome work. I think this is good but just one or two steps away from being a really great field.
Norfolk Seawolves
I get it Navy / Seawolves. It's there. This feels a little bit better than my last color rush rankings where I had to put them at the top spot. Its a nice clean field with a good theme. I think the problem here is they set such a high bar with their last color rush that this one seems a little to simple for me. I do like the team name being added around the mid field logo and the "NS" logo in the end zone. The color's work great together and overall is a really nice looking field. Just with so much competition this year I think they fit here.
London Royals
LOVE the concept here and think this was done super well. Super cool idea adding in the train tracks as the hash marks. I love the logo at mid field. Awesome job having the logo itself act like a railway turntable. Super cool. I love the team having fun with it and the end zones. I do wish we didn't have any grass fields here and maybe have done something different with that and the numbers. But overall a good field and I love the direction they went with things. This is a top tier field that is not up top just because of the competition.
Kansas City Coyotes
Beeg Beeg Yotes. Kansas City looks like they by far had the most fun creating this seasons color rush field. In my rankings I have moved KCC all over the place from here all the way to the top spot. This is a super cool and awesome field and def outside the box. I have struggled with these rankings and a meme factor being included. But I believe the style of the next 3 outranks the uniqueness of this field. An absolutely incredible Logo change and end zone design. Only complaint is with how awesome those things are the plain purple field ends up seeming empty. I'm glad you guys had fun with this. I feel that this field fits KCC Personality!
Tijuana Luchadores
I have absolutely zero complaints about this field and absolutely love it. The wrestling mask in the end zone is the perfect touch. And how cool is this color combo? As one who isn't a big fan of the TIJ branding I'd like to start a petition for this to become the official colors of the Luchadores. I'll say the only reason they are here and not at the top is because A.) I'm biased B.) I've been bouncing back and forth between weighing out the big changes / memes in these fields. Again absolutely love this field and these color combos. A+ work here.
Minnesota Greyducks
Or should I say the Minnesota Mallards. This was alot of fun to do. Some may say we were piggy backing Nikes own Oregon University, but we all know Minnesota Duck > Oregon Ducks. For those of you who wouldn't know - I was the lead in making this field, so I had al lot of trouble figuring out its ranking. I do believe it is actually a #1 field overall but I can see the comments with me ranking them at the top. I think the colors go well together. I do wish we (I) would have had the time to do something else additionally with the logo. Of course it was a lot of fun to add our trophies on the field with the quack - 2 - quack championships. I'm sure others loved seeing this too! This was a lot of fun to do with the war room and look forward to continuing to be a top field during color rush weeks. Def when I'm writing the articles. Try and stop me. This is top level field but ended up here because of the next two great fields.
Bonus points for clinching the #1 seed for the playoffs on this field (Ducks coming for that 3 peat!)
Bondi Beach Bucs / Solar Bears
1 million bonus points for the Icebear at mid field. I think they did that cuz of this exact article. Super cool and fun field. Def a color rush field if I've seen one. I wish this was still the team branding. The orange and purple together is awesome. While they do throw it back to their Palm Beach days they still keep their Bonid Beach logo at the 25 yard lines. Its also super neat the sun coming in off of the orange field into the purple end zone. How fun of field would this be to play on? I'll praise any BBB field I see that doesn't have the yellow yard lines. Thank god that's over! Bondi Beach... nice job! Top level field and a cool tribute to the organization's past.
Logos:
A big part of Color Rush week is the ability to change your logo up. Again super pumped at how the DSFL teams responded to this years color rush. I do hope that similarly to how the fields were great this year that we could have the same kind of luck with the cool logo designs.
For this year I want to shout out the 3 teams that complete redesigned their logos and took the time and energy to make new ones while still reppin' their team.
London Royals:
Portland Pythons:
Kansas City Coyotes:
Awesome job for these teams taking the time to come up with new logos for their color rush week. I again hope we can see more of that, myself included.
So my colors rush winner for Season 31 would have to go to both Kansas City Beeg Beeg Yotes and the Bondi Beach Solar Bears. You guys did great work and put a lot of effort into things. These weeks are the hard work you do make this a fun and enjoyable thing for all the users.
Next color rush I'm gonna have to find a way to separate the meme fields from style points. I think MIN and TIJ both put out great fields that could have brought home the crown too.
Thanks for making this so hard on me. A lot of fun writing these articles and look forward to an even more difficult ranking in the future!
