Back and brighter than ever!
Season 32 color rush rankings. Awesome to again see all the teams putting out a color rush field. But we got a new twist. We had a good chunk of teams put out their fields from Season 31 and I get it. So this season I broke down all the different fields into 4 different tiers.
1 - Recycled turf
2 - Having fun
3 - Digging it
4 - Top Tier
I will also say that in my opinion color rush week is your teams change to be whatever you want as you will see with my HON field for this season. I know just making a new field each season can be tough but hope we opened the door for teams to be creative. We tried to have a tie into our city while we changed to not go completely random. The other path you saw in this season's fields is the locker room inside joke. This may get your team some "WTF"s throughout the league but if your team likes it who cares?
Also disclaimer this is all just my opinion. To each their own.
Recycled Turf:
Yellowknife Wraiths
I'll follow up on what I said last year... I love the light blue on the black and really like the design overall. Doesn't scream color but fits the team there. Lets see that light blue turf next season :eyes:
Orange County Otters
I need more orange! Again like the field from last season but will always be hoping for something new. Can we get an Orange County Choppers field in S33? Otters on the bike and all. Please and thank you!
New Orleans Secondline
I still know nothing about this team for some reason. Colors will never be my personal favorite but your dealing the hand your dealt. Throw a big Mardi Gras mask in the middle of this field and make all those New Orleans colors pop!
New York Sliverback
How many season are you physically going to pain us to watch this game? My quote from last year.. "I've never hated and loved something so much in my life." BUT with such a badass logo and theme around your team you should have no problem coming up with something awesome.
Berlin Fire Salamanders
Sweet field here so I know you guys can come up with something else just as cool. Similar to New York you guys have an awesome logo / mascot to make this really awesome. Not only do you have the uniqueness of the logo you are an international team that can really embrace the culture. I have no suggestions for you here because for some reason I'm legit terrified of you people in Berlin. But hope to see something as good as this come season 33!
So for these recycled turf teams, I want to let you know that I know many people would be willing to work up a field for you if not one in your locker room is interested. I know it can suck to add another thing to your plate but I think this rush is an absolutely awesome addition to the league and hope to continue to see some great ideas worked up for the future seasons!
Having Fun!
Chicago Butchers (Swifties)
Okay I spent a long time debating if I was gonna actually claim this or not but I'm in love with it so I will admit this is a personal design by me and I think it turned out great. Def got some "WTF"s from it but I hope Chicago enjoyed it! I was super proud of the logo done with this. Kept their 6 point star and traded out the knife for a mic. With big T Swift fans in Chicago this was just to good of an opportunity to pass on. Fun fact here: the yard line font is Taylor Swift's handwriting. Now you know! This field was a great way for Chicago to still be able to put out a field and have some fun with it!
PHI Liberty
I'm not sure if I ever thought I'd be scared of a field before but this is up there. Glad they had fun with this. I absolutely loved their field last year so its awesome they went the memeing route this year. Kudos Philly! I hope if this field resurfaces someday, that someone takes the opportunity to take their TD celebration to the midfield faces.
Having fun tier... thank you. This is exactly what this league is for.
Digging it
Colorado Yetis
I do like this field and wish this was their normal filed. Glad they took the time to put this together for us. I do think COL may have the color rush normal field memo mixed up. But what kind of article would a field ranking be without begging for COL to change their field? Nice job on this field!
Baltimore Hawks
The golden hawks, I can support this. I like that you did something. After last season you had a high bar to match and I do think you feel a little short there. Hoping for next season you can dig into the Baltimore culture a bit and bring us something awesome. My personal vote would be the Baltimore Pinchy Crabs.
Austin Copperheads
Austin is somehow another teams that just seems like a foreign language to me. No fault of theirs, just somehow I don't cross paths with many of their users (I think). Anyway... this is a cool field and dig the logo and "dirt" color. I like the direction the endzone were heading but I personally had some trouble figuring it out at first. I love that Austin puts out something really unique and cool for these color rushes. Hope that keeps up!
Sarasota Sailfish
I gotta say I don't love the green fields when it comes color rush week but this just looks so clean. These endzone are something to write about. Love the vice city color combo here and love the logo change to match. ONly thing that kept them from that top tier is the green grass and not doing more with this killer color combo. Awesome field and I personally think this is just a full rebrand opportunity calling.
Top Tier
No here is the best of the best in my opinion. I'll declare a winner here at the end but I believe any of these last three fields could be crowned.
Arizona Outlaws
Outlaws do it again. Another team that always puts out some good content here. I love the pop of color and the theme here. The slight addition to the logo to really dive into the theme is great. Arizona is what keeps me pushing with these HON fields. I have created this little rivalry with AZ when it comes to color rush week. Good job with this!
San Jose Sabercats
I'd like to note that these Cats are against cancer! What a cool thing to do a color rush. It doesn't "pop" color but I do love the purple silver combo here. Very sharp looking field. A very cool tribute with initials of loved ones from team members. I think San Jose did awesome taking an opportunity to do something neat while doing this rush. And I'll support any SJS field and logo that isn't that ugly green and gold
Honolulu Honu
My mom always told me I could be whatever I wanted when I grew up. Today I chose to be a turtle. I am super proud of this field and how it turned on and will be starting a petition for the official rebrand of HON. So as I mentioned earlier I think color rush week is an opportunity to completely rebrand the team for a week. So this season I went with the HONU. It is the Sea Turtle of Hawaii that is said to bring good luck. The logo originally started as a turtle shell but ended up looking better with just the H in the shell. Additionally I love how well Hawaii ended up fitting around the mid field logo and bring some extra "pop". Orange does happen to be my favorite color and with it being the sea turtle I thought the water color paired well. I'm super proud design wise how this turned out!
ICEBEAR'S PICK FOR BEST FIELD OF COLOR RUSH SEASON 32....
SAN JOSE SABERCATS (the cats against cancer) !!!!
I like how sharp it was and went a completely different route that what we've seen with other color rushes and the bringing awareness type tribute to the field. I think this is something that can be incorporated into future color rushes as well. I know I'll hear some GMs screaming as I write this but maybe there can be a charity type week where teams are playing on fields designed with their charities in mind. Donations for voting? Donations go to said charities? I think San Jose could have just started something great!
Congrats to SJS and thanks for all the teams putting something together again this season. For me personally love color rush week and look forward to it each season!
