Hello, I am writing about a fictional sports team called DC United and they require a fictional sports logo/crest.
Taking inspiration from the English Premier League and Roy of the Rovers, please design a football club crest.
Updated:
Hi all,
Primary club colours are claret and blue.
Heritage of the club:
DC United are from an old shipping town (think old Manchester). Their local supporters were mainly from the port and nearby logging industry.
Mascot: A raven.
The club origins:
DC United was formed late in 1859 with the development of Deadtree Park. However the new club had inadequate facilities, so it linked up with Cheshire County, a nearby cricket club.
Legend has it that in 1863 an enormous flock of ravens landed on the southern stand the morning that DC United were scheduled to play a promotion match into lowest tier of the professional football league.
