The Roughnecks is based on the uniforms the troopers wore in the first film (I’ve yet to see the sequels), so that meant omitting the waist stripe. However I did add arm stripes, because it’s not a hockey jersey without arm stripes in my opinion. Secondary logos are in keeping with the uniform as well, but I didn’t include the ‘fist-holding-knife’ logo seen on the right shoulder because it would get too expensive to make this jersey, so I twinned the diamond logo.
The main crest features some dark humor: it is loosely based on the Raid logo; mainly the outline shape as well as the extensive use of lightning bolts.
The wings seen at the top of the main crest are a loose interpretation of the pins worn by the Mobile Infantry. The eagle is drawn in the style of those wings. A lightning bolt at the neck line is a nod to Roughnecks as a nickname.
Lastly I moved the ’6′ from the secondary logos to the main logo so I could place the Federation ‘Thunderbird’ logo on those instead.
Speaking of the Federation, here is a design I made several months ago and posted on Facebook:
There might be some plans to release the Roughnecks jersey. Stay tuned for details.
