"Dear fellas,

I saw your link at uni-watch.com and decided to do an NFL in OKC uni a go. I know there is the Rattlesnake roundup in Oklahoma and wanted to do something along those lines. The colors are Chrome Yellow (you can find the hex code at encycolorpedia.com), Midnight Russet and White. I decided to use a "dark gold brown" for the dark color to closely resemble the color patters on the back of diamondbacks, timber rattlers and a few other breeds of rattlesnake. I thought about using old gold or vegas gold for the helmet, yet I thought that would look a lot like New Orleans. I decided to try UCLA Gold, then found Chrome Yellow and settled on that. After I had started the uniform, I realized the uniform looked like the Gadsen Flag. I have included a Home, Away, and Alt uniform with Wordmark and helmet decal. I used some photos as inspiration for the rattlesnakes and if you're patient enough, you can use paint.net to trace the photos and combine your lines to make a drawing! HA!! The fonts used are Railroader for the numbers, Millenium 3 for the OKC, Iron Man of War Non-commercial 2 for the name on the back and Garuda STD for the Rattlers.

So, here we go - your Oklahoma City Rattlers!"

"Here is something that I did last year around this time. There are several images to build the case and they will be in order. 

My heritage is part Cherokee and part of my family descended from there.This is my attempt to bring honor to Native Americans. Oklahoma is the perfect backdrop if you will, to have an identity such as this.

Take care."

"I must admit, I initially felt the task of branding an NFL team on men in the oilfield was a daunting one. But the more time I spent pondering the idea, the quicker my imagination began to run wild. I hope you and your readers will enjoy the design that I've put together. Let me explain my design.

When I think of Oklahoma I think of blue collar, laid-back and prideful people. I wanted to make sure I gave this design a feel that would be representative of the State of Oklahoma. With the obvious connection to the oilfield, I chose to go with a color scheme of black and clay. While black is most certainly a color that is being "done to death" in the modern uniform era, I felt it was the best way to truly define that connection to the men and women this team is paying respect to. The clay color is one that I haven't seen used with a Professional team and I feel it also shares a great history with the state. so it became the secondary. I then used spurts of white here and there throughout the design to break up the harshness that the dark colors presented."

"I chose to go with a clay helmet and a clay chrome facemask. I wanted to implement a black oil flow throughout the bottom of the helmet to really drive home the theme. The helmet also features a black oil well." I like it a lot. Although oil wells like the one Campbell uses have given way on the Oklahoma horizon to hydraulic fracturing (or "fracking") rigs, they are still iconic. They symbolize what drove the history of the state. And that is the kind of local connection I wanted when I decided on Roughnecks.

"I created an Oklahoma City design called the Crazy Eights.  The theory behind that is that Oklahoma is the 8th largest city in the US by area, and the 8 is a graceful and simple design.  The white and silver color scheme is based on the Oklahoma Wranglers, as they were the last pro football team to play in Oklahoma City.  I couldn't choose between red over silver, or silver over red, so I went with silver over red on the right side, and red over silver on the left."
