20/32 – Chicago Dragons Uniforms
Behind the Stitches
The "Beasts of the East" Chicago Dragons adopt a modern-looking uniform set.
The Dragons wear a white-shelled helmet with a metallic silver facemask. The primary dragon logo takes center stage on the helmet with the "Dragons" and "Chicago" wordmarks on the front and back numbers respectively.
As a team that was born in the mid 2000s, the uniform set naturally takes inspiration from the infamous Vikings uniforms of the same time period. This team has used variations of that design for many years – only up until the past couple seasons where they went for a more "paneled" approach – but are now reverting back to their roots.
The primary home top is sky blue with white stripes that follow the length of the side panel and taper towards the top of the shoulder framed with navy piping. The white away top reverses the color roles and the navy top has sky blue stripes and silver piping. Each jersey has the "Dragons" wordmark placed below the collar.
The pants follow the same striping mechanic, each with a white, blue, or navy base color. The top hip section where the stripe is truncated to reveal the pant color and frame the primary dragon logo.
The jersey number set is a resurrection of a previously used design for the Dragons that was designed independent from the team typography. It's a rather cleanly built square sans with athletic block inspiration and angular terminals across many of the letterforms.
These mockups were made with a modified and retextured Madden 20 on PC. The in-game screenshots were then used to create a composition in Photoshop.
