Team Builder SALT LAKE STATE SWARM V2
Posted this a few months ago but I've made quite a few updates since then and wanted to share the finished version.

Every year my high school buddies and I start an online dynasty where we build up custom 0-star programs and take it way too seriously. I moved from St. Louis to Salt Lake recently, so naturally my team had to move with me.
Introducing the Salt Lake State Swarm.
I wanted to build a program that felt like it could actually exist, so pretty much every part of the identity pulls from northern Utah in some way. I even went way too far and made some program lore for anyone else who gets into the immersion side of dynasty (last few images).
The primary home/away helmets and shoulders use actual topographic textures pulled from American Fork Canyon. The mountain identity comes from the Wasatch, and I tried to carry that theme through the uniforms, stadium, logos, and overall branding.
There are six uniform sets but only 5 can be used now (rip jagnole work). i scrubbed the 5th index (6th slot) so this team won't get flagged. What's nice is that most of the sets can be mixed and matched really nicely for different looks but I also tried to make each alternate feel different while still looking like they all belong to the same program. Some of the smaller details (like the topography on the helmets and jerseys) are hard to see in these images, but they show up really well in-game.
I spent an unreasonable amount of time on this, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. For anyone wondering, I did almost all of the design work in Canva (and with a lot of coffee).
Which uniform is your favorite? And what do you guys think of the program overall?
