flamingo-phoenix
aka 'flamoenix' 🦩
This bold, wrap-around design captures the moment a reborn Flamingo takes flight, much like a phoenix! Designed to maximize space, this design will be inarguably recognizable as a flamingo from every angle. If you look at the flamingo closer, you may notice the body is loosely abstracted as a rugby ball! Bright teal flames lend to the phoenix-inspired narrative while paying homage to past Flamingos marketing and the Trans pride flag colors! Blue flames aren’t just pretty...they are the hottest! In many cultures, blue flames signify spiritual awakening, wisdom, protection from negative energy, and shedding of doubt. The teal is naturally incorporated into the design without overpowering the iconic flamingo pink(s). The flames on the sleeves remind the wearer they can choose to start anew each game, each task.

Mockups
This jersey included an opportunity to combine elements with Paladin. The two-tone pink background was part of Paladin's initial mockup, which unfortunately did not match the team's vision. We were able to save the elements the team liked and combined them with the fresh 'flamoenix' design!

Gameday Photos
Baltimore Flamingos faced against San Diego Armada at the 2026 Bingham Cup, held in Brisbane, Australia. This West Coast versus East Coast battle was not only highly physical, but a rare sight – two of my jersey designs on one pitch!
