January 31 - Little Body Football

"Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it."

~ George 'Papa Bear' Halas

The Superbowl is no longer a celebration of football - it's a giant commercial dedicated to consumption, dressed up as a national tradition.  

Every year, they polish it a little more -- milking 20 minutes of actual game into a spectacle of commercials, halftime shows, and excessive pomp that often overshadows the game itself.  It's an exhibition of wasteful spending by advertisers paying top dollar to sell us soda and whatever streaming service is the latest flavor of the week.   

Yeah .. I'll probably watch it.  Shut up.

This is one of Stephanie Morace's design examples that she demonstrated, and I think the form works great for that bucket style helmet.  I did try to add legs because the uniforms oftentimes have that color differentiation .. but I don't think I ended with anything that improved anything.  This is already kind of at the sweet spot between 'enough features' and 'all the features' as is.
