Okay, let's go over the constructive comments you just made here, if we can, Eugene, and let me see if I can explain more about what I'm trying to do here with the mentioned teams uniforms better. Hopefully you'll understand better what I have in mind, once I do.

From the SRL-related thread, in regards to Slaabojevo:

Slaabojevo is the national capital of Slaabovia, and it sits to the southeast of much of Bublitzania, as it is also directly east of Rocíoton. It is a very cosmopolitan city of about 5.72 million people as of the 1901 Census. It was once known as Choimaku City, but that name is now used for certain older parts of the city, as is Old Choimaku, among other names for parts of the Federal District.

In more modern times, it is a major center for media outlets, language-related developmental work, theological discussions and studies, sports, commerce, science, art, education, historical events (especially in the years before Cirriddiqua became Slaabovia), and also many well-known military and naval personnel for centuries have hailed from the area. It also has two rivers running through it to the sea, for Slaabojevo is a coastal city, and those rivers are the Follis River and the Da Vinci River.

The Da Vinci River has most of its length running through Bublitzania, even though it starts just east of Borgianteklena in Turtletania, and just north of the Pliguria Mountains that form the entire border between the Slaabovian states of Follisland and Turtletania. As for the Follis River, it begins when five streams merge together to form it near both Many Forks and Lima. Those five streams that merge together to form the Follis River are the Okna, the Chaklu, the Moqua, the Linqua, and the Smikulo. Clovidequano Dovatha, in my nation's history, is from Lima's area, and you will read more about Lima at some point, after the CKU's created, for sure.

You've seen the team sets that were made for the Knights. Eventually, the Warriors will become the Knights, but before then, several more years have to pass, of course.

The main colors I am trying to get to for the Slaabojevo franchise are blue, gold, and red, but it may take a while to get there well enough to satisfy me here. The site where I mainly got the color codes used for the Warriors lists the bluish color as lapis lazuli, the yellowish color as mellow yellow, the reddish color as smoky topaz, the whitish color as alabaster, and the grayish color as granite gray. I'm still looking for the proper color balance for the Warriors, and trying to give each team a distinct enough look here, to be sure. Eventually, I hope to find a satisfactory enough shade of gold to use for the Knights, if at all possible.

FDW stands for Federal District Warriors, or would if that were the actual team name. I don't want to use SLA, because the future Browns will use that abbreviation later, if I remember correctly, in the game. It's the same reason I will use FDK for the Slaabojevo team when the Warriors change their name to the Knights at the time the SBC becomes the Slaabovian Republic League.

As for Rocíoton, let's go over your comments related to them here. But first, let me repost some information related to that place from the necessary SRL-related thread, please, if I may.

From the SRL-related thread, in regards to Rocíoton:

Rocíoton is a coastal city of about 1.78 million people, as of the 1901 Census, and it is one of Slaabovia's major ports. It is directly south of Willson, northwest of Foalwi Island, and north of Robedavi Island just across the Straits of Foalwi and Bleskoinga. Many of Slaabovia's well-known naval personnel have historically come from the area in and around Rocíoton, as well. Several major naval and military bases, fortresses, and/or castles are in the area, and several are still actively used by the Slaabovian Republic's Army, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard, for example, as they seek to keep Slaabovia's territory as safe and as secure as they possibly can.

In more modern times, Rocíoton has still remained considerably more cosmopolitan than most other known places in Slaabovia have been over the years ever since the last foreign invaders/occupiers/colonizers finally left Slaabovia's territory behind once and for all. While it is not quite as cosmopolitan as Slaabojevo may be, or at least not so much as of present, it is still more like that than most other Slaabovian towns and cities at the present time. It was one of the last cities of departure for those that had invaded, occupied, and/or colonized various areas of the Slaabovian mainland. So much of the city's current population is not descended primarily from native Slaabovian ancestry, even though it's been about fifty or sixty years, more or less, as far as anyone can figure, since most foreigners left Slaabovia behind for their own proper nations elsewhere in the world.

I am ultimately trying to achieve a look for the Black Guards that is partly influenced by pirate-type people and partly influenced by USN/USMC-type people, but with a decidedly Cirriddiquan/Slaabovian feel of some sort to it. I didn't use blue anywhere on the Black Guards' items, although they may look sort of blue at times, perhaps, depending on how light might hit them, I think. The RBG you see on the road cap stands for the team initials. ROC will probably be used for at least one fictional franchise in a yet-unknown, or yet-uncreated, league, whether that league/team(s) will be created by the game or by me at some point.

The main site, if not the only site, where I got the color codes for the colors I'm currently using with the Black Guards' items, called the colors Jet, Desert Sand, Vivid Burgundy, Floral White, and Independence, respectively. The Jet color is almost black, while the Independence color is almost purple, perhaps. The main colors I ultimately have in mind for the future Camels, once they're finally to their most preferred colors, are black, tan, red, and white. I'm not sure what shade of tan I might prefer most for their ultimate look, but I envision burgundy being one of their main colors for many years.

I'd like the tan uniform to be the primary home color base, with the other colors present as appropriate and as possible, but I've not found the proper color balance yet for Rocíoton, unfortunately. The road jersey will be the blackish color referenced as jet above, or at least the primary road jersey will be, anyway.

The main color schemes I ultimately have in mind for each future team in the SRL are as follows, and I will list teams in alphabetical order, organization-wise, for ease of comprehension and all:

Amjasi (Now Farmers, will become Hornets circa 1901): Navy, yellow, green, white
Benclimil (Now Thoroughbreds, will become Chargers circa 1901): Red, white, brown
Folliston (Now Scholars, will become Cupids circa 1901): Red, white, pink, blue
Olsonton (Now Explorers, will become Vikings circa 1901): Black, gold, red
Rocíoton (Now Black Guards, will become Camels circa 1901): Black, tan, red, white
Sara City (Now Inventors, will become Rockets circa 1901): Purple, white, orange
Sarahnapool (Now Archeologists, will become Cougars circa 1901): Yellow, blue, copper
Shmala (Now Zoologists, will become Bears circa 1901): Black, silver, orange
Slaabojevo (Now Warriors, will become Knights circa 1901): Blue, gold, red
Tracyton (Now Artists, will become Huskies circa 1901): Brown, white, blue
Tran City (Now Lumberjacks, will become Bucks circa 1901): Green, white, brown
Willson (Now Fighters, will become Athletics circa 1901): Blue, white, green

Just because I've not quite gotten to my preferred colors yet for certain teams, if not all of them, that doesn't necessarily mean that I won't, does it, Eugene? Hopefully in time, I'll have a good mix of colors and looks in the SRL for all the teams in it. And in time, suitable looks for any potential farm teams those teams may themselves have, if I don't already have them, right?

Thank you very much for your commentary above here, for sure. I'll try to keep it in mind as I continue to try to improve my skills and all, graphics-wise, at least. I have some ideas in mind for the Inventors, but not sure yet if I can pull them off yet, of course, not having taken a stab, so to speak, at them yet. Keep in mind that the looks you've seen for current and potential future teams aren't necessarily locked down permanently, so they could change every so often, you know.

That's probably enough to talk about here for this post, at least. CD out.
