Irish Fictional League

boilermaker · 03-13-2006, 06:04 PM

If anyone is bored and/or up for the challenge, I'm thinking ahead for OOTP7 and plan on starting a small Irish Major League with one AAA-level sub-league. I recognize nobody has to do any of these, so I'm COMPLETELY thankful to anyone willing to take up the call. And I'd be thankful for any number of contributions, even if it's just one logo.

Some of the teams have the same nicknames as MLB teams and I may just use the actual MLB logo for them, so maybe I don't need any for those (unless you want to slap on the appropriate city name)....and I definately prefer logos to be low key, old school, simplistic, as opposed to logos that look like they belong in the Arena Football League or WNBA.

Low key, old school, classy and classic looking. Oh, and I don't need the city name AND nickname in the logo, necessarily. One or the other is obviously fine and possibly flexible for other people to use, too.

Here's the league setup:

Note: Not sure how the black in this will work in OOTP, if so, I can tweak it some...

Ah, now that's just friggin' SWEET! Thanks, Prof!

canadiancreed · 03-13-2006, 10:59 PM

sweet idea

Good luck with the league

Although:

I though that it was spelled Connaught, not CONNACHT

Athlone

boilermaker · 03-14-2006, 09:32 PM

Much, much, much appreciated, knuckler, and Professor!

Thanks, canadiancreed. Is it Connaught? Thanks for the headsup.

Man, talk of all this, plus it being the week of St. Patrick's Day, and by coincidence the latest book I've checked out of the public library is Irish-history related, and I'm quite in the Irish frame of mind right now.

indeed. Combo of the g/f going on about the holiday (her fam is from the Isle so), and drinking this bottle of Bushmills helps too.

And I think it can be spelled either way according to Wikipedia. I'd jsut check the regional page and go from there

It's actually Connacht, but it's sometimes rendered Connaught in English.

due to the spelling of a certain sound that's no longer used in the language I've read. KInd of like the words laugh, the ugh part.

Meh, looks better with the ugh at the end IMO

Malleus Dei · 03-15-2006, 01:25 AM

Whatever, but when I was there all the signs read "Connacht."

knuckler · 03-15-2006, 08:51 PM

Not sure if you'll like this or not, but I used the crest from the GAA and added crossed bats to it.

Meath:

Not super original, but slightly different. I'm also going to re-do that Cubs one to fix up the circle which looks a little sloppy.

boilermaker · 03-15-2006, 10:02 PM

Aw, much thanks!

Yeah, I think when I was looking up for reasonable nicknames to some of the teams, I just used already existing ones for Gaelic football/hurling teams, so I guess there's already material out there to work with as far as logos/shields/etc. go?

knuckler · 03-15-2006, 11:22 PM

Cork:
