Negro League Uniforms

Cooleyvol · 03-31-2007, 11:19 PM

Figured I might as well contribute to these great uniforms that are being pounded out.

I'll update this as I complete new sets. Hopefully this won't take more than a couple of days working at it a bit at a time.

ashantewarrier · 04-01-2007, 02:55 AM

Can't wait to get my hands on these!

acetonic · 04-01-2007, 03:05 AM

These look awesome. Great job!

Killebrew · 04-01-2007, 03:31 AM

Good job Mark

Thanks to all. This is a lot more involved than doing an historical white league, IMO. The logos arent readily available and researching the jerseys is a bit time consuming (thanks ebbets.com), but I'll eventually get them done. when I can't find the logo, I have to try to find a decent picture of a jersey and lift the jersey art from it, so it won't be bang, bang, bang and they're done like some of these minor or historical league sets that some are popping out. If I can't find the jersey art to lift, I'm having to match up fonts which really takes a while, but they will get done.

Wow, Cooley, this is good stuff. I may have to ADD the negro leagues to my Fictional Historical league, just because of these uni's.

Jordan · 04-01-2007, 01:31 PM

Great job Cooley.

dcpcarmona · 04-01-2007, 01:36 PM

2 more teams to complete and then I'll get this uploaded so it can be downloaded if anyone has any interest in having it.

sporr · 04-01-2007, 05:24 PM

Nice Cooley! I'll be using that Homestead Grays logo for our Maelstrom team. Thanks!

Cooleyvol · 04-01-2007, 05:27 PM

And with the Lincoln Giants and Philadelphia Stars completed, this pack is done. Its been sent to PadreFan's site so that all may enjoy it if they wish to.

I had a lot of fun doing these, even though it took some digging to find pictures of these jerseys. All are as historically correct as possible.

Jeremy Weimer · 04-01-2007, 05:38 PM

Those are awesome.

PadresFan · 04-01-2007, 05:38 PM

Uploading to the site right now... Thanks Cooleyvol!

Great job! Now if we can just figure out a way to have a true Negro League.

Hammer755 · 04-01-2007, 06:42 PM

Beautiful set Mark.

You could do the following:

1. create a new nation in the nation.txt with 100% ethnicity1 with the enthnicity group being 38 as an example. This is the vietnamese group if you have a vietnamese league or want players from this country then choose another.

2. modify the ethnicity.txt to 100% African for the group you are using.
delete the cities in the cities.txt for the old country. bring the cities file into access and get the american cities, change the 206 to the new nation code, export the records to a text file, cut the records and paste them to the end of the cities file.

3. modify the names files assoicated to that new ethnic group to include only the US name file set (set 0) to the new group. Just delete the names in the ethnic group, first and last names files. Now you need to bring the names list into excel, replace the names files ethnic code from 0 to the new one. Cut the records and paste them into the names list.

This will give you players with modern names in an all African ethnic group with birth nation as all african with us cities.....

With Access and Excel this is not that difficult - could be done in a couple of hours (creating the new files) but once done this could be posted on PadresFans site. One side note, there would just have to be a judgement on which nation to use and which ehtnic group because you would have to make sure that no other nations use the ethnic group or that the nation is one that you would want to draw a player base from.

This probably will work because I am doing something similar to this for my all US born, US States as a Nation Leagues....

Regards,

Steve

Wow! Thanks.

SandMan · 04-01-2007, 07:07 PM

Almost forgot - for the league setup set the foreigner % to 0 created and with 0 foreigners allowed on the team roster. This will keep your league clear of white faces......
