I don't understand why your jerseys are so dark.

My jerseys don't look like that.

I see you must enlarge the picture... could that cause it.

[jg2977]

I'm not sure why it's dark. I don't think it's because my photos are enlarged on the forum. It's showing up dark in my game too. There must be some settings on my computer that I need to change.

I downloaded CD's Eastshore uniforms and they look good, so problem solved.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

jg2977, please pick at least two or three of these colors that you'd prefer I use for my take on South Fork's Stallions, if you don't actually want me to use all of them, in any or all of my prospective team-related designs for them. Once you do, I'll see what I can come up with for them as soon as I can and all.

I am thinking of trying to do a prospective Sugar Valley Rattlers set as well, but haven't ultimately decided to yet. But if I do, I was thinking of possibly using at least two or three of these colors when I do so for them, if not all of them and/or other colors as well:

https://coolors.co/f6d0b1-8661c1-e7dfc6-4b5267

Please let me know what you think of me perhaps using these colors for a prospective Sugar Valley Rattlers set, just as soon as you can and all, if and when you like. Thank you. CD out.

Feel free to use all of the colors for Sugar Valley. I like them all. Please use whatever combination you like. I especially like the eggplant color.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

What about the proposed colors for South Fork, EC and/or jg2977? Please advise, if and when you like and all here. EC, what do you perhaps think of the proposed colors for Sugar Valley, to reduce the potential oversaturation of red in either your IPA or jg2977's? Would like to know what you think. Thank you both for your time and attention and all here, then. CD out.

[jg2977]

There are a lot of uniforms based on the the color red in our IPA's, but I don't think it's an issue. Red is one of the most popular colors. As long as the uniforms look good than I don't mind.

[Eugene Church]

CD, just use the colors jg2977 likes... don't worry about me.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Just trying to be kind and all here, EC, to both of you, at least, if not to others as well. That's all. Might even try doing more teams than the ones already mentioned. If I can't somehow find enough good graphics for them on the forums, I'll let you know. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

CD, I posted some new South Fork graphics on jg2977's thread on the Mods Forum... I tried to match the San Francisco 49'ers colors... Dark Red (Crimson) and Gold with some Black trim... I tried to match the colors on the 49'ers logo.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here's what I have made for South Fork's Stallions so far, EC and jg2977. Please let me know what you think of them, if and when you like and can. And if you might also have any good and reasonable enough suggestions to perhaps make them even better than they might already be now, please do feel quite free to make them, within fair and just reason and all, of course.

The font in question is Mesquito SF, and the colors used here are as follows, with the appropriate color-related information, in any case:

d7d9ce Timberwolf (215, 217, 206)
bdad51 Vegas Gold (189, 173, 81)
5d4457 Eggplant (93, 68, 87)
a76050 Redwood (167, 96, 80)
4e5760 Black Coral (78, 87, 96)
8b8075 Middle Gray (139, 128, 117)

I may very well try to do new items for even more IPA/EBF teams, even if you're no longer using certain team names in your versions of the IPA, EC. For instance, you are no longer using Athletics for the team called Glasco in at least one of your IPAs, but I likely will. I have some ideas in mind for at least seven teams that I may not yet have either found or made items for, including Glasco, but I've not yet figured out just how I want each of those teams to look exactly.

It's quite unlikely that they'll look at least half as good, if not better than that, as certain items done long ago by some of the real graphics masters here on these very forums, of course, in my view here. But I might still try to do certain looks for certain teams, in any case, just so you know, folks.

Talk more later, as time permits and all, I'm quite sure. Lord willing and all, that is, no doubt. That's all for now, then, I think. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here's my take so far on the Southport Gold Sox, because that's what I'll be starting Southport as in my non-public version or versions of the IPA and/or my public versions of the Eudageron Baseball Federation, folks. While I haven't yet found any logo images, at least, that I think might work well enough with them for sure, I at least have now made these uniforms and caps here, in any case.

The font used on the home items is Spirax, while the font used on the away items is Daisy Regular. The color-related information for my take on this team using the Gold Sox nickname for itself is currently as follows:

e0bb2a Gold Metallic (224, 187, 42)
23308d Cosmic Cobalt (35, 48, 141)
424242 Onyx (66, 66, 66)
cdcdcd Light Gray (205, 205, 205)
f0dcc8 Almond (240, 220, 200)

I'll certainly have to work on this team more, I'm quite sure. But at least I have these items here for them, in any case, of course. Please feel free to comment as you like and can within fair and just reason and all, as always, folks. Thank you all for your time and attention and all here, then. That is all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here's my take on the Glasco Athletics so far, in terms of items for them, at least. I'll probably need to work on them more later, of course, but at least I have these items here, for sure.

The font used on the home items is Bridgnorth, while the font used on the away items is Blenda Script. The color-related information as it currently stands is as follows here:

01256a Royal Blue Dark (1, 37, 106)
c8102e Red NCS (200, 16, 46)
ffcd00 Cyber Yellow (255, 205, 0)
7de1c3 Medium Aquamarine (125, 225, 195)

Please feel free to comment as you like and can, within fair and just enough reason and all, of course, everyone. Thank you for your time and attention and all here, then. I'll talk more later, as time permits and all, I'm sure. Lord willing and all, that is, you know. That's all for now, then, I think. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Actually, some of my dynasties might start with Glasco being the Foxhounds, and some with them being the Athletics. In any case, I still have some Athletics-related items, if I go that route to start in certain dynasties, or at least one dynasty, if not more than one, anyway. I don't seem to have any for the Foxhounds yet, it seems, but I'll certainly do some digging around here. If I can't find any usable enough items for them, which I highly doubt will be the case here, I can certainly try to make some here, you know, folks. That is all for now, I think, then. CD out.

[jg2977]

The Glasco Athletics uniforms are definitely a bit out there, especially the home jerseys. I kind of like it as a futuristic kind of look. I'll use them from time to time as alternate jerseys.

Your South Fork uniforms are nice, but not exactly the colors I had in mind for that franchise. I like EC's simplistic San Francisco 49ers type look. I'll be willing to use yours as alternates though.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

You had Glasco as the Athletics before, if I remember correctly. Maybe you can use the above items as an updated look for the team if they have Athletics-themed games, at times, when you don't use their original Athletics-related items, you two. The colors come from each location's era of the MLB's Athletics franchise with one other color added in, it seems to me. Blue for Philadelphia, red for Kansas City, and yellow for Oakland, plus the other color just mentioned here. Just so you both know this here, of course. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Certain looks for certain teams are currently still works in progress here, jg2977 and EC. Both for any of your teams or mine, in fact. There are several teams you recently requested items for earlier from txranger, as well, EC, that have not yet been done fully, which I may try to tackle myself later on.

The Ranford Bulls, for example, if I remember correctly, is one of those teams. While I may not get to each team that still possibly needs to be updated from your recent graphics request threads for at least a little while, I might get to them later, if they've not yet been fully attended to by then, EC. Just so you both know this here well enough, you two. That is all for now, at least, then, I think. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here's what I have now, or plan to have often, if not always, for my overall framework for the IPA/EBF, whether the leagues below are in a promotion/relegation-type setup or as a major league/minor league-type setup. That's if each of the overall leagues aren't actually separate leagues of their own in that aforementioned framework, of course.

That would be my basic setup, at least with 96 teams in the mix for it, at least at the start of things, that is. With 120, I'd have another overall league with two subleagues that have six teams per division for each. For 144 teams, I'd have six overall leagues, with the same size for each, and the same basic details, of course. I'd have no more than 24 teams per level, at least when it came to professional teams under that framework.

Amateur teams, such as college and/or high school leagues, for instance, however, of course, wouldn't necessarily follow the same basic guidelines here, for sure. They might be configured differently and all, you know, at times, jg2977.

Talk much more later as time permits and all, Lord willing and all, I'm sure. But not right now, I think, in any case. Thank you for your time and all here, and I hope you think about the above details and all here at least a little bit, if not a great deal, as well, for that matter, jg2977. CD out.

[jg2977]

Your proposed league looks fine to me. I think you need to start playing it and writing about it. You'll probably have lots of good storylines.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Note that several of those names come from former Cardinals and/or former Yankees. I thought since both the Cardinals and Yankees are arguably the two most storied franchises in the entire history of the game, at least in terms of overall World Series championships at this point in time, it might not be a bad idea at all to name certain divisions after certain players who played for them in their respective careers.

I'm not saying that certain other teams aren't themselves at least somewhat well-storied as well in their own histories, of course. But I just want to recognize the simple fact here that the Yankees and Cardinals each have the most World Series titles won to date in each of their respective leagues, that's all, in terms of naming certain divisions after certain famous players who may or may not have actually played for either franchise so honored here. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

All I really need to start playing it majorly enough are certain graphics, it seems. Many of which I am currently in the middle of creating or looking for on the forums, if I don't already have them collected on my computer, jg2977. And I think at least a few of the Sligo Rovers-related items I've made might look good in-game when contrasted with certain other teams' looks, for instance.

I've certainly made hundreds of graphics for at least a fairly good while, if not at least a thousand or more, by now, as you know. And I'll certainly keep working on trying to improve my skills and all, as the Lord leads and as He inspires me and all, I'm sure. I don't know if I'll ever be at least half as good as the real graphics masters here, artistically speaking, at least, but I'll still certainly try to do my best, if and whenever I can, you know, for as long as I can and all, for sure.

I've been able to find at least a good deal more for good graphics related to several IPA teams. But I still haven't been able to find and/or make everything I still might need for them all, whether txranger, knuckler, No Pepper, low, or others have made everything needed for them before or not, unfortunately. Or for certain other teams that I've decided to include in the above IPA/EBF-related framework plans here, in truth.

I think the South Fork Stallions items I did earlier might just work well here, with at least one good logo for them available here to be used. What do you think? Please feel free to let me know, as you like and can, within fair and just reason and all here, then, if you haven't already done so, that is. CD out.
