Ralph Clairborne is likely going to be old enough to perhaps play in your IPA either in 1981 or 1982, I think. Andrew Freeman will probably be old enough to play in your IPA either in 1982 or 1983. Carl won't likely be old enough until 1984, at the earliest. Just so you know.

I think Loch Tamranth will be in the middle of the dark green area on the applicable colored maps, and Buxline Pond may be between where the light green and dark green areas are on the applicable maps, as well. I'm probably going to want to avoid using special characters as much as possible for certain names, however, but we'll have to see about that here, of course.

I'll see what I can perhaps use for the above names here, but it may take a bit of time to place certain geographical features on the map, at the very least, you know. Please stay tuned, either to this thread or your thread, if not both threads here, for future potential relevant developments related to the needed map or maps. Perhaps we can get some help from Sizeman21 here as well, for instance, but then again, maybe we won't be able to, in truth, of course, jg2977. CD out.

[jg2977]

I like your names too. Loch Tamranth and Buxline Pond certainly work for me.

Since it looks like we won't have another one of your created players until 1981, I'll add in my own over the next couple of years. I will want to fill the gaps of lineups that have weak .150 hitters. I have started doing that anyway.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Actually, it should be Loch Tamrath, it seems, according to my notes, if I'm not too mistaken here. No matter, though, in any case.

Bay St. Clair is going to be just a bit south of New Yerby, and the city's going to be to the southeast of it, it seems, as well. I will certainly need to know just which cities you might currently want as potential capitals of either nation, if La Claire and Forest City are both in the same nation on this map or these maps I'm currently working on, per my suggestion for divisional assignments of teams in your IPA. And I'd also like to know what areas of the two countries you'd like to see those potential national capitals each in, as well, if possible. Please let me know, jg2977, as you like and can, within reason, of course. Thank you. CD out.

I do know that one of my teams' ballparks is called Capitol Stadium, I'll just have to check on my home computer to see what that is. Therefore that city should definitely be one of the capitals. I'll make a decision on the other city too.

What would you think about renaming the Tuckanarra Tiger Cats? I was thinking the Tuckanarra Blue Jays. That's what they were in EC's IPA when it first began. I still have several cat-themed teams. I've already changed the Kilkenny Cats to the Kilkenny Hops. Then perhaps you could make your own version of uniforms for the Tuckanarra Blue Jays, in case you haven't already. Then I can put one of the future Freeman rivals on Tuckanarra.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I'd like to see what EC has for the Glasco Foxhounds, in truth. I haven't seen any of the items he has for them yet, I believe. Glasco is likely to start playing, or is starting to play, as the Foxhounds, in one or more of my dynasties, if they haven't already started to play in it or them, in fact. The Celtics and/or Athletics nicknames for them may be used later, or for other teams in the relevant areas in them, if they're not already in use, of course.

I'll try to have at least a few more Sugar Valley Rattlers-related items somehow made up for at least you, me, and/or EC, if not others as well, by the end of this week here, if at all possible and all. But don't be all that surprised here if that doesn't actually happen somehow quite as quickly as I'm hoping it would here, jg2977.

It might help, however, if I had some new logos to work with using the appropriate new colors and all that I used earlier when I created my first take or takes on new items for the Rattlers, I think. Maybe you could request some brand-new logos for us all to work with around here, or not? CD out.

[jg2977]

Here's a nice logo I found. I know it says 2001 and my league started in 1901, but I don't care about that, unless I wait until I rename them until 2001, but that's a long ways away.

La Claire should be a capital for my one of my nations. Their ballpark is called Capitol Park Stadium

La Claire Lynx

Tycobbian Baseball Union

West Division

Owner: The Rip Calkin Sports Foundation and Enterprises
GM/Manager: Flash Devlin

La Claire is the capital of Tycobbia and its largest town with a population of 120,000, second largest in the Islands. It is located in the central section of the country on the meandering Appian River, which cuts through two thirds of the country, flowing from the Appian Mountains in the north near North Hills, southward to Hartsdale, through the capital, then down to Bay St. Clair and empties into the bay there.

The town was established in the 1850s by a group of American abolitionists from the North and the South, who saw the coming Civil War. They wanted to set up a country free from slavery and religious intolerance.

La Claire is an enchanting town of the old, mixed with the new. The State Capitol and governmental offices are in the center of Capitol Park, which is the center of the town. Lush greenery is everywhere, with the new modern section at the edge of town, which houses the movers and shakers of Tycobbia's business, financial, banking and automotive worlds.

La Claire is also home to the La Claire Lynx of the Islandian Pro Alliance. The Lynx play in the Tycobbian Baseball Union West Division. The club plays at Capitol Park Stadium, a charming old ballpark constructed in 1923. Spectators get a spectacular view of the State Capitol over the right field fence and can see the new developing part of town in the distance beyond the left field fence. Most of the food and drink at the ballpark are typical, except for the ìDippy Dogsî, a gourmet wiener, dipped in a maize/corn batter and fried. It is unique to State Capitol Park and is especially tasty, when the meal includes a refreshing cup of freshly-squeezed pink lemonade.

Before and after a Lynx game, fans can enjoy the fine restaurants, diners and shops on the shore of the Appian River. Movie theaters, old-fashioned soda fountains, concert halls and fashionable night clubs are in abundance, too. All within easy walking distance.

Rip Calkin, famed shortstop in his industrial league career, noted for rarely missing a game, started up the Lynx... the team is now run by the Rip Calkin Sports Foundation and Enterprises... the current head of team operations is Flash Devlin, one of La Claire's IPA Hall of Fame players... Devlin was a 13-time All-Star with a .317 career batting average... he had 3261 hits with 559 homers, 1779 RBIs and 1995 runs, playing 19 seasons in La Claire from 2013 to 2031... Devlin was voted into the Islandian Pro Alliance Hall of Fame in 2038.

I think I have that Tuckanarra Blue Jays logo already. But it would need to have a 1901 date on it, at least, I think, at some point. As would any logo with a date after 1901, for applicable teams, of course.

As for the above description for the La Claire Lynx, that's from EC's IPA, you know. But we'd have to revise the team and town history and all, for La Claire here, for your IPA, once we figure out what things would logically be like in and around La Claire here, for sure.

I'm sure you could handle the matters of IPA-related statistical history, at least, when it comes to La Claire, and/or all the other relevant teams, jg2977. As for the related town histories and all, we'd likely need to have some help to work them out once we have all the necessary details put on the required map or maps and all, I think.

Okay, so La Claire is a potential area, if not national, capital here, then, it seems. It would have to be somewhere in the pink area of the map(s), if it were in the southern country along with Forest City. Forest City would be somewhere in the red area for the southern country, when it comes to the proposed overall realignment for the IPA here, as well.

I'm thinking that perhaps Forest City could be somewhere near Kelowna, a bit inland from the coast, but not so far as to be close to the pink area on the relevant maps. Maybe somewhere near the Great Lakes, even, for both those places?

Fairfax could perhaps be near or on the Great Lakes, as well, in the red area of the relevant maps. I could perhaps see a rivalry forming between them and one of the other teams in the proposed new arrangement for the TU West, although I'm not sure just which team might be their toughest rival of the other nine teams in that division.

As for Glasco's rivals, if they were to remain the Celtics, if we thought about this logically enough, perhaps the Bayview Vikings could be their most difficult rivals in the future, seeing as in real-world history, the Vikings and Celtics most likely never really got along well with each other for a very long time.

Oxford could have Blue Lake as their chief rival, as long as both kept their respective Red Caps and Blue Caps nicknames, of course. Ginza versus Colchester or Belle Plaine might be interesting to see here as well, I think. And, of course, Kilkenny versus either Glasco or Sligo could be a significant rivalry here, if I'm not too mistaken here at all, jg2977.

Talk more later, as time permits and all, I'm sure. Lord willing and all, of course, that is. Thank you for your time and attention and all here, then, as always. CD out.

[jg2977]

I'm not planning on changing anybody's nicknames, except for Tuckanarra. I would like them to be named the Blue Jays. I don't care about the 2001 on the logo. If you could make uniforms for them that would be great. No rush, just take your time getting them right.

I can remove the 2001 date from the logo... I can put it in paint and use the eraser to remove it... I can just white it out... won't take much time.

That will work - thank you in advance!

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

IF you could do that, it would be quite helpful, I think, for both of us, EC. And I'm sure we'd both also really appreciate it, too, come to think of it.

Am making some progress on the needed map or maps for his version of the IPA, but there are still a lot of places to name and all, for sure. However, once we get everything new set up as needed and desired, his IPA should be a good deal different from what it's already been so far. He's going to have a lot of land to work with here, for instance, too.

So far, jg2977 seems to like much, if not all, of what he's seeing of the maps and all. Whether we'll ever get good-quality physical maps and all made for his IPA, that remains to be seen, of course. But so far, I think they're off to a good start, in any case here, for sure.

Talk more soon, I hope, of course. Thank you for your time and all, as always, EC. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

jg2977, hopefully these additional items will meet sufficiently with your approval here, of course. If you want or need even more items for the Rattlers made by me either now or later on, whether or not we get some new logos for Sugar Valley, perhaps I can then make at least a few more of them for you, me, and/or EC, at least, to use periodically, when time allows and all, you know. That is all. CD out.

[jg2977]

Those are definitely sufficient for the Sugar Valley Rattlers. Once EC updates the Tuckanarra Blue Jays logo you can do that one. They should probably be the same colors as the Toronto Blue Jays. Blue and white.

Nice job on the Rattlers jerseys. They're simple and clean with a nice font.

I like the current Rattlers logo, so I won't be asking for a new design.

[Eugene Church]

Tuckanarra Blue Jays Primary Logo done beautifully by knuckler about 7 years ago.

I included a Secondary Logo just in case you don't have it.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Thank you, EC. The first one should work quite well, or at least for the most part, with or without further alteration, and the second one could easily be modified to eliminate the maple leaf as well, if desired, I think. As for the stars on the first, those can easily be changed too, if needed, for sure, so that a different arrangement of stars can be present there as appropriate and all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here are some prospective Cudestelt Saints items. More will be in other posts for this thread, just as soon as I get them uploaded and all, of course, folks. The other ones will have gradients for them, mind you, but these ones won't, at least.

The current color and font-related information for this team is as follows:

f7f7f2 Baby Powder (247, 247, 242)
87bcde Aero (135, 188, 222)
2f3494 Blue Pigment (47, 52, 148)
1d2f6f St. Patricks Blue (29, 47, 111)
255c99 Lapis Lazuli (37, 92, 153)
b0d7ff Baby Blue Eyes (176, 215, 255)

The font currently in use for these items, although I wanted to use the cursive font that Lawn Loaf used on at least one of the items he made for me on my birthday, is Rochester. Unfortunately, I couldn't actually manage to identify the font in question sufficiently well here. So I instead tried to find another font that might work well enough here, even if it didn't look at least a bit like the font used for the away item or items Lawn Loaf did for me about a month and a half ago, in truth.

Will post more items for Cudestelt in just a little while, for sure, in any case. That is all for this post, at least, then. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Before I get back to posting more items for Cudestelt, though, I'd like to post a few items I just made for another prospective team for the league that will likely include the Vanderbilt Muskrats, for instance, in the near future. That team will be the Yakuksin Cardinals, in fact. While I'll no doubt need to work on this team more, among any number of other teams, of course, here's what I still have made so far for them.

The color and font-related information for this particular team at present is as follows:

a31621 Ruby Red (163, 22, 33)
bfdbf7 Beau Blue (191, 219, 247)
815355 Tuscan Red (129, 83, 85)

The font currently used for these items is Strait. I'll most likely have to change it later, or make other items for this team that don't have text using that font, though, I think. That is all for this post, then, most likely. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

And here are even more Cudestelt Saints-related items that I've made here so far, this time with gradients, even. That is all. CD out.
