Let me know if you like them.

[Eugene Church]

Here is a Blue cap for all the jerseys.
Hope you like it.

[Eugene Church]

Here is the Lubbock Ranchers set.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

What font or fonts did you use? Just curious, that's all. Any progress on Lubbock, as well? Please let me know. And I think as long as OOTP can keep putting out games, and as long as we're both able to play, it's still at least somewhat possible that we'll never stop creating and/or playing dynasties, when and if we're able to play, EC. Lord willing and all, of course. Thank you for your help here so far with the Ranchers and the Gunners, in any case, for that matter.

There are still a good number of modders here who do great work if and whenever possible on these forums, even if many others are no longer active, at least, on them, if they're still alive in this world of ours. Txranger is still one of the absolute best modders for graphics who's currently active around here, if not the absolute best of them, I think. Although I don't think it's very likely that he'll ever do any more work for me that I might request, due to my unfortunate earlier misbehavior from years ago, I still hope that he'll eventually change his mind and at least think about doing more work for me later on, if and when he wishes to do so. Among any number of others around any of these forums around here who I no doubt upset greatly back then, without ever meaning to in the first place, obviously enough.

I have no doubt whatsoever here that he could most definitely do certain team and/or league-related items for me here quite well, if and when he ever wanted to, but I'm not counting on that happening any time soon, if ever, for sure. That'd be entirely up to him here, of course. As it would be for anyone else on these forums who'd gotten rather upset by my bad behavior with all the requests I made earlier when I was still rather new to them here, I'm sure.

These items for Boston from you here look really good, and I will certainly use them soon, if nobody else provides better items that would most likely match my current preferences better for them here, EC. The next team that I'll want items for will be mentioned later in my WLAB-related graphics thread, once the Lubbock Ranchers and the Boston Gunners are fully outfitted here as needed and all, in any case. Thinking that items related to either the Mobsters or Cheetahs will be next to be requested here, at the moment, in direct relation to the WLAB, most likely. CD out.

Okay, thanks for the away uniforms for Lubbock. I'll just need the home uniforms, one mostly in white, and one mostly in tan, I think, EC, and the relevant primary logo at 300x300 in size, most likely, and then they'll be done for a good while longer now, unless someone else provides higher-quality work than either you or I can currently do ourselves here. CD out.

CD, you already have the home versions for the Ranchers... the name didn't have to be changed on them... Ranchers is already there... but I may have to make the sleeve image larger for you.

Lubbock Ranchers with larger sleeve image.

Albertson is the font for the Lubbock Ranchers.

CD, it tough to get personal requests done these days... yes, some people have not forgiven you for the earlier problems... 450 people looked at the thread I started for you... I think pouiy was the only one that helped out... he posted the wordmark for the Ranchers.

Keep in mind your request are too complex and complicated... that is another reason I'm about the only one who will do them for you.

If you want to get a personal request done, keep the instructions simple.

Many people now use the wonderful software by justafan and eriqjaffe for their graphics... but not a lot of us are skilled like the great graphics folks of a few years ago.

I can also understand if they got burned out on doing requests... knuckler and txranger did a bunch just for me... they also did a lot for a lot of other people.

That Retro Thread is really something... txranger keeps it going... it has almost 3,000,000 views... that is by far, the most of any thread I know of.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Thank you very much, EC. Now I just need at least one logo with or without the Lubbock lettering included for the Ranchers, with the primary being 300x300 pixels in size, and any possible secondary or alternate logos being at 150x150 pixels in size, if not already made here, I think, to complete the Lubbock Ranchers, if nobody else produces anything of better quality here for them.

I'm still hoping someone can do better on the Gunners than you have, or I have, of course, but it's entirely up to them all here, if they even want to try to do so and all, you know. As for whether anyone has forgiven me yet for my earlier bad behavior who was then really upset by it, that's up to them, if they're still around, and haven't done it yet. I have no control whatsoever over such things here, at least as far as it comes to them all here, for sure. That sort of thing is between them and God, at least, in any case, and I can't force them to do so if they don't want to, for sure. While I do hope they'll eventually forgive me here, that's not something I have any control over here, quite obviously.

Txranger is still quite amazing at what he does around here, and I honestly think he'll still continue to be that here, for at least as long as God grants him the full ability to do the wonderful work that he does here for many on these forums. As far as the views on that thread you just mentioned here, a lot of them are from me, for sure, just so you know.

I'm trying to make things as simple as I can, but as you know, it's often very hard for me to do, whenever I make requests or post about various things. I suppose I'll eventually install at least 23, if not also at least 24, sometime later on, when several more things are better settled for me in the future, and when and if I have a chance to find the time and the desire and all to do so, on a new computer later on, if possible and all.

As far as the Cheetahs, I'll post the relevant details soon, I believe, for them. As far as the football and basketball and hockey-related teams for the relevant multisport franchises, those related teams won't be starting earlier than roughly 1915 or so, I think, so logos and/or uniforms with or without appropriate headwear won't likely be needed in certain dynasties yet, if so. While I might want certain baseball teams' looks to be at least somewhat influenced by teams, whether real or fictional, in non-baseball-related sports, of course, the baseball teams will be the ones first part of the relevant multisport franchises for my Where Legends Are Born dynasty, for sure, in any case.

Here's the list of teams and/or overall league(s) I'll most likely need at least some items made for in the near future, folks, if not already sufficiently taken care of here:

Cincinnati Cheetahs (Relevant information will be posted in the WLAB-related graphics request thread)
Chicago Mobsters (See Cheetahs note above)
Chicago Butchers (See Cheetahs note above)
Tampa Bay Rogues (See Cheetahs note above)

@-@-@->>>>

Lakewood Blue Crabs (Relevant information will be posted in a Total Baseball Scramble 001-related graphics related thread, once the above teams are all done)
Yuma Heatwave (See Blue Crabs note above)
Helena Millionaires (See Blue Crabs note above)
Harrisburg Keystones (Based on hurricanekevin's logo from one or more of his graphics threads, need appropriate uniforms and caps only, most likely, see Blue Crabs note above)
Liberty And Freedom League (League logos in appropriate sizes, see Blue Crabs note above)

After all these other team and league-related graphics are each done well enough here, I think that should do me for a while, if enough goes sufficiently well for me and mine in the near future, especially if I'm able to get more of my writing-related work, at least, done in it somehow easily enough. At least as far as it comes to team and/or league-related graphics work, that is, folks, I think.

Thank you for your time and attention and all here, and I hope to be able to resume coverage of the relevant dynasties very soon, of course. Here's hoping I can do so at least once here, if not more than once, by sometime around the middle of March or so, at the latest. Lord willing and all, that is. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I normally prefer fonts with at least 250 characters and/or glyphs for them, so that I can use the diacritical marks and all with them. Unfortunately, Albertson evidently doesn't have them here for it, it seems. But there are still many other similar fonts to it that do have such characters/glyphs present for them, for sure, which I do happen to have at the present time, if I'm not too mistaken about such here. Also Albertson seems to be only for personal use, and can't be used for commercial items without a license. I prefer to use 100 percent free fonts if and whenever possible, for sure, that could potentially be utilized for commercial use, in truth.

Thanks for all your help so far here on the Ranchers and Gunners, in any case, EC and/or others here, of course. Still hoping for better options related to both above teams here, though, just the same, for sure. Talk more soon, I hope. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Am still hoping someone can make me a suitably useful forums-related avatar based on the large picture seen on page 198, because I'd like to perhaps change the avatar seen next to my posts soon, if possible, to a version of that picture. I've tried doing it myself, but so far, I've not had any success in that regard here, unfortunately.

I've been able to put it as my profile picture, but it still won't allow me to use a version of the same picture as my forums avatar here, unfortunately, for some yet-unknown reason or reasons here, folks. Any ideas why that might be the case here, somehow? CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here are some pictures and a prompt to start with here, in possible relation to the Mobsters, for some uniforms and all, folks. Their main team-related influence should be a hypothetical football-style version of the Chicago Hitmen, whether such a football team has ever existed in reality in or around the Chicago area of Illinois or not, I think, with perhaps some minor influence from the Chicago Enforcers sports team as well, if possible.

Anyway, here is the related text prompt used to generate the pictures below, or at least a text prompt that is most likely rather close to it, through the dream.ai website:

Chicago Mobsters mostly circular baseball logo, menacing mobsters holding big baseball bats in stylish fedoras & full-body suits & trousers & dress shoes, mostly in black & white & brown & navy, mostly gothic-style text, Art Nouveau-style urban Chicago night setting, eerie-looking moon, insanely detailed, ultrarealistic, waist-up view

The gothic-style text mentioned is my callback here to the Chicago White Sox's usual text style used for many of their previous historical and/or current team-related looks, for your information. Just so you know, folks. CD out.

P.S. Please feel quite free to design items for this team as you like, of course, folks. That is all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Lubbock looks much better in their new uniforms and caps, and so does Boston, compared to what they had before, I think, for the Ranchers and the Gunners, respectively. All Lubbock needs is updated logos, most likely, in that case, unless someone can and would do better work than either of us has done or can do at this time around here for them, EC, it seems to me. Thank you for working on them here, for sure, in any case. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I can't wait to see what other people might then be able to come up well enough with for the Cincinnati Cheetahs and the Chicago Mobsters and any of the other mentioned entities that still need at least some items done for them here, of course. But hopefully, whatever is made later on, if anything at all, it should all work quite well in the relevant leagues and/or dynasties here, somehow. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

More AI-generated Tampa Bay Rogues-related pictures for possible inspiration here. That is all. CD out.

P.S. Made at usual place with text prompt like this, if not exactly like this:

Tampa Bay Rogues baseball logo, stylized serious young adult male rogue in 1900's-style roguish attire wearing 1900's-style baseball cap with long hair & brown eyes & long baseball bat mostly in black & bright orange & green & yellow & dark red on large silver square logo, dark stylish bandanna, insanely detailed, ultrarealistic, waist-up view

That is all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

The next two posts should hopefully give you a better idea of what I'm thinking of along the lines of the Chicago Butchers, in terms of their colors and all, folks. As there are more than five pictures I'll be posting here, I'll have to put them in at least two posts here, of course. The related text prompt or prompts are as follows, in any case, though, just so you know:

Chicago Butchers baseball logo, butchers holding big baseball bats in aprons & corduroys & boots, mostly in black & white & light blue & navy & red, mostly Gilded Age-style blocky text, Art Nouveau-style urban Chicago butcher shop setting, cutting boards on counter, well-illuminated, insanely detailed, ultrarealistic, waist-up view

Chicago Butchers baseball logo, butchers holding big baseball bats in aprons & corduroys & boots, meat cleavers, mostly in black & white & light blue & navy & red, mostly Gilded Age-style blocky text, Art Nouveau-style urban Chicago butcher shop setting, cutting boards on counter, well-illuminated, insanely detailed, ultrarealistic, waist-up view

Of course, you can certainly take the looks of this team anywhere you might wish to, either based on these AI-generated pictures or not, but they'll somehow hopefully still give you at least a bit of an idea here of just what I might generally be looking for more here, in terms of logos and all for them, folks. Thank you for your time and attention and all here. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Next batch of pictures related to the Butchers. That is all. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

CD, I will do a Lubbock Ranchers logo for you.

That should complete both Lubbock and Boston.

Why do you need 300 x 300?... 150 x 150 is what the game uses.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Most primary logos that I've seen to date for leagues and/or teams have likely been that size, if memory serves me correctly enough, while the secondary ones or alternate ones have most often been 150x150, if that's so as well. The game can use both sizes where appropriate and all, in multiple versions of OOTP, at least through OOTP 22, from what I've seen so far. But logos larger than 300x300 often are too large for suitable enough use, while ones smaller than 150x150 are often too small to make out easily enough as needed, I think, for various reasons, at certain times.

Boston's Gunners are now done, unless someone else can do better items for them here somehow. Lubbock's Ranchers also will be done with at least one more logo, with or without lettering included, unless the same thing is also true in relation to items for them, of course. Thank you again for all your help here so far with both teams, EC. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

150 x 150 works fine in the game for both primary and secondary logos.

The game revises the size of the logo based on what screen it is used on.
Team primary logos are large (150 x 150) on the team home page, but smaller versions are on other screens like league standings and team home page.

I personally prefer logos that are plain and simple in design for the secondary logos... fancy ones do not look good when reduced in the game... Just a simple Letter for the Team name or a plain logo image without any lettering looks much better in the game in my opinion.
