SBC (Predecessor of SRL) Champions going into 1877 season

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Shown below will be what I currently have for the Poltragow Poets.

I would like the following items, if possible, for the team just mentioned:

Home cap [Designer's choice]
Road/Away cap [Designer's choice]
Primary logo [Designer's choice]
Secondary logo [Designer's choice]
1871-1910 era style preferred
Poets in red text, properly centered and angled on the sash, similar to how the New York Rangers often have their team nickname or location on their uniforms, for the home uniform
Poltragow across the chest in pale green, if possible, for the road/away uniform

Team Colors preferred:

Red (e62813 [230, 40, 19])
Pale green (99e6d1 [153, 230, 209])
Dark blue/purple (4648be [70, 72, 190])
Yellow-green (c3ca68 [195, 202, 104])

If you feel the need to do so, however, you can adjust the colors a little, to make things look better. Either to slightly lighten or slightly darken them, that is, if you like.

Fonts preferred:

Poetsen One on home items
King Richard on road/away items

If you feel certain other fonts might help make the team's overall set items look better, at least to some degree, however, feel free to choose them as you see fit.

Thank you for your time, for anyone who might be willing to help me out here, if you choose to do this team's set. CD out.

P.S. Didn't use any shading or shadows or textures to make the pictures, originally, either with the Jersey Creator or with MS Paint, so it might be a good idea to add them, if and when you so choose. Thank you. CD out.

Sorry, this is way too much... too many words... too many colors... post something like this and you will be right back in the bad situation you are in now.
They won't do complicated requests like this... it is highly unlikely they will even read your post and instructions, much less do the request.

Keep your request very simple and perhaps someone will do it for you.

You should limit your colors to a maximum of two, no more than three... just list general colors... you don't need to give the color index numbers... let the designer create it his way.

Here is all you need to post:

CD needs a set of graphics for one team:
Team Name: Poltragow Poets
Team Colors: Red, Pale Green, Purple... or choose them yourself.
Style: Pre 1910s

Need:
Primary Logo
Secondary Logo
Home Jersey with Poets
Away Jersey with Poltragow
Home Cap with Letter P
Away Cap with Letter P

Keep your request simple and you have a slight chance of getting someone to do it.

[Eugene Church]

CD, make sure you just post ONE THREAD on the Graphics Forum.

Once someone fill a request you could request another... keep your requests and threads to just one at a time on the Graphics Forum.

Do not ask for any changes if someone does a request for you.
Take it the way they do it.
Exception: it is OK to request a change if they indicate a willingness to make changes.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Okay, I'll start ONE Thread called CD's OOTP-Related Requests, or something like that. I'll then start with requesting a set for the Poltragow Poets. Should I show what I have for them so far, when I do? Just wondering, that's all. CD out.

No, it would be better to just post one thread entitled "Need Poltragow Poets".

You don't need to include your name or initials.

Do an individual thread for each team you request... and list the team name and nickname in the thread.

You will have a better chance of having it done that way... just one team in one thread at a time.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Okay, thank you for your suggestion, Eugene. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

Yes, it would be fine to post your sample jerseys.

Just don't go into any detailed instructions... just post the jerseys so they can see the colors and style... nothing else.

[Eugene Church]

Remember CD... keep your posts very simple... keep your words to a minimum... and your requests to a minimum... and they may accept you back on the OOTP Forums.

If you go back to doing what you've done in the past, it will not be good for you.

[Eugene Church]

Good Luck, CD.
I hope some one will do this for you.
Thanks for keeping it simple on the Graphics Forum.

Be patient... it might take a while.
And keep in mind, no one may want to do it.
It is not your normal baseball request... your colors, designs and nicknames are not in the traditional baseball style.

Nicknames like Pirates, Tigers, Panthers, Pioneers are easier nicknames to work with... Poets is a tough one.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I generally do try to stay patient in relation to many things in my life, Eugene. Of course, sometimes, that's not always easy, when those you live with can be rather impatient a great deal of the time in their lives. I'll try to keep things as simple as I can, and do what I can for myself here, so as to hopefully make things as easy for others here as I can, and I have been trying to do that here for a while now.

If I stay patient and all, how many teams and/or leagues do you think I might possibly be able to have done, whether already existing or not in my various dynasties by my birthday in six weeks? Just wondering, that's all. I turn 47 on February 11th, by the way, just so you know, Eugene.

Even if I have to do several of them myself, that is? How many do you think I can do at least some items for, perhaps, or others might be willing to do for me? I'll probably have to try to do a lot of them myself, though, I think.

Talk more later, I'm sure, Lord willing, of course. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

CD, the honest truth is I don't think anyone will do your requests.

If you asked for traditional logos, jerseys and caps like most people do, you might get some done, but you don't... you ask for teams from weird fictional worlds with weird nicknames and weird colors.

Create your own logos, jerseys and caps and be happy with them.
Or use logos, jerseys and caps that have already been created.
Those are your only two choices.

You will never get them done on the OOTP Graphics Forum.
It would be best if you didn't post on it... they will just get mad at you again.

[Eugene Church]

CD, rocknfire7 does good work.
He will do something for you.

Just wait and see what he does... it could be 10 days or two weeks before he does it... that's how long it took him to do a team for me.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I will stay patient. Remember, OOTP is not the only thing I do, Eugene. I read my Bible daily, among any number of other things I periodically occupy my time with, and there is that fictional story I have started I'd like to get to at least a third-draft status, if not a final-draft status, if possible, by July 4th. I've been stuck on it for a while, but I'll get back to it as I can, et cetera. Lord willing, of course, I'm sure. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I can't wait to see what rocknfire comes up with for Poltragow's Poets, Eugene. Whatever he comes up with, though, I expect to be of very high quality, like much of his work to date, for sure. CD out.

rocknfire7 does nice work... it should be well done.

He might do it quicker than I thought... he said he would do it "next year"... that's tomorrow.

Happy New Year!

Some new caps for the Anashe Jazz. Tried my best to match them up well with the applicable uniforms, but still may need to work on them a bit, of course. For a reminder of what I made earlier for Anashe so far, I'm also reposting the current uniforms I've made for them, and which they've likely been using in at least one dynasty. Still no logos made yet, unfortunately. Maybe I'll try to do them myself before asking for help from others, I think. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

Doing them yourself first is a good idea.

That is the best thing to do.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

What do you think about the new Anashe caps? Just wondering, that's all. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

OK, Grumpy has done your home jersey.
You are very blessed to get it so soon.
But don't ruin a good thing.

Please don't get picky and start asking for revisions... he offered to change the font... he didn't offer to revise the jersey lettering, trim and stripes..

You are being too picky and asking him to make too many changes.
Just be happy with what they do... don't ask for changes.
You will offend them if you do.

Just thank them for what they do... and don't post any change requests.
You will ruin a good thing if you post too much about changes in what they do for you.

CD, the less you post comments, the better... you will get in trouble with your comments.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Ok, I'll try to remember that, Eugene. Thanks for your input. CD out.
