I think it would be better to receive the files electronically, quite possibly, EC, from you, instead of going through the U.S.P.S., for various reasons. I don't generally give out my postal address to many people, in truth, if I don't have to. While I definitely like you as a friend, and love you as a brother in the Lord, it probably wouldn't be a good idea at this time to give you or anyone else my postal address if I don't absolutely have to.

If you can zip up the necessary items together, and send them to a certain email address, attached to an email, I can get them from there, and use them, for sure. Can you do that here well enough? If so, then I'll let you know where to send them. The Game has sent me files in the same manner before, in fact.

Thank you for your friendship and all, of course, EC. By the way, in at least one of my leagues, there is a New Orleans Pelicans team in existence circa 1910. That being the case, what 3D park would you recommend I perhaps use for them in the applicable game or games, if possible? I'm not sure if I have a park from the New Orleans area other than the Superdome available to me at present, though, to be honest. Please advise. Thank you. CD out.

I'll try to learn how to zip a file and email my IPA logos, jerseys and caps to you... give me some time... will work on it in the next week or so.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Will you need some updates soon for your IPA teams, at least? If so, please let us know. Thank you. CD out.

I will let you know when I need an update on any of my IPA teams... right now, I'm just working on getting the season underway.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

EC, the Hartsdale team in my version of the IPA will be called the Hunters, not the H@llcats. Do you think you could come up with things primarily in green, brown, and silver or gray, for them well enough, perhaps? Home items lighter, away/road items darker, obviously. Am just wondering, that's all. Art style up to you, fonts up to you, et cetera. Thanks in advance if so, of course. CD out.

I will try to work up something for you.

Actually, I am going to see if someone will do it on the Graphics Forum, too.

I might get lucky.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Thanks. Will write more later, as I can and all. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

Here is what I came up with.

Do you want me to make caps and logos?

If you don't like them, that is no problem... I just don't want to do more work, if they are not what you want.

Colors: Green, Brown and Orange

Green Code: 36 98 113
Brown Code: 151 78 47
Orange Code: 255 192 0

The silver and gray just didn't work, so I switch to orange to get good color contrast.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

That's good work, EC. Yellow-orange as seen above works for me, I think. Feel free to use whatever you think best for the Hunters logo, even if they're circular. Not much for circular logos, as you know, but I think they'll be all right for this team here, at least, in any case, if done well. Thank you. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

What font is that anyway? Just curious, that's all. Thanks again. CD out.

What type of logo do you like?

Square?

Just an image with lettering... no framing or circle?

What else is there?

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Generally logos with no established borders such as many logos have, unless they seem more appropriate for certain teams and/or league then in question. Of course, images themselves may have trim and/or borders as well, but generally, I don't like most logos to be in roundels or squares or home plate-shaped forms, to be honest, if they don't have to be and all. Especially if they could also be used on certain uniform fronts, like the Birds on the Bat, for instance, that the St. Louis Cardinals use on them often.

Obviously, every team is different, at least to some degree, but I generally do not like logos in certain styles and shapes, in many cases. Whether the team's real or not, that is, I generally don't. Please use your best judgement possible when it comes to possible imagery you might use for the Hunters, EC, as you can and all, and perhaps use the same font that you used on the uniforms for the caps and/or logo(s) for the Hunters, as you might see fit and all.

By the way, I'm running another dynasty at the moment, but I may eventually have to delete it or put it on a USB drive, due to space concerns. I'll try progressing it as far as I can, but I don't think I'll be able to get more than about 20-25 years out of it before I have to do so, because there's a lot already that has happened in the dynasty, even with it being only 13 years of game-time old. Will keep you posted as I like and can. May even post a dynasty report thread later, but not sure yet. It will probably be under a title something like Dreamfields Baseball 001, if not exactly like it, I think, supposing I post such a thread.

Thank you for your time and attention and all. Unfortunately, however, I haven't been able to make any more progress on my story, or at least not much of late, after writing the first paragraph or so of chapter 13 for Lighting Up the Darkness, EC. But hopefully that will change soon, Lord willing, of course. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

CD, I am just going to do a square or circle logo... that's all I have the talent to do... just the basics and not much more.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Do what you can, EC, and maybe someone can do better. Thanks. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

You forgot the preseason predictions for the IPA's TU South Division in 2068, somehow, it seems. Just thought you should know. CD out.

Edit: Might not have seen all the predictions at first, perhaps. Will check again. CD out.

CD, the preseason prediction for the TU South is post #7878.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Thank you for telling me that. Most of the teams in my IPA version will have the same names as they do in your IPA, but not all. I have done some graphics work for them, and will use some items low and others have done for the teams with different team names, for sure.

The locations with changed team names will be as follows. If I am using other people's graphics, I'll note that as needed, and where I have likely made most graphics for them, I'll note as well:

Belle Plaine Paladins (Using certain Paladins-related items by low, but don't have anything saying Belle Plaine instead of Paladins or Patterson for them, I believe, yet)

Hillsboro Historians (My work for them so far may have been posted already in this thread, but I'll have to check to confirm that)

Washington Senators (Probably done, at least in part, based on my work for the WTHS Senators of Valparaiso, Indiana, from at least one thread here on the forums, if not more than one)

Forest City Oaks (Don't likely have anything for them yet)

Cold Creek Choppers (Likely using low's Choppers-related items, at least in part, but don't have anything that says Cold Creek or CC instead of Syracuse on it just yet, I believe)

Denton City Tremors (Likely using low's Tremors-related items, at least in part, but don't have anything that says Denton City on it instead of Daly City on it just yet, I think)

Southport Gold Sox (Something like txranger's recent Gold Sox items might work well for this team, I think, but with a 1901 to 1920's style blend between the Red Sox and the White Sox, perhaps, at least to a degree, if not totally)

Kilkenny Knights (1901 to 1930's style with a blend similar to that of the Ohio-based teams from the real world of that time period might work best, mostly leaning towards the Cincinnati Reds side of things, where possible and all)

Grand City Giants (Have likely done and posted possible uniforms and/or caps, but not logos, for them in this thread already, but if not, I'll probably post them later, of course. Seeing as I normally start dynasties prior to the 1930's or 1910's, Cybercats probably wouldn't work well for them here, until the Computer Age begins, of course, circa the 1950's or so)

Hartsdale has already been mentioned, so I won't cover it again here, at least not in this post, other than how it's already been mentioned, I think.

All other teams from your IPA, I believe, will retain the same names, at least for now, in my IPA-related leagues, in any case. I don't expect to change them anytime soon, either, come to think of it, EC.

As for the 32 additional teams in my four-level IPA version, I've already done much of the needed work for them already, it seems. I'm going to reuse some of the team names and graphics I've already used or plan to use in various leagues/dynasties of mine, especially if I've already made them myself. Of course, many, if not most, of those other teams don't likely have logos made for them yet, at least in terms of location-related things. But maybe they can get them later, if they don't already have them, you know.

I'll post more details related to my IPA version later, as time allows and all, as well. I will say this, however, at least. The four levels will be promotion-relegation-style levels, with 24 teams in each level, with the IPA being the top level and the bottom level being the Novice Consortium. I've not quite worked out all the related details yet, but that will come in time, I'm sure, Lord willing.

Thank you for your time and all, as always, EC. And hopefully, I'll be able to post more graphics or other things later, as time permits and all, of course. Please stay tuned, then. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

EC, if you haven't already, please check your PM's. Thank you. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

Hope you get great enjoyment out of your new league, CD.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Please let jg2977 know you may consider renaming the H@llcats to the Hunters, if I understand you properly enough here, if you like and can, EC. So far, what you have looks good for a potential Hartsdale Hunters team, but maybe someone can do better. Thanks for posting that thread, as well. If you want to request looks for the other teams I mentioned with different team names in mind for me, I'd not mind, and I'd appreciate it, if you did so, of course. Do what you like, however, in any case, please.

Thank you for your time and attention and all here, EC. As for zipping certain things up easily enough, you can ask The Game or anyone else who's been known to zip things up easily enough, if and when you like, so that you can hopefully send things easier to people, about how to do so, and all, I'm sure. I'd like to know myself as well, most definitely, for I don't really know how to do that myself just yet either, in truth. CD out.
