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.

CD, I just made them the Hunters for you... Hartsdale will stay the Hellcats in my IPA.

It doesn't look like anyone is going to do logos for the Hartsdale Hunters.

Here are some images from which I tried to work when I made some more potential items for use in any or all of my dynasties. They are inspired, at least in part, by the virtual world that I was once part of before it closed. I tried to use a font as close as I could to what the virtual world used before its closure in November 2016. The colors used are the ones, or nearly the ones, that they used when it was still active as a virtual world, although it never got out of Beta state by the time it closed.

I didn't choose that company's logo colors and all, of course, but I still did try to approximate them, at least, when it came to the uniforms and/or caps I will soon post. This post, however, will show a few graphics I was able to find on the Internet related to the Virtual World of Kaneva prior to its closure as already stated, just so you know.

With no further ado, then, here are the images I tried to work from when I came up with the uniforms and/or caps for two teams called the Atlanta Hustlers and the Kaneva City Guinea Pigs. Kaneva was based out of Atlanta, Georgia, while Kaneva City, a frequent virtual hangout area for many people, often had quite a lot of people logged in and present in it at nearly all hours of the day whenever I was online and there, in truth, talking to people and all from all over the world, by the way.

Uniforms and caps in the next two posts from this one, then, folks. First for the Hustlers, then for the Guinea Pigs. That is all for this one, i think. CD out.

Uniforms and caps for the Atlanta Hustlers. That is all. CD out.

Poiuy's work is good here. It was a good idea to reverse the colors on the logos, I think, at least for the most part. Font is acceptable, although it looks like part of the text is above part of the rifles. Maybe the central elements could be scaled down slightly so that the text doesn't overlap them, and so that they're easier to see. Otherwise, I think those options are quite excellent in their appearances, with the reversed colors, whether the text is green or not. Thank you for your help and all, EC. CD out.

Agree with you, CD... but it might be pushing it too much to ask that the main image be made smaller so that it doesn't overlap the Lettering.

I am very lucky that poiuy did it for me... I had almost given up someone doing it for me.

He really did a fine job.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Well enough that you may eventually consider renaming the Hartsdale team in your IPA? Just curious, that's all. Yes, they did a really good job on the logos, in truth, as far as I'm concerned here. I think they'll look really good in their starting part of the IPA framework, with such items.

They'll look interesting against the other teams in their original subleague as far as the teams that I mentioned privately to you earlier, I'm sure. For instance, against the Willson Fighters, their looks will look quite different from each other, without a doubt. Simply because Willson will be using blue and green and I believe a lighter brown or tan, if memory serves me correctly here, for uniform colors and cap colors, at least, if not also for logos.

I'm not sure what colors the Forest City Oaks should use, however, just yet. I'm thinking green along with silver, at least, if not also black and/or red, for them, but not sure yet. What do you think?

As for the Waleska Penmen, I was thinking something perhaps reminiscent of Colonial or Biblical times with a scroll or sheet of parchment along with a pen of some sort. Probably a quill pen might be best, with the logo(s) primarily being in a bright blue and a gold or tan color along with at least a third color maybe somewhere between purple and red, with more of a classical literary-style font. Although I'm not quite sure what font might look the best for a team called the Penmen, just yet, to be honest.

Thank you for requesting the Hartsdale Hunters-related items here, without mentioning my name, EC. Talk more later, as the Lord wills and all, I hope. CD out

You should use Green for the Forest City Oaks... forests are usually green... Oak trees are green... Red and Black just wouldn't fit... just my opinion.

Use Green with Yellow or Yellow Gold.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

When I see what I have to work with for the other colors for teams in the IPA framework I have in mind, then I'll choose the colors for the Forest City Oaks. I was thinking sort of along the lines of oak leaves or tree trunks of various colors, in fact. I know there are red oaks about, so that's why I thought red may be a possibly usable color here for the Forest City team somehow. Not set on certain colors for certain teams, however, EC.

Will see what I can come up with for the Penmen first, and then we can go from there. Not sure if Robo's set for Southern New Hampshire University's Penmen is exactly what I'd like to use for them yet, but I may still use them, in the absence of better options, in any case. Thank you for your suggestion. I certainly will consider it. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Maybe at least one or two logos that might go well with these uniforms and the caps I'll likely make later might work well for the Waleska Penmen, if I don't use the items Robo made for that school in New Hampshire that I mentioned earlier. Just a thought here, that's all. CD out.

P.S. Font is Calligrapher, but if anyone thinks they have a better suggestion for a commercial-use free font to use here, they're welcome to suggest one, of course. Color codes are as follows:

1074d8 (16, 116, 216) Bright Navy Blue
e8d484 (232, 212, 132) Flax
9024b2 (144, 36, 178) Purple Munsell
dcf0c8 (220, 240, 200) Tea Green

That is all for now, I think. Thank you again for your help and all, EC. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Very nice work, EC, on the items you're doing for the Hunters. Thank you. CD out.

Which ones are you going to use for your league?

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Unless others do better when it comes to caps and/or uniforms for the Hunters, I will certainly use the items you made for them, at least. As far as the logos go, I will probably use some of poiuy's work for them. Thanks again for your help and all, EC. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Waleska Penmen caps as they are so far, at least. That is all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

How do you think I did with the items inspired by Kaneva so far here, EC? Do you think they match well here or not, with the images related to Kaneva included above? Just curious, that's all. CD out.

Technically your work is good... the lettering is good... but your choice of colors are not what I would ever choose for leagues... they are unusual and unique for baseball jerseys... they are not your typical baseball jersey colors... your choice of nicknames is unusual and unique, too... not your traditional nicknames.

But you like them, CD... that is all that matters.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Well, I didn't choose the company's colors, as I said before. I just tried to do the best I could with what was present for their logos' looks and colors and all while it was still an active virtual world before it closed on November 14, 2016. Hustlers has been used many times, in fact, for various teams in various sports, if memory serves. While it may not be more of a traditional name for teams as you may think of such things, Hustlers has been used before by teams, it seems to me.

As for Guinea Pigs, it was almost like we were guinea pigs of a sort whenever they were tinkering with things, and quite often changing things around with little to no advance warning to those of us who would normally come in-world and all. Just when you thought you'd figured something out, they would often spring new surprises on us that would take a good while to get used to, and understand sufficiently well. Or at least it often seemed so to me, in truth. There was often very little communication between those running Kaneva and the general population of it, and many of the advisors and certain other staff members were often not as well-informed about things as they probably should have been, I think.

OOTPD seems to be much better when it comes to such things, fortunately, and keeping us often quite well-apprised of changes if and whenever possible, and for that I'm quite glad, to be honest. The general populace of Kaneva, in many cases, was often quite nice, on average, and I often got along with many of them for about seven years, more or less, in various cases, quite well. There are many here that remind me of a number of those people I knew from there, and you are among those here who do remind me of a number of them frequently, I must say, EC. At least when it comes to personality traits and all.

You are very kind and a real gentleman, and you clearly love the Lord, among any number of definitely positive things I happen to really admire a great deal about you here, EC. And I can't wait to meet you face-to-face, one day in eternity, Lord willing, of course. I don't know just how much more time this world has left before all happens as it must, for sure, of course, but don't be surprised if we somehow see that happen for us within the next 15-20 years, whether we're alive when He who made us returns or whether we've fallen asleep before then prior to His return.

Thank you for all your time and attention and all here, EC. Don't know yet if I'll actually be able to find a place or places for any Kaneva-inspired teams and/or leagues yet in any of my dynasties, past, present, and/or future, somehow. But we'll certainly have to see if i can, of course, Lord willing and all. Talk more with you later, if possible and all, I'm sure. CD out.

Seems the playoff matchups aren't as they probably should be in the TU, EC. Shouldn't they be the fourth seed facing the first seed in both subleagues, and the third seed in either facing the second in each? Rolling Hills should be facing the team from the TU with the fewest number of wins for the four divisional winners, it seems. Just though tyou should know, if my memory's not too mistaken here. That is all. CD out.

The AI did not follow my instructions in setting up first round games... the Playoff Tree is not correct as far as home and away teams.

The matchups are always the same each season:
North plays South and East plays West in both the Ruthlandian Union and Tycobbian Union.

I always rework the playoff schedule so that the team with the best record in each series gets homefield advantage.

Thanks for your help... I could have missed this... but it is always fixed when I rework the playoff schedule.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

You're tired of creating leagues, EC? Why no leagues with historical team names? IT is because you know all about historical teams and/or players? Just wondering, that's all.

Does your age have anything to do with this here, by any chance? And certain recent real-world events and all, might they have something to do with things here, if you don't mind me asking too much here?

Are you going to try to continue your recreational leagues, or recreate them, seeing as you may have been able to recover them somehow, at least to some degree, if I recall some recent forum posts about that sort of thing here easily enough? I hope if so, you'll be able to continue progressing them as much and as best as possible in the future, Lord willing, of course.

I may have to redo or delete at least one dynasty or two, if not more than one, for one reason or another, it seems. But if I do, I do. I'll keep you posted, as best as I can, if I do so, somehow, where and when possible. CD out.
