There are no plans to change the nickname for the Belle Plaine Musketeers.

Error in post 7387 of IPA thread, EC. Should be easy to spot, though, I think. CD out.

Thanks for pointing it out... you really have a sharp eye.

Southport should have been Hartsdale... was that the mistake?

That's all I could see... next time tell me the error... so I don't have to look for it... it was hard to find.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Yes, that was the error. But I was kind of in a hurry with the above post, though, I think. That's probably why I didn't mention the error in question. Yes, the second Southport should have been Hartsdale, I believe. CD out.

CD, if you want to do some Jerseys and Caps for the IPA teams, there is a thread on the Graphics Forum.

See it for team instructions... see the thread "Pinq: Lawn Loaf- EC"... that is the first thread for the rebranding... each thread will be titled for the person doing the graphics... each will be a personal inquiry thread.

DO NOT POST YOUR JERSEYS IN THAT THREAD... just post them here in your thread.

Only do them if you follow my instructions and use my colors.
If you want me to use them, they must be traditional in style and color.

You only have to do these if you would like... you don't have to do them to be my friend.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

You had the Blue Lake team in your IPA as the Schooners this past season. What is the new team name going to be? Blue Sox or Blue Caps?

I'd recommend the following teams be updated/rebranded, but you can accept or reject the suggestions as you like, of course, and I won't be offended if you do the latter.

Kilkenny Cats
Taranto Tars

Belle Plaine Musketeers
Beechwood Jackrabbits

Grand City Cybercats
Belair Beach Sunbirds

Middlefield Roosters
Rocky Rapids Snappers
Forest City Firebirds

High Mesa Mustangs
Hillsboro Blazers
East Point Panthers

North Hills Hawks
White River Rascals
Fairfax Frogs

Bay St. Clair Buccaneers
La Claire Lynx
Bayview Vikings

Cape Coral Hurricanes
Turon Typhoons
Colchester Elites

Those are the teams I think may be most in need of updating and/or rebranding, and you've already posted about a few of them. The others could probably remain as they are, however, I think.

Seeing as you're in the last half of the 21st Century, though, with your IPA dynasty, maybe something blending retro looks with a bit of futuristic looks might be worth considering for several teams, especially with a team called the Cybercats, for example. Just a thought here, that's all.

I may not be able to go entirely traditional, like some often do, but I do think lighter colors are often better for home uniforms if white isn't the base color, and sometimes colors are better than shades of gray for teams' road/away uniforms. A little color and originality is not necessarily a bad thing, EC, is it, as long as it's not needlessly taken to the extreme?

If I were to make some things for your league, I would hope you would give me at least a little bit of leeway, so I can show at least a little bit of originality with the items I do, at least when it comes to the uniforms and caps, of course. Logos, though, someone else would have to most likely do, it seems.

In any case, you will still be my friend, nevertheless, I'm sure, Eugene. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

CD, do what you want to do as far as my IPA league logos, jerseys and caps.

Create the teams that you want to create... just use their current nicknames and do them any way you want... just understand, if you make them like your previous work in this thread, I will not use them.
Your taste and mine are worlds apart.

I will not rebrand those teams that you listed.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Are the Blue Lake Schooners going to become the Blue Caps or the Blue Sox, for next season? Just curious, that's all, EC.

Okay, so you're not rebranding those teams, but they are going to potentially be updated by people here? I think a number of them could use some updates for them, just in case you might be of a mind to have them updated and all, however.

Take care, and I'll talk more with you later, if and when possible. Lord willing, of course, that is, EC. CD out.

Blue Lake will be the Blue Caps if I can get someone to do it... Lawn Loaf has said he will help me... I assigned it to him, along with Bay St. Clair Buccaneers and the Belle Plaine Musketeers.

So far golem64 and rocknfire7 have also said they would help me update the IPA graphics.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Your team description currently related to Blue Lake directed to Lawn Loaf has them listed as being the Blue Sox, but you've been using Blue Lake Schooners as the team's name in the IPA for some time. So you might perhaps want to edit the blurb about the team history in the related post, I think. Just a suggestion, that's all, EC.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

What do you have for Fairfax or Hillsboro for color codes and uniforms and caps, at least? Maybe I'll try to do something related to either or both of those teams, or another team, if and when I have a chance. Please advise, if you like, and if you know what font is on the applicable items for at least one team, if not the fonts for multiple teams. Thank you. CD out.

I don't know the fonts of my teams... you just pick the font and create it using my colors... sorry, I don't have the color codes... Fairfax is dark blue and green... Hillsboro is Yellow, Red and Black.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Where are Ruthlandia and Tycobbia and their islands in relation to major landmasses or other nations in our real world? Where are North and South Island in relation to them as well? Are the above uniforms home or away for your teams? If home, what are the other uniforms like for them, or their caps? I don't know how to have a straight edge to sleeves like you have for the shown Blazers uniform though.

Thank you for your time and all. Maybe I'll try taking a stab at those two teams once I finish my current chapter, at least in a first-draft state. Hoping I can do so by the end of the month, but I'll probably be cutting it very close to midnight on Monday night, if so.

Talk to you soon, I hope. Please stay as safe as you can, especially with the storms and the troublemakers out and about who are causing a number of really bad things to happen all over, EC. Of course, you and yours are still in my thoughts and prayers as often as possible, for sure. God always watches over His own as He wills, in any case, you know, no matter who they are. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

CD, I don't know where they are in relation to anything else... they are just fictional Islands... I have never gone into where they are in the dynasty storyline... it's not important to the viewers... they are just following the baseball leagues.

North and South Islands are just off the coast of Louisiana... if I remember, I went into detail about their location...remember, they are fictional islands.

[Eugene Church]

In almost all cases, my home teams will have the team nicknames on the the jerseys... away jerseys will have the name of the town.

Both the Frogs and the Blazers are the home jerseys.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

This is what I have so far for the Fairfax Frogs. Keep in mind they are currently works in progress, though. If I had a sublimated pattern featuring frogs' feet and/or frogs, I think they could perhaps help make these uniforms pop, somehow, at least. No ideas yet for the Blazers that I've been able to come up with and use, in any case. That's all for now. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

If someone could provide sublimated patterns reminiscent of various animals besides snakes, such as lizards or birds, for example, or at least layers ones could use for making assorted graphics, I think it'd really make a number of things pop graphics-wise. Don't you agree?

Am working hard on chapter ten, but don't know if I'll be able to finish the first draft of the current chapter by the end of tonight, to be honest. Certainly going to try, in any case, though.

I'll probably be requesting a number of logos after I get done with this chapter, but I don't know yet just how many I'll need to request for various teams and/or leagues. I'll try not to go overboard with them, of course, when I do. As for currently-existing requests, from before, I don't know yet if I'll need to mention them again later, to be sure.

Hope you're well and all, and I hope these are sort of to your liking so far, EC. Please let me know what you think of them, okay? Thanks. CD out.

P.S. It shouldn't be P I N Q, it should be P I N G, when you want to get someone's attention, I think, just so you know, EC. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Wasn't able to complete the first-draft version of chapter ten by midnight, unfortunately. But hopefully I'll be able to complete the chapter within a few days, at most. Then I will probably start chapter eleven, and/or post more on my dynasty threads, mainly. Like my Galactic Baseball Alliance thread, I think.

I will keep you all posted on my story-related progress, at least, of course, folks, as time permits and all, I'm quite sure. Thank you for your time and all, as well. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I don't think I'll be able to match rocknfire7, in terms of quality, as far as a potential team set for the Frogs, but maybe you can still use the above uniforms or later versions of them, even if I can't use a sublimated layer or two with frog-like or frog-related things on them, EC. Will keep working on this team, however, I think. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Eugene, which team in the ABRS's Stronghold Division for the Sanctuary League do you think has the best team sets overall so far? Just curious, that's all.

Colorado Fourteeners
Great Plains Bisons
Minnesota Nocturnauts
Missouri Show-Mes
New Orleans Bayous
Texas Border Patrol

Please advise, and if you think you know anyone who might be willing to do logos for them, please let me know. I was thinking perhaps that each division could be covered by one designer apiece including the divisional logo(s), one for each of the two subleagues, and one for the overall American Baseball Refuge Society-related logo or logos.

For instance, I was wondering how txranger might do logos for the Texas Border Patrol, if he chose to do them here, once I made a relevant request. Being from Texas, I think he might come up with something that looks fabulous for them, in truth. As for you, what would you perhaps suggest for a logo related to the New Orleans Bayous, for instance? Just wondering, that's all.

Hope you're well and all, and I'd like your thoughts on my start for the Fairfax Frogs so far, if you don't mind too much, Eugene. Still haven't been able to find any frog-related patterns that I could use as a layer or something for the above uniforms, however. And still haven't been able to find something flame-related for a layer that I'd like to use with my prospective Hillsboro Blazers team set, either, unfortunately. I'll keep looking, in any case, l think, when I have enough of a chance to do so well enough.

Talk more later, I hope. Please don't be a stranger to this thread, okay? CD out.
