I have been working on logos again and thought I would rework a few of them to fit your dynasty. No worries if you don't use them - it's just fun for me to create them. I will post them from time to time if you don't mind me doing do.

Thanks for all you have put into this thread as well as all you have done to improve the game over the years.

In honor of Chicopee being so close to getting over the hump:



And one of my favorite teams in your world:

knuckler,

What a pleasant surprise! It's so good to hear from you again. For the viewers, who don't know who knuckler is, he is one of the best logo guys on the OOTPB Forums. He created most of my original IPA logos and several thousand for other OOTParkers over the years. They were truly works of art. Lucky for me, he was such a nice and patient guy, that he would alter them ad infinitum until they were perfect according to yours truly, EC.

knuckler also made most of the wonderful logos for my first dynasty, the All-Time All-Star Association, which I did for several years. I took the 16 original MLB franchises and picked their best 25 players of all-time. I also included drafts of the great Negro stars and Japanese stars, too. I added one of them to each team each year. Unfortunately my computer crashed and I lost it all after 11 seasons. I didn't have the heart to start it all over again. Instead, I created the Islandian Pro Alliance. I am thinking of recreating the AAA using OOTP13, even though it is frustrating when the real superstars do poorly in OOTPB. I used fictional players in the IPA because of this. You don't have any expectations for fictional players.

Certainly I would use your excellent logos. I would love for you to create new circular logos for the IPA and post them here on this thread. I didn't have the heart to get the logo geniuses to remake 64 square logos into the circular type.

Could you use the original team colors? If so, I will send you an email with the team colors and team names. Just let me know here.

Tuckanarra is one of my favorite teams in the IPA, too. I'm also excited that Chicopee may finally make the Pro Cup playoffs after all these years.
