I'll elaborate on this further, highlighting one specific team, the New York Americans, as an example. (I apologize for the incoming image dump.
)
So this is how I
was saving jersey files in FHM 6: the team name, then the away designation, then the year of introduction; at that time everything functioned as it should.
But when I imported the save to FHM 8, keeping that file name format:
As you can see on the left, the Americans' players are now in their white home jerseys despite being on the road, but wearing their away blue helmets.
If I tweak the file name, however:
Tacking on that jersey's final year before being replaced - in this case, 1995 - and then reload the game
Their away jerseys show up as they should. (One could just go without a year at all, and for teams that don't change jerseys at all that would be fine, but for franchises that change multiple times in their existence, and would thus
need a designated year for even their most recent jerseys, that would pose a problem; but I found that tacking on an end year of "9999", presumably as late as one could possibly go, solves it easily enough.)

So I was using "4 teams, 2 per conference" in 6, which in 8 adds a "WCHL 1921" clarifier:
On that note, after my post I actually discovered something else not working right here: Instead of the top 2 teams per conference qualifying, it instead just takes the top 4 teams in the league:
For my first season in 8, 3 teams in the East qualified while just 1 in the West did; and while 2 teams per conference qualified in season 2...
...Both first rounds are interconference now, because of their seeding in the league overall. (Also as I said, and as you can see, I selected best-of-three series for both rounds but I got two-game total-goals series, which isn't even a visible option normally, instead.)

Well, I was going to, but when I tried it said the upload was going to take upwards of 3 hours, and even leaving it to do some shopping in the meantime didn't even get me halfway there; so given that I only got 4 seasons into this file, I think to fix this awards bug I'm just gonna start over, again, in 8 this time.
