Here's one using the chrysanthemum and the colors from the Imperial flag. My graphics skills are limited, but after a lot of trial-and-error, I think this one looks OK in-game.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Thank you, poiuy. I may just use that one, if someone doesn't come up with something better, in fact. CD out.

Very well done, poiuy... much better than mine.

Thanks for helping CD.

Testing now on pause, if not ended, with the test game in question. Do not yet know if I'll want or need to continue the test game, for I deleted the test game from my list of OOTP 21 games. Although I made a backup of it first before doing so, just in case I choose to resume the test, for sure.

I still will need logos for the Meiji and Tokugawa Leagues, in truth. The logo above for the CTBL is satisfactory, as well, and will be used whenever I include the league in one of my games, I think. I will need logos for the following, league-wise, at people's convenience and willingness, it seems:

Nippon Pro Baseball (1901-1925 style, colors and looks designer's choice)
Central League (see above for ***)
Pacific League (see above for ***)
Premier League (see above for ***)
Sea League (see above for ***, part of Premier League)
Land League (see above for ***, part of Premier League)

Meiji League (exactly as described in relevant post on Retro thread, if possible)
Tokugawa League (exactly as described in relevant post on Retro thread, if possible)
Bakufu Baseball Organization (see above logo for some possible inspiration, but also consider the eras of various Japanese Shoguns, please, if you like and can)
Minamoto Clan (something along the lines of their clan emblem might work, I think, or including it, perhaps, part of BBO)
Ashikaga Clan (see above for Minamoto Clan, part of BBO)

Islandian Pro Alliance (1901-1930 style should suffice here, I think, quite well)
Ruthlandian Union (see above for IPA)
Tycobbian Union (see above for IPA)

These logos should be enough for me here for at least a month or two, if and when done and all, I think. Other things I might have in mind can wait for a while, for I'll probably be rather busy with certain other matters over that timespan, most likely, if I'm not too mistaken here.

Thanks in advance to anyone who is ready, willing, and able to help here, of course. Although the test didn't generally go as well as planned, or hasn't, I think I've been able to gather at least some useful enough information that I still can perhaps use while continuing work on the relevant quickstart I've been working on for a while, off and on.

I won't go into the details at this time about the test game, at least, but I may or may not later, as the need or desire arises. Probably not, but we'll see, in any case, whether I do. Thank you for your time and attention and all, everyone. That is all for now. CD out.

I'm not very good at creating league logos and I couldn't get the league name to fit in, but maybe this helps

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Thank you, Germaniac. Do what you can, if and when you like. That is all. CD out.

[Germaniac]

Another try

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Thanks, Germaniac. These are much appreciated, and should hopefully find much use in the future, if and whenever possible. CD out.

This is what I have so far for the Wasurt Nilrea Tycoons, a team I will have in my own personal version(s) of the Islandian Pro Alliance and/or one of its affiliated leagues, folks. I still need to do at least one cap for them, if not more than one, for sure, in any case.

I don't know when I'll create a version of the IPA for the quickstart I've been working on, just yet, but I suspect it may be very soon, somehow, still. I'll keep you all posted as I can, where possible and appropriate and all. Until then, please stay tuned as you like and can here. That is all. CD out.

txranger's Halifax Resolutes set is very good, as is usual for him. It would be great if it could be modified to say Sailors instead, in red and yellow with a bit of blue like that in the Scottish flag, for example, I think. For instance, I really like the anchor bit with the spoked wheel.

If the right shade or shades of red, yellow, and blue were used, with a font or fonts similar to the ones used for the Resolutes or his attempt at doing the Sailors for me earlier, they'd look awesome, and certainly would work well for my early 20th Century Halifax Sailors, no doubt. I'd certainly use them with that team for quite some time, in that case, as best as I can, whenever I can.

I'm not much for circular logos, as you know, but I'd still use them for certain teams if I liked them enough and all, for sure. I'm not totally against them, mind you, and I have used them in the past at times, but they're generally not the kinds of logos I use for teams, to be honest.

Am beginning to write a bit for Lighting Up the Darkness again. But I still have at least a bit more writing to do before I can call Chapter 12 of it done, at least in terms of a first draft of the entire story, I think. I'm hoping to be able to get to page 270 of the manuscript by the end of the month, but that may be hard to get to, even from somewhere around page 200 now. If I can get there by the end of the month, maybe I'll be into at least Chapter 14 or 15 of the story, somehow. Lord willing, of course.

I'm still hoping to have 25 chapters written up by the end of November for this year, at least in their first-draft state. But the chances of that happening somehow do not look good at this point for that to happen for me here, to be honest. I'm expecting the manuscript to reach at least 400 to 450 pages at this point, at the rate things are going, but we'll have to see how the rest of the story goes. I'm shooting for no more than 300 to 350 pages, if even that many, by the time this story gets to its final-draft state, if at all possible and all. Lord willing, that is. Will keep you posted on progress with it and other things, as I can and all, EC.

Until the next post, then, I'll close this one. I'll try to make progress on the quickstart and other things I've been working on recently, graphics-wise, as well, for sure, folks, as time allows and all, of course. CD out.

I decided to try and revisit my Atlanta Flying Mudflap Brains team-related idea from a while back, and this is what I've come up with so far for them here. I currently am using certain colors from certain probable Atlanta-area pro teams in some sort of mashup, at least, if not also certain fonts and all. While I still likely won't be able to do logos for them, hopefully these items and the caps I'll make as soon as possible might inspire a few of you regarding the team in question, when it comes to perhaps designing logos for them, folks. By the way, the font in question here is called Studebaker NF, for your information, just in case you might want to know its name and all here.

If I haven't already done so with certain other teams I've done, I will most likely be mashing up colors from various teams in various places in like manner, every so often, when and if I can do so well enough, Lord willing. I've got 34 areas/cities in mind at the present time, including Atlanta, so you'll have to wait and see whatever else I may come up with for those places, of course. Baltimore will likely be next, just so you know, folks. That is all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here's what I have so far for the Baltimore Merchants. I most likely will need to work on them at least a little bit more, including doing at least one cap for them, if not at least one more uniform for them. I don't really know what would be good for a logo or logos related to them sufficiently well, at least as of yet, of course. But let's all just try and see if these uniforms, at least, might inspire at least one of you to see what can be done for them, in terms of logos, if we can, folks. I'll try to add at least one cap to this post later, if and when I can, for sure. That is all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here's what I have for the Boston Masterminds so far. Will do caps for them later, if and when possible, I'm sure. But don't think I'll be able to do any logos for them later on, unfortunately, of course. That is all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here's what I have for the Buffalo Freighters so far. I'll need to do some matching caps for them later, no doubt, but at least I have these items for now which might work for them well enough, somehow. Of course, I probably won't be able to do any suitably good logos for them in the near future, at least, somehow. However, I still might just be able to provide at least two or three halfway-decent or better-quality uniforms and/or caps for them, in any case at all here. Lord willing and all, I'm sure, everyone.

As with certain other teams already seen here in this thread, or potential teams that I might later do items for here in it, their current team colors most likely are from or nearly approximate those of various known past or present professional sports teams from the Buffalo area of New York, just so you know, folks. That is all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I accidentally skipped Brooklyn in the location-related plans mentioned earlier, so here are some prospective items for a possible team from there, to be sure. I've now made two uniforms for a prospective team called the Brooklyn Lookouts for you to check out and all, if and when you like and can. And some caps will likely come at some later time, along with possibly even more uniforms as well. Although I don't know just when that might be yet. Hope you like these items, folks. That is all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here are some uniforms I have made so far for a potential team based in the Carolinas, most likely in either Raleigh or Charlotte, using the candidate nicknames of Smugglers and/or Prodigies. I may make some up for possible candidate nicknames of Border Cats, Cobras, Prophets, Preachers, and/or Cyberstars, but not sure yet. Of course, caps and logos will likely have to be made later by at least one or two people here, I think, just so you know, folks. Will keep you all posted as best as I can, Lord willing and all, that is. That is all for now, at least, then. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here's what I currently have for the prospective candidate team name of Carolina Border Cats. While I'll certainly have to work more on this potential identity, of course, here's what I have for such a potential identity for a Carolinas-based team so far. That is all. CD out.

EC, are you going to need some teams to be updated, in terms of their looks and all? If so, please advise us, as you like and can. Thank you. CD out.

When I need to update a jersey, I will post it here for you and give you a shot at it.

Thank you for the offer to help... much appreciate it.
