I don't know exactly how certain other teams' looks will turn out yet, obviously. But hopefully whichever teams have things made for them, whether past, present, and/or future, they still will look quite good on average whenever used in people's games, somehow.

Will write more later as I can and all, I'm sure. But probably not for at least a little while, or at least not at somewhat greater length than this, EC. CD out.

CD, you are free to play your leagues the way you like... you can do what you like should you create your own IPA league... just don't call it that... call it something else and use the IPA teams, if you like... too many IPA leagues would get confusing on the Dynasty Forum... there are two going right now... don't want another one.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Had to make some perhaps slight changes to the above suggestion, in relation to one of the orange alternates, mainly for visibility's sake, at least, but hopefully you'll still like them at least a little, of course. Please feel free to let me know, if so, as you like and can, within reason. Thank you. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

If you like this Heritage version for White River's Rascals, I'll gladly make up some more Heritage versions for selected other teams, for the 2070 season or earlier, if you want me to. Just let me know, please, okay? Thanks for your time and input and all here, EC, as always. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Well, if I wouldn't call it that, I'd have to have certain logo-related text changed and all, I'm sure, at least. And certain people are not likely to help me for various reasons, after all the trouble I caused earlier, unfortunately. Or at least not at this time, anyway, I think. But I will still take your suggestion under serious consideration, just so you know, EC. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

Don't care for the first two jerseys... the third one is OK... you should have tried Reddish Orange for the lettering on #3... the gray or silver is not part of the Rascals colors... Orange Buttons would look nice, too.
On #2 you should use all caps for the lettering for Aluminum City... the lower case letters don't look good.

I wouldn't use any of these jerseys... not my taste... did you use Orange on #1 and #2?... it looks somewhat Goldish on the undershirt and the short sleeves.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

It's the exact same shade of gray as on the away uniforms you requested earlier that I've earlier made here. Okay, I can certainly put Aluminum City all in capitals. I put the gray text for Rascals instead of putting it in the usual reddish-orange because I thought it would look better on a reddish-orange background, and it would also perhaps be at least a bit more readable for most people here.

Of course, if you want me to use the orange-yellow for the applicable Rascals text and the gray for the sleeve stripes, I can certainly flip the colors. The orange-yellow is one of the default colors seen for Justafan's Jersey Creator, remember?

Will try and have new versions for you shortly, based on your just-given input here. Please stay tuned. Thank you, EC. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Let's see if this revised Heritage alternate for the White River Rascals is more in accordance with your tastes. Yes, I used the exact same reddish-orange I've been using all along on all three of the newest uniforms and this revised Heritage alternate. The black used on the Heritage alternate version or versions is exactly the same black as what I've used all along here on the various uniforms as well. That is all for now, then, I think.

I'll wait to see what you think I should do with the non-pinstriped and non-logoed orange alternate uniforms, too. Once all the uniforms are done as needed and all, just let me know how you want the new caps to be, please, okay? Thank you for your input and all, as always. CD out.

Edit: Decided to add a potential Heritage-themed alternate for the Hillsboro Blazers. Hopefully these will be suitable for use if and when you make it to the 2070 season, at least, of course. That is all. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

Both of these are OK, but nothing I would use in my IPA.

The all caps look better on ALUMINUM CITY... why did you use silver or gray on the lettering as trim?

Orange would be a better choice for the lettering, if you wanted to stay with White River's basic colors... Reddish Orange, Black and Orange.

Sorry, make these heritage jerseys for yourself and according to your own taste... I have no interest in them for my IPA.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Okay, not a problem, EC, you don't have to use them if you don't want to, obviously. The lettering is the usual reddish-orange color for the Rascals on the Heritage unifoms. The gray is from the away uniforms, and the dog is also partly gray, as well. Thanks for your input, though, as always. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Okay, what about the caps? How would you like me to do them, whether or not I do more uniforms for White River's Rascals that others might be able and willing to use? And how many would you like, if possible?

As for the Heritage-themed items, perhaps others might not mind using them, like jg2977, for instance. I think they would potentially fit well with many teams, if done well, even if you don't use them yourself. Especially if OOTP ever allows us to have alternate uniforms and caps that we can use at times if and whenever we want without losing the chance to use the primary items at the same time, of course. That may be at least one version away, but it would really be neat if we could use such items in our games without having to manually change the items used for just a few games each season.

Talk more later, as time allows and all, I hope, EC. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

I want you to do mine the way I like them... add a White Cap to the other three... I would like to see how it looks with a White Home Jersey... only use WR on mine... no Rascal image.
See the 3 examples.

Do not use the Green under bill for my caps... please do mine without any textures... use light shading.

Take you time on them... no rush.

You can do another set any way CD likes them... and of course I will use them if yours are better than mine.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

No bicolor caps? You want the bill to be all white, or do you want bills in other colors? Please give me as precise of instructions as you can here, if you like and can, EC.

The orange-yellow that is somewhat golden in color, remember, is one of the default available colors that justafan's software already has for it, as I've already said. I have used it several times while doing these items for you, as well.

Do you think jg2977 would not mind using the Heritage-themed uniforms I've made so far or not? Just curious, that's all. Obviously, you don't have to use them yourself if you don't want to, but do you think he'd use them? I certainly would consider using them at times, if and when I could and when it might be appropriate enough to do so in my relevant dynasties.

As for the many box scores you have certainly shown quite often in your various dynasty-related threads, I probably happen to like them somewhat more than certain others might, at least for the most part, if I'm not too mistaken here. However, you cut off the lines that may show whenever new records for games are set, it seems to me, generally. I think being able to see such notes-related lines would make things much more interesting at times, to be honest. But you can do as you want, of course, with all your games and their related box scores and all, if and whenever possible, you know.

I'll not likely be able to whip out some more caps for White River tonight, for I've got something I generally do online every Friday night, if and whenever possible. Specifically, a Bible study in a virtual realm, where any number of topics are frequently discussed, both related to the Bible and not, for sure.

I'll try to have at least something caps-related made up, though, for you, in relation to the White River Rascals, at least, by the end of the weekend. Please stay tuned, and all, of course, Lord willing, then, EC. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

Make the White River caps for your league any way you want.

I will give you detailed instructions for each cap I want... look at the examples I posted... they are very close to what I want except for the green under bills.

[Eugene Church]

I have already told jg2977 about the Hartsdale Hunters jerseys and logos.

I posted it in his thread today on the Mods Forum.

If he likes them better than the Hartsdale Hellcats, I'm sure he will use them.

He has made lots of changes to his version of the IPA... which is fine with me... you can do whatever you want with the my IPA teams... just don't call the league the Islandian Pro Alliance or IPA... name it something else... I don't want it to confuse the people that follow my IPA.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Well, then, I'll need the relevant logos modified, it seems, somehow. How many more seasons do you think you'll perhaps be able to do before you're unable to do it, if you don't do it for a full century?

As for the overall league name, I think it's a rather cool name, to be completely honest with you here. So much so, I may have even wished at times that I had actually first thought of it in the first place. But you did, fortunately, for everyone here, including yourself, of course. And I have no doubt that many people here have enjoyed watching its history unfold quite a bit, as well.

I'll talk more later, if and when I can, Lord willing, no doubt. But I probably won't say much more until after tonight's aforementioned Bible study, just so you know.

I hope knuckler and many others who've evidently not been on these forums here for quite some time are all okay and all, of course. But if they're not, there's just about nothing at all that we can really do about that except to hope and pray they are, for sure, is there? After all, all our lives are in the hands of God, whether they're long or short lives, EC. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

As far as potentially confusing people following your IPA, you won't have to worry about that, for the team locations and all will be quite different from how you have them in your IPA, in many, if not all, ways, for sure. I'm even going to include many teams with names and/or looks that I've used before in various leagues/dynasties, no matter what I choose to call the overall relevant league-related framework in any of my dynasties.

You write much differently than I do in most cases, if not all cases. Which will help considerably, whether or not I use the same overall league name or names that you do in yours, and whether or not I use the same overall league name or names that jg2977 does in his, in helping people not get confused about things here, I'm sure. You have a much crisper and succinct writing style than I do, in many ways, EC. While I often tend to ramble when I probably shouldn't, for sure.

In any case, I'll talk more with you later, as I can, about whatever may come to mind for me in the near future, no matter what it is, Lord willing and all. Take care, and may you sleep well tonight, if possible, mon ami. CD out.

CD, I am asking you not to use the IPA or Islandian Pro Alliance for your league name if you intend to cover it on the Dynasty Forum.

It is fine to use the league names in your own private, non-public league, but I would not be happy if you begin covering your own version of the IPA or the Islandian Pro Alliance on the Dynasty Forum.

You can use the team names if you like in your dynasty league... no problem there... but please do not use Islandian Pro Alliance or IPA in a dynasty on the OOTP Dynasty Forum.

I have no legal right to stop you, but it would not be a good thing to do, especially to a friend... or to anyone else for that matter.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

You're right, on both counts, EC. You don't have a legal right to stop me, but you are also right in saying that it wouldn't be a good thing to do, friend or not, without the appropriate people's permission to do so. It would not be ethical, and it would essentially be stealing, and we know what the Bible says about stealing other people's things, among other things it talks about. And about those who steal, et cetera.

So let's see if we can find or come up with some suitable enough names/abbreviations for my potential IPA-inspired leagues to use in at least one potential dynasty-related thread, if not more than one such thread, if and wherever needed, and see if we can't get some logos made for them, perhaps. Okay? Thanks for your input and all, of course, EC. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

Great, I'm glad you agree with me.

I'm sure you can come up with another name for your dynasty league.

It's late... I will give you detailed instructions for the White River caps tomorrow.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Very well, then, I'll await those instructions. Along with some suggestions for the potentially public version or versions of certain IPA-inspired leagues I may eventually write about in dynasty-related threads, if you so choose to suggest any. In any case, it would be nice to have a version or versions of the current IPA logo or logos bearing the calendar date of 1901 instead of 2001, if they bore any dates at all, for non-public versions of the IPA that I might create. Unfortunately, I still can't obviously do any logos, you know.

We'll talk more later, I'm sure, Lord willing and all, of course. Please take care, EC. CD out.
