2a. Website Approach - A website like mine could have a seperate page with single links for each team submitted. This link will download a .zip file including all of the necessary files for that team. Same question about the colors... At any rate, I don't like this approach as it would be too many individual links to manage, which takes me to 2b..

2b. Website Approach - A website like mine could maintain a single .zip archive containing folders for each team submitted by users...

If we can come up with an easy to manage system, I'm game for hosting...

Those are all good ideas, PadresFan. With Photobucket, I believe, it automatically shows previews of all the files, which would be a plus, but it may be a bit hard to navigate, especially since 3 files are required per team.

I think the previews are the most important thing to have in the collection, with the organizaton of everything a close second. Ideally, I think each submission would include a .zip of the three files, and a jpeg preview.


Stellar - that's a good point. I'd love to see a patch fix this, i.e. the files could be changed to be named:

jerseys_logo_teamname_nickname_color1_color1_color 3_jerseytype.png

Otherwise, it may just be a inconvenience needed to be put up with.
