You need team names before the logos for SL2 can be done?

Yeah, that was entirely my fault. I got all of the team names and cities done.

I will ask if I can post a simulated run of the league on a website as soon as the graphics come in as part of TRTR. Hopefully, I can post the league in less than a week.

What about logos? You can't do good uniforms without logos. Can we use logos from cephasjames or public domain websites like Clipart.com?

Logos are being created. They are decent looking, too, I think.

Using Cephasjames as a source is almost completely out of the question, because he kit bashes stuff from multiple real sources. After reading the terms and conditions of clipart.com, they do not permit their stuff to be redistributed commercially.

Of course, there's nothing stopping the creation of unofficial material, logos, and the like.

Oh don't limit yourself Ambermonk! All my jerseys are without logos, unless that's what you're really saying...that they aren't good! haha

Anyways, Raidergoo, if I've made uniforms for one of the leagues, when and where can I send them for consideration?

raidergoo at yahoo dot com , and send immediately.

Let me clarify that; I'm waiting for the graphic of the mascot, and your comment was just the point - I don't want to limit myself. When I know what each team's mascot is (Cardinals, Cubs, Pirates, etc.), and know what graphic I can use, then there will be no limits on the uniforms. But the time to do the uniforms is before the release of OOTP 9. Once the new version is released, people (including myself) are going to be playing the game.

I have got a full run of the league started as of 10 minutes ago. It's plugging away!

This is why I've been making basic logos with a letter instead of a graphic. No copyright problems. If we had a lot more time, we could have come up with something better, but these will do.

To expand on justafan's point, there is nothing that limits you from changing the graphics after you get your hands on the file. You can easily use any graphics you choose at that point.
