OOTP quickstart- SL1 thread

[Raidergoo]

Here are the teams for the league:

Atlanta Rebels
Boston Colonials
Chicago Hitmen
Cincinnati Rivermen
Los Angeles Moguls
Pittsburgh Keystones
San Francisco Golden Gators
St. Louis Dredgers


Can you guys develop some original logos and uniforms for these teams? I need a clever logo for each team, and uniforms. Think 1950's-60's, and be simple with the uniforms. City name in a script would be great (like the Dodgers are).

No team names or colors have been selected yet. Try to use the city name. If you want to be inventive, come up with your own.

If someone already comes up with a team uniform, you can still offer your own up. We'll hash out which one to select.

Did you want to use the style from your other thread about these?

Paging all graphics wizards!

You could do so if you want, or be inventive and create something new.

I had a good chuckle for the Hitmen.

I don't do uni's too often, but I thought I'd try a few here using Ambermonk's templates.

I was impressed by Los Angeles.

Some nice ideas here. Keep up the good work - and try some more.

By the way, if you add some visual "noise" to the jerseys that will give them some texture. Try it. I think you'll like the results. In Paint.net I usually set the noise to 20-25 (with 0-5 color noise). Hope this idea helps.

What fonts did you use for the text?

[justafan]

Thanks Ambermonk, I may try some noise.

Here are the fonts I used...

Atlanta - ChocolateBox
Boston - AnticFont
Chicago - Belshaw
Cincy - BoisterBlack
LA - Casablanca Heavy SF
Pittsburgh - Duvall
SF - LHF Cafe Corina BETA
St. Louis - A Yummy Apology

Good choice! I think you'll be pleased with the textured (and more realistic) results. Also, keep in mind that the darker the jersey - the more noise (and color noise) you have to use.

Although it's a matter of personal taste, since you are using the layer system, you can get away with lighter shading for a more realistic (and cleaner) look. I don't know if you read some of my previous threads about shading, but I always use two layers of shading! The higher layer I always have set to Normal, but the lower layer is set to Darken, Multiply, or Color Burn depending on what looks best on the jersey color & darkness. Note also on the shading templates that some have white backgrounds while others are transparent. I generally prefer the white backgrounds because it makes the jersey look a little more worn & used (lighter/washed out). For brighter jerseys - use the transparent background on the shading.

Hope this info will be useful to you (or anyone else).

I think those are some pretty nice designs, although I don't know if they fit the time period. Nice work, though. The logos are really sharp.

Nice backgrounds on your pics. Where did you get them?

I believe most of them came from HERE, thanks to Kyros and HERE, thanks to doorgunner.

Thanks! Doorgunner's backgrounds were the ones I liked (got 'em).

Don't know if you saw it, but I recently uploaded two more layer templates
Recent Uniform Designs & New Templates
Hope you can use them.

Have you done anymore uniforms? If so, I'd like to see them.

I'm really not much into doing uni's, just thought I would give it a try. I did do more uni's for the SL2 league and may post them later, but that may be the last you see from me.

OK, here they are. No logos because there are no team names. Not sure if this project is dead.

Your uniforms look pretty nice. Hope you keep doing them.

I understand. I would have done some uniforms myself but, with no logos, I decided to just wait until they are released. I'll probably do some after the game is released and I see what there is to work with.

The three things you need to do a proper uniform are...
1. The city
2. The Mascot
3. The logo

I need to get these files in the next couple of days, preferably tonight.
