Let me see if I got what you're saying right: 2 18-team conferences No divisions But rather, there are "de facto" divisions/pods/locked rivals a la college football permanent rivals Wouldn't that just make for an even more unbalanced schedule? Let's just pretend that NFL becomes like baseball's NL/AL style but with no interleague(conference) play and have each of these 18-team conferences have 3 divisions of 6 teams per for simplicity. 10 games vs 5 divisional rivals (2 games per team, home/away) 6 games vs 1 divisional (3 homes, 3 aways) 1 game vs the team that finished in the same standings position in the other division No inter-conference games. But assuming that the 4 Europe teams are all in one division together, then one conference would never play them. Not trying to disagree with you or anything. Just having an enjoyable conversation with you, I'd like to think. Yes, of course I want to keep as many rivals intact as we can.

I like this idea. There's only one MVP every year anyway. The pro bowls are fantasy drafts so it's all moot. How would the schedule format work though? I'm sorta assuming it'd be 18 games now rather than 17 games. Or just have a pure 17-week round robin style schedule. Face every team in your conference once. No cross-conference games. Would make for an extremely balanced schedule I think. That's not a bad idea. Wonder where that U.S. base would be. Probably Texas because it's centrally located, in warm weather, and tons of good football facilities there (See XFL). I love and agree with your idea about the playoffs. Just suck it up lol.

So I saw an article where the NFL was entertaining the possibility of having a 4-team division in Europe to help with the travel costs and all that. But my question is - assuming all current NFL teams stay intact - how would the logistics work? What would the schedule look like? 17 or 18 games? 2 byes or just 1? How would the division fit into the NFC or AFC? Or is it just an "unaffiliated' division? Where would their playoff teams go? I know it'll probably never happen in real life, but just for the sake of discussion, let's just assume it'll happen. What would the logistics be like?

Why? Would there be similar guides to this for other leagues or sports? I noticed it seems to be fairly easy finding style guides for NCAA teams, but not for pro teams. Such as this one - https://www.trademark.iastate.edu/files/documents/2021-11/iowastate_athletic.pdf

I always love looking at MLB team logos, especially on this website. But I was wondering if I could find the official team branding style guide (any team) anywhere so I can read through it? Or even just a one big chart of their logos and when certain logos can be used or not. Like this for the Big 12 - http://ncdadodgeball.com/media/teams/resources/Big12StyleGuide.pdf I think it used to be accessible on pressbox.mlb.com but now one needs to log in for that kind of info.

Hello there! Thanks! I'm honored! You're doing some great work here too. I'm enjoying this series from afar Keep it up!

Is there a way to create a photoshop graphic file (such as standings or playoff bracket) where I could put multiple teams in one location but only show one team at a time. Kind of like a drop down menu thing? I'm trying to look for ways to save time "admin-ing" my sports fantasy stuff.

YES!! I loved it when the Minnesota Twins had the road pinstripes. It's what allowed them to separate from all other navy-red teams.

Like what @buzzcut said, switch the IL West with the IL South, so that way, Iowa, Omaha, Memphis, etc. can be in the same league with Louisville, Indianapolis, etc, while the IL is more Atlantic coast based. As for the National Championship, maybe take the 3 league winners and a preselected championship host and place them in a 4-team bracket thing. I believe the Canadian Hockey junior does the same thing.

Maybe make them their own conferences and they only play the actual NBA teams just a few times a year. Think like AL/NL in MLB in the early days of interleague play. There only time they would really face each other is during a 2-3 week period in late spring, the All-Star game and the post-season. Something like this, which is completely off the top of my head: 32-team NBA 8-team EuroNBA 8-team AsiaNBA Have like a 2-3 period during each season where all of the teams travel to each other's homes and have their own version of "interleague." In the postseason, the semi-finals could have 2 NBA teams, and 1 from each Euro/Asia. NBA would have it own playoff system per normal, while the international teams will have their own version. Forget my original semi-finals idea. Maybe just have a normal 16-team playoff like usual, but have a "wild-card, play-in" round between the bottom 2 NBA teams and the Euro/Asia teams to battle for the no. 7/8 seeds. Something like that. It's not perfect but I'm sure someone can come up with a reasonable idea. I know it'll be hard to come up with balanced schedule for something like this, but it's an idea. Just pretend that the International teams is in the "third conference" and the Euro and Asia are their own "divisions." Western Conference (just like normal) 4 divisions of 4 teams / 2 divisions of 8 teams Eastern Conference (just like normal) 4 divisions of 4 teams / 2 divisions of 8 teams "International" Conference Euro's own division Asia's own division

Just discovered this thread and there are some great ideas here! One idea I had (just thought of it off the top of my head) is that maybe if there's a "dead series" somewhere and the original poster cannot continue it, maybe someone else could take up the mantle and complete the series with the original owner's permission. The style/template would be similar, but we could see some cool designs in a same league.

I have a few concepts of what the league would look like if the Astros stayed in the National League, while one of the following three teams swapped leagues: Rockies, Diamondbacks or Brewers. Brewers AL East Baltimore Orioles Boston Red Sox New York Yankees Tampa Bay Rays Toronto Blue Jays AL Central Chicago White Sox Cleveland Indians Detroit Tigers Milwaukee Brewers Minnesota Twins AL West Kansas City Royals Los Angeles Angels Oakland Athletics Seattle Mariners Texas Rangers NL East Atlanta Braves Miami Marlins New York Mets Philadelphia Phillies Washington Nationals NL Central Chicago Cubs Cincinnati Reds Houston Astros Pittsburgh Pirates St. Louis Cardinals NL West Arizona Diamondbacks Colorado Rockies Los Angeles Dodgers San Diego Padres San Francisco Giants Rockies AL East Baltimore Orioles Boston Red Sox New York Yankees Tampa Bay Rays Toronto Blue Jays AL Central Chicago White Sox Cleveland Indians Detroit Tigers Kansas City Royals Minnesota Twins AL West Colorado Rockies Los Angeles Angels Oakland Athletics Seattle Mariners Texas Rangers NL East Atlanta Braves Miami Marlins New York Mets Philadelphia Phillies Washington Nationals NL Central Chicago Cubs Cincinnati Reds Milwaukee Brewers Pittsburgh Pirates St. Louis Cardinals NL West Arizona Diamondbacks Houston Astros Los Angeles Dodgers San Diego Padres San Francisco Giants Diamondbacks AL East Baltimore Orioles Boston Red Sox New York Yankees Tampa Bay Rays Toronto Blue Jays AL Central Chicago White Sox Cleveland Indians Detroit Tigers Kansas City Royals Minnesota Twins AL West Arizona Diamondbacks Los Angeles Angels Oakland Athletics Seattle Mariners Texas Rangers NL East Atlanta Braves Miami Marlins New York Mets Philadelphia Phillies Washington Nationals NL Central Chicago Cubs Cincinnati Reds Milwaukee Brewers Pittsburgh Pirates St. Louis Cardinals NL West Colorado Rockies Houston Astros Los Angeles Dodgers San Diego Padres San Francisco Giants

It's a C. I think he meant that the red and dark gold outlines don't go all the way around the logo and just leaves one end open.

Hello everybody, I was just wondering how one would achieve a text effect like in this logo: I am only concerned about the gray/silver part inside the white text, that gives off a 3D-y look but not quite bevel-y. I hope that makes sense... Here are a few other examples of what I'm talking about: Thank you for your help!!!

Yeah that's what I was saying earlier in the thread. I wish they'd keep it "flat" or just pick ONE of the two (arched or italics).
