kevsim1 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Hey all! Back with just a quick concept today, this time a bracket for the Playoffs. My idea was to use the 4 round of the playoffs (WC included) as the 4 bases on a ball diamond. The various series we'd see are scattered around the basepath, with:1st Base: WC games2nd Base: ALDS/NLDS3rd Base: ALCS/NLDSHome Plate: World SeriesThe winning team would replace the commissioner's trophy in the middle of the diamond. Along with this, as you can see with KC over Oakland, each win will be be a filled in square beside the team. Once a team is eliminated, see Oakland, the logo will do grayscale with a red X in the corner.Any suggestions? Is it clear enough, the whole around the bases thing? I can post updates however often, end of rounds, every few days, whatever.Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masterchaoss Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 This is awesome, as tigers has stated it's vary original. Kershaw is GOD! Kershaw is LIFE! Kershaw is ALL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHcreative Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I like the idea as a whole, very unique. However, the A's logo is not in grayscale as you have stated, it still appears green (at least to me it does). Anyway, I like the idea of "graying out" the losing team and I feel as though that an effective enough indicator of that team's elimination. I see no need for the red 'X' in the top corner, it just looks forced and unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATolly66 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 This is very cool. I hope you keep updating these through the postseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no need for the red 'X' in the top corner, it just looks forced and unnecessary. I did set it to grayscale. I don't know if it's me or you that's seeing it wrong.As for the X, my real reason was for the Tigers, as their colour scheme in grayscale would be almost identical. I think I can roll without the X though, yea. Thanks for the comment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaline97 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I agree with Heitert, the red X is a little overdone, the greyscale is sufficient. I'm seeing some green too, I can tell you set it to greyscale, but I still see some color coming through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAWeaver Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I see grayscale. The red X is a little much. The problem is that the gray has a similar hue (is that the right word?) to the normal green. You could just make it black and white and avoid the gray all together. I do like the idea though. @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevsim1 Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 This better?The one problem I see with making all the backgrounds black is Baltimore. Are we saying that this would be better, like the old version with Oakland wasn't...acceptable per se? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMtexan09 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Actually i though using grayscale was a correct way of showing who is out of playoffs. But with red cross, maybe it is not needed at all since the blocks have colors to view the numbers of wins they have in playoffs. overall good one! FEAR THE FROG! LET'S GO TCU!!

Canadiansportsswag Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I like the idea of the diamond It looks super cool too to bad my pirates lost 8-0 last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDGP Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I think the problem is that the greyscale is too dark for the A's. I'd suggest lightening it for them, which should prevent it from looking too much like their current green color. I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

kevsim1 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 What do we think? An update every time a team advances/is eliminated? All that's changing is filling out a couple squared here and there. I can just edit the first post everyday if you want though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just edit the first post everyday if you want though.I'd vote for an update after the last game of every day ends. Maybe keep a list link in the original post so we can see the progression? Just an idea. Love what you're doing, keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCarp1231 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Wait so why aren't you updating it... Orioles, Giants, Royals should have 2 boxes filled inCardinals and Dodgers should each have one box filled in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a day-by-day slideshow. I suppose I'll just post the new one daily, can't hurt.And today's updated one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
