Uglybus Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I'm not a fan of the font. It makes some of the letters look weird, especially the W. "Okay, Mr. OKC, you obviously have never been to Louisville." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can I can see this. I really like the font sans the N V and W. Do you dislike the other letters or just that? EDIT : I changed the original post with an updated version with new lettering.

JosiahWVU Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Great job on Toronto. Great uniforms. I love how the skyline on the court fits to join the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windell918 Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 And the rival to Ottawa is... Calgary! This one actually just changed. Until yesterday it was still the "Calgary Riggers" I still like the name but I had a friend of mind looking through these and he mention how "riggers" sounds offensive. I still say its only offensive if you make it that way but given that was an issue before I decided to take the "PC" road and change the name to the "Drillers" The crest had plenty of elements that lent to a fun uniform to make. I wanted a unique sublimation. So i came up with this: My thought being oil smearing as if you run your finger though it but also incorporating the sharp jaggedness of the maple leaf. Went with "rough necks" a common nickname for oil workers. Lots of pink here. I think it would really contrast well with the black and white uniforms. I think I did something similar with the old court: Using the oil rigs the same way the the Timberwolves used to use the trees. That concludes the PDC in Canada: but there are still a couple PDRL teams left up there. C-squared always enjoyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windell918 Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Every fourth day you will get to see a PDRL team. Admittedly, these may be a bit boring. Certain elements are left "generic" on purpose. The idea is to make the developmental players strive for the flash and flare that is in the big leagues. I love semipro baseball but they make it fun for their players with crazy jerseys and events. Staying a semipro your whole career wouldn't be a bad gig. So here are some rules about the PDRL: •No player names on the jerseys. You have to actually "make a name for yourself" by going pro. •Teams must adhere to the Adidas jersey template set out by the league only changing for their team logo and team colors and sponsors. •Teams will have the league slogan " Greatness starts here" on their warmup shirts. •Players will wear a patch on their left shoulder representing which parent organization they are affiliated with. •Team courts will follow a template format with parent organizations' logos and no special court painting. •A player may only remain with their organization for two season (three if injury occurs->similar to redshirt rule) If they have not been called up to main club by this point they enter a supplemental draft at the end of the season. A player can not be redrafted by its original club but could be drafted by a rival club meaning they would remain on the same PDRL club. In theory a player could remain in the PDRL for their whole career but would not remain with the same club. If a player is not drafted in the supplemental draft they become a free agent. • Once a player has played 11 games (more than half a season) at the pro level they are no longer eligible to play in the PDRL. Here is the first club. Moving from Charlottetown to Montreal with a slight color change: eliminating the gradient. This is the template that will be used for all PDRL teams Here is their gear drawing mainly from the blue in the color scheme. And here is the court, using the templated design layout you will see of for all PDRL teams. Hope you like this club, up next we move to the midwest for the championship Runners-up from last year.

Windell918 Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 I have to work early in the AM so I days like today I will post the next team the night before. Better than the night of I would think. Here the next squad: C-Bus had quite the following last time so I didn't change much. I did rework the outlining (simplified) and thicken the center pattern. I also darken the blue a smidgen for better contrast. These uniforms used pretty much the same ideas as the old. Didn't feel it was broke then. "Union Made" was an easy pick for the slogan. Wont get into workforce politics but it sounded good! "Nationwide is on your side" Hope ya dig the new version as the old.

JosiahWVU Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 That logo is great and overall Columbus is good, but I fell that the clash is inconsistent. Either make the side panel weaving gray, or make the star and sponsor cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabel777 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I wasn't sure whether you changed the cream or the blue, but I knew something looked different. I guess it's the blue. I think that the logos look good, but the uniforms could be a little better. I think one major change would be to remove the huge rectangle down the middle but leave the 2 lines and star. This way the uniforms would still be unique, but there wouldn't be a huge rectangle stamped right smack dab in the middle of the jersey. I love the updated color scheme though.

Windell918 Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 ujju2- I was editing the post as you posted that. Probably why. I have edited the Union Set in the original post. Mainly reworked the jerseys but changed the grey some in the process. Next up is Maryland: I thickened some of the outlines and touched up some of the patterning. This is the first use show of the other template formate Im using with the adidas waist band. FLAG PATTERN! Pas D'Armes is a french jousting turn meaning "passing of the arms" often used as a competition title. Seemed fitting for a game where the players main offense is their arms. Hey Maryland Flag. How you doin'? Hope ya approve. Up next will a bit of a combination of a couple concepts in a new city that will hopefully "steel" the show! Creative,Constructive Critiques Always Enjoyed.

Windell918 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Heres the next set: A combination of the old Portland name and logos and Yukon's Jersey and court, with the color scheme of the the new city, Pittsburgh. Every league has at least one stylized monogram. I decided to do that for Pittsburgh. I feel the color scheme and the design elements in other parts make the simpler logo ok. One of my favorite jerseys from the first go round was Yukon's. While the logos weren't among my favorites I wanted to make sure the jersey design made it in. Also went off the color scheme to include the blue and white checker pattern from Pittsburgh's flag. I felt like "On the Prowl" was a simple tie to the team name. Went with black for the gear so they would have an all black look at home. Panther-esque The court echoes the jersey pattern on center court and has little black so the all black uniforms jump off the court. Raise anchor as we move on to the next PDRL team tomorrow!

jmoe12 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Been gone for a few days so I missed the first few teams. Gotta say, I'm super excited that dodgeball is back. I like seeing your old teams re-purposed, but I'd loved to get some new identities further down the line. For Pittsburgh, I really like the monogram, but I'd also love to see your prowling cat from the original Portland set get some usage. Keep up the good work, I'll be eagerly awaiting the daily dose of dodgeball as the series continues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
