Programming note: Starting next week, these teams will be posted a little later than usual. In the meantime, it's on to today's team. Marion County SC Team Colors: Swamp Fox Orange (Pantone 144 C), Stripe White (White) Team Secondary Color: Hamilton Maroon (Pantone 4102 C) Liner Notes

This team was cool to do, especially considering its city's stories. Marble City SC Team Colors: Midnight Black (Black), Marble White (Pantone 9185 C), Aggie Maroon (Pantone 704 C) Liner Notes

Huntsville may have the largest population in the state now, but its neighbor to the west is no slouch, either. Madison City SC Team Colors: Madison Navy (Pantone 534 C), Patriot Red (Pantone 3517 C), Jet Blue (Pantone 2170 C) Team Secondary Color: Jetstream White (White) Liner Notes

Let's look at some gravestones. Not scared, are ya? Lamar County SC Team Colors: Gravestone Gray (Pantone 4133 C), Phantom Gray (Pantone 2331 C), Bone White (White) Liner Notes

For this team below, let's celebrate someone that did a lot for disability rights in the US. Keller Memorial SC Team Colors: Ivy Green (Pantone 7743 C), Moss Green (Pantone 7492 C), Victorian White (White) Team Secondary Color: Socialism Red (Pantone 2350 C) Liner Notes

Looking back now, I didn't really think about it, but there was another sacrifice that had to be made for the team below to exist, but I don't really consider this one a sacrifice. Really, it was more of a scrapping. The team I scrapped was to be named East Shelby SC, it was to be placed in the Shelby County seat of Columbiana, and it would've had the colors of maroon and white. While it had a cool logo design, the problems I had were that (1) in the end, I couldn't justify placing a team there and (2) there was a scant amount of companies in the Columbiana area for the team to be sponsored by. So with this team below, we're going from one 'wood to another 'wood. Homewood SC Team Colors: Red (Pantone 2347 C), White, and Blue (Pantone 289 C) Liner Notes

Before I present today's team, it's now time to talk about another sacrifice I had to make in order for the team below to exist. The team I sacrificed was to be named Greene County SC, and it would've been located in the county seat of Eutaw. It would've been nicknamed "The Greyhounds" and themed around the sponsor of the team, Greenetrack Entertainment Center, which had greyhound racing as its main attraction, and it would've had the team colors of green and gray. The reason this sacrifice was made was something kind of unfortunate for the local populace of Eutaw and Greene County, and it happened only a short amount of time before I was to put the team together. On Feb. 1st of this year, the Greenetrack Entertainment Center shut its doors for good. So instead of that team, let's look at a big mansion... Gaineswood SC Team Colors: Greek Flag Blue (Pantone 286 C), Doric White (White) Liner Notes

This team is for me two things today: (1) a sort-of homecoming, and (2) it was another "United" team, but I felt that this identity is so good that it didn't necessarily warrant that. Gadsden SC Team Colors: Cardinal Red (Pantone 193 C), White Liner Notes

We're going back down to the Capital Region for our next team. Fountain City SC Team Colors: Fontainebleau (Cobalt Blue), Artesian Well Gray (Gray) Liner Notes

Consider this the all-Florence post, because you are getting two teams today. The first team on the docket... Florence City SC Team Colors: Florentine Purple (Pantone 268 C), Lily White (White), Alabama Red (Pantone 485 C) Liner Notes Now as for the other team, I first have to talk about one of the sacrifices that I had to make in order for this team to exist. The team I sacrificed was to be named Franklin County SC. It was to be placed in the county seat of Russellville. It would've had the colors of the watermelon (red, green, and black) as the team colors because this team would've had the nickname "The Melonheads". I even had a logo and a sponsor all set, too, but when I went to put it together, I realized what I was about to do would've had undertones of racism, which I am never about. So instead of that, you get... Florence United SC Team Colors: United Brown (Pantone Black 4 C), Bradshaw Orange (Pantone 1655 C), Coffee Gold (Pantone 116 C) Liner Notes

For the third team in the Central West, we have...a company team based around syrup. Fayette SC Team Colors: County Orange (Pantone 7579 C), Syrup Gold (Pantone 1235 C) Team Secondary Color: Sugar White (White) Liner Notes

Let's look at some bugs, shall we? Enterprise SC Team Colors: Royal Blue (Pantone 2186 C), Cotton White (White) Liner Notes

This team may be in the Wiregrass conference, but it's so far away from all the others, it might as well be in another time zone. Well, about that... Easternmost SC Team Colors: Phenix Red (Pantone 7417 C), Flame Gold (Pantone 109 C) Team Secondary Color: Night Black (Black) Liner Notes

I guess I must've really liked the Gulf Coast because we're heading back there for team #6 in the conference. Eastern Shore SC Team Colors: Squid Ink Purple (Pantone 2112 C), Shore Teal (Pantone 7699 C), White Sand (White) Liner Notes

Believe it or not, this is only the second team in the Central West. Druid City SC Team Colors: Druid Green (Pantone 2417 C), Alabama Crimson (Pantone 201 C), Capstone White (White) Team Secondary Color: Petronas Green (Pantone 7717 C) Liner Notes

...and now we meet Dothan City's immediate rival. Doughboys SC Team Colors: Army Green (Pantone 4217 C), Doughboy Orange (Pantone 158 C) Team Secondary Color: Military Beige (Pantone 4515 C) Liner Notes

We're getting into the real Wiregrass region now with this team. Dothan City SC Team Colors: Peanut Shell Brown (Pantone 4655 C), Chocolate Brown (Pantone 732 C), Cream White (White) Liner Notes

...and the Army goes rolling along. Depot SC Team Colors: Camo Green (Pantone 5815 C), Camo Beige (Pantone 4267 C) Liner Notes

Back to the Gulf Coast Conference for our fourth team. Oink. Conecuh County SC Team Colors: Pig's Blood Red (Pantone 1795 C), Butcher Coat White (White), Apron Black (Black) only as a trim color Team Secondary Colors: Evergreen Emerald (Pantone 3278 C), Collard Green (Pantone 4201 C) Liner Notes

Finally, we have our first team in the Central West. Coal City SC Team Colors: Helmet Yellow (Pantone 3965 C), Coal Black (Black) Liner Notes

Nope, it's not just you. The state does have its fair share of car-building plants. Therefore, the state also has manufacturing plants that build parts for those cars. Since they're not a sponsor for a team, I googled TSTech, the auto parts manufacturer/plant in my hometown. Turns out that plant builds parts for Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, and even Harley-Davidson. Among the several things I learned when creating this league is that the global automotive industry is a lot bigger than even one realizes sometimes, and just like a car itself, there are several moving parts that make it all work. I know off the top of my head of five major car-building plants that are located all throughout the state, and so far, I only mentioned one of them, I believe. Thanks for your question!
