    Oakland/Las Vegas Athletics

     

    For this set, I'm gonna assume the A's do indeed move to Las Vegas after their current stadium lease is up. However, regardless of if they leave Oakland or not - I really hope they don't mess around with their uniforms. Oakland has some of the best sets in the game (and that's not just my opinion). They absolutely shouldn't move away from the green and gold color scheme, or the classic "A" hat. Really, I'd just like to see them replace "Oakland" with "Las Vegas" where needed and call it a day. 

    With that said, my set stays pretty true to this idea. Home, Road, Gold + Green Alternate uniforms stay mostly as is. I added some yellow trim to the sleeve logo, as well as a subdued 8-point Las Vegas star on the pants. Gold jerseys get white numbers. Kelly green alternate/faux-back uniforms are tweaked to include a reverse-colorized sleeve logo, and gold socks. Finally, the throwback uniform is an old-school home uniform from the powerhouse 1970's era. This set also includes a gold batting helmet, which although I don't think is entirely accurate historically, does look entirely appropriate.

    Henderson's name on a Vegas shirt is absolutely sacrilegious... 
    Yet, I would like to see some sort of "LV" cap...
    And of course, we would need some sort of Vegas Gold somewhere in the uniform.

    Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for a hockey rink template that includes the boards, like below. Willing to pay for the template if need be. My google searches have come up empty.

    I'm assuming "FrozenFaceoff.net" was the source of that template. 

    But that looks a lot like the old EA Sports NHLXX" community templatle formerly known as Breakaway.net.

    Then, I think they went to NHLDepot, and I think they are now wasserlasser.com

    Sorry it's so simple, I was trying to keep it as close to the original as possible:

    @ren69Absolutely stunning work as always. I was hoping you'd get to that one eventually :D

    The one detail I question on this one is the "horn" on the hat. 
    I think it's supposed to be the "roll/fold" of the rim of the hat.

    Frenchie, I could probably make some.  I'd have to find source material.

    That would be sweet.

    I'm not sure what type of source material you use, but I went online and googled a few of the big names of the 80s, and asked for large files (George Brett, Ozzie Smith, Nolan Ryan)

    I also looked at manufacturers'  websites, but those weren't really good (Rawlings, Majestic) 

  5. I have recently gotten into making some Baseball Jerseys and have really been enjoying the PSD Majestic template from John Benson.
    Does anyone know about a similar "foolproof" layered template for "over the head" jerseys (like the 80s, BP and Players' Weekend's)?

  6. I hated the Rangers' "Lady Liberty" sweaters and really don't understand the folks who want to see them replace one of the most classic sweaters in the history of hockey. Most New Yorkers have only visited the statue once, on a middle-school field trip... how is that a good symbol for a team representing New York City?

    Not to mention it technically sits in NJ's waters.

    From the National Park Service:

    Is the Statue in New York or New Jersey?

    The Statue of Liberty is on Liberty Island, federal property administered by the National Park Service, located within the territorial jurisdiction of the State of New York.

    You didnt contradict anything I said above. It still sits in NJ's waters even though NY has jurisdiction over the Island.

    Jurisdiction trumps territory. The US embassy in London's in the UK's territory but it's still American land.

    It's more or less an easement granted to the given country. And I didnt say anything trumped anything. Stop devolving this further into semantic stupidity.

    Don't stop! Where most people hate "Semantic Stupidity" I find it highly entertaining :)

  7. grown men shouldnt wear jerseys anyway.

    You pretty much hit the nail on the head with that one.

    Is there a reason for that? I don't understand. PArticularly on a website for people obsessed with logos, uniforms, and sports in general.

    Not to mention some "grown men" who wear jerseys earn more in one year than you will probably see in your life time.

    It's just my opinion. I just think jerseys are a little goofy for men to be wearing around, particularly football jerseys. And that goes for going to game or going to the store. IMO, there is no proper situation for the man jersey. And just because you make some money doesn't mean you can't look like a jackass.

    But they are ok on women, right?

    Tell me there is something sexier than a girl wearing an NFL Jersey.... ;)

  8. Alright, someone I know had this logo created for him, and know I'm going to put it on a uniform.

    I'd like to isolate and "straighten" the wordmark out of it, but we haven't heard from the creator for a few months...

    Anyone recognize the "MOONSHOTS" font?

    Or something close enough, since it will be straight, it can be slightly different.

    Thanks!!!

  9. I can't get the NHL Depot website to work, but I'm looking for a hockey rink template with the ice glazed over it. Does anyone have that file or a link to it? Thanks in advance!

    Too bad, NHLDepot does get down quite a bit, but they do have a rink template... I think I have it... yes I do...

    the Layered Photoshop file is 100MB, don't think I'll be emailing that over... Tried a PNG to show it, but it's also 10MB, it's full size 2048 x 5096 px...

  10. I have looked everywhere and tried multiple searches but there are so dang many returns to the searches I can't find what I need.

    I want a vector of the Edge hockey jerseys.... can anyone point me to a direct link?

    Someone did an awesome job on the Edge jerseys on a player once too.... can anyone help a fella out?

    Recently, I've been playing with templates from EA SPorts "Modding" community...

    NHL Depot is a pretty good place to find them...

  11. Can someone make a suggestion on what Font would match the best the style I used in the handwritten wordmark attached?

    Don't care much for the "B" as I will make it Fully Custom.

    Of course a FREE DOWNLOADABLE Font would be more appreciated, as I don't plan to pay for a font I'll use once or twice for Fantasy Logos.

    Thank You!!!

  12. This one always seemed wrong to me!

    fuhr.jpg

    WOW! not that I've ever been a huge fan of Fuhr, but I have no recollection of him in Calgary... I mean playing for the next door rivals??? how desparate do you have to be???

    Well, almost as much as thinking you can rekindle the glory years by re-uniting with the one (The Great One) who allowed you to win Stanley Cups with a 3.87, 3.44 & 3.43 GAA (and a Vezina wih 3.43!!!)

  13. Working on a Fantasy Team logo for a friend and I have no clue why, he set the team in Mississippi.

    I am trying to get some sort of water/waves efect in the logo with the word Mississippi, and am looking for a font that can create that effect (similar to what I drew here)

    Any suggestions? (as most people who don't make a living at this, a free font would be wecome...)

    is 6 full days enough time for a friendly BUMP! ... please?
