It's supposed to be a portmanteau of gridiron and rugby, which could be a new name for my fictional Driveball game. Gridby sounds better. But that's my opinion. 1 Quote My Alternative History Sports Stories: CFL-USA - A Different Telling/StL Americans TL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dscrocket5 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Waiting to be able to start my own thread for this. With th pandemic at hand Ive had a lot of time on my hands. As a avid Football Manager player I decided to create my own US Soccer system. What turned into a small wish list over 6 months became a complete 9 tier, 700+ Club system. I create every single one of the 700+ Club Logos, Kits and Information. For whatever reason I cant find how to start my own thread for this.

This is an anti-spam, anti-bot measure. I will mention, too, that this is a sports logos and graphic design message board. What you've described sounds like sports fan fiction, which is not permitted here. I will request that you read the Concept Forum Guidelines and ensure that your thread is focused on artwork rather than stories and simulations.

dscrocket5 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) Thank you for your response. Yes, this project was designed for Football Manager however what I wanted to post on here was simply the Logos and Kits. These creations are 100% original and the purpose of posting them here was only to recieve feed back and share my artwork. No data files or any Football Manager files would be uploaded.

neo_prankster Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Some rough ideas for Gridby. Rough outline of the rules: - Roster size: 14 to 15 on the field plus enough interchange players for a 22-25 man roster. - Teams made up of Goalies, Backs, Midfielders and Forwards. - 4 20 minute quarters or 2 35 minute halves. - Game starts with the referee spiking the ball at midfield. - Ball can be advanced through handball (Aussie), kick (Gaelic) or pass (American). - Six tackles needed to gain possession. - Goalie can inbound to a teammate after the opposing team scores. - Direction of attack determined by coin toss. - Scores after the siren will count. - Field divided into three zones: Defensive, Midfield, Attack. - Players must stay within the zones corresponding to their position on the field. Free kicks: - If the defending team puts the ball out of its own end line, the attacking team get a free kick. - Attacking team can also be awarded a free kick if a defensive foul occurs in the attack zone. - If a player from either team steps out of his designated zone and called offsides, a free kick is awarded to the opposing team. Marks: - Pass or kick must travel more than 15 yards for a mark to count. - Only 6 marks are allowed per possession. - Seventh mark results in a free kick for the opponent. - Spoiling the mark: Opponents can try to swat or intercept the pass attempt. 1 Quote The Fictional Story of Austus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfessorBigShots Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Thinking about doing a smaller, faster paced version of baseball. Rules: Dimensions would be around 250-300 for fences, it would depend on the park. 6 or 7 inning games Mound at 55 feet Metal bats Juiced balls No shift? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashConcepts Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I’ve had this thought for a bit, but I’m not nearly talented or have enough time to do this- North American Football League. NFL+CFL (and a Developmental League where it’s a giant player pool, meaning that every team would be able to pull a player from any team). What do you guys think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambone792 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I am working on a creative side project for myself. I want to place a relocation/expansion franchise in Orlando for MLB, NHL, and the NFL. I would love some input/brainstorming form everyone here to get the ball rolling! I’m thinking I’d like to go with an outer space themed team names (inspiration from UCF space game uniforms). Maybe Voyagers as one possibility. I like the “cape Canaveral blue” as a potential color (also seen on the UCF space game uniforms). ive also seen some concepts based around Juice/citrus with orange & green colors that have peaked my interest as well. what are you thoughts on branding and colors for “new Orlando teams”? thanks everybody!

heavybass Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Right I need some help trying to figure out what do I add as the 12th team for the Mountain West since I made the Rainbow Warriors independent... my options are: 1, Find a FCS team in the west and add them to FBS level. 2, Revive a previous FBS team that went bust and put them into the Mountain West... I plan to add the CSF Titans of Fullerton a former Pac side to the Mountain West. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCarp1231 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Would anybody be willing to undertake a What if... project? An MLB landscape where all teams west of Milwaukee played in Portland at some point in their existence and all teams east of Cincinnati played in Montreal at some point during their existence. Also, because Wrigley Field and Guaranteed Rate Field are so N-S linear with each other on the team divide, they’ve both played in both cities at one point in their existence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joke Insurance Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I remember reading somewhere that during the 1902 and 1952 MLB seasons, there was a proposal for the current cities with a single team, to have a second team. Not sure how accurate this information was. Maybe someone can verify this? Anyways, maybe someone can do a series showing expansion teams in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh, and Washington DC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo_prankster Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Getting back to the drawing board. I keep losing interest in my previous Driveball and Gridby threads. So as I said, I'm going back to the drawing board with Austus. This time, I wanna create a simpler Austus game. Based on the gridiron/Aussie rules hybrid played during World War II. Field: Not sure if I want a rectangular field or a round field, but I want it to be smaller than a VFL/AFL pitch, but still fit within the same dimensions as an NFL gridiron field. As for the markings, I kinda wanna borrow the center square and circle from Aussie rules. But I'm not sure if the arcs should be 25 or 30 yards if midfield is at the 50 yard line. Also, I'm not sure if I want arcs for a rectangular field or if they'd look better on a round field. Another thing I'd like suggestions for is where to put team, league and sponsor logos. Nine players per side. 3 Forwards (1 Full Forward, 2 Half Forwards) 3 Midfielders (1 Center, 1 Left Wing, 1 Right Wing) 3 Backs/Guards/Defenders (1 Fullback, 2 Halfbacks) I would like suggestions for the number of interchange players. Uniforms. - Helmets (Not sure if I want NFL style, NHL style or multisport helmets (think Legends of the Hidden Temple and Guts) - Lacrosse style jerseys and shorts. Rosters Not sure if I want 27 or 36-man rosters. Marks Passes or kicks longer than 15 yards can be marked. Scoring: Goals are six point. Behinds are one point. Scores after the siren are allowed. Championship Name: The Grand Final Trophy: The Cowley Cup, named after Austus inventor Ern Cowley, former Carlton Blues star. Rough ideas for the league name: Professional Austus League Alliance of Austus Football World League of Austus Football Austus Football League United Austus Football League Major League Austus Football Majot Austus Football League International Austus Football League World Austus Football League A rough timeline of league membership. 1955: 10 teams. 1960: 14 teams. 1966: 16 teams. 1970: 18 teams. Membership goals: I want 24 teams by 1990. Then 30 by 2000. I'm not sure how to space out the expansions after 1970. 1 Quote The Fictional Story of Austus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
