dallasstar03 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Hello everyone. With the NIHA pretty much in the toilet, I want to start something new. Its called FIHO, or Fédération Internationale de Hockey. If you guessed that it was a fictional governing body for hockey, you are correct. It will feature teams, confederations, a World Cup-esque tournament, jersey concepts, and even fictional players. First I'll talk about the organization of the federation. Like FIBA, the continents are divided into five zones: the Americas, Africa, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. The countries are further divided into subzones, where the teams will play in order to qualify for the yearly confederation tournaments. (More on that when I talk about the big tournament.) As for what teams are in what zone, it's roughly based on continent. For example, because Mexico is clearly part of North America, it is in the Americas zone. But, for a team like Russia, which spans two continents, it will be in Europe because most of its largest cities are in European Russia. Full member lists and logos for the confederations will be up later, but for now, that's all Im saying. Hope you all like the new topic! -dallasstar03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dallasstar03 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Okay, I forgot to mention that I would be on vacation, so now that I have blissful Internet, here are the teams and confederations. Americas: Canada USA Mexico Brazil Argentina Cuba Bahamas Haiti Dominican Republic Guatemala Belize Honduras El Salvador Nicaragua Costa Rica Panama Columbia Bolivia Paraguay Uruguay Chile Venezuela Ecuador Peru Guyana Suriname Africa: South Africa Algeria Ethiopia Morocco Egypt Tunisia Libya Mauritania Mali Senegal Niger Chad Sudan South Sudan Eritrea Somalia Kenya Tanzania Uganda Zambia Mozambique Madagascar Zimbabwe Botswana Namibia Angola DR Congo Congo Cameroon Gabon Cen.

You may notice that I didn't include most island countries (I was somewhat forced into using some for Oceania) or small nations. For example, half of the Caribbean nations aren't members. I hope to upload the second part of this tomorrow, but I might not be able to. Expect it on Thursday at the latest. See you then! -dallasstar03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallasstar03 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 And a little something too. -dallasstar03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberwolf Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 You know what would be even better? Opening the thread with some designs! Your backstories are good, but this whole forum is dedicate to design and sports logos and uniforms. Only text and stories aren't going to cut it here.

dallasstar03 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Designs eh? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. Here is a logo I made for FIHO. It's even got a slogan! Tell me what you think. -dallasstar03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallasstar03 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Also, here's logos for Team Canada and USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uglybus Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I like you, kid. You got potential. But these logos are really rushed. I get the idea, but try to clean it up. Make the lines a little smoother. "Okay, Mr. OKC, you obviously have never been to Louisville." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that some corners of the Canadian Hockey logo are not filled in comes to mind. Look at the USA logo. I can see exactly where your hand moved while making the blue outline, and where you deleted some of it. The logo for FIHO itself has points where the lines get bumpy because you used your hand instead of a tool that can help make it look good. The ideas are great, and I like the concept of the logos, but the execution of them isn't great. "Okay, Mr. OKC, you obviously have never been to Louisville."

Instead of posting a rather snarky comment, you can slow down and work a bit more on these. They're very sloppy and you clearly the pencil tool, which you should never use. Please slow down on these, because these are very clearly rushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallasstar03 Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 Okay, so I'm a little late, but I am getting this done: The individual confederation tournaments. They are held every year that a championship isn't. Because a championship is held every third year, it occurs on a one-two basis. For example, a tournament will be held in 2016. So that means the previous championships were held in 2013, 2010, 2007, and so on. Under this system, confederation tournaments will be held in 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015, and so on. Unlike the championship, which is held in cities throughout a country, the confederation tournaments are held in a single city. Qualification for each tournament is determined by a multi-segment season of sorts. Each confederation is further divided into zones, which are the rough places in which teams will play each other. The standings for each season segment are compiled into overall standings, and the top 12 teams qualify. The top 4 teams get a first-round bye. The 5th-12th place teams are seeded accordingly: 1st vs. 8th, 2nd vs. 7th, 3rd vs. 6th, and 4th vs. 5th. In the second round, the teams are reseeded 1-8, and the process is pretty much the same as the NHL and NBA playoffs. By the way, most of what is mentioned above is different for teams in Oceania, and the differences are explained below: -There are no zones. All seven teams are effectively part of one zone. -Only 6 teams make the tournaments. The seventh-place team is the only one that does not qualify. -The top 2 teams get a first round bye. -The teams are only seeded 1-4. Expect the championship details tomorrow or Saturday, but most likely Saturday. I will also unveil the cleaned-up logos, as well as the jersey I teased before. (The red one.) Before I close, I want to apologize for making the "CHALLENGE ACCEPTED" part of that post. I was attempting to make a small joke, but I suppose it didn't come out the way I wanted it to. I am sorry. See you all soon. -dallasstar03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
