Thazer Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 This retro-alternate universe doohickey deletes baseball and makes soccer America's national pastime. The AFA American Football Association (1884) was a real organization that flamed out in the early 20th century, but not here! Lots of actual baseball history is used to fill up the AFA's back story. Stadiums are gonna be made in 3D with Sketchup and rendered in Visualizer! 201603-AFA-1st-division.jpg There's the setup for the 1st division. Promotion/relegation within the 4 divisions. Clubs and stadiums are inspired by a regions baseball history. Naming of the grounds follows the old British style of using the local area or a main street. Club names are all over the place because this league absorbed two other leagues that had their own naming conventions. The Western teams are mostly based off the real pre-1958 Pacific Coast League. Because there's promotion/relegation this table just represents a moment in time (...more like my to-do list....). 201603-AFA-LOGO.jpg There's the AFA logo wacky tunnelvison process work. First row set was trying to incorporate the American eagle and a 1 (as in 1st Division) into something. The overall idea was trying for a sleek art-deco bald eagle logo, which turned into an epic struggle to avoid anything boy london-ish . Each wing represents the East/West clubs. ..........aaaaand i've just saw theres already an epic concept topic using the AFA name. well. damn. onwards! -------------------------------------------------------- Completed clubs: 3/27 - FCNY 4/12 - NYCFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thazer Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 201603-FCNY-KIT.jpg Here's FCNY c.1973. Pretty much the Yankees of the league. ...minus pinstripes. 201603-FCNY-highbridge01.jpg 1st shot of the stadium work, building by sections. Obvious Yankeeness afoot. Doing the 3d stadiums will be a bruuutal but oh so magnificent undertaking. weeeee!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeG Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 This is awesome. Just after reading all the team names, I understood the baseball references; all the teams in the 'western conference' or whatever you call it, are all named after teams from the PCL and they have 'American names' while the easties got the Euro names. And of course the rest.... One i thing I noticed is you have 13 red dots and 10 blue dots. annnnnnnnd you only have 10 red dot teams names Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moser316 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I've followed your work on the Baseball Fever forum, and your stadium designs are nothing short of amazing. This is no exception. The logos also look very period-appropriate, great start to the series! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could take more cues from the Yankees and put a museum in the stadium. Just an Idea. Great work though, I'm loving this thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
