I dug up these old images.(They're almost 10 years old)

One of the fun things about doing the 'Scotland' book was creating a Team Scotland uniform.

Here's how they looked in an illustration from the book...

(Please pardon the kilts...it was a kids' book)

Interesting...

A lion, sheepdog, horse, Nessie, and a head of bok choy are playing against a team of beavers.

Hey slapshot (bok choy's a thistle) but I also worked in a haggis, some sheep doing the wave, and guess where they played...

The MacArena !... Thanks again for your help slapshot.

That book looks pretty cool. I'm a sucker for hockey books, even if they are kids books. Anywhere I might be able to find this online?

D.P.... This one's out of print, but I do have some copies, so I'll send you and slap a free copy if you want.

[AAO]

They are pretty damn similar. Your photoshopped player looks pretty close to the uniforms he used. Maybe they did see your book and ask John to use a uniform like that. But, it still is just the flag of Scotland, nothing more. The logos are different.

But, I like your work with the kids' book, solid job. And your logo-sweaters look great. Welcome to the Creamies!

That would be fantastic!

I actually think it's a great illustration.

Nessie cheating with a glove on the tail nonetheless.

It's the only way the Scots can beat Canada.

Yeah, but how can you close a glove with a tail?

[sparkychewbarky]

"Our Nessie in net,

Was as big as a whale!

She wore extra-large pads,

And a glove on her tail."

Maybe it was a forked tail. Some monsters do have them.

[Saintsfan]

The problem with having Nessie in goal is that he often dissapears for long periods.

Jose Theodore?

I mean, is it REALLY cheating? Where in the rules of hockey does it state that there can't be a glove on the tail?

In one word, "Yes". You want the rules? Here they are and it's in the first paragraph.

With the exception of skates and stick, all the equipment worn by the goalkeeper must be constructed solely for the purpose of protecting the head or body, and he must not wear any garment or use any contrivance which would give him undue assistance in keeping goal.

Oh my God, we could have lost the game on default!

Two things here, 1 those are NHL rules. This wasn't an NHL game. And 2 how is a glove on his tail any different from a glove on his hands? Doesn't his tail need protecting as well? I am allowing Nessie's tail glove.

3. Could you take any more of the fun out of it?

I'm sure IIHF rules are similar, anyway.

That's what I wanted someone to post.

Thanks.
