neo_prankster Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Very nice job. A lot better than Ted Turner's colorizations of the late 80s (One of which I do have on VHS, the colorized version of Key Largo) The Fictional Story of Austus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knnhrvy16 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 WOW, both really look fantastic. It looks very professional and you've exhibited great talent in this. GREAT job!!

illwauk Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I'd be willing to try some more, this was actually very enjoyable.Good stuff! I'd love to see this in color.Here's the only color logo, athletic or academic, I've ever been able to find from that era. I can't verify that it's the exact shade of green they wore back then, but use your best judgment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

In fact, given how dark the socks & stripe are, that seems more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
