AnythingChicago Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 it's funny because some maps show St Petersburg in Asia others show it in Europethe same is true with istanbul turkey. I could flip flop those 2so it would take a bit of realignment in Europe. what do you guys think?Definitely do the switch. Also, in the Canadian Association, it would make more sense geographically to put St. John's in the North and Charlottetown in the East, since Halifax, Charlottetown, Moncton, and Quebec are clustered close together and St. John's is kind of remote, much like Iqaluit, Yellowknife, and Whitehorse are.EDIT: Also, I would switch out Benghazi for Tunis.And looking over it again, I would keep St. Petersburg and Istanbul where they are.

Windell918 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 I made the suggest change in the canadian divisions, but other than that I decided to leave everything as is. And I finished New York City. I wanted to keep it real simple. The name is based on the namesake of the city the Duke of York. I think nothing says New York Sports like pinstripes. I also left the name off of the jersey on purpose. I love that certain teams like the Yankees do that. The secondary is based on the symbol found on the crowns in the NY flag and on the Duke's crest. It also is similar to the NYFD logo's shape. The color scheme comes from the state flag of NY. I hope you enjoy the New York Dukes!As you can see I took off the divisional and conference markings off of my templates. I just makes it a lot easier if anything ever changes.

kbaker19 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 At first I was like, that D looks weird, then I realized HOLY it's an N and Y. So cool! Another great post. Thanks Dolphins91 for the jersey avatars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevsim1 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 At first I was like, that D looks weird, then I realized HOLY it's an N and Y. So cool! Another great post.Exact same reaction. I thought it kind of looked like the Tigers' D logo, and I was saying to myself tat it was kind of boring but since the team name is Di=ukes, I guess it kind of fits. Then I saw the NY. Mind=Blown. Great look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oaklandhusker Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 New York is awesome! The only thing I would change is the colours. The colors of the city's flag are Blue/Orange, and a lot of our teams wear them. It's a very New York colour scheme.But it looks great.EDIT: And that N+Y=D logo is genius.

Windell918 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 I was considering going with a blue/orange scheme and even tried it. It then screamed Detroit tigers. So I tried the state flag colors and i feel it set it apart, and gave it the regal look that befits a duke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windell918 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 I have about 15 team names picked out. I have some ideas for mascots that may not have a city picked out. But nothing is set in stone. It's no-ones responsibility but if you wanna throw ideas my way I will definitely consider them. This is a learning experience for me, and I like to think of this as the "peoples dodgeball coalition" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
