Superleague USA

[Whittier S]

Over a year ago--I forget how long exactly--I proposed a preposterously huge 50-team soccer league. Some questioned whether I'd bitten off more than I could chew. And, of course I had. School and life got in the way. But now, I've found some spark to come back to this, plus my Inkscape skills have improved a bit. With that in mind, here is:

Here is the list of teams. These names are final. Some of y'all helped me come up with some names back in the day, and I thank you.

You will see that all but three teams have corporate sponsors for a touch of realism. However, I hate corporate logos on the front, so mine are on the back, like MLS did its second season. And, since this is my fantasy and since I'm using a generic template, there are no manufacture logos or guidelines--no giant Kappa logos, no Adidas stripes, none of it. Also, ten teams have international sister clubs.

And I will get to this series if and when I have time. I'm finishing my final year of college and am preparing grad-school applications. I will not have a lot of time for now, although making concepts is a pleasant diversion, and since I have my first entry formatted, future ones will be simpler.

If this thread sinks past a week or so, DO NOT BUMP IT. I will get around to it if and when I have time. Bumping it will not magically give me time.

So, here goes with my first concept of the thread...

[Whittier S]

(Yes, I just noticed I'm missing the outline to the shorts on the clash, I'll fix that later.)

(And there's a whole bunch more screwed up with it. Geez...)

[Whittier S]

Okay, I didn't screw up anything. The problem is one of the 2,698,436,296 bugs in Inkscape. It's cutting elements out from the .png. I'm going to take a screenshot of Inkscape and work it in Paint instead--hardly an elegant solution.

God, I hate Inkscape.

[Whittier S]

Hopefully this is better. It's the best I can do.

That doesn't work, either. I mean, it captures the image accurately but it's too small.

Anyone who knows Inkscape know why it's randomly deleting items when I go from .svg to .png? Thanks.

The watermark on the clash is the "TSJ" initials repeated to look like a circuit board.

Love the names. Jersey is a little bright IMO, but I don't watch soccer, so idk. Btw love the name Philly Brothers United. That's really cool. Ill watch out for that.

[Whittier S]

Thanks.

I can get the image to save just fine as a .pdf but I have no idea how I would get a .pdf hosted.

I watch soccer. The clash is a little too bright for a field player. It would be great for a keeper jersey, though.

I especially like the away kit.
