I thought I'd start a post for those looking for ideas and/or suggestions for their Teambuilder teams.

I created a team "Northwest Nebraska State" last year to try and set something up like HuskerBlitz's NSU or joshuahusker's Wisconsin State. Anyway, I called them the "Ruff Riders" and found a logo to use. Well, this year I was thinking about changing the name or the logo as it sounds and looks more like a Pro or Semi-Pro team than a college team. I was just wondering what you guys thought, whether I should keep them as the Ruff Riders or change their name/logo. Let me know what you guys think?

Here is my Home and Away uniforms:

Can this be an all everything type thread? Ideas/suggestions/color tricks/ cool logos found/ post pics/ compare-contrast/critique stuff without being a flamer or troll etc et al.

for me, logo being same color as helmet is a definite no-no . It needs to stand out more.

Sure, I think that's a great idea. Thanks for the first critique. :D

Yeah, when I created the logo I kinda thought the same thing, but was to lazy to find another after I spent an hour using mspaint to smooth out the colors... ;)

Anyone have any logos that would be good for the "Ruff/Rough Riders"? Also, are you able to convert or copy NCAA10 TB teams to NCAA11 or do you have to recreate them from scratch?

if you go to the present NCAA 11 teambuilder with blue screen-log in-search for your stuff using the NCAA 10 tab in the lower left where it says -choose year- find the team you to want go in to edit - edit it- save- the edited team will now appear for NCAA 11- the edits you made will not stick to the NCAA 10 team- after youve made the team clone to NCAA 11, you will probably need to edit from there again because text box stuff is screwy till finalized in NCAA 11- to go purely to NCAA 10 teambuilder- there is a tab in upper left that says -go to NCAA 10 TB- it will open up a green screen window- you dont need to go there unless you want to change a NCAA 10 team exclusivly.

Look under My Schools. If you're asking about converting somebody else's team, check this post in the FAQ (http://www.thegamingtailgate.com/forums/showthread.php?73-Teambuilder-(NCAA-10)-FAQ&p=8255&viewfull=1#post8255).

What I like to look for when I creating a team is realism. What I mean is when I am thinking about creating a team I need to have the NCAA logo or the manufacturer logo. (Nike, Under Armor, ect.) Also if at all possible I try to use some existing team parts like pants with the same color as a team I am creating with the manufacturer logo on it, or a helmet that I can use. If you are making a completely fictional team try to use one logo and use your other spot for the nike or whatever manu you plan on using.

I think your home uniforms would look better if you incorporated some white piping to the red. Try to use white piping around the numbers and the stripe on the jerseys or make the numbers and stripe white and the red can be used for your piping

Not a bad idea. This is essentially why I really wish there were 3 logo spots

I decided to rework the uniform and the logo. This is what I came up with...

Helmet

Why does looking at the home uniform suddenly give me mental images of the Mean Machine?

what we've learned so far-

grey/ silver looks like bathroom tile-
yellows and golds are hard to make without looking like maple or caramel haha-
I assume the jersey designs that interupted numbers last year still do the same because I havent tried them yet...? I really want to use the Arizona wildcats one , but....

the jersey designs that wrap around the back arent spaced correctly or the numbers are too big so they interfer with eachother, making it ugly.

Ah, yeah. I have seen a few of those.

Just gives me more reason not to have piping ;)

They corrected the problem with white looking grey at night on helmets thing a while back.

but using the color wheel for greys was still tricky and difficult and still could look like flat tile depending on what you did and its hard to see how light or dark a grey is before seeing it in game.

that said, i found a site with color samples to vary the grey shades and like the possibilities.

metallic silver is a favorite. I havent tried anything yet though...
