The Angels look good, I like the helmet halo and the color scheme. I also like the Anchors, but I feel like the blue and red could use some separation, an outline on the home numbers for sure and I'd probably make the home nameplate white as well. 

About some of the context behind those city names, There’s no way that one single tribe of Native Escalians inhabits such a large Island. I myself have been developing a nation since November of last year, with a fairly diverse range of natives based on numerous Polynesian and North/South American tribes. Are there any specific regional tribes of natives in your country?

Big fan of the Angels, I think I finally found my team, love the colors and city background.

The Anchors also look good, the red and blue and are a bit of an eye sore where great but there needs to be white between them because there wouldn't be much contrast from a distance.

You are right that there isn't just one tribe in all of Escalia, but I haven't really fleshed it out much besides the language itself (which I still haven't given a name to it, which is why I used the Native Escalian moniker).

Saint Blaise looks awesome. I like the whole set.

For the Anchors, I like the logo. I think a bright blue/red scheme is tough to pull off and it's a bit muddy here. I would also add to the suggestion of adding in white to separate the colors on the home jersey, especially since the away jersey looks great with lots of white.

You would have thought that I would've learned my lesson about this after the Mallards controversy in the AltFL when applying it to the Anchors. Well I guess you would be wrong lol. On second look it does look a bit garrish, so that'll be fixed next offseason when everyone is making changes.

With that out of the way, here's the remainder of the offseason:

1964-65 Offseason Part 2:

1965 Entry Draft
NOTE: For the time being, I’ll stop doing the one-two sentence write-up for the draft picks since those take the longest to write and my freshman year of college is right around the corner for me (Fork 'em Devils!), so for the time being I'll be skipping over the draft picks.

1st - Tallokope City Anchors: RB Drew Abspoel (Tallokope Provincial)
2nd - Saint Blaise Angels: RB Arthur Habisch (Kier University)
3rd - Adelaide Owls: DL Harry Jensen (Great Plains Provincial)
4th - Ashonta Miners: RB Leonard Arts (Great Plains Provincial)
5th - Orcaster Racers: LB Jack Clement (Tallokope University)
6th - Ellesby Mariners: DL Jacob Cody (University of Argil)

11th - Kierport Knights: DB William Vacek (Taerrisia Provincial)
12th - Norfolk Lumberjacks: QB Gabriel Albert (Argil Agricultural) 

Coach/Player Movements
Two major defensive players called it quits after the 1964 season. ADL DL Janus Beck, the last of the original Huntsmen defense, hung up his cleats after 11 total years of play, and AUG DT Jesse Wechler called it a career after bouncing around teams for the good part of a decade. After winning the Cup last season, NOR QB Willard Taft retired after playing for 14 seasons, with the Cup win capping off his great career put on the back burner because of teammate Eddy Belmont.

The Owls decided to part ways with their first ever HC Ed Schumacher after a dismal 10-21-1 run over three years after 2 Escalian Cup trips and a victory in the 1st Escalian Cup. They promote DC Jeb Thompson to his spot, who has also been with the team since the start

League News
The Owners Council voted 9-3 that beginning with the 1967 season, the Escalian Cup will be held at a neutral site rather than at the higher seed’s home stadium. The proposal, originally brought up by Racers owner Gardner Hill the previous offseason, finally gained enough traction among the other owners to bring in more revenue to non-playoff teams. The Knights, Lumberjacks, and Gatekeepers were the dissenting votes, as they felt they would lose revenue in this scenario. The voting for the host of the 8th Escalian Cup would happen in the 1965-66 offseason and would be open to all stadiums that have yet to host the Cup as of the 1964 season. 

In uniform news, the Council made two big announcements. The first was that they voted unanimously to require a two-bar facemask for all players. The other was a plan that had been going on for awhile, which was the announcement of Zephyr Athletics to become the uniform supplier for the league beginning next season. Zephyr is a relatively new sportswear company, but have exploded since coming onto the scene in their hometown of Duvall. Their introduction potentially will bring the first major changes for uniforms since the league’s inception, which has excited many fans as a result.

Saint Blasie Angels: This is a great uniform set!  Claret and blue is certainly proving to be a winning color combination on this website, as every team thats worn it has been almost universally praised!  Real life pro teams need to start considering its use!  The halo on the top of the helmet is a nice touch and will definitely stand out!  Really great job on this one!

Tallokope City Anchors: First of all excellent color scheme!  Reminds me of the old Houston Oilers and thats always a good thing!  I will have to agree with the others that the colors do bleed in a bit with each other.  Utilizing more white will definitely break that up a bit.  Id also suggest reconsidering the shoulder colors a bit.  Nothing against being creative at all but when your logo has a classic timeless feel to it but the jersey has a splashy shoulder color approach,  i personally think its a bit of a jarring constrast. Still i think this team has a ton of aesthetic potential to it!

Finally i have to note it.  I noticed both of these logos are very similar to a couple of Veras' old football league's teams, (the Minnesota Angels had the exact same idea for the halo on the top of the helmet and the Boston Captains had the slanted anchor for its logo).  Thats either a really funny coincident or a nice homage to that league!
