Well, it's been quite a bit, hasn't it? I'd like to start by apologizing for the wait. We here at AHSports College Project QCS vastly underestimated how long it would take to translate these incredible designs to new templates. Not only that, but one of us moved, one of us is a hockey coach, and another went through the entire real-life college application process. What I'm trying to say is, life got in the way. However! I have made the executive decision to forgo the translation process and finally show off what we made over a year ago. Honestly, the main reason is because I want to do another one and see what we can do, one year on, with the insane progress we've all made. Without further ado, I present (in alphabetical order), the results of the first term of the AHSports College Project!

Hudson University
Yonkers, NY
The Specters
Group 6: Gritty, Edgeworth, Sportsfan7, NeoPrankster
"We present to you Hudson University. Hudson's campus is in Yonkers, New York.  Founded in 2000 (not many schools in the US are this new).  Yonkers is just a few miles away from Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow.  The entire area was made famous by the work of the famous poet Washington Irving.   Hudson is home to the Specters! The mascot refers to Irving's stories about the area. His stories include Rip Van WInkle, The Headless Horseman, and Storm-Ship.  The mascot specifically refers to Storm Ship - his poem about the fearsome tale of the Flying Dutchman.  The Ghost ship cursed to sail the seas.  The poem places the ghost ship on the Hudson River.   We have three logos for this set. The first is a skull of a pirate.  The second is a weather worn 'H'.  The third is a ghost ship sailing through the fog.  We based it on some of the paintings of the famous poem. Some of the uniforms are meant to reflect a torn up pirate flag."

Real Universidad de California
San Francisco, CA
The Rojos
Group 6: Gritty, Edgeworth, Sportsfan7, NeoPrankster
"Our prompt was another fish, a population that only included 3 real possible locations, and it had to be founded 50 years before the state was admitted to the Union. These are not complaints but rather the challenges we had to overcome. It took a bit of time but we think we ended with a pretty unique identity.  
School History: In 1776, Mission San Francisco was founded by catholic priests. They were from the Franciscan order of Catholicism and sent as part of the group responsible for the Spanish Empire's expansion to the west coast of North America.  Their 'mission' was to evangelize and spread Catholicism to the Native Americans. This educational mission eventually morphed into the Real Universidad de California.  This is the common name for universities founded by the Spanish Empire around the world.In 1821, when Mexico gained independence from Spain, California became property of the new nation. The school became a part of Mexico as well. But the school's name remained. Eventually California became the Great Bear Republic.  After the 1948 Gold Rush that state gained its statehood. Throughout all of this volatility Real California was a beacon of education and advancement.(That's how we dealt with the non-California thing). 
Mascot: Our teams are known as the Rojos.  The lady teams are known as the Rojas.  Rojos meaning 'Red' reference the red sides and flesh of Salmon.  Salmon were a vital source of food to the Spanish explorers and missionaries. Our submission:Real Universidad de California also known as Real California or RealCal. Home of the Rojos."


San Juan University

The Cucojos
Group 4: Steelman, Scratch, dvdbubba27, Rugrat


Sawtooth State University
Idaho City, ID
The Whipsnakes
Group 6: Gritty, Edgeworth, Sportsfan7, NeoPrankster
"From the great state of Idaho is SSU.  Founded in 1908, Sawtooth State was founded in Idaho City, Idaho.  Idaho City is the first congressional district of the state and has a population of under 487 people. We thought it would be a strong candidate that fits our requirement.  It is in the Boise-Nampa metro area but has the land for a college town. We think that Idaho City would have grown a town around the university. Sawtooth State most commonly referred to as Sawtooth is named for the Sawtooth Mountains that cut through the middle of the state.  Sawtooth proudly dons the emblem of the Whipsnake as their mascot. In an early football game, the newspaper called the team as fast as a whipsnake. The Whipsnake is known for their speed and there is even a myth about how it chases people - although that has never happened on campus.   The main logo is an 'S' snake. Their colors are copper, dark grey and our required blue.  The uniforms for football and basketball feature snake skin.  We hope to be in a conference with Western Colorado - never been a fan of those Conductors!"


University of Silicon Valley
San Jose, CA
The Seahorses
Group 6: Gritty, Edgeworth, Sportsfan7, NeoPrankster
"We present to you the University of Silicon Valley.  Founded in 1971, at the dawn of a technological revolution in the Bay Area.  In the decades that followed the brightest minds of the nation flocked to the 'Valley' to advance the 20th Century.  At the core of the revolution was the University of Silicon Valley.  It quickly became one of the best schools in the nation.  It is a factory for producing future moguls in all walks of life (cough Stanford cough).  The campus is nestled in San Jose, California. USV is home of the Seahorses.  Their colors are a dark blue and a seafoam green. The athletic logo is the angry seahorse while the 'SV' logo is secondary for sports but primary for the university."

But we envision our throwbacks to be athletic Gold and Black."
