Reto Bay = Reebok Edge generic jersey circa 1975. What makes it different and acceptable is that it isn’t used by 12 teams!

You know you want a purple striped sweater for your ol' home collection

The Blazers are definitely interesting looking, those shoulder stripes are certainly bold! The more I look at them, the more I like 'em! The city of Prestonburg certainly feels like it's got a heck of a personality for sure! I'm not sure why, but I actually get some Philly vibes out of this city, (more in terms with the personality of the city rather than it's industrial background) which as an Eagles fan is a welcome similarity. Weirdly, I think that alone is enough to make this my favorite team of the UHA.
The Marauders look fine, although maybe the least memorable looking team. Considering the team's owner made his money in fashion design, that's actually rather funny, you'd think he'd make sure Reto Bay would have the flashiest looking jerseys out of everyone!
Once again, great job!
You're right about the Philly vibes fan-wise. They're definitely a unique bunch! haha.
I should have mentioned, Milo didn't design the uniforms, they were part of the design firm's stock set. Milo is also new to hockey so he wasn't very involved in the initial process. If the team progresses we could definitely see some interesting things though.

So glad the cookie-cutter look came across, definitely what I was going for.

We conclude the final two team reveals for the UHA.
1975 Trowburgh Eagles
Trowburgh is well-known as the financial capital of Torland. Trowburgh has big money as well as big crime. The divide between upper and lower class is very extreme with very little middle class. Trowburgh's Red Light district is infamous. The city can be fickle, as seen with the former Trowburgh Lions before they moved to Yubay. The newer THL addition Herons have had better success but is a limited sample size. With a crowded market in a fickle city, the UHA is banking on the big money spending of owner James McKinney more than actual location viability. He renovated the Trowburgh Arena to house the team, bringing the aging structure up to a more professional standard, although the repairs aren't suited for longterm. The team is named the Eagles because McKinney likes birds. They're green because he likes money. The navy is because it's the state color in Lismane. The logo was thrown together at the last minute by a designer on McKinney's staff. The uniform was designed by his secretary, who had a boyfriend who played hockey in college.
1975 Vensessor Swans
Part of the PVMA (Prestonburg-Vensessor Metropolitan Area) and the national capital of Torland, Vensessor is a federal district (similar to DC or Canberra) and is the Mecca for big government, military brass, and white collar institutions. The city's lower and middle class has grown exponentially in recent years as jobs became more available. The city is known to be something of a concrete jungle and not very pretty, aside from the world-famous Victory Plaza. Vensessor shares a mutual hatred with sibling city Prestonburg that goes very deep, so much so that instead of a larger shared airport, plans were scuttled and both cities built their own international airports so as not to need each other. With all the stuffiness and politicking, entertainment has been a growing need and sports have seen a huge increase in the area. Owner Wilton Henson runs several law firms in Vensessor and helped build the world-class Victory Plaza Center, a huge multipurpose athletics and entertainment venue. The name Swans, though not a nationally recognized symbol, has become synonymous with politickers and lobbyists in the capital. The logo is a simple swan enclosed in a circle. "Victory" red was chosen as the primary color and simply paired with white. The uniforms are simple and classic, with two-width striping, shoulder yokes and red breezers. White socks are paired with the home sweater and vice versa.
C&C appreciated! What's your favorite of the new looks?

Consider me a Kings fan!
Also, what can we expect from this league’s future? A merger with the THL?

I really like the Swans! The lighter red and color balance makes the set visually pleasing (even if the dominant color is questionable for the white set! Just kidding I’m more for looser rules in this Outlaw league). The logo also reminds me of the Phoenix city flag! Boo politics in sports, but woohoo for their role in inspiring a pretty identity.
I’m convinced now that the TEagles team will not find any ground in that city. Hell, it is more likely they divide fan bases and take the other team down with them when they collapse.

Swans are my favorite so far! I think I’ll be rooting for them!

Annnnnnd..... I just became a Swans fan. Their jerseys are simple, elegant, and an instant classic. Seriously, if this team survives till the present day they'll never have to change their uniforms. Oh, and the Eagles look great too!
Great way to finish the UHA and I'm excited to see the new league in action!

The Eagles and Swans both look great, I especially like Vensessor.
The UHA as a whole looks really solid and I look forward to seeing how it plays out.
Go Wolves!
