Port Alrene looks great! I do have a couple questions though. I noticed that they have two different pairs of breezers. I just was curious about that because at this time teams usually only had one pair and it was usually a block color. I will also suggest maybe darkening the shade of red to more of a maroon, right now it is like a brick red that I think looks kinda strange.
Overall, this is a great start and I look forward to seeing whats next!

Although a pretty good start, I think I will sideline until all four are presented. I am awfully curious about the color set for a costal team, and I am surprised that there isn't some type of uniform or logo explanation section in your post given the deep history of Torland. I am not sold on this one because of the shade of red. I would either darken it to go in the direction of brown, like a ship, or just go with a truer red color, which would make a classic maroon/red and gold/athletic gold look. Either way, I think if there was a tweak put it into the story naturally. Have the raw creation you have set up used until it is time for an update and base the newer uniforms and logos off of constructive criticism down the line. No team is perfect and that is a part of history, but when it is right the fans adore them for years until they screw up again and have to do it all over (like the Sabers or the Canucks). I can't wait.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the great feedback! Good catch on the pants, they were just supposed to have red pants. The 1960 Bruins actually had two pairs, black and yellow, but while I experimented, I ultimately decided on just one color for the Anchors. I'll make that adjustment as soon as a primary color is settled. So I definitely dropped the ball on identity explanations, I'm gonna go back and redo all the posts to include more about them. Thanks for mentioning that. Meanwhile, I'll touch on some historical elements here.

So the brick is actually a feature unique to Port Alrene because the western side of the harbor is actually called the Bricktown Wharves, and most of the older parts of the city in Oldtown and the harbor areas features lots of brick structures and infrastructure. The original Anchors team played in an old rink in Bricktown, even though the newer Harbor Dome is on the east side now. The anchor has been a Port Alrene symbol since the early 1800's when it was just a deep harbor stopping point for larger vessels needing safety, since the harbor is on the leeward side of the island, it was a natural shelter from the vicious Arctic storms coming in from the North Pacific and the Bering Sea. So with that being said, what do y'all think about a darker brick color such as the one below? I like the original color but I'm open to suggestions and y'alls C&C is always fantastic.

I prefer this brick too but suggest sticking with your original colors for a few years before adjusting the uniform to a cleaner/better looking color. Teams don’t make tweaks to the uniform the day they come out after fans pass judgement because they have usually produced stuff for that look. It just seems more realistic to me.

I think that the darker shade looks great, it is brick enough to fit in with the history of the city but dark enough to look good with the gold.

I've updated the original post. I believe I'll keep the original color for a season or two before changing to an updated color. Thanks for the C&C!

I'm really happy to know Torland has a hockey league! I was a close lurker of the baseball league, and huge fan of Engor. Eager to support a team in my favorite sport as well

Thanks man! Stoked to see who you end up casting your allegiance with!

The Whales remind me of a navy-blue Detroit Red Wings.

Really happy to see this continue from the boards Steel! Well Torland in general, your baseball concepts were high class, and so far these are too, ill wait till all identities are revealed before making my alliances. Btw, will any cities that had a Star League team get a hockey team? In specific San Ferrio, I was a Tars fan and would be interested in continuing my support for San Ferrio teams!
