Although not the set I was expecting for a team in New York, they are a great compliment to the Gargoyles, and still have a great set to boot. Love the explanation sheet! It makes the Emperors look like an actual team revealing their jerseys for the first time. 

Imagine seeing the Emps roll up to the field looking like an XFL team.

Buffalo Bolts: I like the simplicity of this set.  The home and away uniforms are fundamentally solid for sure, although I do wish there was a pair of blue pants with a gray bolt to really match the helmet style.  The "Stormtrooper" uniform is somewhat of a miss for me personally.  The helmet logo is really hard to see from a distance (which probably was the point) and I'm not sure why there's a random blue outline on the numbers and blue gloves when that color is absent from the rest of the uniform.  I do really like the idea of a winter whiteout themed uniform though, good idea for a Buffalo team!  Overall, "Stormtrooper" uni aside, this is still a really good, simple set!

New York Emperors:I was pretty surprised this set won!   From a technical standpoint, this is a really detailed set.  Everything from the skyscraper designs on the helmet and shoulders, to the attempts to really tie this with the New York Gargoyles (which just adds to the Alt world-building), to the explanation of uniform details, there was clearly a ton of thought put into this design.  I'm personally not too crazy about the yellow and gray color combination, but I do respect the work put into this team.

Today I am going to drop both Toronto and Carolina so I can spend tomorrow getting things ready for the WEST Division.

First up, the Carolina Reapers.  Winning design by Dr. Pepper with 51% of the vote! I personally like the simplicity of the design (Dr.Pepper-eque).  The Red and Green will pop against some of the darker designs in the league for sure.



Finally, the Toronto Beavers.  Section30 with 41% of the vote takes home the Toronto entry.  



We are half way there...which means we are only a couple of weeks away from the Owner Draft.  How's the wish list looking right now?



We are doing well on submissions for the WEST but are a little light on LA and San Diego if you are looking to target your designs.

Carolina: Love the simplicity of the design. Definitely in my top 3 of the division, so I may want to pull a MilesEdgeworth and steal it from the patron saint of Charlotte lol

Toronto: I'm not really sold on the maple leaf on the shoulders on the red and white unis, but the design sticks out on the black uni. Not my favorite, but it's still a great design

So currently, my top three for each of the divisions are (in no particular order since I'm bad at deciding my favorite):

South: Miami, Orlando, San Antonio

North: Boston, Buffalo, Carolina
