Re: AltFL - Design Thread

I'm keeping my list silent, thank you very much. I've learned my lesson. That said, the uniforms did dramatically shift around my list, with several teams rising up and two ones I had in my top 10 dropping far down. I'm just glad I have one point to my name, maybe the lottery will be kinder to me this time. No matter what, I'm glad I get a chance to be a part of this. Excellent work everyone, I dare say we have a better-looking league than the NFL.

Good work on that. For those who know, tread lightly, because this prosecutor won’t hesitate. Plus, even though I’m not the biggest fan of the Scarecrows name (I think farming and weather team names are a bit dull for Kansas and Missouri sports team names, nothing personal, just lived here my whole life), I’ll say that look is very solid.

Re: AltFL - Design Thread

I think that we have a great-looking league with a diverse set of identities.
Though I won't provide my shortlist per se, I will give some statistics about my rankings.

Average rank by division: South - 7.33; North - 18.67; West: 14; Central - 10
Top team by division: S - Dallas; N - Boston; W - Seattle; C - Minnesota

Next, some color stats. These are based on Home and Alt Jersey colors, simplified to red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and black. Grays became black, pinks became red, and browns and teals were sorted on a case-by-case basis.

Teams with a ________ jersey: Color - Average rank (number of teams with that color)
Red - 15.38 (8); Orange - 3.5 (4); Yellow - 15 (7); Green - 14 (5); Blue - 13.1 (10); Purple - 6.5 (2); Black 12 (12)

Half of all teams have a (simplified scale) yellow or black alternate. These are oversimplified and could be nitpicked over, but let's not descend into irrelevancy.

I don't know how much of my list you figure out from these statistics, but if you are so inclined, feel free to send me a guess that you logicked out.

Re: AltFL - Design Thread

I used a formula to rank my teams, ranking them most heavily on jerseys, so as with everyone, just hoping I get an early pick. A couple first place names will help me out, but... really I just don't want the bottom 4 teams on my list. They just don't do it for me.

Also, fun fact: my local team (Milwaukee) ended up in 8th for me, and I didn't expect them to be "down" that far.

Re: AltFL - Design Thread

Looking good on both STL and KC! As for now I’d be happy with anyone except like 2 teams which I am keeping to myself

Re: AltFL - Design Thread

We have a solid-looking league right here, yes we do!  (The Missouri teams' looks are spot-on!)

As for my wishlist, I too am keeping it secret (because I probably won't end up in last like I was for the AltHL Owner Draft)

Interesting, I think I'll give some statistics on my list as well. 

Avg. rank by division: North - 10.67, South - 15.33, Central - 10.5, West - 13.5
I'll go by (primary) helmet color because that sounds interesting to look at:
I simplified things to 7 colors: Yellow/Orange/Tan, Blue/Purple, Green, Gray, White, Black, and Red.
Yellow/Orange - 12.8, Blue - 8, Green - 11, Gray - 9.33, White - 17.17, Black - 16, Red - 9.5

So if we go by both of these, I'm most likely to pick a Central division team with a blue/purple helmet. Sorry Dr.Pepper, the stats never lie!

Re: AltFL - Design Thread

Is the Braun part of the Scarecrows’ slogan a reference to something?

I think it's a reference to the Wizard of Oz, where the scarecrow wants a brain, but it's also referencing "brains vs brawn" (it seems it was misspelled as braun) by saying that these Scarecrows have both.

Oh yeah...forgot about wizard of oz. As a Kansan, I hate it when people tell my I’m not in Kansas anymore.
