Alternate History Sports / Building the League

**Posted by Dan O'Mac** 6/12/2023 10:04 am

I think we definitely narrowed it down well. Obviously some good crests left out, but that's to be expected (i.e. my favorite from Amsterdam didn't make the finals, but all of Amsterdam's submissions were good) with the quality across the board.

We have our first batch of badges for our AltLiga clubs.

Our big winner this round was QCS who won 3 of our logos. Also congrats to Steel and NoE for bringing home the other two.

Follow the progress of the AltLiga here. I'll keep the sheet open until Thursday night.

Group B logos are due Friday morning.

Congrats QCS, NoE and Steelman! I think that we have a great start to the league's design with these 5 crests.

Wow, thanks for the support guys! I'm pretty proud of those three logos and I'm excited to see them in the league. I dig the other two as well, a good start for sure. Hopefully we can keep this level of quality up for the other groups!

Update:

I wanted to address something that has bubbled up regarding the design of badges.

The Question : What date should people use if they'd like to include a founding date on the badge?

The Quick Answer : Designers should use 2023 as a temporary date until after the owner draft.

The Long Answer : We are treating the AltLiga as we have all other leagues. We will run a legacy project for the 20 seasons prior to our first fantasy season. Our fantasy seasons are considered the 'modern era' of the league. That means that the founding of this league is 2003. However if owners would like to think of their club as older than that they are more than free to. However we can only claim trophies from the Legacy Project and beyond.

To Review : For the design process we will use 2023 as a placeholder. The owner will be able to have the original designer adjust the badge after the Owner Draft.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Welcome to week 2 of the badge design phase of the AltLiga project.

A few programming notes:
-Rating will run through Sunday
-Finalists announced on Monday
-Winning badges revealed on Tuesday

-As usual please let people vote as they please. Let's save commentary, feedback and whatnot until after the winning crests have been revealed.
-Let's also keep the tenor of feedback positive. Perhaps save more critical feedback for people who solicit it. This process is for designers and non-designers alike and we wouldn't want to discourage people from submitting in the future.

-On Tuesday after the winning badges have been revealed we will also be starting the wildcard round. This process will yield our four final clubs. More information to come on Tuesday.

Now for the reason you are all here:
