Oh, don't apologize, I appreciate it. I have absolutely no idea why that was happening for Detroit. The actual PNG that I uploaded was somehow smaller than all of the others, so it was showing at its original size already. I don't know how that's possible, since all of the uniforms are on a template and are the exact same size on my computer. Either way, I think I've fixed it.
Anyway, here are the Cleveland Athletics:
History: The Cleveland Athletic Club was formed in 1869, and fields teams in a dozen different sports. Their baseball team began paying players in 1888, and the football team followed suit 20 years later.
Leadership: Kieran McManus was one of the greatest athletes of the early 1900s. He competed in the 1908 Olympics as a sprinter and fencer, and starred as a back in football, a shortstop in baseball, and a guard in basketball. However, after volunteering for the Army when the United States entered WWI, he was involved in an accident during a training exercise with mustard gas, which left his face and lungs badly scarred. Though he can no longer play, he is still widely respected, and at just 32 years old, can expect to serve as president of the Athletic Club for as long as he likes.
Key Players: The Athletics are led by C Jim Lira and FB Amos Bowden.
Outlook: Bowden and Lira are both excellent blockers, but neither have had anyone of note to block for since McManus went to war. This team could land in the cellar.
Nickname: This one is fairly self-explanatory. The Athletics represent the Cleveland Athletic Club.
Logo: All of the Athletic Club’s teams use a roundel with the organization’s name and 1869 around the outside and an illustration depicting a man playing the sport in question in the middle. The wood grain background in the circle is based on the Philadelphia Phillies 1915 logo. The textureitself is by german-popsicle on DeviantArt.
Uniform: Maroon with a broad horizontal gold stripe and a large C on the chest, the Athletics have one of the most colorful looks in the league.
