AstroEric Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 [align=center][/align] Supposing the Marlins don't get a new stadium built? What then? Here's your chance to answer that question in the Move the Marlins Competition! The rules are simple: As an individual or teamed with other board members, show us what you think would happen if the Marlins packed up the operation and moved to another city. Give us team names, colors, logos, uniform design, stadium design, audio, anything you can come up with to make your team proposal as complete as possible. Taking a cue from SeanO's recent stadium competition, designs do not have to be in the form of a playable file, e.g. they can be anything from 3D-renderings, to Photoshop images, to scanned doodles, to photos of uniforms you've sewn yourself, and everything in between. Cities available for the teams to move to are limited to the following, real-life possibilities for the Marlins: Deadline for design entries will be Sunday, June 4. So that gives you a month-and-a-half period to do stuff up right. Entries should be posted in this forum topic. Make sure to credit all members who worked on the designs you post. Winner(s) will be determined by a three- to five-member team of judges, hopefully consisting of seasoned modders and staff members, provided they'd be willing to spare the time and don't enter themselves. The prize could possibly be a modded version of the winning relocated team to include in the game, but moreover, the acclaim of your peers and the enjoyment in graphic creation. Moreover, those that don't win are still encouraged to try to put their creations into the game. As the competition goes on, I'll be posting links to tutorials here that can help more inexperienced members to start modding. This might be as good a jumping on point as any -- lots of room to experiment with no real consequences if you mess up. If any other questions arise, feel free to post them in this forum, or PM me. Here's a little something to get you guys started: My designs for the Charlotte Flight. Good luck! --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean O Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I already have a park ready-made for it. It's gonna be brilliant. I'm so here. edit: Here's the park, still under construction, but the majority of it is set. More forthcoming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 i dont think i am up to this, but i will see what i can do. i have until june so i might get something going, possibly make a contribution to someone working on this already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroEric Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 DUnit: Definitely give it a try. A good place to start might be uni's. Check out KC's PSD templates. That might help you get started. Kenny: Thanks for the heads up about "Antonia." I was reading too much Willa Cather at the time. The uni's look hot, quite literally! SeanO: That ballpark'd never fly. It's too...symmetrical. :wink: --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy57 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I'll try to come up with a logo and a name, and then if I get that going, I'll continue with the project. We'll see how this goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarlinsMS_35 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 If anyone wants to help with my team, just PM, I already finished the whole jersey, so besides the stadium, nothing is left. I will make a basic stadium, based on Dolphins stadum, and I'll just change colors of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSoxFox7 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 STUPIEST THREAD EVER. They aren't going anywhere. They'll be gone within 2 years. Between the already terrible fans in South Florida, and the ownership further alienating said poor fans, they're not going to get any support in Miami. San Antonio is really where they should end up if MLB wants them to walk into a good fan base with money to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroEric Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 Fixed your post. (my park rules) Yeah, well, it's that too. STUPIEST THREAD EVER. They aren't going anywhere. It's just a simple competition. A chance for people to strut their stuff with some original ideas. If you don't want to participate, don't participate. But please don't clutter the thread with undue hostility. I can think of threads that were much more, as you say, STUPI. --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroEric Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 weren't they considering the charlotte flight to be the name of the charlotte bobcats when they were forming in the NBA? Indeed. I really liked the name at the time. It actually won the popular vote of Charlotteans. --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSoxFox7 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I heard Bristol, CT the other day. Where ESPN is. Although, I think the person who said that is from ESPN. I don't believe Bristol has ever been mentioned in the running to get an MLB team. Portland, OR; San Antonio, TX; Las Vegas, NV; Norfolk, VA; and Charlotte, NC are the places that have a chance at a team. As it is now, Portland is not getting the Marlins under any circumstances, and San Antonio is the only city to actually give the Marlins a proposal. The city of SA is willing to pay $200 million of the $300 million cost to build a new stadium. A judges order has given them until May 15th to respond to the proposal, so the city leaders have time to get it on the ballot in November. If they accept the proposal, they'll be in San Antonio by 2008. 2007 would be a possibility, but it's a stretch that they'd get the new place built by opening day of the 07 season if it's only approved in November of 06.
