Expos Retro

This is my tribute to one of my favorite teams. If the lock out didn't happen they might still be in Montreal?

This was part of my childhood growing up.

1969-2004

Montreal was led through the 1980s by a core group of young players, including catcher Gary Carter,

outfielders Tim Raines and Andre Dawson, third baseman Tim Wallach and pitchers Steve Rogers and Bill Gullickson.

The promising aspects of the Expos gave rise to the name "Team of the 80s".[15] Attendance at Olympic Stadium

went up each year from 1979 to 1983 (excluding the strike year in 1981),[16] and the fans would express their

excitement in song — "The Happy Wanderer" being a fan favourite after offensive explosions.

In spite of the team's talent, the Expos were unable to finish above third place from 1982 to 1991.

They had up-and-down years, with a winning percentage of .484 in 1984 under managers Bill Virdon and

Jim Fanning and 1986 under Buck Rodgers, but above .500 seasons in 1985, 1987, and 1990 under Rodgers.

Gary Carter was traded to the New York Mets in December 1984 for Hubie Brooks, Mike Fitzgerald,

Herm Winningham, and Floyd Youmans.[18] Andre Dawson left as a free agent after the 1986 season.

The Expos had the best record in Major League Baseball, 74–40, when the start of a players'

strike on August 12, 1994 brought the season to a premature close. The strike dragged on through the fall,

forcing the cancellation of the playoffs and World Series. The team was six games ahead of the second place

Atlanta Braves and on pace to win 105 games. The strike damaged the Expos' campaign for a new stadium, and

the local ownership group chose not to invest additional funds to retain the team's best player.

Installation:

Copy the filef to your C:\Program Files\2K Sports\MLB 2K11 folder

(backup your original file first). To replace any of the jerseys

The files are uniform_wan_home.iff

uniform_wan_cl1.iff

With the uniform_wan_home.iff file you get the numbers on the front and the name on the back.

Your batting helmet is Red with Blue Expo logo

With the uniform_wan_cl1.iff you get the old fashion number on the back in Blue

but no names and no number on the front. Your batting helmet is blue with Red Expo logo.

As far as I know there is no way to mod the batting helmets. I have changed the logos on the Batting helmets

Enjoy!!! I will be making some more soon..........

From DonSPa:

I would like to suggest that u download a program called the generic mod enabler.

U can get it from the following site...

http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/software/products-jsgme.html.

This is a good way to keep ur original files in place and put the modded unis in a folder called MODS.

U can make several subfolder in here of the different modded uniforms from myself or anyone

else that makes unis.Then run the enabler and enabler which mods u wanna use at the moment.

Then start the game up and u will be able to access the mods.If u want to go back to the

originals just turn off the enabler.

This too always was one of my fav unis.OK if u want to change the logo for the batting helmet on the sequence for the uniform numbers u will see the logo of the team u are doing on the bottom right hand corner.That is the area for the helmet logo.What i do is i use paintnet for this file.Then i will add a jpeg of the logo that i want to replace the original with.once i place the logo i will save and flatten the file as a dds,then close it out.I will then open it back in paintnet again and will use the eraser and go around just the logo itself, so that the logo will blend in with the color of the helmet.Once u do this save it again as a dds.Now take that file and load it onto paintshop and all u need to do is save it again as a dds.Ive found it best to do it this way,not sure why but seems to work for me.Im not sure but check the green screen as well i cant remember if the logo is on the bottom right corner or not,if it is then u will need to clear it off.I know theres a logo toward the middle of the file but that one u dont need to worry about.Im not sure what that one goes to.

Nice work, udwph. I also grew up following the Expos -- watched them play in Jarry Park. And nothing against you, but those unis really did look like clown suits, man! Pure 60s-70s stuff baby!

Program paintnet works great. I found a few other tricks that work. Bring a Transparent GIF logo in then copy to add new layer, erase old logo from OG layer flatten save as dds. Then open in Photoshop and add same layer over top then save again. Saves 2 or 3 steps.
