shelbourne, you say? mate, i will have to instantly block you, i’m afraid … 😬😆 https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football/5236698/shelbourne-hajduk-champions-league-qualifying-round/ hajduk 👈 club from my first homebase split. europe’s oldest supporter/ultras group - torcida - is the club’s 12th player. they won the national cup this past thursday, ending a 9-year drought without national titles. eintracht 👈 club from my second homebase frankfurt am main. they famously breezed through the europa league 11 days ago, ending a 42-year drought without international titles. also national cup winners in 2018, ending a 30-year drought without national titles … do you spot a pattern here? 🤣 i have three more that i like for personal reasons and hope to see them progress to higher leagues: split 👈 younger »brother« of hajduk, their stadiums are several hundred meters away from each other. had a very good spell in the first croatian league when they played the europa league qualifications (fulham and torino were the opponents on each occasion), currently in the third league. my father used to play for them in the second yugoslav league for half a season in the late 1960s before he moved to germany. in his local club, omiš, he’s among the legends and was best scorer / player during his active time. omiš is also the same club where ivan perišić started his career. frankfurt 👈 shares its origins with eintracht, and played in the second league during its best times. currently in the fourth league. had a very successful section for women’s football and won the national title and cup a few times. kickers 👈 from offenbach am main. eintracht’s fiercest rivals, currently in the fourth league. two-times vice champions of germany (1950, 1959 -- lost the play-off against eintracht) and cup winners in 1970. won the hesse cup last week and thus qualified for the german cup. 99% of people would freak out if i told them i support eintracht and like kickers -- that’s probably the equivalent to liverpool and everton, just a few tads crazier. they have a positive score against eintracht, damn … 😂

i would go with federation logos, as that is the kind of logo every federation has. i believe in the next ten years or so, most national sides will have their own logo (the so-called »bigger« nations have individual logos for the female and male teams even), but currently that is not the case, so you’d still end up with a mix of federation logos and team logos, and not one consistent category of logos. however, i’d again want to point out that i’m not playing fm, so this isn’t a vote, just something to consider.

wikipedia in many cases isn’t reliable, sadly. there is a steady decline of editors, because often you have a few users who have hijacked topics/articles and then they gang up on others who edit against the former’s point of view (edit wars and the like), administrators do the same. it’s a good starting point, but no more than that. depending on which language edition you end up on, you will find conflicting information: example of racing club de france -- it’s an omnisports club, meaning there are sections for different sports, among them football. german wikipedia with outdated logos, but not the correct current one for the football section: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_Paris spanish wikipedia with the logo of the main omnisports club, but not the one of the football section: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing_Club_de_France_Football russian wikipedia (same as spanish): https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Расинг_(футбольный_клуб,_Париж) french wikipedia with the correct logo: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing_Club_de_France_(football) english wikipedia has the correct logo as well, but often the logos are outdated or incorrect there. primary sources (official club sites, official club social media, official league/competition sites, official municipality web sites, official federation sites) are the ones that count, not wikipedia, regardless of how convenient it is to go there. @Derek has elaborated more on the flags, i wanted to keep it short. but here is the issue with the many flags of martinique -- there are at least six flags that have been used to represent martinique: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Martinique locals strongly oppose the use of the snake flag (it was used for ships in the transatlantic slave trade) (in french) -- french president macron ordered the martinique branch of the national gendarmerie to stop using it as its emblem (in french): https://la1ere.francetvinfo.fr/martinique/citoyens-refusent-que-drapeau-aux-quatre-serpents-represente-martinique-545373.html https://www.sudouest.fr/france/martinique-la-gendarmerie-n-arborera-plus-l-embleme-aux-serpents-vestige-du-passe-esclavagiste-2932188.php

those aren't official flags, and the use of some is strongly discouraged (like the snake flag). furthermore, there is parallel use of different flags for a region/territory, so selecting one would be arbitrary. it's best to keep these in the »alternatives« folder, because their official flag is the flag of france as they are overseas territories of france. generally speaking, just because there is something online doesn't mean that it's correct, it has to be researched on a case by case basis.

tough call on the offside position, but ultimately justified. there is a difference between intended blocking/defending and passing in the rules. since fabinho defended, it was ruled offside. salah, mané and the others will have nightmares about courtois for some time.

thanks! there was a lot at stake, you could feel it. but all in all, the difference in quality was quite clear, and to be fair, they were more than lucky not to play with ten men after that boot kick split rode's skull open ... all in all, eintracht deserved winners in my book. after chelsea and sevilla only the third team ever to win the title without a single defeat. looking forward to the supercup game. 😁

❤️❤️❤️ EINTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACHTTTTTT ❤️❤️❤️

yes, they look very blurry. i saw fm slovakia recommend twice the size -- 800 x 480 -- but that seems still a bit small. i’ll sort a few sample sizes and then you can see what works, will let you know.

sure, here are a few previews -- i’ll try to find primarily views that cover as much of the pitch and the seats/stands as possible, make it a uniform look across the range. some stadiums are really impressive architectural concepts/designs (and executions, too). you could actually help me out on this one, indeed: what is the size of the stadium pictures in-game? then i could set a standard resize for the pictures i’ll collect. from left to right: eintracht (waldstadion - frankfurt am main, germany) - frankfurt (stadion am bornheimer hang - frankfurt am main, germany) kickers (stadion am biberer berg - offenbach am main, germany) - jagiellonia (stadion białystok - białystok, poland) hajduk (stadion poljud - split, croatia) - split (stadion park mladeži - split, croatia) lech (stadion poznań - poznań, poland) - super eagles (moshood kasimawoo olawale abiola national stadium - abuja, nigeria)

@Derek, yes i had noticed the glitch, but as this was intended to be a prototype, i didn’t bother correcting it. i did pick different shapes and contours on purpose to see if it would work on all club crests. there are also linen and other fabrics that i’ll dive into and then see what could work best, maybe even something in the vein of those printed-on badges that become washed out and then you see the texture underneath. yours is very good, subdued. it has a touch of embroidery. i was thinking of that as well, but don’t want to spread myself too thin at the moment. i started collecting stadium pictures to put together a stadium pack one day, and that’ll take up time, too.

i’ve been dabbling with an idea for a fabric/denim texture and would like to hear some feedback. this is just a first »sketch« if you will, and would have to be refined further, but i find the look intriguing.

2-0 for liverpool until the 64th minute, then madrid turn it around and win in extra time 3-2. 😆

oh, eintracht (and hajduk) supporters are special. they would have taken over east bacon's stadium, too if the latter hadn't wet their pants ... 😅😁🤣

they don't really need them. 😂

it probably makes more sense to pool the logos and post them together than to post them individually in the thread, just a suggestion.

better image for fa wsl from vector source:

correction: ID 930 (same logo) ID 91013553 (same logo) better logo than the source included in the »mixed logos update archive«: clean paths, consistent colors, symmetrical eagle and a crown that looks like a crown.

this one was missing and is the most important. 😁 eintracht continues its run towards the title ⚫⚪

corrections + updates: ID 92086584 ID 90075517 (same logo) ID 92086571 (same logo) ID 92086572 (same logo) ID 92086573 (same logo) ID 92086574 (same logo) ID 92086585 (same logo) ID 92086577 ID 92086583 ID 92086579 ID 92086576 (same logo) ID 91145394 (same logo) ID 92086575 ID 92086581 ID 2000115013 (same logo) ID 2000115012 (same logo) ID 92086578 ID 92086580 ID 2000148115 ID - none yet ID - none yet

@Derek, this is the color scheme they have been posting for about a week (they repost their profile picture every other day, goes to shows how much they like it). 😆 https://www.facebook.com/duncannon.fc/

the letter s is distorted and edges are jagged. i’ll keep that one on my list for future overhauls / redrawings.

there was a british fm, don't know if it was championship manager or another publisher/game, but what i remember was the fact that you could only buy british players for your squad, you could choose between scottish, irish (northern), english and welsh (super exotic!). i played that on my amiga, was in my teens then. of course, i reloaded whenever i lost and must have caused a glitch, because then i started winning all the games without even conceding a goal, at least by a four goal margin ... 😆😆👍🏿 good times. in the end i think either the game froze at one point or i forgot to save and the magic was gone! fast forward to fm 06 and i said this looks interesting. wanted to manage eintracht and hajduk and sign back jay jay okocha at all costs, started cursing the developers for their ignorance when he turned the offer down and then began tweaking the roster/database to get him. 😁 then logo collecting of croatian lower league clubs began taking up all my time, and i only got back when fm 17 was released, which looked a lot better, but was too heavy for my laptop and always crashed whwn i opted for the huge database, heh.

trailer for »time«: contrast couldn’t be starker seeing the bloopers now … 🤣🤣

fmg anthem 👉🏿

fm players will love it ... the word »mate« comes up a lot. 😆🤣
