NFL Historical Logos: 60-24

Example: The pic just shows the Rams history. the pic name is created to represent the team number as listed in game in a 32 team schedule, then the year ranges used. i.e., team26_60_71 is the logos the Rams used from 1960 thru 1971.

To use these as provided here you will need to go in game and change the team logos there. Maybe later I will do a subset that you can just plug in for each year but not right now.

NOTE: I have found that using the NFL 1970 or 1977 universes with nilidors historical files it is better to start with either a preference or full draft.


NFL 1977: 28/6/16

Welcome to 1977! All needed files are included in the zip file. In addition I have added the player and QB files created by nilidor (historical names - not stats).

Welcome to 1970! All needed files are included in the zip file. You have a choice of logos or helmets. In addition I have added the player and QB files created by nilidor (historical names - not stats).

WFL League 1974:

https://i.imgur.com/lsYGl4y.png

Welcome to 1974 and a representation of the WFL - World Football League! For those out there looking for something "different"! Note: This is an 18 team league that is very WFL representative. I did move the Chicago Wind to another top 10 windy city - Buffalo because of the Chicago Fire! Otherwise for all us mature types it comes close.

File includes homemade team helmet logos (replaces the universe logo set) and the required default_teams, team_info (both go in the default folder) and 1974_info file (goes in the custom folder).

I will update the names, listed by team name, once I verify the numbering sequence is.

[nickelback]

Looks amazing!

[Gauss]

Lookin' good as always, NF.

[Sweed]

Very nice. Thanks for doing these. :)

[tzach]

amazing as always -- thanks for providing these

[NawlinsFan]

NFL helmets, logos, EFL logos and NSFL logos done. Taking a break for a bit. Working a lot of fantasy logos as well.

[Cole]

These are great, thanks for doing this! Also excited to hear you're going to be doing fantasy/fictional logos, as that's the only way I play and this will be great for immersion.

[beatle]

I was wondering if you were thinking about doing some historical helmets, 70's Patriots, Denver, Houston Oilers, LA Rams, SD?

[NawlinsFan]

Already started. Takes a bit more time.

[beatle]

Great, Thank you!

[NawlinsFan]

Great, Thank you!

Working the logos first. Will look into helmets later.

[Olsson]

As alway great work with the graphics. Looking forward to fantasy logos as well.

[NawlinsFan]

Bump added 2 more, full NFL helmets and 60 fantasy/known logos.

[coachcbj]

Bump added 2 more, full NFL helmets and 60 fantasy/known logos.

Would you be willing to do CFL Logos please?
With greater emphasis on Canadian and European teams, I plan on doing a North American Football League with US and CANADA Conferences.

I just happened to have a set I did some time ago. I added the Schooners when I did this as there was talk of adding them at that time.

Added.

[Cole]

Thanks for the new logos !

Amazing work! Not to be greedy but can we get NSFL Helmets?

[NawlinsFan]

Not knowing for sure how the slivers are pulled in game I went ahead and created anothe NFL logo set with no border and with a sliver for each just in case it is a separate file.

We will see.

[MizzouRah]

Can't wait, always appreciate your fantastic work!!

[NawlinsFan]

Bump - first post release set loaded. Straight logos for a 32 NFL format. Working on aliggning helmets next, if I can.

I also added a modded csv file to set the team names. Still working it but the NFL teams are in as well as the Canadian teams.

[Mike Lowe]

I see where to place the default_teams.csv file, but not the logos.

I'm not seeing where to put these, based on previous years (AppData\Roaming). I also didn't see it in the Steam\SteamApps\Common area?

Its within the thread for the league you created in a "logos" folder

[rkmsuf]

weird I only see logos in the logos folder. all .bmp files.

[NawlinsFan]

weird I only see logos in the logos folder. all .bmp files.

I'm sorry, you mean the csv file (?). That goes in the default_data folder where the game istelf installs.

[rkmsuf]

yes. sorry about that and all the questions. where is that typically? I wasn't paying attention and just clicked through on install.

[NawlinsFan]

I'm working another set of helmet logos but in order for them to work on the standings and schedule pages they are half the size of the regular logos. It's not that bad overall but does make a difference.

Also, should Jim peek in here. The game folder page enlarges the logo files causing rough edges. Is there any way to have them either displayed as they are on the top of the team page or even reduced slightly?

Reduced helmets display like this:

[korme]

I put that csv in that folder but when creating a new game I still get the Cincinnati Monarchs and such.

I'm also having this issue.

[NawlinsFan]

Which configuration are you running? 32 teams? 24?

your drive:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Front Office Football Nine\default_data

[mmartin68]

Where so I put the .csv file? Sorry not very knowledgeable on this.

Mike

[mmartin68]

I am also getting the made up team names after putting them in the folder it is supposed to.

[korme]

I ended up manually editing the team_info csv for the 2023 teams and put in the correct nicknames. That worked.

Why can't we do this in the game?

[NawlinsFan]

I am also getting the made up team names after putting them in the folder it is supposed to.

Interesting. I have used it twice now to create a 32 team league and it was fine and I verified the names are changed. Not sure why the names are the original ones. I will continue to dig.

[Sweed]

Having this happen to me too. Here is what I've been through.

Copied in the real team name csv. Opened it and confirmed the names were changed. Started a new save, still had fictional names.

FOF9 was on my D drive. Uninstalled/reinstalled, copied csv file, started game, still fictional names.

Uninstalled FOF, deleted solesismic file in appdata. Reinstalled on C, copied in csv before ever opening the game. Started FOF for the first time. Created league, still have fictional team names.

I'm not understanding this at all. Game was never opened with the default file. Where are the default fictional names coming from?

Not expecting you to be tech support for FOF, just adding to the converstaion hoping a common cause can be found ;)

[OldGiants]

I can see from the time stamp that "default_teams" is the version I copied in after I installed. In the correct folder. Yet the team names remain default fictional.

Not sure what else to do except punt and try to get the ball back.

There are two different files, and which one is used depends on how you start the game. I can't look right now because I have it simming 25ish seasons, but one of them has league structure info in it in like the first column on the left that tells you this is used for a 32-team, 16-game league or whatever, so if you are starting your league with a specific configuration, you need to have that one customized. Then the other one is used for..something else.

[Ben E Lou]

Dola...just found it in the .txt files.


"default_teams.csv

Information used to create teams when starting a new league, and no specific single-year configuration is used. Teams are connected to a specific league structure instead. This information is not used when starting a new league when random team hosts are selected.
"


vs


"team_info.csv

Information used to create teams when starting a new league, and a default configuration is chosen related to a specific season. This replaces the Default Teams table for those leagues."

Thanks Ben, that was it. Renamed teams in the tea_info and all is well.

[Gallifrey]

As Ben pointed out;

Location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Front Office Football Nine\default_data

Modify:

default_teams.csv
teams_info.csv

When you start a new universe you will get the updated names.

In team_info.csv you have all your stadium information.
In default_teams.csv you have your color scheme information.

[HansMellman]

Found it. For anyone else not sure, it's here:

\AppData\Local\Solecismic Software\Front Office Football Nine\saved_games\YOURLEAGUE\logos

Does this mean that this process will need to be repeated upon each new league creation?

[korme]

I've had to copy those team logos in all 3 test leagues I ended up creating.

[Gallifrey]

Does this mean that this process will need to be repeated upon each new league creation?

No, it is a one time change.
Once you set the team nicknames here you are good for future universes.

[Gallifrey]

I've had to copy those team logos in all 3 test leagues I ended up creating.

Team logos are different.

An easy way is once you have a universe with the logos updated, create a copy of the folder and drop it into any new universe.

[HansMellman]

No, it is a one time change.
Once you set the team nicknames here you are good for future universes.

Yeah, that's with the names - I was referencing the addition of the logos, as those seem to require being placed into the directory of each newly created save game.

[INDalltheway]

So who is going to make a less silly 'injureman' graphic? :D

For some reason the one in game drives me nuts

[NawlinsFan]

Let me try. We likely can't be will see.

[mikemarra82]

I am having my difficulties as well trying to work the files, change logos and renames teams. A bit too much for me right now. Going to take a step back for a few days. Hoping its more than just me and can be corrected.

[INDalltheway]

Here is a screen capture on how to get the right nicknames when creating a new universe. (https://clipchamp.com/watch/1vLz7F9rzNm)

Download Nawlins (thanks sir!) 'default_teams.csv' file first (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c34w1YcBGPnP5RzS9bqW2FCCNKTzImrc/view?usp=sharing)

[Gallifrey]

Cool, I was just going to do a video of this.

[NawlinsFan]

I looked over the team_info file and it looked as if the stadiums were set up right. Yet as I play I see issues as it shows teams with the wrong configurations, i.e. Saints show outdoor temps, others in Domes when they shouldn't be. Have to do some more digging.

Thanks Dutch. The last set I added, NFL, are all set up correctly and just need to be DL'd into the folder.

[NawlinsFan]

Added a second set of logos this time with team colored backgrounds instead of the black/gray from the game. Personally I think it looks better.



A note regarding changing logos. In game when you do it make sure you check the 3 boxes on that screen; Do not modify image, Do not replace white pixels, do not replace black pixels.

Yes I found out that just today!

I know for the team we control, you can load up a new logo via top bar team menu --> TEAM LOGO.

Is there a similar screen the player can access for all the AI teams, or is it only changeable for the teams we don't control by just replacing the generic logo in the LOGOS folder ?

Yes for the AI teams. When you are looking at your teams logos, just cycle through the teams on the dropdown and update all of them.

If you want the logos for the flag replacement you can get them here.

[NawlinsFan]

Tweaked the field file for the in-game play. To small to really make any difference but I couldn't pass it up. It's has been posted.


I have also been trying to rework the scoreboard number, timeout and ball displays and damn, I can't figure it out, yet! I was able to do it in FOF8 and there has to be a way.

[Bobble]

Having a lot of trouble with making my own logos. Is there a particular format (besides .bmp) that it has to be. A specific dpi? A specific .bmp format?

[Cole]

I don't know the technical answer specifically, except I believe a 24-bit BMP ...

I got burned on this, as the facepack I made were all 150 x 150 BMPs, but apparently not the correct format until I ran them all through a batch convert program and saved as a "Windows BMP" and it worked out OK.

[beatle]

I put a few helmet logos in, but they are kind of dim looking, not bright as I think they should be. I sure the setting is the problem. What am I doing wrong?

Nope, Jim like bmp files. I have been saving them as both 24 or 32 dpi with no issue. The desaturated, black and white, versions save as an 8 dpi.

Out of GIMP, they don't work. But, I ran them through IrfanView and they work fine. <shurg>

[Cole]

I loaded your fictional logos for all teams in a test league and it makes a big difference in immersion... they look good!


Is there any chance you've got any fictional league logos in the works/that already existed from past versions of the game that you may upload?

I'm scouring the internet to try to find some suitable logos for the international USA/Canada/UK league I plan to eventually run with, but figured no sense in trying to reinvent the wheel if better stuff is coming or available...

Anybody doing a Houston Oilers Helmet and a 70's Denver Bronco helmet?

[NawlinsFan]

Anybody doing a Houston Oilers Helmet and a 70's Denver Bronco helmet?

I actually have the 70's logos done. Was trying to get the stadium set t owork in the info file before I posted the universe. I may just post it for grins.

I moved away from helmets because in order to get the "sliver" to show well the helmet has to be small in the 150x150 file. Just didn't look right.

I plan on running all the logos from 70 thru 23 at some point.

[james17]

I will update the names, listed by team name, once I verify the numbering sequence is.


Just had to add my thanks for everything you've done!!

[downpat75]

Is there anywhere that explains how to get fictional/generated players Universe IDs in bulk? For example, once new draft classes are added in, is there away to assign fictional pics? I'm thinking of generating a bunch of fake player images using AI tools but not sure how to use them in game other than maybe looking up every players universe ID one at a time.

Others will be able to give you the exact detail but as I understand it you could verify the start and ending ID numbers in a universe players file then just assign that series of numbers to your pics. From what I understand that would then align that saved file and should pull from it when you open that universe.

I would bet a nickel this should work.

Note: I don't gamble, but this is a logical bet.

[downpat75]

Right that makes sense, for a league started in 2023 I imagine I could create images for IDs after the end of the current 2023_rosters.csv.

That would work for randomly assigning fictional pics. Hopefully there will be some way to create and/or export draft classes. That would make matching images to positions for better matching.

Can the Conference Names be edited on this screen?
AFC North etc

I don't think so

It is in the league years or the league info files.

[james17]

Others will be able to give you the exact detail but as I understand it you could verify the start and ending ID numbers in a universe players file then just assign that series of numbers to your pics. From what I understand that would then align that saved file and should pull from it when you open that universe.


Funny I was just thinking about this...I assume that you have created roster pics for all active players for FOF8 in the past versions. How did you handle it when the new draft class was made? And, another assumption is that I guess if the players photos file wasn't updated for drafting, what did the program use for portraits in that case.


I am really, really new to customization here so accept my apologies if this is a dumb question.

FOF9 is the first version to have individual player portraits. In past games the player cards would just display the team logo graphic.

You could replace all the Flag images with pictures of players (fictional or otherwise), then they will be sorta random based on their location. You would definitely have duplicates however.

Looks great in the game, thanks for sharing.

As to the old high school scoreboard? I actually liked it in previous versions. Almost put me in the mood to play some Sam Spence tunes and think of the "frozen tundra" of Lambeau Field. :) The trouble in v9 IMHO is the size of the monitor and how large those "light bulb" numbers have to be.

In the grass buildup, why is a number 9 looking symbol at the 50-yard line in?

To bad the whole thing can't be stretched out

I suppose it could be done with a process if there was access to facegen or a clone of it. Might have to be done manually with such software providing the pictures and then the user copying them into the appropriate players' portraits files.

I just plugged it in for FOF9! Thought about doing the Solecismic logo and may later. I really wish the field was totally moddable. I would love to add team endzones and midfield logos. Unfortunately right now it's not. Maybe Jim will flex in the future and add it.

DDSPF has a really decent system using a number of faces and features that are randomly pulled in the game. It would be perfect here.

Bored and wanted to tweak the field file just a bit. I toyed with the endzones and ended up with this (below). Can't trim it in white becasue, for some reason, that bleeds over into the green space on either side of the field but shading the endzones is fine. Also alternated the field shading every 5 yards. I know, it's one of these changes that doesn't add anything to the game but hey, I'm old, it makes me happy.

So it's Chrsitmas eve and what does an old man do while watching Fargo and downloading mod files for Starfield...


... finishes a helmet mod that was started some time ago. I know, there are other helmet mods so why this one. For awhile I kept trying to come up with a way to add helmets, since most seem to prefer them over logos, but for the "full sized" versions the game created sliver files are just, well, terrible. So after some back and forth I came up with what I think is a reasonable solution with the constraints built into the games structure. So I offer up another alternate set > link in a zip file on the first post.

The base files are set up for a 32 NFL format with the color and black and white files. Included as well are a surprise, alternate helmet files for those that have them as well as a few I have done myself. You can plug these in by changing them in game. Make sure to check the "Do not modify original image" box.

What are they -

I don't think it is in FOF9, it was in FOF8. Also, you wouldn't norrmally get fired for 1 bad season but after a few.

My apologies folks, I tweaked the NFL 1970 universe and have updated the link. I found the Jets abbreviation weas NYS (not sure why) so I changed it to NYJ. In addition New England in 1970 was Boston so I changed that. As I did this I realized I overlooked changing the team colors to the 1970 theme and did so.

So if you already DL'd the file and want these changes please do so again.

The Solecismic logo and the game book screen scale the logos and make them blurry. I don't think you can do anything about it since it is coded in the game how they are being handled. I reported that a few weeks ago, though I have no idea if it has reached Jim and whether he is looking for a solution or not. Furthermore, the BMP format does not support transparency. If Jim could make the game work with PNG, that will save a lot of trouble.

These are great, thanks so much for doing things! I'm still trying to get things figured out. I'm trying to start in 1976, with a 28_6_16 setup. Looks great, but I want to make some changes, and I'm having trouble. I want to change the Arizona Cardinals to the St. Louis Cardinals. That seems like it should be simple -- I went into default_teams, took a row for St. Louis Cardinals from the 26_6_14 rows, pasted it in place of the 28_6_16 row for Arizona, changed the first couple columns to 28_6_16 and the teamID to 1. But how does the game account for some rows having two TEAMNAME fields? It looks like teams with two names in the city have an extra semicolon between them. You'd think that would throw off the CSV, and it seems to when I change it. I'm also trying to make the standings read as "N.Y. Jets" and "N.Y. Giants" instead of "New York J" and "New York G" but I get errors when I make these changes.

Never mind, I think I figured it out. When I opened the file in OpenOffice, it was counting spaces as delimiters. Opening it in notepad instead got it right, without having to worry about converting. I have St. Louis working properly instead of Arizona now. And in the standings it says N.Y. Jets and N.Y. Giants, but there are times when it calls them N.Y. Jets Jets and N.Y. Giants Giants. That looks pretty dumb, but I hate seeing "New York J" so much that I'm not sure.

Well this is weird. I just looked at it again and the division names are in the way they are supposed to be now. I thought they weren't because when you create a game, the screen where you choose your team was still calling it AC East. But then I started playing around with fonts, and now even that screen is named correctly, no matter what font I choose. :confused:

[Passacaglia]

But for the record, the smallest you can make the font is 10, and even then, it still makes it "AFC E" in the league overview.

[NawlinsFan]

So, I finally got off my old man ass and worked on finishing a project I began a long time ago. I delayed some as I wanted to see what Jim's next move could be and didn't want to get to involved and have to change things but being old, retired (twice), tired of the politcal idiocy displayed all over the place and the recurring frigging medicare advantage adds I jumped back in to numb my brain.

I am attaching a zip file with 140+ logos for each of the 32 NFL teams to cover them from 1960-2024. No helmets, just logos. I tried to be true to what they are/were and hope for anyone interested they add something to their game.

Example: The pic just shows the Rams history. the pic name is created to represent the team number as listed in game in a 32 team schedule, then the year ranges used. i.e., team26_60_71 is the logos the Rams used from 1960 thru 1971.

To use these as provided here you will need to go in game and change the team logos there. Maybe later I will do a subset that you can just plug in for each year but not right now.

Any issues let me know but remember, I do this for fun, am not a grpahic artist but did sleep in a Holiday Inn Express once.

https://i.imgur.com/1m5UsQ2.png

[NawlinsFan]

FYI - I have structured a 30 NFL team format using 1995 as the base. Plan to use these logos and start in 1960 with the 30_6_16 format. Then in 1970 will begin to use Nilidors historical player files and continue on.

As I do I may fool around with fake logos for those teams that didn't exist in the 60's and 70's just to add to the flavor.

[NawlinsFan]

Adding this to the first post. Why? Well, why not!

https://i.imgur.com/BUiPP3R.png

[Passacaglia]

Hey Nawlins, just a suggestion, take it however you like.

In the helmet logos you posted here, FOF 09 Graphics - Front Office Football Central (https://forums.operationsports.com/fofc/showthread.php?t=99002) I love the 1977 version because when I go to a team's schedule page, it looks really sleek:

https://i.imgur.com/KIukqak.png

For this most recent set, you pretty much just get a bunch of facemasks. I think the 1977 set looks better in this view because you put the team name on top, so the picture part is centered on the bottom 3/4 of the image, which puts the logo part of the helmet right where it needs to be for the part of the image pulled from this view to work.

Just an FYI, I'm not asking you to do anything for me because a) I'm starting a career in 1976 so I'm going to use these logos and not the 1960s logos, and b) I don't look at this view very often anyway. Just thought I'd let you know in case you feel like changing it at all.

Hey Nawlins, just a suggestion, take it however you like.

In the helmet logos you posted here, FOF 09 Graphics - Front Office Football Central (https://forums.operationsports.com/fofc/showthread.php?t=99002) I love the 1977 version because when I go to a team's schedule page, it looks really sleek:

Thanks! Will take a look at it in time. Working on an alternate universe league format for the "other" football game right now. I spend a lot of time trying to get the visuals down so that most of the pages look well. The file format makes its a bit of a challenge but doable.

Funny how this is, how some people (myself very much included) care about how a game looks. I mean, of course I value FOF for its realistic simulation, how it is laid out, and how it plays. But I want it to look good, too.

So my thanks to Passacaglia for pointing out that helmet set because it does indeed look "sleek" in that schedule array. But above all, thank you, Nawlins, for this work. You made the game even better for me.

One trick that I follow is to replace all the state and country flags with the Solecismic logo. Conveniently, there is a suitably sized file in the main folder named Solecismic150.bmp. So I copy that over all 153 flags, one by one. That's how much I care about this excellent game looking good.

Heh, this portion of the Argentinian flag always reminds me of CBS Sunday Morning. Well, anybody in my FOF universe from Argentina will play under the FOF flag instead! :)

It's a personal taste thing for me. I find that the game engine and resulting play and data are primary but the display also draws you in. Doesn't have to be over the top, just clean, representative and compliments the overall game.
