suggestions for a team please....

[Yeti_2009]

I am planning on starting a new dynasty with a 1, 2 or even possibly a 3 star program and building them up. I do not want to use a team that is currently in the top 25 or around the top 25 but I also want a team with cool uniforms.

Playbook I am not concerned about because I will use pro style and mold the team to that.

Basically, all I am looking for is a team with cool uni's (no gold helmets) that is a lower caliber team.

I have already tried UAB and Tulsa and I just cant stick with one team, so I want someone else to decide...

Click the link in my sig to check out my Teambuilder conference. I like the uniforms a lot. I'm currently playing with Tampa.


Also, if you do play with these teams, please let me know any comments, suggestions, etc. for the uniforms, because I've been making tweaks as the season goes for little things I like or don't like.


As far as uniforms go, personally I really like West Florida and Mississippi Gulf Coast myself.

sounds like cal.. I think they're 3 stars. plus they run the pro style offense already.

hey thanks for the suggestions. I wont be starting a new dynasty till later tonight so I will check back for anymore suggestions.

The teambuilder ones look good....just curious, what made you pick East Texas for that color?

washington state? (i don't know how you feel about their uniforms though)
duke? (some of the acc teams seem to have cool uni's at least to me)

Using Western Kentucky and awful in the same sentence is redundant.

Well, East Texas was the last team that I created. Originally, I had 9 Gulf Coast teams and had put them in for the Sun Belt, but wanted to make it 12 and replace C-USA (for the championship game), so I added West Florida, Mississippi Gulf Coast, and East Texas.

I was running into a problem of too many repeated colors.
Four teams use some amount red.
Six teams use some amount of some shade of blue (though two, Galv&LGCU, use a very, very light shade)
Three teams use some shade of green.
Two teams use orange.
A lot of the teams use some black, including AGCU which uses it as primary.


Purple simply seemed to be the best unused color available. If you have a better idea for a color, I can try that, but I don't want to use any of the currently used colors really.


The other thing about my teambuilder conference, if you do load them all into a conference, the worst team is UNO at 73 overall, and the best team is Tampa at 83 overall. and most of the teams are between 76 and 80. The conference is packed closely enough together for it to remain competitive (if you choose to use all the teams).

Also, when decided the roster templates to use, I was trying to use a good mix of offensive styles, so you have...

Tampa uses UCF's roster & playbook (Pro-Style)
East Texas uses Houston's roster & playbook (Air Raid)
Texas Gulf Coast uses SMU's roster & playbook (Run & Gun)
Florida Gulf Coast uses Duke's roster & playbook (Multiple)
New Orleans uses Memphis's roster & playbook (One Back)
Alabama Gulf Coast uses Troy's roster & playbook (Air Raid)
The other six teams use some variant of the spread.

Two teams are 1-star, two teams are 3-star prestige, the other 8 teams are all 2-star prestige.
