Anyone doing Fantasy Prem this season? Not one for these geekazoid games but I'm all about that. And more to the point, how's the shirt designs going?

I would, but I am already doing so many other Fantasy games at the moment, plus I'll be doing a NFL over the same period.

What's with the player sponsor medals, how does the idea work?

On BigFooty? Club boards raise money and sponsor a player, contributors get the badge. I think you get perks like access to club events for player sponsors (usually corporate types).

Yeah, if you look in the back of club yearlies, there's the list and then a sponsor next to it. I dug a few Freo ones out then but I couldn't find it, but I think Pav was sponsored by Woodside or something, guys like Paul Duffield had restaurants and cafes down in the Cappuccino Strip and South Freo... it's probably an old fashioned way of raising revenue. I think a board on BF would gauge numbers and then just buy one. I think you get allocations to BnFs and shit like that so they probably just split them.

I got involved this year on the North Board. We have three players we sponsor (Majak Daw, Aaron Black and Sam Gibson). The minimum amount is $50, and you can donate what you want. For every member benefit there is a raffle, and for every $50 you contributed, you get a ticket for the raffle and the winner of the raffle wins a members benefit.

Imagine what this might have done for Footscray in the 80s or other teams in various eras . . .

Is that a video game texture? Those are the most difficult things to deal with man.

I just realised it's from a Greek PES forum. So yes, I guess it is. Probably customising the kits.
Here's the kit in 3D:

I remember trying to reskin some armor in Oblivion years ago and when I opened the texture it took at least like 20 minutes to figure out where everything was.

What program do you usually use to 'figure the texture out' with?

Can I have the download link. Its in the RCT Dylan so its ok.

I wouldn't bother figuring the texture out though Ando unless you are actually going to make textures for PES or whatever.

Nope, don't have PES. But I just wanted to know because it's so weird

The NRL ones can be even weirder sometimes.
I wish I could do the same in FIFA
