2nd edition - Glorybe’s Off-season Fantasy Workshop

[Referee3083]

Team Name: Los Pollos Hedmanos
Fantasy Website: ESPN
Primary Colour: Surprise Me
Any Other info: I'm a huge fan of the TV show Breaking Bad and, in case you haven't seen the show, the name of the restaurant that plays a big role in the series is called Los Pollos Hermanos (losely translates into the Chicken Brothers). One day, trying to come up with a new team name based on some of the core guys on my team, swapping Hermanos for Hedmanos seemed like a no brainer.

Team Name: The Bedtime Players
Fantasy Website: Yahoo
Primary Colour: Surprise me
Any Other info: The Bedtime Players focuses on finding sleeper hits in the years before their careers are launched into super stardom.

[Two On One]

Team name: Green Bay Gulls
Fantasy Website: Yahoo!
Primary Colors: Orange, with white and black
I've cherry picked my logo in the past from versions of the San Diego Gulls... But it would be nice to have something original. I like the orange I've adopted in the past, but would be open for another color scheme. I would like to keep away from green and gold. I am a Packer fan, but green and gold for a fantasy hockey team from Green Bay, Wisconsin seems a little too cliche, no? I loved your work last summer, Glorybe, and hope you'll consider my squad for this summer's rad artwork! Thanks!

[Woolywolf]

Team Name: Extermin8hers (Ex8)
Fantasy Website: Fantrax
Primary Colour: Red, yellow (Calgary Flames) but any colors would be cool..
Any Other info: Exterminate the 'girls' in my league!

Thanks Glorybe, this is a very nice gesture. I have a couple guys in my league that STILL don't have logos, I'm gonna tell them about this if you don't mind

After looking at the calendar today, I just noticed I'm gone for the first week of July, soooo...

I will be cranking out one of these designs this weekend and will post before July 1st. Guess we can call the first one an Early Bird draw.

Thanks for all that have posted so far, looking at each team there is a wide variety of designs and styles that come to mind. Some look challenging, others on the border of disgusting, but all entertaining and doable.

Also a big thanks for all that have repped me, and to Mike for giving a blurb in his ramblings today!

Team Name: Roster Churn
Fantasy Website: Fantrax
Primary Colour: not tied to a colour scheme.
Any Other info: Roster Churn is a way of being. In this incredibly competitive 12-team league, my team has been involved in 53% of all trades in the last two years. Seriously -- more than one in two trades. I'd love to see this depicted graphically! Thanks for the consideration.

Team Name: Extra Tasty Crispy
Fantasy Website: Yahoo
Primary Colour: “Surprise Me”
Any Other info: had this team name after a summer where I spent travelling with my wife throughout Hawaii (Maui and Oahu). We both like our fried chicken, but my wife favours Church's over KFC, but when we're going around Hawaii and we only see KFC, she says she'll only got there if they have the "Extra Tasty Crispy" recipe.... none other. Thus began a tradition where, if we went into a KFC, we would ask if they had Extra Tasty Crispy recipe (though I think that specific name of the recipe stopped in the 1990s). And when that fall it came down to put down a name for a team to chase that elusive title... those three words kept popping into my head. It's a lot like a fantasy hockey championship: I can't get enough of it; it's elusive as hell, and everyone looks at you funny when you say you are serious about finding, achieving and tasting its glory.

Hi!

I really enjoyed last year trend and hope to get the nod this time

Team Name: Les Béquilles (its in french , it mean The Crutches)

Fantasy Website: CBS sports (I dont know about the dimension sorry)
Primary Colour: Surprise me!
Any Other info: I basically chose that team name cause I always tend to draft injury risk players and gamble on them to get the high risk high reward that comes with it. But usually, they end up being on injured reserve and costing my team! ... so there it is , Les Béquilles !

Team Name: Gulp
Fantasy Website: Yahoo
Primary Colour: “Surprise Me”
Any Other info: This name started as "Big Gulps, huh?" (a tribute to Dumb & Dumber) but eventually just got whittled down to Gulp for short. Warman, SK teacher draft

[gopack26]

Team Name: Traditional {Hockey} Golf Market or TGM for short
Fantasy Website: Fantrax
Primary Colour: Blue/Yellow, could add Green as well
Any Other info: Obviously being from North Carolina, and constantly being call a Non-Traditional Hockey market played into the name choice. More traditionally the area I live in is a golf market which also works out well since the local team is often playing golf when it matters. On our league website, we are able to strikethrough the "Hockey" in the team name but had to bracket it here. The logo I had created was a NC Beach scene with a sign saying "No Skating, Ice Unsafe"

Still loving mine and can't wait to see the new creations!

Team Name: Montreal Snow Storm
Fantasy Website: Fantrax
Primary Colour: Blue, White and Red, but if you want to surprise me and make it more "Snow Storm" I'm definitely open!
Any Other info: Until last week the team was named the Montreal Wolves, wich was an inside joke with my girlfriend, didn't thougt much about it. When I saw your thread, I decided to take the time to find a better name for my team, brainstormed with another gm for a couple days, and came up with this. The reason is I took over the team a year ago, and rebuilt it entirely, like trading away ALL the players and prospects. I'm really agressive when it comes to trading, and others in the league used to joke about the hurricane louba (my username), devastating the GWHL cities. there was even an hashtag: #loubawatch
I'm a die hard fan of fantasy hockey, and the more realistic it is the more I like it. I just don't have much skill when it comes to photoshop or any design stuff, but what you're doing is awesome, very kind of you, and I'd be so happy to be picked!

I can't wait to see this year's designs ... Last year was epic, and I can't even imagine how awesome this year is going to be.

Well the early bird pick is in. I use a random number generator in excel that has the list of all the entries so far and yesterday the first number was drawn for the workshop.

a little easy hint of the team it might be:



will post the designs later today, after a little quality time with my daughter
