The Retro Thread - links in OP

[blockerdave]

I don't know if anyone else is interested in retro stuff, 70's, 80's, 90s etc.

Very keen to share details of uploads of players, kits, bats, squads and logos etc. from these eras if anyone has done any, will be working on any etc. So this is not just a thread for my stuff, but a thread for anyone doing retro stuff to share their work if they wish.

There are some issues with respect to linking I'm trying to iron out, but when I do I will be sharing all the Rebel Tour teams. You can see screen video in The Rebel Tour Thread where I am detailing my games in playing out the tours.

Most of the logos in use there (well all apart from the retro addidas one) have been kindly done by @Llewelynf - I will share those and my teams when they are completed.

But to kick this thread off in a hopefully nice fashion, here's a sneak preview of my own work, on the WC1992 squads and kits - so far I have done England and South Africa so I can at least recreate the farcical semi final (Note, I've just collated players, not made them, they need a lot of tweaks, some fearsome.)

These will be shared shortly once i have sorted out links and made the player skill (and a few likeness) adjustments. I hope you like them.

@blockerdave thoughts on the old school NZ beige kit? Is there even an option for flannel hats?

I made a bunch of these in off my custom teams. The striped logo on the shoulder I did in 2 parts. I think mine are a little too big maybe after looking at yours and I didn't do the wc92 logo but if you download any of the following from the server they have a poor mans version of 92 kits.
Kalgoorlie >Lickar Moor > Islamabad> Suar> Kulapitiya> Prickly Pole>Tietiesbaai> Whakapapa> Insukamini.
Feel free to use them if it helps. Or you could just download it searching for logos?

Awesome work..
I love the retro stuff.
I've been toying with the idea of doing the teams from the '83-'84 and/or '84-'85 Australian summer
But absolutely love the idea of WC'92

I'd be happy to do some teams.
I'll have to dig through my cricket junk 'cos I'm sure I kept an official program of the '92 World Cup with all the teams and player pics and profiles. So if I can find it, it would certainly help me with doing some teams.

If you're trying a font, my I suggest Impact? It's a default font and although it's not perfect, it does go rather good.

Mate I've got 2 (Eng & SA) done, and probably already have most players for Australia and several Zimbabwe too from their ATB I did for DBC14. So any of the other 5 teams you want to take on, please do and I will be very grateful

A bit of both!

How's your selection status going? Getting close to higher honours? What difficulties are you on?

I've picked an English team so I probably won't be picked for the national team because the of bug. Only just been made captain of my club side. Playing on pro with medium/medium. Yourself?
