New Uni-Forms are being released

I made some videos showing how I tweak my invisibases... Notes: 1) You could substitute beans or rice for the feed corn in the mug. 2) Crimping and then trimming is all I do for speed bases. 3) The pictures at the end show my parallel smooth jaw Grobet pliers, jewelers pliers and flat front clippers.

Great ideas!

The helmet wordmark is part of the larger helmet sticker, so no need to worry.

What year were those?

Ha! I actually had a couple of design concept fields laying around. That one is plain white. You can draw on it with dryerase/whiteboard markers. It's cool to design a play or mark ball placement for passing. I also just grabbed random players and set them up rather than two scrimmage teams... sorry if that makes it confusing! -David

Here's a similar concept. Two against seven. In this concept the DL scrapes across the face of the G while letting the LT and C to go free. 1) The DL scrape redirects the G and opens the gap between C and G; 2) A backer swoops in to hit the gap and hits the QB; 3) The DL is a looper and is helped into the backfield by the G, hitting the RB (in this video the DL is tad late but you get the idea) You can also add another LB to fill. 4) You can add mirror this onto the other side as well and when its working it looks like a magic trick for the other coach. This concept can be helped even further by the tendency for most coaches to set their lineman to push either straight or to have the guard doubleteam with their OT on a DT 20150124_134346.mp4

I know Tudor has many of these in the works... the website pictures and newsletter has been teasing them. This picture shows at least 20 alternate, color rush or vintage uniforms.

To get even better results try using heated pliers. Some people use a candle or coffee cup warmer to heat pliers. I personally use a heating pad filled with rice. I pop it into the microwave for about a minute and then set my pliers on the pad. The heat helps to soften the plastic for easier squeezing but it also anneals the plastic and helps it to retain its shape and hold the tweak better. If a warmer is used I like to let the base set for just a second on the flat surface to even it all out. I can tweak an entire solitaire league in a few hours using this method. I have at least three pliers going at once.

You are THE BEST customizer I have ever seen

I'm losing my mind over these

Please, please, please let us see the rest of that Vikings team.....

AWESOME!!!

And my wife pointed out that I could clean the oven at the same time... (Sad Trombone Sound)

Super crisp!

What is Actual Player Weight?

I usually just use a strip of paper and mark it with a pencil. As for close calls, I usually think of it as a booth review and will decide with a coin.

Rick, This is so similar to a fantasy draft. Love it!

There is an Ohio based league that I used to play with. We would gather for weekend tournaments. I don't know of any Dayton based leagues, but I know that there are several of us around.

Got some games to report... My son consistently prevails. I think it's that I he might not be so impartial in letting the action play out. He changes and picks out his favorites the same way I did when I was a kid. He thinks about logos, colors, and which mascot would actually win in a fight. Somehow he believes that a Ram is all powerfull and would win against just about anything. Week 1 Rams 20 Titans 6 Seahawks 7 Bengals 8 Steelers 14 Ravens 17 Cowboys 2 Eagles 13 The games were a ton of fun and my son is really learning how to play. I can also see him learning some of the rules of real football along the way. Bonus!

Love your old school bengals...😍

Thanks Joe!

Whereabouts is the Ohio River Football League?

Could you flip the field over and take a picture? I would love to see it.
