    Planet Team Colors

    in Teams and Figures

    Posted

    Yes, I remember Glenn's Unreal League. Unfortunately, I can no longer find any information on the internet about his league. One of his teams I believe was the "Swamp Moose" and his Munich Moon Sharks was chosen by Miggle as on of their fantasy teams.

    I think it’s a great idea Paul. Being a fantasy football league fan and also having a great interest in astronomy, this would be my choice for colors.  

    Mercury - The obvious choice is silver (like the element mercury), with perhaps a black trim similar to the Raiders. Mercury has no atmosphere and from what I’ve seen, not much color other than silver/gray and black. For the helmet I would use some wings on the side ala the god Mercury.

     

    Venus - Venus is an orangey/tan color, so I would go with that. The jersey would be a creamy orange, like a creamsicle, with a light yellowish/tan pants and white trims for the home team. For away,  switch the jersey and pants colors. On the helmet use a volcano.

     

    Mars - They call Mars the red planet. From my telescope, Mars was red, but it was a dull red. It also has a thin, light blue atmosphere. I would go with a rusty red jersey and a light blue pants (sky blue like the Oilers) for the home and white jersey with rusty red pants.  I did a Martians team and I used a flying saucer on the helmet. Maybe use a War of the Worlds tripod machine instead?

     

    Jupiter - If you ever looked through a scope at Jupiter, it is a white and blue planet with light brown stripes. So my choice would be a sapphire blue jersey with white pants and brown stripes with a dingy white helmet with a giant dark red spot on it. Switch the pants and jersey colors for away uniforms. 

     

    Saturn - Saturn is a really dark yellow (sulfur) planet.  The rings are brown and black. Maybe a dark brown jersey with sulfur pants for home, then sulfur jersey with black pants for away. For the helmet, make it sulfur yellow and use some milliput to make a ring around it painting it brown with black stripe in the middle to make it look looked a separation of the ring. But the ring has to be slanted. I remember being shocked how slanted Saturn was the first time I looked at it through a scope. Maybe 40 degrees or so. 

     

    Uranus - This is a pretty planet, kind of a light blue/green. So go with teal jersey with a light green (minty green) pants for home, a very light, light green jersey with teal pants for away. You could go with the obvious puckered hole on the side of the helmet  😁, or maybe a large U with ranus in smaller print trailing off.

     

    Neptune - The God of the oceans planet is a blue and green giant.  Maybe an ocean green jersey with blue pants for home and white jersey with blue pants for away.  Ocean green helmet with a Trident on the side

     

    Pluto - You could play it safe and go with a planet matching gray-blue-yellow-brown scheme, or go a different direction with a solid yellow/orange jersey with yellow pants with black trim for home and a white jersey with yellow/orange pants and black trim away uniforms with a white helmet and the figure of Disney’s Pluto the dog on the side.

     

    Just my 2 cents.......

    From the master of fantasy teams!!!

    Cities or Planets?

    Personally I like the City/State/Country.  GO Knoxville Pioneers!!! With a little research found out there was an actual Knoxville Pioneers Minor League Baseball team in the early 1920's. I am going to do a Knoxville Bears team for a solitaire league that actually played minor league football in the 1960's.
