<p align="center">I posted information on this league on another forum and figured I should share here as well with the updates! This is an entirely customized league that I stopped working with on FM07 to finish on FM08 with all the details I need already written out. My own clubs, my own kits, etc. Some kits are a bit too dark, but I've saved their formats, so I can just adjust the colors later. :thumbsup: I thought I would share the kits for all of the clubs, some bit of information and get some opinions if possible. I would appreciate the feedback. A brief explaination of the system is that it contains 18 clubs in the first division and 20 in the second. The first division is called Illinois League 1 and is sponsored by <font color="#333333">Goose Island</font>; a beer company of Chicago. It is a semi-pro league and each club is from another small city or town from the state of Illinois in the United States. Each club has custom players and staff, but are not very big. Even with on and off work over many months there was no way I could put together a large amount of created people on each club! :mfr_closed2: This website <font color="#333333">here</font> helped me find names to use for created people. Each club also has a unique story to their colors and other things that may be funny and/or interesting. For instance I chose the black and white stripes for Joliet because it is the place where our famous prison is located that is used for the show Prison Break. Some clubs are also homages to one or several real clubs. I've recently finished the second division and the <font color="#333333">State Cup</font>, which acts like a National football cup in Europe. Here are the clubs below!</p> <div align="center"> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%">League 1</span> Aurora SC Short Name: Aurora Nickname: The Red Army Location: Aurora, Illinois
