I have some free time at work, working on this now. So should we go with the football-focussed one or an assortment? Either is fine. If we're doing football though, need some names to include.

I'll post a preview before uploading it in case people want the design changed.

NBA media day and preseason is coming up soon. Once it does, we should have a larger selection of Bron and other players in their 2018-19 jerseys to select from. That’s the main reason I’ve held off on creating one so far. An NFL banner would be nice in the meantime.

Sounds good. Here's what I have so far:

I can probably add 2-3 players, any requests? Would be good to cover all the major fanbases.

I think we need Giants, Redskins, Titans, Bears? I could probably remove Julio Jones since I don't think we have any Falcons fans.

Believe you can move AB too since I don't think we have any Steelers fans.

I hate to criticize without providing an example of my own but... that's pretty bad. The text and player outlines are awful.
You never liked me, probably don't like me still, but a ***** liking me aint never paid my bills

Vikings.

Obviously. One of the best teams... and with members who follow them.

Yeah I figured it's not very good. I'm trying to get rid of the outlines but I'm just making it worse. I think I'll stop here since the outlines are really leaking into the players now. If someone else wants to edit it or start from scratch either way is fine, here's a link to what should be an editable PDF with layers:

No don't stop because of me. I shouldn't have even said anything if I wasn't going to submit my own.

Well maybe I’ll work on it tomorrow, I’m leaving work in 15 minutes anyway to do some elections stuff. I was trying to do something with the text to make it look metallic, there are probably better ways than gradients. Might be able to have it ready by Sunday.

Should we make the banner taller? Wider is a problem if we want to use the same theme for mobile and computers but we can make it as tall as we want really. Of course the taller it is, the more of an inconvenience it is to scroll down (exacerbated if there are a lot of stickies).

I'm like Russ by himself on the right. Keep him there.
