Overall, I don't think the color scheme is that bad. The Jabulani needs to go, but other than that, it's not awful. What could happen is that one of the balls could be changed (the one in ".com" while the other is turned into the center circle with "TigerDroppings" surrounded by the line markings. I'll mock that shite up.
Also,

So this isn't perfect, and it could definitely be revised a bit (like changing the color of the red "."). That being said, I think a theme with this look would better fit the board than the current one. It isn't committal to any team, event (except the ball which could be changed), or particular topic. It also fits the current sizing and color scheme so it could literally just be swapped quickly.
Some of you may be OCD about the dimensions of the pitch so I could change that as well. I just wanted to get something quick so that we could start moving towards something. This is just my take on a change.

Dude that looks great.

I like it. What about using a red and yellow card instead of the "."?

That's a great idea. I'm going to get on that now.

Also, since the popular ball changes every four years with the World Cup, should you go with a more timeless ball and just stick with a Brazuca? I don't mind either way.

I prefer the black and white balls on the far right, middle row, minus the small writing. It's just a good "generic" soccer ball.
Posted on 9/23/14 at 10:04 pm to Vicks Kennel Club
I completely agree. I wasn't sure which ball to use to I tried the Ordem and Brazuca. In the one I'm working on, I use the Telstar recommendation, but I'm looking for a source image with transparency around it without all of the Adidas branding. I don't think the ball being a giant Adidas logo is the best idea, but I do agree that that's the way to go. Worst case scenario, I'll manually strip the logo. It'll be small enough to where tiny defects won't be visible.

You are so damn talented. Chicken needs to realize that this website will be better off if he uses your talent.

Thanks a lot, man. When I was 7, my parents got divorced, and I got my first computer (IBM Aptiva represent!). I've been learning as much random shite as I could since from programming to fixing computers to learning how to use shite like Photoshop. I really just picked up Photoshop to put myself into historical photos around 12 years ago. That said, I got lucky and can apply all of these ridiculous skills to an awesome field like Software Engineering. If anyone ever wonders why I'm always up all night writing novels and shite here, it's because I work on my personal projects over night once or twice a week and love to procrastinate. Tonight's distraction is this and a FUT guide. 
As for them using my talents, I've been giving them shite here for years on everything from design to things like load times (those damn team icons). When I asked for a namechange, I offered free programming work, but I never got taken up on it. I'd love to help them with this place.

This is where it currently is. I'm all for opinions on where to go from here, but I personally like it.
Posted on 9/23/14 at 11:47 pm to Dijkstra
The red cards looks a bit orange to me, but that might be my old computer. Also, I wish the field was symmetrical, but I don't have a solution to that problem because I like that the field starts at the T.
Posted on 9/23/14 at 11:59 pm to SwaggerCopter
I agree. I found a vector for them that fit what I was looking for, and I didn't know what was off about them. I altered it a bit. I hope they're just not too intense to look at now.
As for the field, I went with it being off a bit because it fits the "O" for droppings well without framing the entire thing. I wanted it to frame "TigerDroppings" but not the entire branding logo. If it's all framed, it looks far cheesier.

How would it look if it was a smaller field that was proportional to an actual soccer field still centered around the O?
Posted on 9/24/14 at 12:14 am to SwaggerCopter
I'll toy with it to see after a FIFA match or two. I did it earlier, and I remember thinking it looked weird so I went the current look against my OCD side. I'll look at it again.

We could always just have them change the name of the website to something that would be more symmetrical.

I think that looks great - even little edits that are done will likely look great - the overall concept is sound.
