Yes! Give the merch to kids at local schools and send them each home with a letter to their parents on how to go online and get the free tickets for game 1 coming up here soon! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoZips86 Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 I checked the online store on GoZips.com just now and they have some more options now, although not a bunch, but more than before. Just an FYI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love making sports themed cars in Forza on Xbox. In the past it's been practically impossible to recreate the Zips vinyls because the logo was so complicated and everything needs to be created using groups of shapes merged together. The new logo should be a lot easier to bring into the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new logo should be a lot easier to bring into the game. iRacing has 3rd party website for paint scheme design that makes it easier BUT it still is tedious. I had to cut out each letter in the Akron Zips to be able to place a transparent logo where I wanted it. The Akron Zips brand guide said to use "rubik" font but even with that, I couldn't get an exact match. The sim racing paint schemes have got so advanced that Kaulig Racing and many other teams are using a young guy to design their schemes that got his start just sim designing named Noah Sweet.

Dirt late models, pavement lates, We used “NASCAR Legends” as street stocks. We also ran old school offline (against the AI) NASCAR Cup. iRenting I mean iRacing had all the servers shut down and I got out. I still race against the AI every week. We miss the good old days, never a dull moment in the chat room between races, haven’t laughed like that since.

People vastly undervalue how important locker rooms are nowadays. So many are over the top with colored lights, TVs in every locker, lounges, uniform displays, etc. But that's exactly something that shows recruits that a program is legit and willing to go above and beyond to create a cool experience for it's players. Having a state of the art lockerroom that overlooks the stadium would be awesome. Edited August 25, 2022 by akzipper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MangoZip Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Exactly, it's very important and very needed. Akron has a great stadium and great indoor but the locker room and weight room are in desperate need of an overhaul. A facility in the end zone similar to Miami would be huge for the program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's interesting is how they made it look like some Ikea lockers are placed right in the middle of an empty Walmart. I actually think that flooring is the same thing my middle school cafeteria had. Can't help but be impressed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
