Raise Hell is actually a good slogan.

i could go with trooper's raise a little hell but my mood is feeling death or glory

We're gonna fight you, brother
We're gonna fight 'til you lose
We're gonna raise trouble
We're gonna raise hell
We're gonna fight you, brother
Raise hell




(it also contains one of the greatest lyrics every written about nuns and the church)

Another one of those lyrics.....very profound. Probably why Paul and John didn't want to deal with it.

We need a list of options first before we can make a poll

What do we have? Pepe, Haula/bartender theme, Dano, Gordon Ramsay maybe, a combination of some of those somehow lol? Also who can make them.

I was thinking of trying to make mine if no one else wants to but idk if I can help the whole board. Depends how difficult it is lol

Well we also need to decide if we want to do animated gifs with the playoff shield (which I don't think has been released yet?

I would say first first step is to get confirmation on who wants to make these?

I might be able to make my own as well with a bit of instruction if it's animated.

Could also do something like your current avatar with a Hat Hat, the NJ playoffs logo, and either a slogan and/or your favorite meme

Lol yeah like a buffet. Would the animated avatars just be gifs or is a different file format? Gifs aren't too bad if it's not too many frames.

I like the NJ playoff logo > slogan (Raise Hell) > avatar with hat hat/fav meme template.

Could also just have a default avatar for people that don't want to choose

RG would know best as he made the old batches of animated avatars.

I assume they are gifs and it's just a question of dimensions and file size

I made a few gifs for avys in the past but it was a long time ago. Might have been back in my mod days. It's been so damn long since I've even thought about a playoff avy...

Think it’s my favorite song of theirs, other than Complete Control maybe.

So maybe the standard template is either just your current with the hat hat or a gif of uour current with Hat Hat, the playoff shield, and "Raise Hell" and if you want to add a meme to it that's personal preference (whether it's Ramsey, Pepe, Dano, hell even old Cangi memes)?

photoshop labor camp somewhere in MN
The easiest way is generate a template with transparency then let others run with filling in the player photo. Border, logo etc

I made the animated gifs the hard way in photoshop making copies of layers and moving them around and turning the layers on/off each frame. There's much better ways to do that now I'm sure.

I'm thinking maybe just a transparency template with an outer frame and the playoff logo in various corners if folks want to just keep their current avy's but make a playoff version. If folks want to do a full custom theme that's fine but it gets confusing seeing a wall of the same looking avy's scrolling down the entire page. I associate posters with their avitar as much if not more than their actual name at this point. It's jarring when folks switch up all at once.

Real rough test #1 lol

So, note to self, add more frames or a much longer delay between frames. I also tried to add some sort of effect to the first frame so it wasn't just a hard cut, but that's probably unnecessary.

I did this before seeing your post RG aha, I did exactly that just made copies of layers and smushed things in. If there are like two standard parts then just one, or maaybe two, different images for everyone then it isn't too bad

Slower better, little effects kinda suck though. Back to the drawing board!
