Welcome everyone to the California Professional Soccer League or CALPROSOL!
I’ve been working on this project for over a year now, but I’m very slow and meticulous, so you may have already seen state-based leagues on the boards. Nevertheless, I’m excited to present these concepts to you and get some feedback.
This fictitious league features 40 of the premier clubs in California. Many soccer clubs existed in California in the late 19th and 20th centuries, but they mostly played independent exhibitions. In 1935, 10 of the top clubs organized to form “The California League” or “La Liga California”. Expansions began after World War II in 1948 as the state and national economies began to grow. Today, the 40 CALPROSOL teams make up one of the largest and most profitable soccer leagues in the world.
Below you will find some helpful information regarding the league history, season format, and aesthetic standards.
The existing season format was introduced in 1988 as a way to reward teams for more complete seasons as well as give every team a chance to win the California Cup.
Concepts are coming soon, just bear with me!
I have a lot planned for this project, but for now, you will just see club identities and kits from the 2015-16 season. Here are some of the other things I hope to complete eventually:
- Kits for future seasons
- Goalkeeper kits
- Simulated seasons on Football Manager or something similar
- Stadium renderings (perhaps SketchUp or Revit, but probably not)
- Training gear, fan gear (scarves, shirts, hats and the like)
- Historical kits
You are more than welcome to give C&C, but I can’t guarantee I'll use it. You understand, right?
Without further ado, let’s get started!
TL;DR – I’m going to make soccer concepts, I hope you like them.
