I like 1, 2. 4 and 10. The clouds don't seem to work with the others. 4 would be cool if you used the dirt/grass combo from 10 rather than brick, and lightened the stadium a little.

I personally prefer how 10 looks, it has the right proportions imo. I think 12 will look weird with certain uniform's color schemes, and there's something off with 6 as well, but I just can't figure out what exactly. The rest are good. My clear favorites are 4 and 10 though. Updated Tuesday, January 24 2017 @ 4:31:55 am PST

The green color for grass works nicely. I think several variations on this theme would look good. The current old white background would be my second choice.

If the answer is yes to any of those, I'd much prefer something more substantive being worked on instead. Graphics are great, but don't really impact the game all that much. Maybe you could give us a state of the game announcement with what you're working on for 2017 to give us a better idea of what players might prefer to see added?

It hard to process an image enough to ever get it to the style of a cartoon. Really only the first two images have complimentary styles with the Caseys.
