Yankee themed labels for nexgens...

Alright everybody, I think I have finally made my decision for my chip upgrade... I have been playing with labelled dice chips for a while now and I want to make a slight upgrade to the nexgen series... I have decided on the following colors in the River Poker series... I just like the colors better in this series...

I have decided to go with denoms on the chips... $1 for the blue chip, $5 for the green chip, $10 for the red chip and $25 for the purple chip... I know, I know my denoms are a little strange, but hey they work great for my weekly T300 poker game...

Now I have a request... I would like to do a New York Yankees theme for my chips... Problem is that I am horrible with any of the software out there for making labels... So, I would like to ask if anybody on the forums would be willing to create some ideas for me... I know it's asking a lot, but I have been hanging around here and posting for a month or so now and you seem like a great group of guys and girls willing to help out a fellow chip junkie (although a rookie junkie)...

I was kind of thinking that I would like to do something with a watermark variation of the following logo on it... Maybe with the text "The Bronx Poker Room" or more preferably "The Bronx Casino" on the chip and denoms over the watermark that match the color of the chip...

Again I know this is asking a lot, but it seems as though there are some real creative people on here... Thanks in advance for any help that you would be willing to give me...

scott1453, I grew up in the Bronx and am a BIG Yankee fan. So, this is something I'm very interested in seeing.

Now, I don't quite understand the reasoning behind others buying other member's customs other than for collecting. BUT, if you were doing clays or Ceramics, I would definitly get a few off of you.

I'm sure some of the members here can help you out with the artwork.

Come on fellas and gals! Let's see the art!

Well, I am pretty strapped for budget right now and with three kids running around the house, my chip addiction sometimes kind of has to take a back seat... That is why I chose the slight upgrade to a nexgen as opposed to a clay or ceramic custom...

It is always nice to hear from a fellow Yankee fan and I have always wanted to do a Yankee based chip set...

Hey I TOTALLY understand that. I just upgraded from dice chips to a set of OTC Chipcos just last week. I only got a 300CT and tried to keep it as low as possible money wise. I woulld love some customs as I've mentioned in a lot of my posts.

I still like to see the design once you do get them.

Lumpy: BTW, that was funny. I kinda knew posts like that were coming after I read it.
