So Jake88 (Jake88 Concepts and co-admin of Hockey Concept Ideas) asked me to do a request for yakball uniforms regarding Skopje, Republic of Macedonia based on my HCIHL team. Anyway, I decided more in favor of a national team rather than a particular city in Macedonia, much less the Balkan Region. The alternates below are intended to be what's known as a faux-back, that is a uniform intended to be retro for a team that wasn't around long enough to have a retro look (the MLB Tampa Bay Rays are infamous for this).
Let's think rationally for a bit. Gradients are typical 1990s (at least in hockey) and Greece doesn't like Macedonia using the Star of Alexander the Great (aka the Star of Vergina). The home and road were kind of based off Poland's soccer uniforms introduced last year (who by the way lost to the Ukraine today with one last hope to qualify for the World Cup Tuesday against England). It's tough to find a good font to use as there are so few fonts in Macedonian Cyrillic that are available for me at the moment. You'll notice that the lion is also a national symbol and replaces Alexander's Star.
