here a revision of my entry.... hope you like it. feedback please. http://img100.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cleatupheadercopytu8.jpg
so far i am just not feeling any of these as the right fit don't worry so much about throwing sports figures on the header - cool text for Cleat Up cleatup.com in the corner tag line - Sports, Babes, & More remember the color options pimpmygadget.com and perfectblogging.com
I like the font Jackie used in like the second entry - very collegiate/jersey looking lettering DC I like your second one better but you need to lose the cricket and go with american based sports - baseball, hockey, cheerleader all work and see about tweaking the font also add the tag line Sports, babes, & More and the url to the bottom corner A4 - not bad - looks to serious though -- this site will be more off the wall opinion, pictures, videos, etc...
Pklz I am American, I am from New York actually, but Austrailians and British people always tend to amaze me not sure why.
trace - nice work, but I think Jackieh is more on target I have been sent a pm from two other designers that they will submit shortly ... i will wait for that then end the contest Jackie can you add the url to the bottom right corner?
sorry for the delay in choosing a winner today i got stuck at an appointment this afternoon and just got back in front of my computer just now. I rcvd an entry via pm that I will be going with and I will see if he can post it here for people to see. Some excellent entries and I do appreciate all the hard work. I run contests often for new sites so please feel free to enter next time.
