[edit] Previous and next season format

The time line needs to be changed. If the team moved from one location to another location between seasons this template will not recognize it. --Pinkkeith 20:03, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

How do we fix this?++aviper2k7++ 06:16, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

It will have to be completely remade, I think. It also won't recognize when a team did not play for a season, such as the Cleveland Browns. --Pinkkeith 15:05, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

I added the format of previous and next season out of Template:Infobox NFL season2. --Louis Alberto Guel 18:00, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GM

Again, I think this might be making too much of a jump. Some teams have GMs, some teams don't. Some have head coaches with some personnel say, some teams don't. Some teams have executives overseeing a personnel department, others don't. But for teams who don't have a GM (and all teams' GMs aren't alike in their responsibilities), putting a name in that field, "de facto" or not, is simply incorrect.

I made the field optional, so no harm done.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 03:59, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Team colors

I noticed that the team colors are being set automatically dependent on the name of the team being used in the infobox. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in changing it so that you could manually change the colors for past seasons when they didn't use the current team color. --Pinkkeith (talk) 18:39, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

:The infobox is for current players only, so this is not an issue. The colors should always reflect the team currently employing the player.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 18:41, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

My bad, didn't even realize what article this was, haha.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 18:47, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

This still needs to be fixed. I would if I knew how to do it. --Pinkkeith (talk) 19:10, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
