Anyone know of a sports theme that I can use? I'm creating a Sports Talk Message Board and would really like a sports theme.

I didn't really see any sports related themes on the theme site for 2.0 either, but there are a couple of options. There are some very talented themers here that could probably put together something very nice for you. You could put up a post in the help wanted section, and see what offers come in (although this option is most likely going to be a paid one) Here is the link- http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=50.0

Another option would be to pick a theme from the theme site that has colors you like, and then start adding mods that may help give it a more sports orientated look. A mod that could give each board it's own specific icon for example could be a nice touch ( a football icon, baseball, etc)

Here are some mods that will do that-

You could also put up a banner/logo that would give your forum a sports feel to it. Something like the image in your signature as your logo would be nice touch.

If you are comfortable with css at all, you could also change the background of your forum and add an image like say a football field, basketball court, or something you create yourself.

Hope this helps and good luck with your new forum.

Yup... What br360 said...

Take, for example, the studio003 theme by bloc...
I used it on two different sites, with two different sets of tweaks and they look moderately different.
http://los.turtleshellprod.com has only a few teaks to the layout... But it is a nice "space type" theme... Even though the original as not.
http://www.fx-sabers.com/forum has significantly more tweaks, Which make it clearly a light saber theme because of them...

Colors go a long way toward changing the feel as well...  For example, on the fx-sabers site, I added a color changer which changes the primary and accent colors...   That change alone can make a different feel, even within the same exact theme.
