Athletics and Reds added.

Both of these teams bring a chalenge for a new logo.

In the case of the A's, returning to the use of the elephant was an obvious choice. McGraw's opinion of the A's as "White Elephants" is classic, and the fact they took on that image as a logo in 1902 and then won the pennant is enough reason to re-establish the mascot.

The "Red Stockings" is a tough one considering we have two other MLB teams with a "stocking" motifs as well, one of them ALSO red. I always liked the Reds "baseball face", so here I modernized the old logo a bit in my new design.
