OK, I've got this solo fictional league (started in the 30s, currently entering the 1940 season) and I need a few logos. Now, for the most part throughout this league I've done my best to mix and match already existing logos and uniforms and ballcaps and such so that I have teams that look pretty much exactly how I envisioned them. The problem is that some cities and logos just don't exist (at least, not in the way that I want them to). Most of the existing logos I have found are too modern or just dumb looking, and ditto with the jerseys. I mean, I like more traditional nicknames and logos (especially in a 1930s-40s league), but it seems like the ones out there that exist are just kind of lame. Another problem is, I'm on an (old) Mac, and I don't really have any sort of good editing software so that most of the time, even if I do find a good logo, the colors don't match what I want.

That said, I'm not trying to bitch - the cephasjames collection has some nice simple logos and jersey logos, and I've exploited some of the historical major and minor league logos for my own use.

The point here is that I need a bit of help with a just a few teams/ logos. Like I said, most of the teams are accounted for and I'm happy with but a few are logo-less:

-Fresno Growers (as in Grape Growers - purple and dark green)
-Anchorage North Stars (blue and gold - like the colors of the Alaska flag. Sadly, cephasjames has no Alaska cities in his collection. I'd like the cap to just be a simple gold star on a blue background. A similar jersey logo would be ideal as well.)
-Memphis Pharaohs (blue and gold - for some reason I couldn't find a tasteful "pharoh" logo anywhere - I was thinking of a pyramid or something.)
-Omaha Unions (red, white, and blue)

That's actually about it. I might expand soon, but other than that I have no needs. I'm just looking for something simple and not ornate, so thanks in advance.
