A set of logos for every team name available

It would be very nice if there were a set of pre-designed logos for every name defined in the default team nick names list (team_nick_names.txt).

I know that this would be a large undertaking. There are about 2000 names that would need logos.

But they could be built up gradually. A very simple style, similar to what the NFL Detroit Lions or MLB Houston Astros use, could make this undertaking more reasonable.

Perhaps an effort for the community to voluntarily submit their original designs could supplement that initial simplistic style. On the "Edit Team Colors, Logos and Uniforms" page, there could be an option to select from a list of the predefined specific logos for the nickname chosen.

When assigning random team nick names, one of the associated logos would be chosen by the game.

If a given team nickname had several pre-defined logos to select from, they could be presented in a scrollable list.

There would also be an option to select the automatic generic logos that currently exist in the game, either league-wide, or for only an individual team.

There are some members of the community who do wonderful art work and can create excellent logos. But I, like most of the community can not. I wouldn't consider creating a demand on their time for my solo league.

It would be really helpful if I had access to meaningful logos for team nick names in the list. That kind of touch would really give my fictional solo league, the polished look I'd like. As it is, every time I see the logos for the teams in my league, I realize this is obviously not a "real" baseball league for artificial looking logos that no professional organization would be satisfied with.

I know that there are some logos available, but for various reasons, I have found those limiting and difficult to use league wide (including all the minors).

If the game assigned decent looking default logos that matched team nicknames, it would be an excellent "finishing" touch.

I know others have made similar suggestions, but I re-iterated here because I didn't see such a request in this thread.

I have tried on numerous occasions to tweak team colors and select logos from fictional logos made available by the community. However, what has typically happened is that after I have spent hours or days getting the logos, team colors, jersey's and caps set up the way I like, I discovered a problem in the game setup. I needed to start the league over from scratch and lost all of that time I put into the logos. That is very frustrating.

If the game assigned pertinent logos automatically, I believe many users would be appreciative.
