Thanks, Jabez. Your encouragement in this thread and forum for everyone is much appreciated.

As much of a jerk as this is going to make me feel, I do have a question and a request if it's possible?

1) I love the "cartoonish" style you went with, it reminds me of the Oriole's cartoony bird. How feasible would it be to have a more "true-to-life" counterpart, similar to how Baltimore has a realistic looking Oriole logo and a cartoon-type one? (Also, I'd love to be able to get these in a larger size to use the bird himself as a logo on some things I'm hoping to do for my franchise reports.)

2) Because I'm hopeless with the sort of things you're obviously awesome with, I don't know how difficult this would be and if it's too much of a hassle, he really is fantastic as he is. But would it be possible to have a version without his little hair-do and/or add maybe a few of the little darker markings on his chest that you see in brown thrashers? I'd post a photo here but I don't want to clutter the thread.

Also if anyone would be so kind as to direct me to who I'd need to look to for possibly getting some uniforms made to go along with these, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks again, knuckler. I'm ten times as excited about doing this concept I have in my head after seeing the logo you put to it. Too radical.
Here is a less cartoon version, complete with chest markings:





Tex will get to the uniforms for you when he gets a chance. I reworked the pompadour on the bird, but I'm not sure I can add markings to the cartoon bird that look right. II will try to post later on today with some revisions. If you need any other changes, please let me know and I will work on it as soon as possible.
