Anyone put together uniforms for this league they would share? Started in 2026?

Khephren · 04-21-2026, 03:12 PM

I really want to do Changsha...cool logo...but no uniform announced yet. Start in July.

Xiamen and Fuzhou sporting a single white jersey.

Khephren · 04-21-2026, 03:32 PM

Shanghai and the Blue Sox

I'll be interested to see how this goes. China already has a state run league that is growing. A lot of the sponsors for this new league seem to be Taiwanese, which is odd. They're bringing in chearleaders in the Taiwan/ South Korea model. Maybe the two leagues will start having a championship series.

If you check out the videos they post to YouTube you can see the away jerseys too.

I'm working on it...a couple of teams switched uniforms between spring and summer

Khephren · 04-24-2026, 07:12 PM

Bilibili has most of the games. Watching a lot of the games, I can say the play is pretty atrocious. Nowhere near the skill level of the other Chinese league....it feels developmental.

Oh interesting on the level of play. It was described on wikipedia as kind of being a sister league.

I kind of wish OOTP could be evolutionary as far as countries getting better with time. If the leagues in those country expands and more players start playing it would be cool to see the level of player being generated get better.

Khephren · 04-24-2026, 09:25 PM

The other league is all Chinese players...or at least it looks like it. This new league resembles Baseball United...spotting Dominicans, Australians, Venezuelans, and a heck of a lot of Taiwanese players. I'm sure it will get better with time.

You can do that in commissioner mode if you want, just increase the country's ability every couple years

Really interesting reading about this league. The teams were all placed near the strait of Taiwan for a reason. The official narrative is to foster cross strait baseball cooperation. But the underlying truth seems to be they are trying to lure all the big name Taiwanese players to China and erode Taiwans national sport. It didn't happen this year, the only players lured were subpar or stars past their prime. They had an initial roster requirement that most all the players of each team were to be from Taiwan,Hong Kong and Macau. They had to loosen it to 10 per team because they couldn't fill the rosters. Maybe this is why the talent is negligible. The Taiwan sponsors for all the teams were chosen because they aren't terribly patriotic...they'll play both sides. There are already calls in Taiwan to boycott these companies. If you look up the original logo for Shanghai, it is almost a dead ringer for the Brothers team.
