Anyone have logos/graphics from 1983 ?

After reading some posts on here about some fiction leagues got me reminiscing about hanging out at Colburn Park in Newark, NY in 1983 thru 1986, when they had the Newark Orioles. I was gone in 87, the team's last year there. We had a ton of fun back then, especially with some of the opposing teams' pitchers... (I will always remember Batavia's Rick Sharp)

Anywho... I decided to create a start-up for 1983. Mainly, I started focusing on just the NY-PENN league.. but then escalated to the entire Major and minor leagues that existed in 1983... So far, only had to add in 1 team for a league with odd-numbered teams.. and I was able to add a team that would join that league with in 2 seasons anyway. Also i went ahead and changed the Gulf Coast League to how it is setup now for the same reason...

I'm also adding in the NCAA teams, from I believe 1993 instead of 1983 because I couldn't find a good list of teams from '83.

So.. my request/question is... Does anyone have graphics for making jerseys for that year? logos? If anyone has any programs or pictures from then that they could scan in and email me, too, that would be immensely appreciated... please? I'm going by what I have and what I can find.. and what I remember, using sportslogos.net for a lot of it, but even that site doesn't always go back to 1983.. So, Im using whatever i can for any year around 1983...

some might ask why 1983? Well, there are a few reasons...

1) That was the first year I really started going to games often..

2) Newark was an Orioles farm team and Rochester, their AAA team at that time is reasonably close... and Baltimore won the MLB championship with Cal Ripken Jr being the League MVP... I was already an Orioles fan before this too!

3)Anther NY-Penn league team, the Utica Blue Sox had a player from my home town, Bob Hendershot, his brother was a friend of one of my cousins... and he has a daughter the same age as my daughter. I would run into him at our girls' softball games a couple of years ago.. Utica was an independent team that Roger Kahn bought before the season to write a book about that season.. "Good Enough to Dream"... I've read it a couple of times, myself, and I am thinking about getting it again.
Utica ended up winning the NYPL Championship over the Newark Orioles that season, too

4) George Brett. Pine Tar. July 24th, 2003.

Again, anything at all would be appreciated.. I am looking for mainly minor league stuff, but anything of interest is great!

Thank you !!!

I got them all done.. I used what I could find.. some may be from a different year.. some may (probably) have colors that are off and some will still need some touching up, I'm sure...

Also, trying out another new logo template..
