World Baseball Quick-Start

[CM_Balkoth]

Over the last few years, I've toyed with the idea of creating fictional leagues to add to the base game to replace the missing leagues. This year, I finally decided to pull the trigger. In cooperation with tehsuigi and ZigglarsTusk, I'll be creating a quick-start and templates for different fictional international leagues. So far, there will bed 11 leagues including tehsuigi's JPBO. It will also include up to date jersey sets for all the MLB and MILB teams thanks to ZigglarsTusk. A vast majority of the logos for the teams will be directly from or modified from Cephasjames's 5000+ logos. I don't really have a time frame for the release, but I'll be updating the MLB and MILB jersey sets as they come out. I can add more leagues upon request or put the templates together for more leagues. Feel free to post expansion teams or jersey changes as you make them.

*Edit: I've decided to scratch the fictional Mexican League and use the LMB instead. All logos and uniforms provided by Isedelyod, Trek2300, and sdcrazyman.








Expected Leagues:
Australia and New Zealand
China
Taiwan
Cuba
Czechia
Germany
Japan: JPBO
Mexico
Poland
Switzerland
Italy





I'll update this post with downloads as I complete leagues.

If you're using the logos from the logo pack, I'll lurk in here and do a bespoke one or two

I'm honestly excited about the Australian teams. I'll probably modify them again, but I got to include logos from two of my favorite Australian bands, so xD

That'd be awesome, honestly. Love your logo work

Absolutely! I'm shooting for some point in April or early May for a full release with little updates here and there for jersey updates Etc. as the season progresses.

Small update. Got the Australia/New Zealand teams finished and the league set up in game. Introducing: The Anzac Baseball League. An 8 team league that plays 40 games from November on. I was able to add some of the real life players signed for 2025, but it looks like players and coaches can sign with the ABL during the MLB off season, so I only added players and coaches that were in free agency in game or retired.

I was going to try and stay true to life with these leagues, but I went a little off the rails with this one. Bonus points if you can guess which two bands I took inspiration from while making these

Not my best logo work, but I liked the idea. Pulled the name for the league from the name given to Australian and New Zealand forces in WWI, hence the poppy with the baseball. Anyways. Here's the first four teams, I'll make a second post for the last 4.




Adelaide Stingrays





Brisbane Riptide






Christchurch Surf






Hobart Devils

Anzac Baseball League continued:

Newcastle Mariners






Sydney Thunder






Warrnambool Aviators






Wellington Athletics

Was Sydney Thunder an AC/DC reference? I think the Hobart Devils are my favourite overall look.

Yeah, and the Aviators are Airbourne inspired. Had to do it xD


And I think Hobart was my favorite to make. I may mess around with the jerseys a little more before I'm completely finished, but I'm pretty happy with them for the most part.

Another quick update. League logos for two more of the leagues.

Hit a bit of a creative wall a few weeks ago. Gonna try and finish up over the next week or so. So far I have completed Australia and New Zealand, China, Taiwan, Mexico and Cuba. Czechia, Germany, and Poland I just have to complete the last of the jerseys.

I still have to get the updated MLB and MILB jerseys into the game and get Italy started along with Switzerland. I'm probably going to release the quick-start without Italy and Switzerland and try to finish it up for next years iteration as going off of what I could find, it looks like Italy is 42 teams in a relegation league...And Switzerland I'm still looking for information on.
