This is what I saved the file as on my computer:

1930’s “Tuckahoe Mohawks” Baseball Jersey

When I search for that, 3 items come up but I can't connect to the sites... My Malwarebytes Anti-Malware blocks them for some reason... But it appears this might have been on an auction site at one time and it was most likely a reproduction jersey... That's about all I can dig up on it...

Beautiful collection ... so, mate, after this Negro Carolina League - what is the next project ?

Baseball Association of America

?FloridaState Negro League
?Florida West Coast Negro League
?Negro American Association
?Negro Carolina League
?Negro Eastern League
?Negro Southern League
?South Texas Negro League
?Texas Negro League
?Texas-Oklahoma-Louisiana Negro League
?West Texas Colored League

Couldn't resist !!!

... I know you have done more than several logos from these leagues ...

txranger · 03-17-2013, 07:14 PM

How about maybe we work on one of these old leagues from 1886 and 1887... I think we could for the majority just use simple lettering for the logos since graphics were probably not that prevalent back then... I will use the KISS rule here, and keep it simple as possible... I have a format in mind that should look pretty good for this period in time... It comes from some circular logos that were posted on the OOTP forum at one time by ??? (unknown to me) and believe they were called 19th Century logos...

I work on a couple to see if y'all like them... If you do then we will finish both of these leagues...

National Colored Base Ball League 1887

Cities represented (with records)

and/or

Southern League Of Colored Base Ballists 1886

Teams

Fantastic Suggestion :

... I have seen several threads in here that would look perfect for scripting, in that time period, would be awesome ... I've only been using this thread, Retros of all the Black teams logos for ALL my Assns ... I just can't get enough of them ... many thanks, mate

Any ideas or suggestions please let me know...

Jabez54 · 03-17-2013, 09:32 PM

tx ...

While thinking of suggestions with the scripts ... I was cataloging the logos according to the Leagues Era ... I forgot to mentioned the Harrisburg Giants ...

txranger · 03-19-2013, 09:24 PM

Here are the first two from the Southern League of Colored Base Ballists 1886...

Thanks to micropterus58 for sharing the template...

I know Knuckler made some in this format some time ago for some of the older teams and possibly some other guys have too ( maybe micropterus58 did???)... I saved a few that were posted here in the forums, but I don't remember who did them...
Comments welcomed...

I really like that style of logo, TX.

Nice, simple, and clean!

Jabez54 · 03-19-2013, 10:45 PM

Classic !! ... love the peaches!!!

txranger · 03-20-2013, 09:16 AM

These should complete the Negro Carolina League...

Richmond Giants

txranger · 03-20-2013, 11:31 AM

Trying to make these look like late 1800's to early 1900's era as possible... Not that simple working with the shading layers around the collar... So most will have a standup collar like these do... I also went with an older lower-crown style skull cap layer using one of the older templates... This takes an additional step of outlining the cap so that the background will not show through the seams... They will all be very similar in color, textures and overall design... It is my thought that these guys would have played in very basic uniforms... So let me know your thoughts on these as we progress through the teams...

As a true self-proclaimed prized pupil of Old School, I'm thrilled to see a couple in this style. I like that second Charleston Fultons uniform in particular, the one with the suspenders. That feels... all kinds of classic to me.

Very nice.

Jabez54 · 03-20-2013, 05:06 PM

Holy Smoly ... I LOVE IT!!! ... the suspenders definitely make the style, the logo and the Unis - simply awesome ... pre-1900's of these special leagues will definitely make the Game more special ... just thank you, mate ... brilliant ...

txranger · 03-20-2013, 09:45 PM

I am going back to the regular OOTP13 cap template... It is just to time consuming to use the old one and it just doesn't look just right in the game... It will take a little longer to turn these out for it is taking some extra work around the collar area to make them look decent... Hope y'all like the results...
