Retro Style Logos and Uniforms

[spelvin56]

Txranger -

I am reposting my request to you - I can't tell you how appreciative I am that you can help! So, just to reiterate, I've been trying to put together a solo fictional project, based on a 19th century idea.

The earliest amateur teams oftentimes came together around occupations. I am going to put together a small six-team league sent in the 19th century based on this concept. The teams would play on the weekends during the summer, no financials or trading, small rosters, and exceedingly slow aging (I want guys to stick on their teams for a very long time.)

I would like to have teams called the Alerts (firefighters), Quick Steps or Vigils (police), Thesps (actors), Scribes (writers), the Solicitors or the Arbiters, undecided (both lawyers), Sawbones (doctors). Perhaps I might sub one of those ideas out for the Ploughmen (farmers). Do you think some city names would work better for your design?

Thank you for the time and consideration!

Ask questions you must... Right click on the logo here in the forum you want to download, and select save image as, then select where you want to save it on your computer, then click save... It should save it as a png file and you can then load it from the game...

If you don't want to use city names I can substitute something like Baseball Club for where the city name would normally go... Or you could just put the team name and the logo like in the Waggoner Greasing Palaces logo... See attached logos below as samples...
Do you want to use some of the unis I made for the 1800's Negro leagues??? If so I can re-name them and make new logos to go with them for your teams... I think I have a pretty good selection if you only need six teams... Let me know...

I think the best way to go would be with the idea of "team name baseball club" and the logo.

You have a great selection and I found a bunch that would really work nicely.
This is how it will match up:
Alert Base Ball Club = Washington Capital Citys (firemen)
Thespians Base Ball Club = New Orleans Crescents (actors)
Scribes Base Ball Fraternity = Cincinnati (writers)
Ploughmen Base Ball Society = Louisville Tall Citys (farmers)
Quick Step Base Ball Union = Philadelphia Pythians (police)
Solicitors Base Ball Club = Georgia Champions (lawyers)

One final question, and please forgive my ignorance - can I simply copy the uniform images as is from photobucket and change the names or do they need to be downloaded from somewhere particular?

Thanks!

Yes you can download them from Photobucket or you can get them here in the forum by right clicking on the item you want, click save image as, select where you want to save it, then re-name the file, then click save and your done...

Let me know how these work for you...

Most excellent! There was a Sounds jersey floating around, but the colors were wrong. Yours is perfect, as is the Clippers.

Since you have other work to do, I'll wait until Sunday to give you the next project, the 80's Calgary Cannons. Thanks again!

Go ahead and post what you have in the way of BB cards or photos and I'll start to work on them...

[ThatSeventiesGuy]

Okay, thanks! I think I'll go ahead and post the ones I have left now, from 1970-onward. Calgary is the only one I'll need right away, so please feel free to take your time on the rest. I'm thinking of putting all the 1970-1990 AAA jerseys in a file eventually. You'll get the lion's share of the credit, obviously. You should get a medal for conduct above and beyond the call of duty, too!

Calgary Cannons:

Here's the others:

Sacramento Solons (disturbing shorts not included):

San Jose Missions (no cap needed, looks like it's just the Mariners cap):

Number 5 Type Collection: 1978 San Jose Missions Baseball #5, Ed Crosby

Ogden A's:

1980 Ogden A's TCMA Baseball Cards - COMC

Spokane Indians:

8 Steve Ruling 1977 Spokane Indians Coca Cola Minor League | eBay

That's it for the AAA teams, all PCL ones. There's a few others, but I think they're within my own capabilities (I hope)

Shorts in Baseball ?? ... this isn't Hawaii ... LMAO ...

[ThatSeventiesGuy]

I guess they figured if the White Sox could wear 'em in Chicago, it would at least make more sense to wear 'em in California.

[txranger]

I found a logo for the Clippers and reworked the uni with slightly darker colors and the logo on the jersey...

[Jabez54]

NICE work, there mate !!!

I bet no one stole any bases that day ... sheesh, can't imagined that

Thanks, Pain ... as always ... the pics speak more than a thousand words ...

They only wore then for one game. The 2nd game of a Doubleheader and yes no one stole a base.
3rd favorite Sox uniform of all time despite the fact I was 3 or 4.

Matched the font as best I could... If you think the jersey color needs to be lighter let me know...

[txranger]

I made two caps, one from 79, one from 80... I went with the colors as given by this website (Team Colors - PCL) though the ones in the photos you posted look darker... If you want them changed let me know...
