The Decatur Commodores were a professional minor league baseball team based in Decatur, Illinois that played for 64 seasons. The Commodores are the primary ancestor of today's Kane County Cougars. They played, with sporadic interruptions, from 1900 to 1974 in a variety of minor leagues, but spent the majority of their existence in the Illinois–Indiana–Iowa League (the "Three-I" League), later joining the Mississippi–Ohio Valley League (1952 to 1955) and the Midwest League (1956 to 1974). While they spent most of their years as an independent without formal major league baseball team affiliation, their primary affiliations were with the St. Louis Cardinals and later the San Francisco Giants, with isolated affiliations with the Detroit Tigers, Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies.

Thanks. Know I'll sound smart when i drop on trivia on people when I go to the KC Cougars on the 21st.

txranger - Thanks again for the awesome work on logo and uniforms over the years. I am starting an extensive "what if?" fictional replay starting in 1871 and letting the franchises progress organically...with house rules governing them growing, relocating or disbanding based on their fan bases and financials. There are a few team's graphics that I have not been able to locate through searching this and other threads, as well as Photobucket. I am hoping you have time to do period uniforms and logos for these in the "distressed square" logo style that you've made so popular:

Middletown Mansfields (1872)
Elizabeth Resolutes (1873)
Keokuk Westerns (1875)
New Haven Elm Citys (1875)
Syracuse Stars (1879)
Detroit Wolverines (1881)

Thank you

Tex, could you create a logo, hat and 2 jerseys H/A for the Chicago Southpaws?
NBC Sports Chicago posted a poll on Twitter ogf who are the best left handed players from Chicago and i made a team based on that and i want to see how they do and post the results on Twitter.I just dont have or cant find a jersey to go with it. Colors of the Sox or Cubs

Ft. Wayne Zollner Pistons

The logo artwork is from an Ebbets shirt and was designed by Cieradkowski and is not my creation... They were a basketball team but they were also a baseball team back in the 1950's... Edited the basketball logo to fit a baseball team... Also made a Detroit Pistons version and you can find it in my Google Drive...

Finally was able to download the Portland Rosebuds set you made earlier minus the dated logos, Txranger. Thanks again for making it. Should hopefully be using it quite a bit in the future for them for a yet-undetermined length of time. Can't wait to see what you may or may not do for the MCC-related request later, at your pleasure and leisure. Plan to download and use more of your items than I've already done both those things with so far, whenever and if I get a chance to do so well enough, et cetera. CD out.

PW MAX · 08-17-2018, 05:55 PM

LOVE those Chicago Southpaws and Zollner Pistons sets. Really fantastic stuff on both of those. Wouldn't be the least bit surprised if either of those saw some action in some of my games, sometime.

Hey, I'm the "Cieradkowski" that designs the Ebbets Field shirts - that Zollers came out really cool, the details look just like something from the early 1950's - great job!

Thank you... Couldn't have made it without your work for inspiration... Your the real artist... Love your all of work and your book it is chocked full of great stories...

wow! I got some catching up to do. These logos are fantastic over the last few months

@txranger, I have a request for whenever you have time. Keeping up the skyline theme that you created for us, my Angels GM wanted to rebrand back to the California Angels. Would you mind doing a California Angels skyline logo?
