That should bring us through 1909. Onwards to the 1910s...

I'll go back and give a brief introduction to each set as time permits.

Thank you for following along!

Hello, everyone. Still plugging away on this. I took some time to work on some other projects in the interim, including some baseball cards based on the old T206 set for my online league that can be found on the forum here.

The 1920s are more-or-less completed. I'll be posting the updated graphics here over the next few days. I haven't taken the time to figure out how to make these compatible with the new 3D format. Maybe that'll be the next project...

This set for the Indianapolis Stars was inspired by the 1922 St. Louis Stars' uniforms -- Cool Papa Bell's rookie year.

The Snappers' '20s set is based off of the 1929 Cubs. I even added a sleeve patch with a turtle holding a bat on the away jerseys per the Cubs' bear-with-bat patch in their away set.

LBL_Brendan · 01-12-2023, 12:14 PM

This set was inspired by this undated photograph of the Cuban Stars uniforms (looks like the 30s to my eye). The logo is based on the Cuban Stars' logo.

Thank you for posting again.

LBL_Brendon, this is an outstanding league... marvelous graphics and writing on your wonderful website... great concept and design.

I never saw this on the OOTP Dynasty Forum.
Have you ever posted it there?

This is one of the best leagues I have ever seen on the OOTP Forums.
It is right up there with the best dynasty reports ever.

LBL_Brendan · 01-12-2023, 12:30 PM

The Nickajacks are one of my favorite franchises in the set of 24. Here, you could probably look at the 1924 Phillies as a uniform analogue, with the logo inspired by the Reds' classic wishbone C.

Thank you, Eugene. We actually mostly run this as a second major league in an online league that we have (no human GMs for these teams) with plans for integration (and maybe a merger of the major leagues unlike in real life) in the future. So far, there has been one Exhibition match between the major leagues. The Five-Time LBL Champion Philadelphia Brewers played the LNBL Champion Chattanooga Nickajacks in Philadelphia. It got some... national attention... and was not without controversy. But, in the end, the game was played and the Nickjacks won!

You can follow the LNBL here. The Atlanta Foxes and Chattanooga Nickajacks (behind amazing SP Cole 'Haymaker' Haynes) have probably been the most successful to-date. 1906 is the first year for the northern teams, though, and the Cincinnati Snappers are off to a strong start.

We will let the GMs develop the course of the league in terms of relocations/expansions/contractions. So, though there are 24 teams in this set, only 16 are in use at the moment--to allow wiggle room for future changes.

Thank you again for following along, Eugene! I appreciate your time and attention.

Thank you, 20_range. That's very flattering to hear. Glad you have enjoyed the thread!

This set is probably best seen as a combination of the Detroit Tigers' old English D and the Cleveland uniforms from the '20s (one example here). The blue/gray road jerseys are unique to Memphis.
