Vacation Rookie League

[20_range]

I decided to do some of the proposed rookie league teams from this post.

The Vacation League (R)

A rookie league set in hot vacation spots/national parks with affiliations to real MLB teams.

I'm probably only going to do three or four, but it gave me some good ideas. Making its own thread so it doesn't clutter TX's thread. I eventually want to replace every minor league team with something I made or that was made by someone on this board. Why not the rookie league teams too?

The list as posted is below, other people could think about doing ones that interest them. I won't be following it exactly, and the directions I go in may not be where you or anyone else would have wanted:

First, regarding the Grand Canyon Diamondbacks, poiuy did an incredible Arizona Canyoneers team which I am already using. Really recommend it. Here are the small logos.

From the seal of the town of Ocean City!

Pigeon Forge is the home of Dollywood. I can only assume that this is what maxwasson was asking for!

In this timeline, Dolly Parton bought the White Sox from Jerry Reinsdorf

This is just incredible. How have they not done this mashup in real life?

This is probably actually more along the lines of the original idea

I think I'm going to use this one for the Delmarva Shore Birds, but the small logo could also work for the Ocean City Orioles, above I hope the sun hat comes across

If you wanted to take this in a different direction, Hershey owns the company that makes Pirate's Booty snacks.

Here we can see that Mr. Red has decided to BASE jump off the New River Gorge Bridge. the poster one did not really work, but I included it anyway. They all have white outlines that don't show up here.

from their bridge alternate

I should look for a better font to try to make a better Y

Thanks do you happen to know a good Dodgers "LA" hat logo font for the next team?

Thanks poiuy. Yellowstone, Ocean City and Hershey are now all updated with better-font small cap logos. And here is the Dodgers team

Here he is jumping off the Roebling Bridge in Cincinnati!

The eternal rivals of the Yellowstone Giants


The idea here is that the grand old NY teams took the best National Parks spots in the early 20th century, as you will see when I get to my extremely stupid idea for the Yankees

The Reds Jumper made me seriously laugh out loud...classic
