1970-present historical minor league uniform set?

Hoping to see this project continued. Your work has improved so much. This stuff is fantastic and something I've wanted for a long time for OOTP. So many thanks to you.

Thanks! I should hopefully be getting to the 1990-and-beyond jerseys soon. Since my 1961-? season got totally fried after 1989, I've switched to playing a 1944-? league, a fictional league and a Japanese league. And I'm doing facegens for the Japanese one. But I'll do my best to get back to these in the next month or so.

So, hang in there, and if anybody else wants to get on board with this project, you certainly won't be stepping on my toes. NoPepper was making a historical set that would blow my stuff away, but I haven't heard anything about it for a while now.

I filled out a list thru the first eight pages so far of each team, organized by league (i.e. AA, PCL, NWL, etc.), years of jerseys/caps, and if an MLB cap and/or jersey applies.

EDIT: now updated thru Page 11...which has the listings of ALL MiLB teams listed in this thread.

I think 90% or more of the stuff I've done is from 1986-1990 so far. '86 to '94 was sort of the golden era of minor league baseball cards (thank you, 80's baseball card boom!), so it's easier to find pictures from that era or later.

Thanks for making that file! Hopefully, that'll make things easier for people.

I'd almost forgotten the Xpress existed! They were the infamous "permanent home-less AA team" for a few years until they finally settled in Mobile. Nice obscure one. I'll try to get on that one in the next couple days.

It was great to have minor-league baseball in town every weekend at 11 years old. Always attended Friday, Saturday or Sunday games with my mom and stepdad for the Sounds or Xpress (whenever I didn't have a game myself).

Cool! Sadly, my hometown was so small, the last minor league team was a Class D one that moved away over 20 years before I was born.

If you or anybody else have any other requests, don't hesitate to let me know.

I know that justafan's 2004 quickstart had a bunch of other minor league uni's in there. I need to go thru them to see what all is there, along with 2011 and 2013, then physically sort them in a league folder.

Eventually, I will create a timeline, starting in 1970 (most likely) for every affiliated minor league.

Also...I noticed the link posted earlier in this thread for some logos is broken/not found.

I haven't found them anywhere, so I thought I could contribute with the Quebec City Carnavals, the Expos AA affiliate in the 70s. I couldn't find a color picture of the cap, but I guess they were the same colors as the Expos.

I'm still working on the team logo.

Edit: Cap updated

[Pwal]

Here's the logo. I'm not quite satisfied with it, but that's the best I can do with what I have.

AWESOME JOB!!! The more people doing these historical minors so beautifully, the better.

Here's another one from the Eastern League: the Trois-Rivières Aigles (Eagles), the Reds AA affiliate from 1971 to 1977. This is the 76-77 jersey and cap.

I only found 2 black and white team pics from these years. So it's not 100% faithful to the originals, but I think it's a good placeholder.

[Pwal]

Ok, 2 more from me from my birthplace. The Thetford Mines Pirates were the Pittsburgh Pirates AA affiliates in the Eastern League in 1974. They became the Mineurs (Miners) in 1975 and they were affiliated to the Milwaukee Brewers. Boy, it must have been so depressing for these American players to come play in our little French-Canadian mining town (asbestos mines on top of it!).

I'm still a newcomer here, so I'm not sure how things work in this community. The Pirates logo is from the franchise set I downloaded here or on ootpmods, I can't remember and I don't know who is the author. So, it's not my creation. All credit goes to the original author.

If it isn't appropriate top post someone else's work here, I'll gladly remove it.

So, let's start with the Pirates.

Edit: I re-did the jersey, just to be safe.

[Pwal]

And here are the Mineurs.

Edit: I re-did the cap and updated the jersey.

Great stuff! Love having so many options for my next league's minors.
