It would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah I could certainly do that, a quick color change is simple enough

Hockey, after this project is done, would you mind doing one for Kinston, NC? The Rangers announced they're buying Wilmington and moving them to Kinston, I'd like to make the move in the 2017 season in my game...I'm not sure if they'll be returning as the Indians or not...

Seattle Metros

Welcome to the "ABA"! The Seattle Metros have garnished the most interest thus far as they stamped their mark into the "ABA". They are the fifth franchise in the O20. There are several unique elements that have gone into the creation for this baseball team. First and foremost is the nickname "Metros". They are named after the thriving metropolitan area that Seattle locals are known for. In their primary logo they feature the iconic Space needle encompassed in a roundel logo that feature the word mark "Seattle Metros". The four stripes within their main logo and secondary logo are to tie to the boeing aircrafts and the pilots that fly them. This is also a nod to the one year wonder Seattle Pilots baseball team that was in the MLB in the late '60's.

Seattle has also nodded back to the Pilots (MLB) with their color scheme of navy, yellow, and white. They also have a unique set of jerseys where those four stripes can be found on their home and away sleeves. The golden yellow on a blue sleeve. Keeping with a classic approach "Metros" is found on the home why "Seattle" is found on the road in a single navy colored block font. To match this new iconic look both home and road caps are the same in navy coloring featuring a block "S" for Seattle.

1. How do you do the Logo & Uniform guide?

You're referring to my MiLB thread right? I can take a look and if there is official jerseys and logos out I can make a set. Speaking of that thread I am about 60-65% completed. I just needed a break and to swtich gears but it will not fall into the abyss.

1. I do everything in Adobe Illustrator. Browsing the internet I found a very similar style guide and I mimicked it and tweeked it to my liking. So its a .ai file that i add all the logos/wordmarks too as well as the jerseys and caps once I create them. I just save the entire thing as a .png once I am done. I wanted to present everything nicely when creating my teams.

2. Yup, that was the plan. I will post the correct size uniform files and logos and zip em' up.

Well theres no official logo or anything, they last had a team there in 2011.

Reno Travelers

The Reno Travelers have beaten out Las Vegas for their first professional sports team. With both teams placing a bid for a franchise the "ABA" has deemed Reno with an opportunity to host a team of their own. The decision came down to Reno being a safer environment for family and children and keeping players' focused on the game instead of all the dissertations Las Vegas may bring. Reno's nickname "Travelers" has strong roots to the past when these early residents could pick up business from travelers along the California Trail. To provide the necessary connection between Virginia City and the California Trail, Charles W. Fuller built a log toll bridge across the Truckee River in 1859. A small community that would service travelers soon grew up near the bridge. This nickname is in honor of those first settlers.

The Travelers are proud of their name and in doing so have included a gold accent color in their color scheme since Nevada is still the third-largest gold producer in the world. Ranking after South Africa and Australia. The state yielded just about 7% of the world's supply in 2005 world gold production. The main color for Reno is a plum purple. In order to represent their franchise their logo is also in roundel form depicting a early settler with a coonskin cap. The home jersey is white with purple pin stripes in an old western word mark found across the chest. The road features the style script styling reading "Reno" with sleeve stripes and a v neck collar. Both jerseys feature the Traveler's logo. The caps have an "R" for Reno and are plum with a gold button.

Portland Lagers

The 7th baseball team anointed a team is the Portland Lagers. After Seattle was appointed a franchise it was only a matter of time until cross state Portland placed a bid. Being within the same division it looks as if a rivalry is already in the making between the Metros and the Lagers. Portland's team is named after the record the city holds. They are home to the most total breweries and independent microbreweries of any city in the world with 58 active breweries within the city limits. There is no better nickname suited for such a team.

The color scheme for the Lagers precisely reflects the city as well as team. The tall conifers, mainly Douglas fir, along Oregon's rainy west coast contrast with the lighter-timbered and fire-prone pine and juniper forests covering portions are perfectly represented with the forest green. The light cream/tan is significant to the wheat which is found in lager. To compliment these colors a red wine is also used. Portland is also another traditional team when it comes to jersey design with a bold red wine placket and sleeve stripe. On the left sleeve you will find a barrel in which represent's the Lager's identity. "Lagers" is angled across the home while "Portland" is angled across the road. "PL" can be found centered on both home and away ball caps to represent the teams name.

Beautiful lagers Unis and backstory

[Manny42]

Just loving all of this

[Hockey13Playa]

Thanks guys!!! You can see several teams in the original post few teams don't have nicknames and a few I don't even have locations for. If you have any suggestions for either feel free to suggest them! If I like them enough I'll use em

[Padreman]

San Diego is called the Napa Valley of Microbrewery
I say San Diego Microbrewers
But also know for its weather, surfing. Animals (zoo, aquarium, sea world, safari park) Marines and Navy in fact he marines special forces trained here

San Diego zoologist
San Diego Wave
San Diego Recons (as marines special forces)
San Diego Midshipmen

[Padreman]

Oklahoma City Tatankas
In the Lakota language, the word “tatanka” is translated as “buffalo” or “buffalo bull.” However, according to native Lakota speakers, the literal translation is something more like “He who owns us.”

Or even call then rhe Great Plains Tatankas

I don't think the Portland Lagers would appreciate San Diego adopting the Microbrewers However I do like the idea of San Diego Wave. I think I may try that out! I also like the idea of Oklahoma City Tatankas. Thats a very interesting and unique idea! Thanks for the suggestions

Oklahoma City Tatankas

From the Great Plains the Oklahoma City Tatankas have been welcomed as part as O20 in the "ABA". When joining the league this ball club has held a public poll to determine the nickname of their franchise. One lucky fan known as "Padreman" submitted an entry of "Tatankas" and the after thousands of votes his submission was chosen as winner! To honor the rich heritage in Oklahoma City and the Great Plains region the nickname ties into history the Lakota language and the natives that once occupied this spot. A "tatanka" is translated to "buffalo". Buffalo is a significant part of the Great Plains history and represents the land they once occupied.

The Tatanka longo for Oklahoma City doesn't represent traditional colors of a buffalo but rather that of a majestic and sky blue with accents of white. The jersey design for OKC is a solid white home and solid gray road with bi-colored arm stripes featuring both blues. The main charging tatanka logo can be found on the sleeves of both jersey. The home jersey reads "Tatankas" in a blue cursive script and the road features "Oklahoma" in the same format with the word "city" in the swoosh. OKC's home cap is bi colored featuring white and blue with a sky brim where as the away cap is blue with the same sky blue brim. Both caps feature the head profile of the Tatanka logo.

Love the simple and clean, uncluttered uniforms and great wordmarks/logos you have here. I might have to steal some of these for when my own fictional league expands!

Although "Tatankas" always makes me think of the Native American pro wrestler who sold out to the Million Dollar Man...

Um, wait...Travelers...but the uniforms say "Travlers?" Not since the Washington Natinals....

Thanks! I can't take credit for all of the logos and such. Few of the roundels are mine that I've created but some of the more intense ones like the Buffalo, Grizzly, and Flamingo are all modified for my liking There will be a zip file once I am done for you and anyone else to grab!

Haha I totally forgot about him to I googled "Tatanka" and seen tons of images of him
