I thought it was so strange for the IWSA to have a team in Edmonton -- a good 1,500 mile drive from the nearest league franchise in San Jose -- I thought I'd take a crack at the Edmonton Snowbirds:

Another IWSA team...the San Diego Sandpipers:

The logo is real, but the unis are fictional. I went with the same mustard-and-brown colour scheme as the Padres. (Forgive me, ladies.)

I tried in vain for 20 minutes to get just the right shade of blue to match this snippet from the real uniform...

...before I gave up. If anyone else wants to take a crack, be my guest.

And the cap:

BTW, the sleeve patch is taken from the other Snowbirds, Canada's military aerobatics/air show flight demonstration team (basically, the Canadian Blue Angels).

You just can't work with an image of that size and low resolution... Start from scratch...

...not one jersey or cap done by you loafers?! I'm appalled! Shocked! Stunned! Slightly miffed, even...!

Oh, well. Here's the South Jersey A's, thanks to a cool "SJ" I found on the net...

I've been holding off on doing the more (ahem) iconic unis for teams like Milwaukee and Kentucky, because I think y'all could do a better job. Anyone?

I don't like the names "Copper Hearth" or "Schlitz", so I created a uni for the Milwaukee Bangers. The logo's not mine; thanks to whoever came up with it:

Also, to anyone who's still reading this thread: the Chicago Nationwide Advertisers seemed to use unis that were almost exact clones of the ones the White Sox were using in the late 70s/early 80s, like so:

...but I can't seem to figure out the ".oi" files to open one up and use for the softball team. Anybody?

...and that's that. Anyone else willing to contribute, that's fine.

I'll be creating a softball quickstart soon!
