Old-timey Baseball Logos and a League, Anyone? (likely ongoing) - Page 5

I haven't seen any of the logos yet, but I already want to use them! Particularly the Cuban ones - it has been difficult to come up with fictional Cuban teams. Is it possible for some of these to be uploaded individually so they can be easily used?

A brief note about my version of the Bundesliga...

A pedantic student of history would know that the actual German colors of 1906 were red, white, & black (link), and not the modern red, gold, & black. However, you can probably figure out why I wouldn't want to base a German league that takes place in the first half of the Twentieth Century on the colors red, white, and black.

Hey, these are amazing - the link to the Onedrive does not work for me. Are these available somewhere?

tm1681, your work in one word -- MAGNIFICENT!

Those logos are fantastic.

Thanks again for the feedback! Not much from the last couple of months because some of the stuff I've been doing has been the toughest I've attempted to do so far.

For the Irish and British leagues, I wanted to give the teams looks similar to those that you may find in other sports from those countries since baseball isn't really much of a thing in Great Britain or Ireland now. That involved a lot of crest-making, and as a result some of the team logos took a good 2-3 hours to figure out.

I've been personally busy during that time as well, and on top of that I bought a new laptop. Don't worry - the battery was going on the old one after about 6.5 years so I had more than enough time to make sure everything was backed up properly.

I have two early 1900s leagues' worth of identities left to work one: the German Baseball Bundesliga and a league in Italy. I'm working under the idea that emigrants to America from both countries brought the game back to their homelands, and over time there were enough clubs to start competitions.

Here are samples from the leagues I've done so far, and I'll post them in full as I get to their year in my game universe:

The All-Ireland Baseball Championship

The Cuban National Series

The Baseball League of Wales

ECBL 1st Division

ECBL 2nd Division

The Scottish Baseball League

The Southern League

The Pacific Coast League

The Intermountain Baseball League

This is fantastic work. Is there a link where we can find these? The OneDrive link earlier in the thread doesn't work for me and when I try to "save image as" I end up getting multiple images in the same file. Instead of, say, just downloading the Cleveland Generals jersey, the image has all 10 jerseys from that particular post.

Either way, this is much appreciated. Really great stuff.
