The San Francisco Rush
Back to the bay, where Dolby Park is the home of the Rush—a non-plural noun to which I have nevertheless have taken a shining. I had more trouble than I ever would have imagined finding a San Francisco name that I really liked; Rush may be amateurish, but it speaks to the region's golden origins and connotes both speed and force. These uniforms and this identity were inspired, again, by a SportsLogos concept thread—I think they may have originated with SFGiants, but I can't recall exactly from whence I pulled the base images. It's a nice, clean look, though, and gives a new color scheme to a city that tends to resign itself to orange and red. Really dig this whole set—it might be one of my favorites in the whole CBL (probably because I didn't have to meddle with it very much). |

The San Jose Condors
Travel south to the valley, and you'll find the Condors playing ball at Cisco Systems Park. San Jose claims the Golden State's most iconic animal—one that, in my opinion, easily merits a place in professional sports. Baseball hasn't been especially kind to the Condors, but, for what it's worth, they have an excellent logo, again designed by the same artist who produced several others in this division (and, as luck would have it, he also came up with a San Jose / Condors pairing—sparing me a lot of PhotoShop editing). |

The Santa Cruz Cruisers
Our penultimate California squad can be found in Santa Cruz, where (who else but) the Cruisers play at Surf City Ballpark. This team has gone through a number of looks through the years, but I've always seen them as a bright teal and yellow sort of squad—surfy. Beachy. Et cetera. The shark became an easy reference point for a logo, 'Cruisers' being near to 'Phillies' in its real-world ambiguity, and I like what I ultimately put together here with the darker shade of blue serving as a contrast for this perpetually frisky team.

The Stockton Nuggets
The last team in the Redwoods—and the last in California—plays at Billy Hebert Park in the fascinating city of Stockton. These Nuggets refer to the gold rush—more aptly, I'd suggest, than their basketball counterparts in Denver. It was a name I've loved since I was a kid, and I knew I had to find a gold-dusted city in the CBL to claim it. The Nuggets are a somewhat successful team in my league, though they aren't always able to stay in the top tier of a tough division. |

We're on to our fifteenth of sixteen divisions: The Big Sky. This group of twelve covers a wide range (and a tall range, too), and contains five legitimate powerhouses in the west—but we'll start with the best of the bunch...
The Boise Stallions From Micron Field in busy Boise, the Stallions are a perennial contender armed with class up and down the roster. The look they sport is simple; in fact, I didn't do much more than create a logo out of found art and tweak the basic caps and unis from the old ten-largest-cities-per state project. I think of the Stallions as the (90s) Denver Broncos of the CBL—you can't do much better than these colors. And, frankly, once the game starts, you can't do much better than these Stallions. |

The Boulder Mountaineers
Prepare your kale smoothies; get your carabiners locked in—we're off to Boulder, Colorado. Chautauqua Stadium is the home of the Mountaineers, a team that never sought to look pretty in its many iterations of mustard and brown. Boulder has never scaled very high in the standings, but they're a reliably mediocre squad with enough pop to keep things interesting. Their look was just about the ugliest in the league prior to a recent remodel; I'm decently pleased with where we landed here, although another reinvention may be in order some day. |

The Casper Oilers
Wyoming's lone entrant in the league plays at Sinclair Park in Casper, an old west boom town on the dusty side of late. I loved the derrick imagery of the old Houston Oilers, and sought out a modernized version of the same in navy and yellow for this squad—one of my personal favorites in the league. The Oilers are a star-studded powerhouse; in my league history to date they have never claimed the division, but have advanced as far as the Elite Eight in the playoffs (in a league of 192, that's rarefied air). With a (forgive me) pipeline of top prospects, this team is poised to remain strong for the foreseeable future. |

I really like the Las Vegas Pharaohs set. Would it be at all possible to post a home white set for the Pharaohs uniform and an away gray set for the Las Vegas uniform?

The Colorado Kestrels
All right. So it took me six months to make it from Casper to Colorado Springs; RIP to my laptop, my league files, and my ability to share the quickstart I once promised. Fortunately, I saved my logo/jersey/cap files to Imgur—unfortunately, I lost my three levels (576 teams) of minor league ball. C'est la vie. The irony is that I was one stop away from Security Service Field, where the Kestrels once played unremarkable baseball, and where they will, with any luck, play unremarkable baseball once more. The Kestrels nod to the Air Force Academy, natch. |

The Denver Peaks
Our final stop in the Centennial State is—where else but—Denver, where Xcel Energy Stadium plays home to the middling Peaks.* Something about this color scheme compels me; the glossy green-grey is an underused gem.* I modified this logo from... someone on here—it's been so long now, I apologize for not remembering and offering proper credit. |

The Duluth Polar Bears
In arguably the best division in my (tragically lost) league, Duluth has always been a perpetual power.**Allete Park hosts the Polar Bears, whose scheme I changed to center around an excellent Low design after many underwhelming bear images came and went. |

Excellent. Do you have the 'D' logo from the hat?

The Fargo Pioneers
Here in the CBL, we've got a team for every Dakota; for the good people of Fargo, here come the Pioneers. An overachieving playoff squad in their heyday, the Pioneer look was lifted from a more talented artist than I, and adapted using PhotoShop from Portland to North Dakota's own metropolis. A well-rounded club who have undergone many a uniform change in their day, the Pioneers play ball at Essentia Field. |

By my count we have 16 to go. Hopefully you have those. I have been tremendously interested in this concept, and am looking to re-create the league.

I certainly hope that TrapperJohn will be able to finish this league. I had given up hope when he took the hiatus, and I'm glad to have him back! I've been looking forward to cooking up a promotion-relegation league structure with these teams.

TrapperJohn - I have to say this is spectacular. I have been following since the beginning, and now can't wait until the end. I'll admit, I was impatient and started building my own quickstart off of your designs this weekend -- so I eagerly await the remaining teams.
While I (im)patiently wait for the rest of your league, I have two questions: 1. You've spelled out how you handle the playoffs, but how do you handle your regular season schedule? How many games do you play? With 192 teams, I'm curious as to your schedule layout. 2. With all of the spectacular logos you have in this league, do you also have a CBL league logo to go with it? Looking forward to the rest! Thanks!
