Team Name Suggestions

Tiesenberg · 07-10-2009, 12:52 AM

I'm working on a quickstart that so far has 12 college conference feeder leagues and I am now looking to add 1 high-school feeder league with an undecided number of teams. I'm in need of team names, any ideas you creative gurus might have would be great, if you happen to have logos that you would want to share that would be even better.

My goal is to eventually share this all with everyone here and hopefully get it up on Padres site sometime in a week or so with some real college and high-school players on rosters.

Thanks

I created some "generic" high schools for my league some time back. They were designed so that they plausibly could be anywhere in the US. Most of them are named for famous Americans but some have names such as Eastern, Central, etc. They have fairly simple uniforms because they were meant to also fill a broad time period.

Don't know if you want them but they're available if you do. Here is the original thread.

For some of them I've updated the logos to look like this. None of them have real logos - just cap letters.

Appreciate those logos, they look very nice.

I've come up with a MLB High School Summer Showcase League as my high-school feeder league. At the moment the teams include the:

Al Kaline All-Stars
Bob Ueker All-Stars
Don Sutton All-Stars
Ernie Harwell All-Stars
George Sisler All-Stars
Hank Aaron All-Stars
Hank Greenberg All-Stars
Harry Kalas All-Stars
Jimmie Foxx All-Stars
Mickey Mantle All-Stars
Mike Schmidt All-Stars
Nolan Ryan All-Stars
Rickey Henderson All-Stars
Roberto Clemente All-Stars
Sandy Koufax All-Stars
Steve Carlton All-Stars
Tony Gwynn All-Stars
Vin Scully All-Stars
Willie Stargell All-Stars
Yogi Berra All-Stars

I've randomly assigned them to one of four divisions of five teams within two leagues. If anyone has any suggestions on different players or on a better way to organize the teams within divisions/leagues (including names for divisions/leagues) it would be appreciated.

In addition, if anyone could make some logos it would be awesome. If making logos for each team is too much, I'd love to see some generic All-Star jerseys that could be assigned to a couple of the teams.

As always, thank you to everyone!

I made some quick jerseys. Let me know if they're OK. All are red, white and blue.

There are here - Jerseys pictures by tombair - Photobucket - they're the ones called All-Stars1,... They should be at the top.

As for names, how about a couple named for Negro Leaguers such as Satchel Paige or Josh Gibson?

Tiesenberg · 07-15-2009, 01:35 PM

Those are perfect!

Also like the idea of Negro League players, I'll be sure to change some of those.

Thanks for everything.
