Des Moines Historic Minor League Teams

[Elysian Fields]

Anybody know of any historic logos and jerseys for the Des Moines Boosters, Des Moines Bruins or any of the many different named Des Moines teams?

I haven't made any uniforms or logos for any Des Moines teams (yet?), but here are three Old Judge Baseball Cards depicting players in uniform: Charles Brynan, Leech Maskrey, and Robert Emmerke of the 1889 Des Moines Prohibitionists. The Maskrey card says 1888 on the front, but according to baseball-reference.com, Maskrey played for Des Moines in 1889 and the Milwaukee Brewers/Creams in 1888. If anybody else is interested in putting together some uniforms from this era across many leagues, I found these at the Library of Congress website.

Cool. Here is a pic of the Bruins throwbacks worn recently, I guess. From the 40s I think, when affiliated to the Cubs back then. The Booster team of the 1900s seemed to have all white jerseys from the one image I found.

Here is a Des Moines Demons cap from the Western League sometime between 1925 and 1937.

And a 1926 home jersey for the Des Moines Demons.
