Hey, thanks HP! I use Adobe Illustrator for everything, it's my go to program. All of this stuff is not originally created by me though; some stuff is 100% mine, others are a collaboration of borrowed ideas, some stuff is modified for my tastes. I do whatever works for the team I'm going for

this will continue though as I'm dying to cross the finish line so I can start my fictional game!

No need to apologize. Besides, if you try to rush too fast, then you'd lose creativity

It's my pleasure, I actually have enjoyed doing it and wondering which one, if any, of my suggestions you choose and then seeing what you come up with. I've been having a lot of fun and I know how much work it takes to build a fictional world so I'm happy to help. No worries about the slow progress, real life sometimes hampers our fun but won't destroy it

Damn, this is one of the best (if not the best) set of teams, logos, jerseys, and caps I've ever seen on this forum. I respect both you guys, Hock and Manny, for your continued production of great designs and names. I love how the minors are based on the majors and the outstanding quality of your work. Thanks for sharing your ideas and please keep on producing the same top-notch stuff you've been creating!

For your Portland franchise, you planned on a single A team in Gresham. Hillsboro is the suburb of Portland that was the most willing to put up for a minor league team. Most people in Portland wouldn't visit the east side like Gresham due to crime issues.

Hillsboro is also home to the Hops team, which goes hand in hand with the pro team.

I sincerely hope that you didn't lose interest. This is one of my favorite sets so far.

Hockey13Playa · 09-13-2015, 05:38 PM

Thanks everyone!!! I've been busy with another project right now

which has led to my disappearance right now. But I'll back to finish in due time.

Thanks for all the kind words

jpeters1734 · 10-13-2015, 11:03 PM

Hoping to revive this wonderful set?

Manny42 · 10-14-2015, 12:49 PM

Yeah I'd love to help him finish it off

However I do like the idea of San Diego Wave. I think I may try that out! I also like the idea of Oklahoma City Tatankas. Thats a very interesting and unique idea! Thanks for the suggestions

How about the San Diego Surf or Surfers?

Do you design all of your logos from scratch?

Great work!!

Hi all, my time has been devoted to this project:

Which is why I've been MIA

Very cool! Any chance of getting the links for this working again? I just found this thread on Sunday, and I'd love to make a new league with all your work.

HOCKEY!! How dare yo... wait....*looks at your name*.... ok I guess I understand

Good luck, they look amazing (no surprise there after seeing your work here). Looking forward to you finishing that so we can finish this

cmaug · 10-15-2015, 02:25 PM

Good work on this series!

My favorite concept is that all teams in the same org use the same color pallete.

Links were just updated! I reorganized my drop box, so "moving" them broke the link, but should be good now!

Thank you!!! That's one thing I certainly wanted to go for, and like... not just in baseball but sports in general, when the teams share color palettes and even certain design styles.
