World Pro Baseball - Fictional 70's Era League and Minors
Hey, everybody, so a couple of people on the retro thread were mentioning that they wished there was more 70's/80's era stuff on the board. Since I have a huge amount of that stuff, I figured I'd put it together into a more digestible form. With that in mind, may I present World Pro Baseball, a fictional 70's era league. I also am going to have at least one minor league level, centered on the great lakes/rust belt region. Some of the logos are going to be my own work, while some of them are modified versions of corporate, minor league football/basketball, or pro softball logos from the era. Hope you all enjoy!

All of these first couple have been posted in various forms before, but I've improved and added alternate versions, so it's more usable the way people play now. Below are the Boston Minutemen:

I like the large logo a lot. For the small one, a square or vertical image area is much better than horizontal image area. The wide logos get shrunk down really small on the league standings screen, etc. Maybe for this one get rid of the side waves and just go with the C.

Next up, the Philadelphia Keystones - other then some (very minor) changes, this logo is from SFGiants58, who posts regularly on the Sports Logos.net forums, so credit to him and his excellent work!

The logo here is from a real pro softball team in the 70's, the Pittsburgh Hardhats. Might have gone a bit crazy with the "construction worker" alt here, but hey, that's the fun of this era.

The Chicago Stingers are next up, the logo is from the old WHA Cincinnati Stingers. Had a lot of fun creating the "bee" style striping on these.

Thank you for the kind words! Glad somebody else is enjoying this stuff.

This one is another modified pro softball team, and this one I keep pretty simple and classy, it's the Minnesota Norsemen. Not a lot of craziness going on here, so let me know if y'all want some more alts or different cap options, I'm open to suggestions. |

These are fantastic. And speaking as the person who created Jersey Maker & Cap Maker, I am amazed at what you've been able to make it do!

Thank you! That means a lot, your tools have really made OOTP a lot more fun for me, so I really appreciate that. The option to load layers is something that I've started utilizing a lot more lately that really gives you pretty much limitless possibilities creatively.
