Request for logos and jerseys for fictional league

raycascade · 11-10-2011, 06:55 PM

I've noticed quite a few of you are talented in creating jerseys and logos. Was wondering if anyone would like to take on the endeavor of creating logos and jerseys for my 20-team fictional league.

Ideally, I'd like each team to look unique (some MLB teams look too similar, IMO), using color schemes based off state/city flags (with a few exceptions) that can mostly be found on Wikipedia. But that can be flexible. Of course, I don't wanna step on anyone's toes as far as creativity goes. These are more like suggestions, if I may. Hats can have either a logo or a letter. The teams:

Rochester Colonels (navy blue, white, red trim?)

Raleigh Oaks (brownish, greenish, yellow trim?)
Louisville Nine (inspired by Mudville; really really dig the Mudville Nine logo and colors)
Memphis Cotton Kings
New Orleans Creoles (red, blue, and gold trim?)
Havana Cubans
Macon Maroons
Birmingham Grays (dark gray, navy blue, white trim?)
Maui Fishwrappers
Santa Fe Spirits (based off the American Spirits logo: yellow pack; sky blue instead of turquoise as the trim)
Salt Lake City Statesmen
Reno Crapshooters (dice for the double Os? nickname can be shortened to Craps across the jersey)
Madison Lunatics (nickname can be shortened to Loonies)
Hollywood Stars (star for the hat? Star for the a in Stars?)

Sacramento Citizens
Omaha Crows
Austin Scholars
Boise Bonnevilles

Hartford Quicksteps
Kansas City Crackers (Kansas, not Missouri)

As I have no idea how to do this, I am at your mercy. And I have time, as I still need to build my league and set strategies and stuff. So I can be patient. I have no idea what this entails or how long it will take. So thanks to anyone for their willingness. Am I asking for too much? Your efforts are greatly appreciated. Have fun.

Cheers,

Ray

Unfortunately, the time required to hunt down or create the 'base' logo for each team is simply too time consuming for me.

I lack the patience of many of the logo/uniform designers here.

If you were to post the base logo for each time, it would be much easier for myself and/or others to take a shot at this for you. Even then, no guarentee I'd have the time to take a shot at them for you... but it would certainly make it easier.

Not to plug myself

but I do have a decent sized collection of logos (see my sig) that you can check out. It is by no means the best set of logos out there but it might give you something to offer up to people when asking for help.

What I came up with for the L-Ville 9

Ky55Marine · 11-14-2011, 06:52 PM

Made this for the cotton kings I couldn't find the right font and didn't want to make one for free so if anyone could throw a good font on it would be cool

CJ I made pack for him from your logo set, a few Negro/ PCL unis from No Pep, and the rest from Vimage...There were only a handful that I couldnt find either a logo or uniform for. I also sent him the links to the 7 or so photobuckets I have saved.
Memphis Cotton Kings - couldnt find either logo or uni
NO Creoles
Maui Fishwrappers
Sante Fe Spirits i think
SLC Statesmans
Reno Crapshooters
Madison Lunatics

Now there are uni's mostly from CJ's fictional historical set that have the city name on them, but no logo and the colors may not match.
I have a Madison jersey and another 1 that just has an M on it (I didnt make either, obviously) both look great for my Madison Pirates.

here they are
and heres a link to Maddenteams Lunatics
Maddenteams

and a Harrisburg Lunatics

Not sure if this is what you were looking for but here is what I got for the New Orleans Creoles. I saw a cool looking map on Google images when looking for a quick inspiration and used the colors (good combo, IMO).

Gern44 · 11-15-2011, 12:56 PM

That New Orleans logo is very nice... and I was just working on a fairly off the wall template that it would fit quite nicely. No idea how it looks in the game, but how's this?...

Gern44 · 11-15-2011, 01:13 PM

Lunatics...

Gern44 · 11-15-2011, 01:31 PM

Nothing against KY55's 9's logo (which I quite like!)... but I found a Mudville 9 logo and made a jersey and cap based on that...

I like the jersey colors! I forgot that the original post included uniform and hat logos; I have added them here as well as the shooting star in case someone wants to do more with this.

The NO is the hat logo (or can even be used as a alternative logo?) and I have included a city script as well.

EDIT: Talking to Gern44 about the NO jersey, not the Miami jersey

I like that new template! That New Orleans logo really does work with it well!

drums016 · 11-15-2011, 02:35 PM

I agree, omniart. I am usually a conservative jersey guy but that jersey fits the logo very, very well. Of course, Gern44's jersey always look great

Gern44 · 11-15-2011, 03:40 PM

Thanks guys... Im flattered by all the compliments. Im just glad I can contribute.

Perfection as always...well let me know when ay get back into doing logos....I actually want someone to teach me vs doing these for me...your tutorial leaves me confused since I use GIMP or Paint.net and i cant find videos on how to do jerseys. But i have a few tweaks to uni's you have done before, mostly misc caps when teams change names, a few alts and atleast 2 new uni's with logos. Not in any hurry.
