    Magicians - Very nice! Perhaps make the stars on the magician's cap in the primary logo white. Other than that, everything looks great. 

    Chicago Angels - No complaints here. Maybe replace the White Sox script "Chicago" with this Cubs wordmark since it's pretty much identical to the "Angels" script. 

     

    Vegas Angels - Flipping the "A" upside-down to create a "V" is clever! I'd be curious to see this set in Golden Knights colors. Basically, replace navy with black/steel gray and yellow with Vegas gold. Also, I'm not sure about the "VA." When I see "VA," I think "Virginia." The cap logo could probably just be the haloed "V" from the road wordmark. 
     

    P.S. I'm so incredibly sorry to hear about your wife's cancer diagnosis. I'll be praying for both of you. I hope designing can provide some small distraction while you also tend to her needs. 

    Thank you @coco1997.  I will review  and make some adjustments.

    Wow, I'm rather blown away by all the input! Thanks for all your help and hopefully y'all like the colors I picked...

     

    Without further delay, I present to you the Minnesota Vikings Los Angeles Lakers LSU Tigers...New Orleans Crescents:

     

    XW2UfVW.png

     

    Out of the eleven UBA teams without a title in their franchise history, the 1972 expansion team from New Orleans has the most postseason appearances. The CL South Division is typically weak, but currently has three teams over .500, including New Orleans at 18-15. Sadly, this is only good for third place, as the Crescents are 2 games behind the surging Houston ball club. Yet, New Orleans has actually been pretty good since the turn of the millennium, with seven postseason appearances and only two finishes below second place since 2000. A couple of those second place finishes have been with a below .500 record though, evidence of the status of the South Division as weak. Despite their successes, the Crescents have failed to turn it into titles, losing to Washington in 2010 in their first and only finals appearance so far.

     

    The Crescents have a top-notch offense, but a basement-dwelling pitching staff. The two main offensive threats are five-time All-Star 3B Will Langmore, the face of the franchise, and 27-year-old LF Eduardo Capirossi. The 33-year-old Langmore is the #3 third baseman in the league (behind Merritt of Seattle and Tony Aguilar of Chicago), and has been extremely well-rewarded for his role in New Orleans' recent successes, as he’s in just year two of a $30 million per year contract through his age 36 season. While he’s brought star-level talents to the team for nearly a decade now, Langmore also accounts for nearly a third of the Crescents’ payroll. Like Langmore, Capirossi is a homegrown, nationally popular star too. He’s currently on pace for a 49 HR season, which would easily eclipse his personal record of 39 HR two seasons ago and certainly increase his currently affordable $4.4 million deal from arbitration. The contract demands of Langmore and the lack of recent success at developing homegrown starters is why 31-year-old SP Dave Haegele is considered the #1 starter in New Orleans. Haegale pitched to just a 4.77 ERA last season across 28 starts and this season is not any better, as he holds a 6.39 ERA through 7 starts so far.

     

    New Orleans features three logos, of which the roundel and interlocking NO get the most use. The roundel is solely a shoulder logo for the jerseys, while the NO is used for the caps. The fleur-de-lis, found in the city flag and the heraldry of the city’s namesake, the Duke of Orléans, features prominently in the roundel, partly surrounded by a crescent from the city's police badges. The actual team name, the Crescents, comes from the city’s nickname as “the Crescent City,” which originates from the city’s initial crescent-shaped geography along the Mississippi River. The orientation of the crescent in the roundel matches that geography. The fleur-de-lis was formerly used as a standalone logo, but has in recent years been relegated to just its placement in the roundel. The throwback recognizes the days where the fleur-de-lis had more importance though, as it adorns the cap of the throwback set from the Crescents' Continental League Pennant winning-season in 2010. That season was one of the last seasons in which the Crescents wore vests and utilized a more bronze-y gold. New Orleans wears the alternate at both home and away games, though not often. The yellow-billed cap is worn at home only, either with the home or alt uniforms.

    As I mentioned before, the interlocking NO is directly inspired by this Notre Dame logo. As for the fleur-de-lis, it is my own sketch that I created after looking at various fleur-de-lis designs and making my own version. If the UBA were to exist in the same universe as the NFL and NBA, then New Orleans would have a cool little thing going with the Saints, Pelicans, and my Crescents all featuring different versions of the symbol. The recommendation of the athletic gold was a solid recommendation that I appreciate a lot, considering that I was hoping to save metallic gold for San Francisco eventually and I hadn't thought of athletic gold for New Orleans before. I had fun stealing the color scheme of LSU to really connect the Crescents to another Louisiana-based team too.

     

    I've got some fun stuff in the works -- a metallic gold San Francisco team, a classic teal team from Florida, and a Mr. Met / Mr. Red homage -- as well as an update to the Seattle primary logo and shoulder logo too. Hope y'all are staying healthy and that you like New Orleans! C&C is appreciated as always.

    Original Description -

    "New Orleans features two logos that receive almost equal attention across their jerseys and caps. The fleur-de-lis, found in the city flag and the heraldry of the city’s namesake, the Duke of Orléans, is the logo for the home cap. The interlocking city abbreviation adorns the front of the home uniform in a bold gold and purple color scheme. The actual team name, the Crescents, comes from the city’s nickname as “the Crescent City,” which originates from the city’s initial crescent-shaped geography along the Mississippi River. The Crescents are one of the few UBA teams to wear vests on a regular basis and to not have a single jersey with their nickname written across the front. There are three caps, of which the fleur-de-lis cap is solely worn at home, while either NO cap can be worn at home or away. New Orleans wears the alternate at both home and away games, often with the golden billed cap."

    I'm curious about the Mr. Met/Mr. Red Homage concept you had planned.  Is this still a possibility?

    "Skyliners" is an excellent alternate identity for the Mets. The "Skyliners" script is really great. 

    A few suggestions for some previous teams:

    Bears - Make the middle stripe on the sleeves and pants white


    Adventurers - Can you make the inner section of the scripts and numbers red?

    Looking forward to the Angels roadtrip!

    Thank you @coco1997.  I will take a look at Toronto and Denver.
