The orange shorts were definitely a last-minute change from the original brown shorts, and you're totally right that it looks better with brown! EDIT 3/15/23: At the suggestion of @mcrosby on Twitter, the crest has been redrawn so that the soccer ball is underneath only the horse's front feet. The kits have been updated accordingly!

East Division Pendleton Cowboys Pendleton, Oregon Championships: 0 DETAILS: --- Now that we're halfway through the Oregon League, here are how the league's crests look all together: Still got plenty of teams and cool ideas left, and I'm still open for any suggestions that anyone may have for the remaining 25 teams

Thanks so much! Let's just say that Brookings is a sunnier version of Brighton & Hove Albion --- North Division Milwaukie-Lake Oswego United Milwaukie/Lake Oswego, Oregon Championships: 1 DETAILS:

Here's the southernmost team in the Oregon League! South Division Brookings SC Brookings, Oregon Championships: 0 DETAILS:

Thanks so much! I definitely tried having a primarily-yellow back for the Astoria clash, and I promise you it didn't look great While I personally prefer the gold herons and stripes for the Chehalem home, I made a version where those are light blue just for you! Your Adidas link didn't work, so I hope I assumed the placement of the Icarus logo correctly I'm glad you liked all these other teams! That's an...interesting Sounders kit I tried the Klamath clash in tan instead of white, but the tan ended up muddying the look of a kit that I wanted to keep as crisp as the lake. As far as Mt. Hood's crest is concerned, the slightly lopsided diamonds are actually intentional so that the diamonds fit the curved shield better (I couldn't make a good shield with straight-on diamonds). Thanks for the thorough feedback as always! --- Northwest Division Multnomah Athletic Club Portland, Oregon Championships: 11 In a world without the Portland Timbers, the real-world Multnomah Athletic Club has taken over neighboring Providence Park to field the most dominant team in the Oregon League DETAILS:

Happy to see another state-level soccer league on these boards, and I appreciate the shoutout! May I ask what program you're using to make these concepts? You've got some solid designs with great rationale here, and I'm excited to see what else you make for Alabama!

Looks like we already got ourselves a fan culture! It's gonna be a really rowdy area, with neighboring Pendleton being home to a rodeo --- Staying close to the Columbia River for this next team... North Division Mt. Hood SC Sandy, Oregon Championships: 0 DETAILS: Here's the YouTube video that I reference on the clash kit explainer: Peter Dibble has some excellent mini-documentaries about Oregon history, and I'm definitely referencing another one of his videos for a future team

With this pointer in mind, I decided to change the dark blue clash to a white kit with the same pattern: Thanks for the feedback! --- The second food-related team of the East Division! East Division Hermiston Town SC Hermiston, Oregon Championships: 1 DETAILS:

Thank you so much! You know, I definitely caught that numbering error on Illustrator but forgot to re-export that image file with the number 19 Someone on Twitter suggested that I revisit the home kit gradient to better connect the kit design, so here it is with the gradient starting as a dark blue at the top and a light blue at the bottom (instead of the other way around):

Staying in the South Division for the next team! South Division SC Klamath Falls Klamath Falls, Oregon Championships: 0 After the relocation of the original SC Klamath Falls in the California Soccer League in 2017, a new Oregon League team has taken its place with a completely different identity but with the name of the defunct CSL team DETAILS:

Thank you so much! Here's a version of the AC Chehalem Valley home kit with a centered crest: The template I've been using is this ancient but versatile template by @raysox from 2015 --- The other real-life team (kinda) in the Oregon League... South Division Eugene United Eugene, Oregon Championships: 1 In this universe, the real-world Lane United FC has merged with the fictional Eugene SC. Also, a shoutout to @Green27 for suggestions for the Eugene team as well as the two remaining Lane County teams! DETAILS:

Staying in the Northwest Division, here is one of the very few real-life teams in the Oregon League! Northwest Division AC Chehalem Valley Astoria, Oregon Championships: 1 I'm in touch with AC Chehalem Valley's founder, and he gave me the blessing to give his team a men's side for this league! He also provided me with the heron graphic drawn by Richard Miller of Calyx Design DETAILS:

Seeing that the necktie was the elephant in the room, I decided to ditch the Fort Astoria shape entirely and replace it with a simple oval with a redrawn Astoria Column: DETAILS: Thank you everyone for the feedback, and I'll have another team in the Northwest Division up this weekend hopefully!

Glad you liked Yaquina Bay! That crest definitely look a while to make because of all the intertwined elements Speaking of which, I changed the clash kit to have a more striped contour instead of a color block one: I really appreciate the support, my friend! --- Northwest Division Fort Astoria SC Astoria, Oregon Championships: 0 DETAILS: ORIGINAL NECKTIE VERSION: I've only watched part of "The Goonies" once in grade school a very long time ago, so I'm open to any suggestions for a better Goonies-inspired kit

You got it with the Prineville home kit edits: I didn't know T2 was going through a rebrand, I'm excited to see what they do. I'm glad you liked the Hillsboro team, I had a really good time putting that one together! Thanks so much for these kind words, I'm really glad you're enjoying the leagues!!! Researching the local details for these teams really helps me learn about my new surroundings, and inspiration is definitely everywhere! --- I know the Central Division is disproportionally represented (the fifth team!) in the first 15 teams of this league, but several trips to Newport in the past week have given me plenty of inspiration and motivation for this next team... Central Division Yaquina Bay SC Newport, Oregon Championships: 0 DETAILS:

Northwest Division Hillsboro Semiconductor SC Hillsboro, Oregon Championships: 2 DETAILS:

Aw man! That'll be quite the smelly (or flavorful) matchup! I didn't add red to the collars for the Marion home kit because it would've overlapped with the sash border; the bit about the purple outline was definitely intentional, and I'm happy you caught that! The tasty designs are definitely fun to make, and there will still be some more down the road! These are extremely helpful suggestions, and I'll be sure to look into all of these for the remaining Lane County teams. Thank you very much! (On a side note, Ninkasi was definitely one of the places I applied to during my recent job search ) --- Staying east of the Cascades for just a little bit longer for this next team! East Division Prineville 1870 Prineville, Oregon Championships: 0 DETAILS:

Thank you so much! I actually got the inspiration for these hyper-specific state leagues from @-kj's 2015 League du Nord series! After seeing the cool work he did for Minnesota teams, I went ahead to make teams in California and now Oregon Seeing you're from Eugene, is there anything you would like to see for Lane County's three remaining teams? I have a Simpsons theme in mind for Springfield, but I'm wondering if you have any [non track-related] ideas for Eugene and for Cottage Grove. Any ideas would be very appreciated! Thanks so much y'all! I'm glad that I was able to accurately capture the style of Latin American soccer design with Woodburn's team --- Happy New Year everyone! My first design of 2023 is a trip all the way to the Idaho border for The Oregon League's easternmost team: East Division Ontario SC Ontario, Oregon Championships: 0 DETAILS: A big shoutout to @-kj's onion-themed Eagan FC team for helping shape Ontario's look

Thanks so much!!! Thank you, I really appreciate it! The Gorge's home kit did originally have the green stripe continue below the numbers (like Salem's clash), but I decided against it. I went ahead and tweaked the back of the home kit so that it flairs outward now: --- Completed Salem's geographic rival as my last design in 2022, but didn't have time to post it here until now! Central Division Club Atlético Marion Woodburn, Oregon Championships: 1 DETAILS:

As promised, here's a revised Linn County with a full filbert in the roundel! I decided to keep the sleeve stripes as-is to remain consistent with the crest, though --- Central Division Salem SC Salem, Oregon Championships: 0 DETAILS: A big shoutout to Salem native @upperV03 for suggesting the cherry blossom theme for this one! --- The disclaimer on this Nike concept is a good time to announce that since the end of November, I've been working as a graphic design contractor at Nike's Beaverton headquarters! I'm currently making training materials for Footwear engineers, but I'm hoping that I'll be able to get into Global Football making kits for real!

Thanks so much! I've been a huge fan of Tillamook's packaging and branding ever since its rebranding a few years back, so I'm glad I finally get to "work" with it a little bit I ran into the Oregon Encyclopedia a while back, and it's proven to be a useful research tool alongside Wikipedia! I was just curious because I thought you were a Harney County local with some insider knowledge Oregon's been very pleasant! California will always have a special place in my heart, but I've really enjoyed the slower pace of life in Oregon, and I ended up getting my foot in the door as a Nike contractor I've made the minor edits to the collar plackets that you've brought up. I decided to scrap Portland SC's banner entirely as I feel like a team of that caliber has an iconic enough crest to do without the banner (though putting "SC" on the lower-right of the "P" was part of my original sketches!). As for Portland's home socks, I think I'll just keep the socks white because of how minor yellow is in its branding. I'm glad you enjoyed Florence and Oregon City's teams! You're totally right about End of the Trail's home kit having a white back, it does look better! I went ahead and switched the colors of the shorts and socks to better complement the predominantly-white top I'll work on Linn County's crest edits for the next post so I can give my poor laptop (I'm currently home in California for the holidays) a break I'm excited to have you along for this one, and thanks for the detailed feedback as always! --- North Division Gorge Athletic Hood River, Oregon Championships: 0 DETAILS:

We'll get there soon enough! I do realize I should start working on more teams east of the Cascades In the meantime, do you have any suggestions for what I should include for Harney County's team? I haven't quite started my research there yet Love the dramatic fans, and Linn County will definitely play on local grass! I personally don't plan on putting these into Football Manager (I've never actually used that, myself), but it would be cool if someone's willing to do that! --- Northwest Division Tillamook County United Tillamook, Oregon Championships: 0 DETAILS:

Central Division Linn County Wanderers Albany/Lebanon, Oregon Championships: 0 DETAILS:

I'm sure they get tired of that one --- South Division Ashland Town Ashland, Oregon Championships: 1 DETAILS:

Hehe, it was inevitable Thanks so much! I've been on these boards the whole time, just over on the General Design forum as I went through my license plate redesigns Frankly, I probably won't have the personal interest to do leagues for all 50 states (I'm more interested in places that are closer to me and states I've been to). Some designers on here have done leagues for other states though, and those will suffice Thanks so much dude! I never realized that Eugene would end up having so many good visual references from its track scene Thanks so much! Hopefully you'll learn a few things about Oregon from this series --- North Division End of the Trail SC Oregon City, Oregon Championships: 0 DETAILS:
