  1. To wrap up the basketball series, we take you to the women's game, where Kansas City for a short period of time (1994-1995) had a team known as the Kansas City Mustangs who were a member of the Women's Basketball Association (WBA), the first ever Women's basketball league in the United States, the WBA predated the WNBA by 4 years (WNBA was founded in 1997). Nearly 30 years later, in this concept series the WBA's Kansas City Mustangs are revived as a potential WNBA expansion franchise BRANDING For the mascot, I didn't specify too much outside of having a mustang and the artist I commissioned designed a shield featuring a majestic mustang with a multicolored cyan and white basketball. The color scheme I chose was purple, cyan, and white and the font used for the scripts, insignias, and jersey numbers was Fatal Distraction. EXTRA SCRIPTS & INSIGNIAS Here are the extra home & away scripts I put together, (I once again couldn't put all the extra away scripts on one slide again) And here the rest of the road scripts, the extra insignias and the all-white full script logo. HOME COURT The WNBA Mustangs would play home games at T-Mobile Center, I decided to also slap together some new on-court sponsors to differentiate it from the NBA courts. UNIFORMS For the uniforms I put a together a 4-piece set with a white home, a purple away, a cyan alternate and a black alternate. I chose Casey's General Store as the jersey sponsor as those are fairly common around both Missouri and Kansas.
  2. To continue to stretch of minor-league basketball teams, we have the Kansas City Tornadoes of the The Basketball League (TBL) they only played two seasons (2018 and 2019) in the HyVee Arena, which is more famously known as the Kemper Arena right across the Missouri-Kansas stateline in Kansas City. BRANDING For the mascot, I told the artist I commissioned to draw a basketball swirling in a tornado as that seemed like the most obvious route, the color scheme is a standard light blue and red, which is what the Tornadoes had during their short tenure, the font used for the wordmarks was Tarrget Italic and the font used for the insignias and jersey numbers was Tarrget Condensed. EXTRA SCRIPT LOGOS Here are all of the script logos I made, they're all noticeably super long because "Tornadoes" is kind of a long nickname for a team EXTRA INSIGNIAS And here are the extra insignias I put together HOME COURT The home court for the Tornadoes features a white outline and blue and red "keys" with the HyVee Arena logos on the sides. UNIFORMS For the Tornadoes, I put together a 4-piece uniform set, a white home, a blue away, a red alternate, and a "storm grey" alternate.
  3. San Antonio will be my first vote
  4. Happy New Year, SportsLogos.net! And to kick off the New Year, I have a redesign of Kansas City's current ABA franchise that has been active since 2018, the Kansas City Grillers who get a massive facelift in this part of the series. BRANDING For the logo, I asked the artist to make a basketball-shaped sirloin steak, I went with a color scheme consisting of a dark reddish brown, a super dark brown, salmon pink, and white. The font used for the wordmarks, insignias, and jersey numbers was Snappy Service. EXTRA HOME SCRIPTS & ROAD SCRIPTS PT. I There was a lot of wordmarks I made for this one, with the remainder of the road wordmarks being contained on the next slide EXTRA ROAD SCRIPTS PT. II & INSIGNIAS And here are the rest of the road wordmarks I put together, and the extra insignias. HOME COURT On to the home court, the current-day ABA Grillers do play their home games inside the HyVee Arena (formerly known as Kemper Arena) right near the Kansas-Missouri stateline. UNIFORMS I assembled together a 5-piece uniform set, with some "grill puns" for the dark brown and salmon pink alternates.
  5. Before the American Association's Kansas City Blues, but shortly after the Western League's Kansas City Cowboys/Blues left for Washington D.C. to become the first incarnation of the Washington Senators. In 1902, a new Single-A team in the Western League was formed known as the Kansas City Blue Stockings that only played two seasons in 1902 and 1903, before folding and the much more popular Triple-A Kansas City Blues of the American Association took over. This part of the series modernizes the Blue Stockings with a thorough name change to "Blue Sox" and had the Blue Sox stuck around towards the modern day they likely would've moved up through the Double-A and Triple-A ranks. BRANDING For the "mascot" I had the artist commission a pair of blue plaid socks with a black and white pattern, the emblem logo does bare a resemblance to the Red Sox's primary logo, the font used for the scripts was "Fraga Script" EXTRA SCRIPT LOGOS & CAP LOGO There wasn't as many extra script/cap logos as some of the other concepts in this series, so everything just kinda fits on one slide here. UNIFORMS For the uniforms I put together a 4-piece set with a standard home and away, a blue home alternate and a black away alternate.
  6. @Silent Wind of Doom Could you add the Kansas football Jayhawks' 2023 Guaranteed Rate Bowl trophy to my signature?
  7. I've been waiting to get to this one for a long time now, but it's finally here! The baseball section of this concept series resumes with a revival of the American Association's Kansas City Blues, a minor-league baseball franchise that got it's start in 1902 as a Single-A team that was a successor of the Western League's Kansas City Cowboys/Blues who eventually became the first incarnation of the Washington Senators, who are now known as the Minnesota Twins. In 1908, the Kansas City Blues moved up from Single-A to Double-A and then in 1946 they moved up to Triple-A which is where they would remain for the rest of their existence. The Blues didn't become officially affiliated with a Major League club until 1935 when they were briefly affiliated with the Pittsburgh Pirates for one season until the next year they became affiliates with the New York Yankees from 1936 to 1954. In 1955, Kansas City received its first Major League Baseball franchise with the help of the Philadelphia Athletics moving to Kansas City, Missouri, the Kansas City Blues moved to Denver and became the Denver Bears, changed their name to the Zephyrs in 1984, sooner than later Denver got their own MLB franchise via expansion in the Colorado Rockies, and the Zephyrs packed their bags to New Orleans in 1993, they had a very interesting name change to "Baby Cakes" in 2017, before moving to their current location in Wichita, Kansas as the Wichita Wind Surge in 2020 and are currently affiliated with the Minnesota Twins, with both former Kansas City minor-league teams connecting themselves in relation to the modern-day Twins. This concept explores the alternate reality where Kansas City never gets a Major League Baseball franchise and is stuck with the Kansas City Blues who are still the Triple-A affiliates of the New York Yankees, albeit now in the Pacific Coast League after the American Association folded in 1998. BRANDING For the mascot, I commissioned a smiling baseball wearing shades and a fedora, the color scheme is pretty much the Yankees' default color scheme, the Blues keep their iconic cap logo with navy and silver plastered over it, the font used for the script logos was Largelake. EXTRA HOME SCRIPTS & ROAD SCRIPTS Here are the home and away script logos I assembled EXTRA CAP LOGOS And here are the extra cap logos, I put together UNIFORMS For the Blues, I went with a standard 4-piece uniform set, I had the home and away jerseys replicate the New York Yankees' home and away jerseys with the home uniform having the iconic pinstripes and a bold version of the Blues cap logo in the top right of the torso, the away jersey has a road script logo instead of the arched lettering that the Yankees road uniform actually has. And as for alternates, I did a standard home uniform for the home alternate, and a navy alternate for a second away jersey, both alternate sets have the Blues mascot on the ballcaps.
  8. The team name "Kansas City Knights" is also the default name for the Kansas City-based expansion team in the NBA 2K games, since the option to expand the league was added in NBA 2K17's MyLEAGUE mode. So as a bonus, I took the logo I commissioned for the revived ABA Knights and mashed it with the color scheme of NBA 2K's Knights. BRANDING The color scheme used in NBA 2K's Knights is a very interesting mix of dark violet, red, silver, and white. For the logo I decided to de-prioritize silver and have red be the secondary color as shown on the basketball. EXTRA SCRIPTS & INSIGNIAS Had some trouble getting a couple of the extra script logos onto one slide like the original concept, So I had to move them over to the extra insignias slide. HOME COURT And here's the NBA-styled home court for the Knights, as this would be a slam-dunk name for a KC expansion/relocation team, playing home games at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri. UNIFORMS And here are the Knights uniforms recolored and redesigned to fit the NBA standard, the jersey and court sponsors are reused from my Dreamers concept a while back.
  9. After a long pause, the "Into the 816-Verse" series resumes with a revival of the ABA's Kansas City Knights who played from 2000 to 2005, It is worth noting that this American Basketball Association (ABA) formed in 2000, is an independent minor-league basketball league that has no relation to the original ABA (1967-1976) that merged and became apart of the modern NBA. BRANDING For the logo I had the artist I commissioned have a medieval knight stab a sword through a multi-colored basketball, a modern refresh of the Knights' original logo used in the 2000s. The font used for the wordmarks, insignias, and jersey numbers is Medieval Times. EXTRA SCRIPTS & INSIGNIAS And here are all the extra wordmarks and insignias I put together, there's also a white outline version of the mascot logo. HOME COURT The Knights played most of their home games inside what is now HyVee Arena (although it's more famously known as the Kemper Arena) which sits right near the Missouri-Kansas stateline in Kansas City, Missouri. UNIFORMS As for uniforms, I put together a 4-piece set with a white home, a purple away uniform, and a silver and black alternate uniform.
  10. A team in a non-NFL market based in the Great Plains could be added (Omaha, Wichita, Des Moines, Oklahoma City, Tulsa)
  11. I believe the Northwest Arkansas Naturals (AA) of the Texas League should be getting new uniforms or a brand new logo revealed at 12PM CST today.

    MLB MULTIVERSE

    Would you just print the St. Louis Browns jersey with a different nickname or just sell the road jerseys?
  13. That would be interesting to have two major sports teams in Kansas City vaguely named after Native Americans.
  14. For sure, but many other Kansas City baseball teams have used similar looking cap logos before so that could be the Monarchs, but it could have another name as well.
  15. Wonder what team is playing in KC with a dark navy and red color scheme?
  16. Now on to Negro League Team #3!, The Kansas City Maroons were Kansas City's first ever Negro Leagues baseball franchise that played from 1887 to 1890. BRANDING The font used for the main/cap logo was Slabzone, and the font used for the home and road scripts was Ederson. I went with a very-on-the-nose maroon and silver color scheme for the Maroons. EXTRA HOME SCRIPTS/AWAY SCRIPTS Here are the other home scripts I assembled, and half of the road scripts, as I couldn't get all of the road script logos onto one page. EXTRA AWAY SCRIPTS/CAP LOGOS And here are the rest of the away scripts I put together, as well as the extra cap logos. UNIFORMS For the uniforms, I went with a very basic home and away set, and only a monocolor maroon home and away alternate jerseys, because a silver alternate jersey just wouldn't work of course.
