Blindsay

Thanks dude I really appreciate the feedback. With the old Ai, the ability for me to give it a general idea was a little thin. Just a general color. Like you see how Janky the old ones were. The New AI allows me to get more of a general idea of a team. Makes it more streamlined, professional. Because lemme tell you I am no artist. I’ve been wanting to share my creativity for a while now but just wasn’t sure how. Sometimes when I get a name I’m unsure on how I want it to go I.E, you’ll see that when I get to the Portland Rippers. I went in logo first and now I got a good idea of what I want the mascot to be, where I want to go. With Baltimore I decided on Claws because Crabs= Maryland but AI saw it and thought Cats at First. Which is where Balti and Mo Came from. But sometimes I have a good idea going in, like with the Dallas Machines, the next team on the list. I decided that the best thing for the logo and mascot would be a Mechanical Horse. Another future team, the Vegas Sting was a Blindsay original actually. Harkens back to the days where I would draw on paper in elementary school thinking of NBA Expansion Team ideas ( for reference I’m 17). I remember the logo idea clearly. Scorpion Tail over a Basketball. I am a kid with ideas firing off like a machine gun. Simple as that. Wish my hands coulda kept up but unfortunately they could not. My plan was to eventually team up with someone with better drawing skills than I do to do these kinds of projects, and now that AI is here, I can get that on demand with a little bit of patience. It even feels like I’m communicating the way I would with a human artist ( This may sound nuts) at times. Because it’s sort of a conversation like ‘ Alright let’s see if you can cook with what I’m giving you’ ‘mmmm so close but the text…’ ‘Hold on I can just edit this one and that’s the look etc etc. ‘. I could honestly go into the process but I’d be partially repeating myself. And finally I just want to be unique out there. These are just uniform concepts at the end of the Day, and the AI is there to supply sort of an identity to make it feel whole. Also (no offense to the incredibly creative souls working on baseball concepts) the general baseball concept slate around here has just been rethinking what’s already there or what could’ve been with existing identites (again nothing wrong with that, y’all are great, I might do something with the Inseason Tourney Courts one day {all mine, promise}) But I want to be the one to change the culture, the stigma about AI( even though tbf I’m mildly terrified that Deepfake AI thing taking over) Just because a robot is doing the work doesn’t mean that you can’t use it as a tool. I want Humans and AI to be that handshake meme with the muscles, not too reliant on one or the other. Balance Sorry for the essay, once again thanks for replying, and about the image quality, yeah I’m probably gonna have to use computer Screenshots…

Uhh guys? Am I doing something wrong? Because for these past few concepts and updates. I’ve been experiencing… apathy. No comments, no encouragement, no criticism.. no likes no dislikes.. Is it the AI that’s turning y’all away? Because y’all can still tell me what you want to see or how the logo is edited, I mean it’s happened before But now doing these concepts seems like I’m just throwing ideas into the nether… I mean these are my first sets of concepts here… Can y’all please help and let me know if I’m doing this all for nothing? Should I keep doing this? Should I change? Anything? Please?

Hope y’all are hungry! I’m in the kitchen cooking for this one: CHICAGO BITES I thought of this name for a couple of reasons: 1: Chicago’s rich food culture 2: the Baseball Teams do NOT matchup with the other Chicago Teams’ CBness. We got the Bears, Blackhawks, Bulls and now Bites Also special bonus: THREE LOGOS! When you think about it, the Bites are like the multifaceted creative unique teenager amongst its family of classical traditionalist Chicago Sports Brand Identities STADIUM: GOLDEN ARCHES PARK MASCOTS: CHOMPY THE TREX & RACING FOOD UNIFORMS: HOME( DEEP DISH PIZZA) AWAY(BURGER) ALTERNATE(HOT DOG) Any feedback is appreciated as always

Next team time! CHARLOTTE ROYALES Another team that was almost snubbed but now exist thanks to that OOTP Update Note the absolute REGALITY of the purple and gold, with the touch of Charlotte blue on top. STADIUM: LOWE’S PARK MASCOT: JOE THE KING PENGUIN: UNIFORMS: HOME: AWAY: AWAY ALT: CITY CONNECT:

The placement of the Bulls Logo seems a little... off. Better than what we got though. Give Tom my congrats

Alright if you look through what I had posted again, the Minor League Teams are gone for now. A little too much, though they’re probably gonna get their own thread after this. Also New Name for the Thread, New League Name! The IBL’s logo takes Inspiration from every country that plays in it. Stars from the US, Rising Sun from Japan, the Crown from the UK, and the Eagle from Mexico. All into one glorious Smorgasbord

Twolves!

New Team Alert! We got the BALTIMORE CLAWS You’re wondering why the colors are Yellow and Black? Baltimore Flag! STADIUM: MARRIOTT STADIUM Whenever I make a stadium name , I usually go with the local company there. But if you guys ever feel like a certain team deserves a non corporate ballpark name, let me know! MASCOTS: Balti the Cat and Mo the Crab! These names I came up with myself. The others were all Ai but I feel like with a name like Claws, 2 animals come to mind. Obviously I went with Crabs for the logo and cap as you’ll see in a minute because Baltimore, but having a Cat in there seems right. UNIFORMS: BTW Local Company Under Armour produces these uniforms. Also I rigged up a makeshift cap logo using a C and L in the Main Text that you see here. Clever I know. HOME: AWAY: CITY CONNECT: It’s the Maryland Flag because of course it is RAVENS NIGHT:

I used to mainly use Stablediffusionai.ai but now it's the Bing AI you may have seen used on NBA twitter.

Quick update: We have New Aviators Jerseys, and every team’s Major League logo(except for Cleveland), Mascot(Joe’s getting his update soon) and stadium is updated thanks to Bing AI. The Minor League Logos will get fixed later though. A lot happened to this project. I made a big mistake by not having a backup to my saved game when OOTP updated so I had to make changes when I made a new save. The next team, the Baltimore Claws, weren’t even supposed to exist. Going back to the drawing board on the teams that I haven’t started because I forgot some of their names was tough. I added new international teams in Tokyo and London, moved some teams around to where it makes sense, added teams that initially got snubbed etc etc. The next team was supposed to be the Columbus Explorers, but I decided they should be in Houston as Ol Christopher’s name is pretty much in the mud and if they existed in real life, they’d get some Cleveland-level ire. THE SERIES IS STILL ALIVE!

Now this right here is some of your best work! Perhaps reverse the smoke and black? Also I have a feeling you got a lot of content to work with now that the Inseason Tourney Courts dropped

Idk man. The text is nice, Simplistic, yet a little plain at the same time… perhaps use turn the Cape Cod image on its side and make it the L?

Good logo, but the quality of the image is a little crusty… of course who am I to talk about crusty looking images..

Ok Finally, the next team is here… CLEVELAND MUSKETEERS (the logo here is so perfect it doesn’t need the Bing AI) Funnily enough on OOTP, the Musketeers logo matches the Cavs’ old scheme so I went with it. STADIUM: FIRSTENERGY FIELD MASCOT: JOE THE MUSKY UNIFORMS: HOME: AWAY: HOME ALT: AWAY ALT: CAVS NIGHT: BROWNS NIGHT:

Any day in Ohio is a gamble...

Ah yes , we’re around my stomping grounds with the BROOKLYN BEATS (what? Me steal from Madden? Never….. well EA’s customer service has been so bad these days they kinda deserve it…) STADIUM: EBBETS TO ETSY FIELD MASCOT: RHYTHM THE ROBOT UNIFORMS: HOME: AWAY: NETS NIGHT: Better Look at the Caps:

Holy hell you weren’t kidding

Since you're pretty much the only one here, do you want option 2 or 3

Montreal’s font is a little too wordy, and perhaps could use a French translation underneath the English. I like how The crown looks nice and snug on the N for North Bay

Boston Accent: It’s time fowh tha hub team evehyone BOSTON REDHAWKS I wish I was kidding when I said OOTP came up with this straight out of the gate, no editing or nothing. So I just rolled with it. UNIFORMS: HOME: AWAY: BOSTON PRIDE: Alright quick explanation on this potential assault on the eyes. Boston Flag Colors, NE Pats Navy in the swoosh, Celtics Green, Bruins Gold and RedHawks Red everywhere else. MASCOT: RORY THE RED HAWK STADIUM: TD Ballpark ( Bing AI heard Boston and Ballpark and gave em all a Green Monster)

Great minds think alike I see

Gotcha. Here’s Cabo’s and since the logo would look Off Balanced with one of em gone, that Nukes Option one correct?

Alright Time for Team 2! From The Sands of Tijuana… THE BAJA BREWERS! STADIUM: ESTADIO TELEVISA MASCOT: CHAVA UNIFORMS: Home: Away: Mexican Pride:

First of all I made a new rule for this league that the Minor League Affiliates of these teams has to have around the same color scheme as their Major League Counterpart, and typing Red and Blue in the AI Generator alone wasn’t gonna cut it so here are the Aviators’ Affiliates with newly edited colors to match their parent

The Logo I created( the ATL Script on the caps) Is that logo Moonhhawks no more!
