Hey everyone, A while back I started a discussion in the General Sports Logos forum on which MLB teams could most use redesigns and new color schemes. It sparked the idea that a few teams with older/outdated designs could look to local college baseball teams for design inspiration. For this mini series, I'll be focusing on a small group of teams, maybe four or five. Let's start today with the Angels! ANGELS HOME: ANGELS ROAD: ANGELS HOME ALT: ANGELS HOME/ROAD ALT: For the Angels, I've used the Trojans of the University of Southern California as inspiration. The Halos adopt a deep crimson red and athletic gold scheme, a color combo I've long felt would work well for them. The cursive "Angels" script is a tweak of the original Lakers script from the early '60s. No unnecessary outlines or drop shadows. Just keep it simple. I've also brought back the early "CA" monogram. C&C appreciated! The Rangers are next.

There are so many good ones and many that use baseball-only logos. One of my favorites is Miami's. Classic

Hello all, With baseball season underway I have decided to create a concept for the Providence College Friars. Providence College is a tiny Division 1 school in Providence, Rhode Island, and they do not have a baseball team. It was dropped in 1999 and has not been brought back. Now to the jerseys and field! A big thanks goes out to Raysox for letting me use his great baseball template. For the home jerseys I went with black sleeves and a pinstriped body. The hat features a black base with white panels in the front. The away jersey is pretty ordinary for a baseball jersey. It is gray and features the Providence word mark on the front. The field, Hasbro Field, is named after the toy company that is based in Providence. It is geared towards left handed hitters (like Yankee Stadium), as right and right center are shorter than left and left center, and features a deep left center field wall which is the farthest in the park. C&C is appreciated as always.

I start this topic today as the coverage of College Baseball just got a whole lot better with today's launch of D1Baseball.com. They took this website, which previously was the only website to get updated scores from, hired the top College Baseball writers (Aaron Fitt from Baseball America and Kendall Rodgers from Perfect Game are the two leading writers), and made it the premier website for College Baseball. It even has a newly launched forum only for College Baseball. The site launched its own Top 25 rankings this morning also: 1 Vanderbilt 51-21 SEC 2 Florida 40-23 SEC 3 Virginia 53-16 ACC 4 UCLA 25-30 Pac-12 5 South Carolina 44-18 SEC 6 North Carolina 35-27 ACC 7 Houston 48-18 American 8 TCU 48-18 Big 12 9 LSU 46-16 SEC 10 Texas 46-21 Big 12 11 Louisville 50-17 ACC 12 Oklahoma State 48-18 Big 12 13 Rice 42-20 C-USA 14 Maryland 40-23 Big Ten 15 Miami 44-19 ACC 16 Texas Tech 45-21 Big 12 17 Texas A&M 36-26 SEC 18 Ole Miss 48-21 SEC 19 Cal State Fullerton 34-24 Big West 20 Alabama 37-24 SEC 21 Florida State 43-17 ACC 22 Oregon 44-20 Pac-12 23 Nebraska 41-21 Big Ten 24 Arizona State 33-24 Pac-12 25 Tennessee 31-23 SEC 26-30, in alphabetical order: Arkansas Cal Poly Clemson College of Charleston Mississippi State. My inital recation is that it looks pretty good for preseason rankings. I'd have UCLA and Texas A&M lower, and Arkansas and Mississippi State (#Bias) higher. For reference, this was the Collegiate Baseball preseason ranking released last month (note the puzzling absence of Ole Miss): 1 Vanderbilt 51-21 494 2 TCU 48-18 492 3 Virginia 53-16 489 4 LSU 46-16-1 487 5 Oklahoma State 48-18 485 6 Florida 40-23 483 7 Texas 46-21 480 8 Houston 48-18 479 9 Texas Tech 45-21 477 10 UCLA 25-30-1 473 11 Florida State 43-17 469 12 Louisville 50-17 468 13 Cal Poly 47-12 467 14 Miami (Fla.) 44-19 465 15 Oregon 44-20 462 16 UC Santa Barbara 34-17-1 460 17 Cal State Fullerton 34-24 458 18 Stanford 35-26 457 19 Arizona State 33-24 454 20 Mississippi State 39-24 452 21 South Carolina 44-18 449 22 Rice 42-20 446 23 Liberty 41-18 445 24 North Carolina 35-27 443 25 College of Charleston 44-19 440 26 Georgia Tech 37-27 438 27 Kennesaw State 40-24 436 28 Clemson 36-25 432 29 St. John's 35-20 430 30 Kent State 36-23 427 31 Ball State 39-18 425 32 Wichita State 31-28 424 33 Tennessee 31-23 421 34 San Diego 34-20 419 35 Loyola Marymount 32-24 417 36 Arkansas 40-25 414 37 Maryland 40-23 412 38 Nebraska 41-21 411 39 UC Irvine 41-25 409 40 Illinois 32-21 405
