jaha32 Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share Posted December 31, 2021 I'll get back to the finishing up the Crocodiles but for now here is the next team. The New York Empire. I have posted an earlier version of this logo on my Behance page quite a few years ago, but I've since simplified it in a few areas in this update. It's pretty self-explanatory - New York is the Empire State and the logo features the Empire State Building. It's somewhat similar to the Knicks in that you're looking upward at the 3D block lettering. 13 Quote DesignsByHahn.com Behance Dribbble Instragram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megildur Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I've been following along on this for a bit now, but only now getting time to comment. I love that all the teams are originals and you have a clear style of logo and uniform design throughout, which is impressive too. I'd have to say my favorites are Houston and New York so far. 1 Quote United Baseball Association | the MLB Ferris Wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for following. I try to come up with original looks for each team logo, and a mix of new and traditional looking jerseys, so I’m glad you noticed.

I wanted to give them a clean uniform with their own distinctive side striping. The next team will be in Texas. 2 Quote DesignsByHahn.com Behance Dribbble Instragram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomba Tomba Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I have nothing to point out about this, but maybe because it's so clean. My second favorite look so far. 1 Quote If you read on the card you'll be cheating on your heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaha32 Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 Reintroducing the Crocs as the South Florida Crocodiles. I went with Clutchy's suggestion to go with "South Florida" as the location. It almost sound like a college name which I like because it adds some variety to the league. And I like using state names from time to time just to mix things up. Since it's Crocs over Gators, I went back to the "C" in the logo. It looks more memorable than an oval. The inline in the "C" is gone based on scottyeagle's comment and I agree it does look cleaner. 6 Quote DesignsByHahn.com Behance Dribbble Instragram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cLuTcHy Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 That’s amazing man! Exactly how I envisioned it to! I agree that it creates diversity within the league. I like how you made the “South” on the home jerseys black so it pops out. One thing I love about professional sports in Florida is that all 4 of the major sports leagues have at least 2 teams in Florida meaning we always have an in state rivalry going on so I’m glad that’s expressed in this league as well.

Thank you! I hadn’t originally planned to put two teams in Florida but it is the third most populous state so it works out just fine. California and Texas are the other states that’ll have in-state rivalries in this league.

jaha32 Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 Next up is the Texas Toros. I wanted to differentiate this bull from other bull logos of a similar composition so I started with the white letter "T" which also form the horns, and then built the bulls face around it. Texas is of course the Lone Star State so there's a star in the middle which also helps form the brow around the eyes. The colors are a toned-down version of the Spurs fiesta colors (so black, teal, and gray minus the orange or pink). However I haven't decided if this team would play is San Antonio or Dallas. There is an alt logo of a simple T+star which appears on each side of the shorts - one side for Texas the other for Toros. 12 Quote DesignsByHahn.com Behance Dribbble Instragram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaha32 Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 Making our way to the upper midwest with the next team - the Minneapolis Owls. Most of this owl is derived from a previous bird logo I made from the EBA series. The black jersey reading "MPLS" is inspired by the Lakers throwback jerseys, and I like how the words "OWLS" and 'MPLS" take up the exact same space on both sets. The colors are meant to feel cold and dark, like the Minnesota wilderness. 9 Quote DesignsByHahn.com Behance Dribbble Instragram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaha32 Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 I've gone back and added a second version of the owl where I simply tilted the angle so it's descending at a downward angle rather than horizontal . I felt it makes the owl more aggressive and also centers the wing. Which version is better, or does it make no difference?

Bomba Tomba Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Tilted for me. Also dunno if that's your intention but they kinda look like the Magic Quote If you read on the card you'll be cheating on your heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilSox Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Yeah, the Blackbirds. That was the first thing I saw when I saw your logo. Although I agree with you on the Sharks. Selfishly, I hope Milwaukee will eventually be part of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being originally from Wisconsin myself I had thought about putting a team in Milwaukee (or even Green Bay just for fun despite it being a smaller city) but don’t have any logo made that would be specific to the area. I do have a logo made for a team called the Bees which needs a home city yet. I was brainstorming locations and could add Milwaukee to the list. Not sure, would it fit Milwaukee? -Buffalo Bees -Carolina Bees (it could be a takeoff of the Charlotte Hornets) -Milwaukee Bees -Nashville/Memphis Bees -or some other city 1 Quote DesignsByHahn.com Behance Dribbble Instragram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cLuTcHy Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I also think your old Birmingham Bees from the EBA were pretty fire though. Not sure what your opinion is on having a team in Bama this time around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilSox Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I guess Bees would fit Milwaukee's tendency for its teams nicknames to start with B, but I feel like calling them anything but the Hops would be a missed opportunity. The only other places in Wisconsin I could see having a team are Racine or Kenosha, since there's not much of a basketball culture in other parts of the state. It also happens that the Racine Bells who you might know from A League Of Their Own had a beehive on their emblem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
