His large wings span wide and are a mix of deep red and golden tones, resembling the burning flames of a Phoenix. With sharp talons and piercing golden eyes, Helios exudes a sense of strength and power.

Helios' backstory is tied to the very origins of the Phoenix team. Legend has it that when the team was first formed, they were struggling to come up with a unique identity and mascot.

The team knew it was a sign and decided to name him Helios, in honor of his blazing entrance.

As a Phoenix, Helios is a mythical creature with the ability to rise from the ashes and be reborn, making him the perfect representation of the team's resilience and determination. He is also known for his speed and agility, traits that are reflected in the team's gameplay. Whenever the team is facing a tough opponent or in need of a boost, Helios is there to rally them with his fiery spirit.

Known for its ability to rise from the ashes, the Phoenix symbolizes strength, endurance, and courage. The team couldn't have asked for a more fitting creature to represent their values and spirit.

Helios’ jersey number, naturally, is 00, symbolizing his eternal youth and rebirth. It also represents the infinite possibilities and potential of the team. As the mascot of the Phoenix Phoenix Baseball Team, Helios is not just a symbol but a beloved member of the team, loved by players and fans alike.

STADIUM: DICK’S SPORTING DOME

Spoiler

 

Dick's Sporting Dome is an impressive structure that dominates the Pittsburgh city skyline. Standing at a staggering 39,600 seats, it is the ultimate destination for baseball fans in the Steel City. The dome-shaped roof, made of reinforced steel and glass, glistens in the sunlight, reflecting off the nearby river. As you approach the entrance, you are greeted by a massive bronze statue of a baseball player, signaling the long history and love for the sport that is housed within its walls. But this dome is more than just a stadium, it's a symbol of resilience and determination for the Pittsburgh Iron Baseball Team.

Back in the early 2000s, the city of Pittsburgh was facing an economic downturn, and the beloved baseball team, the Pittsburgh Iron, was in danger of relocating due to financial struggles. However, Dick Richards, a wealthy businessman and avid baseball fan, stepped in to save the day. He funded the construction of a state-of-the-art domed ballpark to not only keep the team in Pittsburgh but also to revitalize the city.

As a result, Dick's Dome was born, and it quickly became a beloved landmark for the city. The dome's exterior features a sleek and modern design, with curved edges and intricate patterns etched into the steel. As you step inside, the first thing that catches your eye is the massive LED screen that wraps around the entire circumference of the dome, displaying game statistics and highlights in real-time. The seating area is divided into three levels, with each level offering excellent views of the field.

But what truly sets Dick's Dome apart from other ballparks is its retractable roof. With just a push of a button, the roof can open up, allowing for an open-air feel to the game on beautiful summer days. The roof also serves a practical purpose, shielding fans from the unpredictable Pittsburgh weather and ensuring that games can go on rain or shine.

There are also some unique quirks and features within the dome that have become fan favorites. For one, there is a small section of seats known as the 'Iron Fan Zone,' where die-hard fans can sit right behind the team's dugout, giving them an up-close and personal view of the action. Another feature that sets Dick's Dome apart is the 'Iron Wall' located in center field. This wall is made up of actual iron from Pittsburgh's steel mills, paying homage to the city's industrial roots.

But the real magic of Dick's Dome lies in its atmosphere. The energy and excitement of the fans are palpable, and the sound of cheering and clapping becomes deafening when the Iron hits a home run. The stadium also hosts a variety of events throughout the year, from concerts to cook-offs, making it a hub for community gatherings.

Dick's Dome is more than just a domed ballpark; it’s a testament to the resilience and passion of Pittsburgh and its love affair with the Iron Baseball Team. It has become a beloved meeting place for families, friends, and strangers alike, all united by their love for the game.

Nice work on those most recent designs! I am really digging the Portland Rippers name and logo, but for some reason I just get more of a baseball team vibe from the Cyclers (which also has a nice look to it). Either of those will serve you well I think.

It’s got the color scheme of the famous Keep Portland Weird Slogan, and what’s more weird than a baseball with bulging eyes?

i like the weird, although the rippers is cool. you could also use weird for Austin if you have a team there & havent already got a name. as their city slogan is keep austin weird

@Wildcomet With the added name, does that change your vote at all?

On one hand, the Weird doesn't really feel like it fits that well with the rest of the league (not many other "Non-S ending" names, that kind of thing) whereas I feel Rippers or Cyclers does moreso... that said, if any team was to be the league 'weirdo', what better than for it to be a team called the Weird. 

 

I think ultimately I'd still vote for the Cyclers first. It feels like the best marriage of fitting the city, the sport, and the league, while also looking nice on its own. The others are solid concepts, and that Rippers logo is the start of a cool identity for a team of some sort (honestly I may "borrow" the name and see what I can do with it someday if you don't mind lol), but I think the Cyclers takes it for me.

A majestic, evergreen Douglas Fir with a heart of gold, P.J. stands tall and proud at a whopping 7-feet, adorned with a custom-made, green jersey sporting the Pines’ iconic 'P' logo and the number 21, a nod to the year the team was founded. His roots, firmly planted in the heart of the Cascade Mountains, run deep, just like his love for the game. P.J.'s journey to the ballpark is one of resilience and determination. He started as a tiny sapling, braving harsh winters and scorching summers, growing taller and stronger with each passing season.

THE SAN ANTONIO COPPERHEADS!

MASCOT: SLITHER

 

Spoiler

The mascot of the San Antonio Copperheads baseball team is a vibrant and charismatic character known as 'Slither.' As his name suggests, Slither is a snake-like creature with a long, slim body covered in shiny copper scales. His head is topped with a copper colored baseball cap, and his bright green eyes never fail to catch the attention of fans. With a friendly smile and a mischievous glint in his eye, Slither roams the stadium, pumping up the crowd and entertaining fans of all ages.

Slither has been the beloved mascot of the San Antonio Copperheads for over a decade, and his presence at every game has become a cherished tradition. But what many people don't know is that Slither wasn't always the energetic and playful character they see today. In fact, he wasn't even from Earth. Slither hails from a distant planet called Snakarion, where snakes are the dominant species and possess advanced intellect and abilities. It was on this planet that Slither discovered his love for baseball and dreamed of one day playing on a professional team.

However, fate had other plans for Slither. When a group of intergalactic travelers landed on Snakarion, they were immediately drawn to Slither's impressive baseball skills and offered him a spot on their team. Excited at the opportunity to play the sport he loved on a grand scale, Slither accepted and left his home planet behind.

Unfortunately, the excitement of playing baseball in space eventually wore off, and Slither found himself longing for a place to call home. That's when he stumbled upon Earth and discovered the game of baseball was not only popular here but also had a professional league. It didn't take long for Slither to make his way to San Antonio, where he immediately connected with the Copperheads team and their fiery spirit.

As the official mascot of the team, Slither takes great pride in representing the San Antonio Copperheads. His jersey number, 11, is a nod to his home planet, Snakarion, as it symbolizes the two parallel lines on the planet's surface that form the number. Slither's presence at games adds an extra element of excitement and fun for fans, and his passion for the game is contagious.

In addition to entertaining fans, Slither also has a philanthropic side. He often makes appearances at local schools and community events, spreading his message of teamwork, determination, and perseverance.
