Little League World Series jerseys

I heard someone say that they think the LLWS should use new uniforms, but with the city of origin in place of generics like "Mid-Atlantic" or "EMEA".

Personally, I think the unis should have the Little League name, most of the time. Here's what I whipped up as ideas, using this year's tournament.

POOL A

Mid-Atlantic - Council Rock Newtown Little League - Newtown, PA

Midwest - Davenport Northwest Little League - Davenport, IA

Northwest - West Oahu Little League - Ewa Beach, HI

Southeast - Maitland Little League - Maitland, FL

POOL B

Great Lakes - Owensboro Southern Little League - Owensboro, KY

New England - Westbrook Little League - Westbrook, ME

Southwest - Lafayette Little League - Lafayette, LA

West - Rancho Buena Vista Little League - Vista, CA

POOL C

Canada - Whalley Little League - Surrey, BC

EMEA - Brateevo Little League - Moscow, RUS

Mexico - Seguro Social Little League - Mexicali, MEX

Pacific - Central East Little League - Mangilao-Barrigada, Guam

POOL D

Asia - Chiba City Little League - Chiba City, JPN

Caribbean - Pabao Little League - Willemstad, AHO

Latin America - Los Leones Little League - Valencia, VEN

Transatlantic - Arabian American Little League - Dharana, KSA

Critique and comments welcome!

Love the idea, WM. And I like the sources for the colors you chose (colleges for US, national colors for the others).

But aren't some of the possible matchups close to clashing?

Venezuela (yellow/blue) v. Louisiana (yellow/purple)

Carribean (orange/blue) v. Florida (orange/green)

Japan (blue/white) v. Russia (blue/red)

Would it be worth making clash jerseys (white?) just in case these things come up? The way they do it now, it looks like they generally avoid clashing uniforms - I haven't seen all the games, so I can't say for sure.

And why don't they spring for player names on the back? They go to the trouble of nice new uniforms, why not put the name on there as well...
