Fred T. Jane Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Howdy folks,I was reading some newspapers from 1940 and was reminded that there were 2 Semi-Pro leagues that were quite active from the 1920s through the late 1950s. They were the Evangeline League and the Teche League, which was an offshoot of the Evangeline League. The quality of play was decent, and most people compare it to AA Minor Leagues today.With that said, I doubt I'll ever get around to finishing it, but I'm aiming to give them uniforms if they were still playing today. Some would have modern designs, whilst others would probably keep a traditional look. I don't have the list of all of the teams offhand, but here's a few of the teams from the Teche league circa 1940:Abbeville AcesCrowley Millers (Rice Milling)Erath CrusadersWeeks Island Red SoxYoungsville CardinalsIf anyone would like to jump in and do one, feel free to do so. First up for me is the Abbeville Aces, which were the perrenial doormats. I figured I'd go traditional for them, so here's the logo, and wordmarks for the home and road jerseysLogoHome WordmarkRoad WordmarkC&C Welcome as always. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

Drew22 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I'm diggin these, I really like the "Aces" Script and the "Abbeville" is pretty awsome too. The red pinstripes look a little weird maybe try blue? Would you be doing jerseys for them? Overall a great concept.DRew Eagles/Heels/Dawgs/Falcons/Hawks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred T. Jane Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 OK, I finished the home jerseys. I changed the red pinstriping to blue to see what the difference would be. C&C is welcome.
