RoughRiders9 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 The Iowa Oaks were an AAA team for the Chicago White Sox back in the 70's, and today they are now known as the Iowa Cubs. I decided to re-create their uniforms by using today's standards, while keeping the old school look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJBerthiaume Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I like these jerseys a lot. I never knew there was a team called the Iowa Oaks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearhead Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Wow, this is a very nice concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lich0037 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I like this concept too. I wouldn't mind seeing an alt. jersey and hat. But overall nice work!

aerodynamix Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Very nice concept right there. Nothing too over the top and a shout-out to the old Iowa Oaks. If the Cubs/I-Cubs ever split ties with each other (which I hope will never happen), a return to the Oaks and a uniform like this would be great for the club.

RoughRiders9 Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 Here are the two alternate jerseys. The dark one can be either worn on the road or at home. The powder blue will probably be for a specific day, probably Sundays. It can also be for home or away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgesL Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 This is really a step in the right direction. They actually should shed the Cubs moniker and return to the team's roots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 No they shouldn't. Teams that are regional powers should apply their names to their affiliates so as to reinforce the connections between farm territories and the major league markets: Mississippi Braves, Gwinnett Braves, Pawtucket Red Sox, Springfield Cardinals, Iowa Cubs. It's great. There's a place in the minors for unique local identities, and there's a place for copycats. Iowa is a place for copycats. Boy, there's a tourism slogan.In and of itself, the concept is good, though. Dynamite move to put the oak leaf inside the O. It's a good oak leaf, too; you see it and go "oh, that's oak!" Not sold on the colors. I feel like an Iowa team should be barn red, corn yellow, and grass green. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashcarson15 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I just made an alternate logo, an "O" with an oak leaf sticking out of the "O"What do you think?feedbacks? C+C?I like the alternate, and one suggestion on the powder jersey, see what making the back of the cap blue does, like the Expos and Jays did, not having powder in those caps. That good for ya?

Ted Cunningham Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I just made an alternate logo, an "O" with an oak leaf sticking out of the "O"What do you think?I like this alt logo quite a bit. About the only thing I don't like is how the 'stem' part of the leaf just tapers off to a point. Perhaps make it look a little more stemmy? (That's not a word.)
