missouri tigers Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I have decided to start a concept baseball league. Called the Independence Baseball League or IBL.The IBL will have 3 divisions with 4 teams in each division. The divisions will be called the Eastern, Central and Western Divisions.This league is meant to be an independent pro baseball league (Not affiliated with the MLB or any Minor Leagues). Much like the Frontier or Northern League)Below are the league logos I have so far-Carolina VipersMy link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to add suggestions for cities or team names, as I'm not the most creative when it comesto naming teams.Not sure how many teams you would like . But I always think of cities that have or had other pro teams but not baseball , or just good sized cities that could support sports.

Are you just picking cities that you like or do you have a method that youre using? Lincoln seems very small compared to the other markets.

Are you just picking cities that you like or do you have a method that youre using? Lincoln seems very small compared to the other markets.I am trying to pick the largest cities that do not have any MLB teams, and ignoring if they have any minor league teams. A team in Lincoln is not set in stone, I am open to another market taking it's place, including Omaha or Des Moines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missouri tigers Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 Here is my concept for The CAROLINA VIPERS:*I am open to suggestions on how to make these logos any better* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapeeko Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Wow, very good. I love the color scheme. The logos are really great also. My one gripe is that the VC monogram looks a lot like this.Besides that this is a very good concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ink Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 My only problem with it is having the V logo on the hat, I personally don't like it when teams use their team name initial on the hat instead of the state or city initials. Have you thought about it being the Virginia Vipers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgthree Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Color Scheme and logos are very cool. Also one market I think often gets overlooked is Providence/RI in general. I know its a small market, but a lot of fun ways to play off the state/city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you thought about it being the Virginia Vipers?If other people think it is a problem, then I will consider changing it, but I personally don't have a problem with teams using their city and team names' initials in a logosuch as the Rockies CR logo[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

undead Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I really like the V with the snake. I do agree that the letter should reflect the city or state of the team. Portfoliobobschultz6' class="bbc_url">@bobschultz6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
