OfficialBailey7 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 This will be my first league ever, and I will use it as a way to practice creating my own logos and adding them to a design. I haven't posted a logo to this site, so I can also get some feedback to progress my logo-making ability. Im starting small, with a small, 16 team, 4 division league. If I make it that far, I will make a few expansion teams. The logos will be simple, not trying to over-do it on my first try. Mainly Letter/Script bases logos much like the MLB. I may have to "borrow" a design few clip art desings as a template to base my desing off of, but no copyrighted logos for sure. You probably wont even be able to tell which clip art I used to make the logos, but if you insist I'll post the clip art I used to make the logo. Hand-drawn logos may be included.Now, I'll end my babbling and show you guys the cities. No concept yet, because I need some nickname ideas. I won't pull a Cody21 though, I promise EastLong Island (New York City)CharlotteOrlando STORMRichmondSouthSan AntonioNew OrleansKansas CityMemphisWestPortlandUtah (Salt Lake City)Las VegasAlbuquerque GAUCHOSNorthLouisvilleChicagoBuffaloIndianapolisHopefully this works!!

GoodsOnSabres Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I wish you had added Buffalo as one of the teams! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfficialBailey7 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 I'll bump this for some nickname ideas, if there are none, I guess I will get started on my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane1183 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I would suggest doing a bit of research of the cities to decide names but since I'm posting on my phone I won't suggest any names yet but I will when I get on my pc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I would suggest New Orleans and Minnesota over "New Orlenes" and "Minnesotta". Β Β https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OfficialBailey7 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 I present you the first team of this league (and the first baseball team I have ever created), the Orlando Storm. I have started filling in the team names and will continue to do so as you give me ideas. I didn't take any chances with my first shot, just a clean look here. Feedback would be greatly appreciated!

generalshepherd141 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 These are beast! You should make a blue alternate jersey with "Orlando" across the middle of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artisan219 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'm curious why you chose the markets you did. About half of them have MLB teams, so I'm wondering why you didn't opt for more vacant markets.Just a suggestionEastLong Island already has the Mets, perhaps Hartford might be an option?CharlotteOrlando STORMRichmondSouthDallas already has the Rangers, perhaps San Antonio might be an option?New OrleansKansas City already has the Royals, perhaps Oklahoma City might be an option?MemphisWestPortlandUtah (Salt Lake City)San Diego - San Diego already has the Padres, perhaps Las Vegas might be an option?Denver already has the Rockies, perhaps Albuquerque or Santa Fe might be options?NorthCincinnati already has the Reds, perhaps Louisville might be an option?Minnesota (Minneapolis) already has the Twins, perhaps Des Moines might be an option?Detroit already has the Tigers, perhaps Buffalo might be an option?Chicago already has the Cubs and the White Sox, perhaps Indianapolis might be an option?Don't mean to offend or insult, just thought you might have better luck with concepts with some markets that don't already have well-established baseball identities.Good luck with your project.

I dont think I will use OKC because I just think it should be one of those one sport cities, like Green Bay. Louisville is almost definant (Although that was going to be an expainsion tean if I got that far). Im not sure about Long Island though. Multiple teams in that area isually doesn't hurt, and it seems like NYC is one of those "must have markets" for a league. Maybe Brookland?I really wasn't focused on the financial part of the league, but it can't hurt to try, right? Thank you! I'm working on another team, hopefully I will get more C&C this time. Also, keep giving nickname ideas, only one suggestion so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfficialBailey7 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 This is my second team, the Albuquerque Gauchos! I went with the vest and put the logo on the jerseys. Not trying to steal USBC's identity, or anything but there can be two Gauchos (that I know of) in the world. So without furter ado...C&C!As for the other teams, I put the new cities up. BTW do you think I could name a team the Louisville Sluggers? Just an idea, but tell me what you think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancealot Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Your logos and uniforms are pretty plain be more creative. On the second one making the hat bigger could help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artisan219 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Your logos and uniforms are pretty plain be more creative.Yes, I have to agree. You need some more dynamic imagery to your concepts. Orlando was a little dry for my tastes, with the lightning bolt being very generic, but it worked and you had good color contrast. I think you could do better. With Albuquerque, nothing in this concept screams New Mexico, and none of the elements in the uniform are particularly unique. Also, I might suggest Albuquerque Vaqueros as opposed to Gauchos, as that word relates to Brazil and South America more than the North American Spanish desert regions (vaquero is the Spanish word for Cowboy). Or maybe New Mexico Hombres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im also not familiar with the New Mexico Area do I will do a little research and get back to you guys. I appreciate both comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GangGr33n FTW Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 How about the Red Hook (Brooklyn) Bay Men. Being on a large pier, the name, also catchy and professional, works. And the ways you can go with the identity are endless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Your name fonts are awfully big. Imagine trying to fit "Van Landingham" or "Saltalamacchia" on the back of a jersey with the fonts you're using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
