TShaw528 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I'm planning on creating a full feeder league for the NBA. As it is, the D-League simply is irrelevant. Some of the teams are linked with one NBA team, while other D-League teams are feeders for 4-5 NBA teams. It also is more for players who don't want to play college ball, than for teams to send inexperienced players to.This concept will be designed with the thought that the D-League does not exist. (Otherwise, I'd of ran out of markets pretty quickly)All American Basketball AssociationSquares = West Conference Circles = East ConferenceEach color is a division(I changed a few teams, the ones listed below are accurate and may not match the map until I get around to updating it)Here is a list of NBA teams followed by their AABA team.Boston: Connecticut HarpoonsBrooklyn: Syracuse Emeralds New York: Trenton MinutemenPhilly: Lehigh Valley VenomToronto: Ottawa YetisChicago: Iowa DustersCleveland: Columbus Castles (Formerly Kings)Detroit: Pittsburgh TorqueIndiana: St. Louis ArchesMilwaukee: Louisville DerbyAtlanta: Birmingham BulldogsCharlotte: Durham DragonsMiami: Tampa Bay Great WhitesOrlando: Virginia Beach SeagullsWashington: Baltimore CaptainsDenver: Boise MountaineersMinnesota: Fargo StampedeOklahoma City: Tulsa TwistersPortland: Honolulu Surf (Formerly Luau)Utah: Las Vegas AcesGolden State: San Fransisco Gold RushClippers: Reno GiantsLakers: San Diego CrocodilesPhoenix: Albuquerque AztecsSacramento/Seattle: Vancouver Rapids (Formerly Seattle Downpour)Dallas: Kansas Golden TigersHouston: Austin MatadorsMemphis: Nashville GuitarsNew Orleans: Little Rock BouldersSan Antonio: Omaha RanchersI'm open to taking name suggestions, some are a bit random and unorthodox, and I don't care for them all. I might try to rearange the divisions/move some teams, because geographically the league is not overly well organized.I'll post teams in a random order, unless anyone has a request.

TShaw528 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 I'll start posting uniforms tonight, but I forgot that there was an NBA team with the nickname "Kings."Thus, Columbus will be renamed Castles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElTeduardo Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 You should probably change honolulus name to maybe the Pearls or Dolphins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Dandy Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 With the pending move of Sacramento to Seattle, would that have an effect on team locations and affiliations?(This is a cool idea, by the way.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TShaw528 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 You should probably change honolulus name to maybe the Pearls or Dolphins.Yeah, I agree I'm not caring for the name Luau anymore. Maybe Surf would work?With the pending move of Sacramento to Seattle, would that have an effect on team locations and affiliations?(This is a cool idea, by the way.)I was actually thinking about this earlier. Sacramento might get Portland's minor league team, and Honolulu would be the team for Seattle, or I might use Vancouver instead. If I were to move a minor league team to Vancouver, it would have to be Seattle's. Portland would then be linked with Honolulu. I'd hate to screw over the city of Sacramento, but it would be kind of weird to replace an NBA team with a AABA (Might change that name) minor league team.Edit: Since it's pretty much been confirmed that Sacramento is moving to Seattle, I'll design the teams with this in mind. Vancouver it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TShaw528 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Here's my first stab at the Austin Matadors. I've had this logo for a while, and was never really sure what to do with it, so I angled the horn a bit and based the Jersey around it.This is the home. They wear tan, not white, at home and probably Red on the road. I'll wait for some C&C before designing their other sets. Home games are played at Cedar Park Center, which holds about 6,800.

KreuCutBuckeye Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Could you do the Great Whites and castles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TShaw528 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 The Columbus Siege (I changed their name from Castles. I think Siege sounds more intimidating)They play their home games at the (Currently) unoccupied Battelle Hall, which holds about 6,500. They have a color scheme of Grey, Orange, and Green.Logo:Home:Road:Alts:I could use some C&C. While I like the striping, I'd like to use all three colors on each set, but it looks kinda weird that way, least the combos I've tried.(Notice the battlements on the sleeves?)

Philsphan Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 The Austin teams. Reds to have some workmark. Just the bull head is not enough. For the Siege, I think you should hit the drawing boards again. It just looks too modern for a team named with a medieval theme. Personally, I would go back to Castles and design a medieval type uni. That's just my opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just my opinion though.I kinda like the Matador's uni w/out a wordmark (Plus I tried to make a decent wordmark and failed miserably).I agree with the Castles thing, though. Green and Orange don't really work well for a Castle type of team. I might use that striping for some other team, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TShaw528 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Major change. Completely redid the whole set, I like how it turned out. Pretty simple, but not plain.BTW, the castle on the pants says "Columbus Castles" on the base. It's just too small to make out. That's what the purple blobs near the bottom of it are.HomeRoadNo alternates at this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAWeaver Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I think the names on the jerseys should be much larger than that. Also, it's either the red on the logo or the tan on the jerseys that's looking kinda odd to me in the Austin set. I think you should put "Matadors" above the bull head and a large M behind the bull. This concept has potential, just keep trying on the logos and the rest will come. @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
