Alternate Baseball League 2.0

Here are the team logos I am sure of or have already been posted. If you upload or send me a link to a logo for your team I'll turn it into a badge like these so we can have a uniform database.

Here are the unofficial logos I've done while procrastinating, or to make that old Johanna Kruk rookie card.

If anyone wants me to make a logo for a team they've created, feel free to ask. I always have more important work I could use a distraction from.

Eigen, would you mind making logos for my other teams? Also, what's inside the D in the Dayton Pilots logo?

Sure. The thing inside the D is supposed to be a side silhouette of a pilot (you can see the head rest, his helmet, his knees, and his foot clearly). I pulled it off of a cut-away diagram of an old jet. Unfortunately, most of the detail was lost when I shrunk it down. Completely lost the visor and his facial features. I also had to erase the joystick he was holding. Once I gave it a solid color, it just looked like a seated guy with an erection.

Since you didn't specify any colors or ideas, I just ran with each team.

For Equipo San Juan Unido logo I used the blue, white, and yellow I found on the city flag. I also added the lamb from the city seal (because it reminded me of the old St. Louis Browns logo), and the star from the Puerto Rican flag.

For Milwaukee, once I noticed that the team has the same MB initials as the Brewers, I had to use the old Brewers baseball glove logo. The colors and the dark gray pinstriped flanel are meant to evoke a more old school or classic team.

Also cleaned up the Dayton and Las Vegas logos. I had intended the Dayton logo to be an old retro logo for the baseball card. So if you have any updated colors or logo ideas let me know.

I feel like Dayton's updated logo would have brighter colors, and maybe a baseball with aviator sunglasses. It probably came into being the mid-'90s.

Maybe try cleaning up this logo a bit for the Maryland Orioles logo, bringing everything inside the diamond? Alternatively, there's this fun logo.
 
As I saved the small icon version of the new Dayton logo, photoshop crashed and I lost the unsaved large version. :mad:

Sorry I forgot Maryland last night when I was making the others. I modified that first logo to use "O's" to go with the rest of the NL east which so far all are letter logos.

I Have A Suggestion, Could you make the following logos

- Oakland Wolves (Similar to the Miss Texas USA Logo (due to Al & Gail Clark owning the team) except it will be with a map of California and a Wolf in place of a star)
- San Francisco Bay Bombers (Same as The Roller Derby Logo for that team)
- Dallas Rebels
- Los Angeles Bullets
- Seattle Rainiers

Please?

Like the logos. Makes me wish I would have come up with something flashier for the Raiders. Maybe like a Carrack or whatever those ships were called that de Ruyter (the Raider) was sailing upon imposed on top the roundel. Or maybe the colors painted on a baseball...
 
This Thread has been bump'd, so it's time for a retrospective

And Now Some Tidbits for the Rebels, Bay Bombers, Wolves, Bullets and Rainiers

The Rebel Cannon (The Ballpark in Arlington - Dallas Rebels)

A Replica of the Gonzales Cannon which is used during the Texas Revolution in October 2, 1835 which appears at The Ballpark in Arlington, The Rebel Cannon is used during the following events in every Dallas Rebels Home games

- Song-and-Dance Numbers by the Rebelettes which will conclude with a Kickline and Drop Splits (Used During Every Rebels Pre-Game, And Sometimes during between innings)
- Everytime a Rebels Player scores a Home Run
- Everytime the Rebels win the Game

Art in Safeco Field (Seattle Rainiers)

- Safeco Field and its adjoining parking garage feature extensive public art displays, including:
- A chandelier made of 1,000 resin baseball bats
- -"Quilts" depicting each MLB team logo, made from recycled metal including license plates from the respective teams' states.
- Stainless steel cutouts of players in various poses while catching, batting, fielding, and pitching, integrated into the fences at the stadium's four main gates.
- Sculptures depicting hands gripping baseballs for various types of pitches.
- A 9-foot-tall (2.7 m) bronze baseball glove that has become an icon for Safeco Field.
- A mural depicting Mindy Duncan's famed "The Double".
- Children's Hospital Wishing Well which features a bronze statue of a child in batting position, and includes a geyser effect used at the beginning of games and when the opposing team hits a home run and also features waterspouts around the statue for a fountain effect, which is activated each time a Mariners player hits a home run

Rusty, the Coke bottle, and the glove (AT&T Park - San Francisco Bay Bombers)

When the park opened in 2000, taking residence on the right field wall was Rusty, the Mechanical Man based on a theme of Old Navy since the wall was sponsored by the company. Rusty was a two-dimensional robotic ballplayer that stood 14 feet (4.3 m) tall and weighed five and a half tons. The Valencia, California firm, Technifex, engineered, fabricated and programmed Rusty to appear after major plays, during games, as a fully animated giant 1920's era tin "toy". After technical problems arose with Rusty, it was removed from the Old Navy Splash Landing, though the enclosure that housed him remained for years. In 2006 the Old Navy sponsorship of the wall was terminated and renamed "Levi's Landing". In 2008, the enclosure was removed as that area near the right field foul pole was renovated for a new luxury party suite called the "McCovey Cove Loft".

Behind the left field bleachers is "The Coca-Cola Fan Lot". The ballpark features an 80-foot (24 m) long Coca-Cola bottle with playground slides that will blow bubbles and light up with every Giants home run, and a miniature version of the stadium. "The Coca-Cola Superslide" is popular with children as is with adults, and the terraced levels of the slides is a fun way to catch the game. If one were viewing the outfield promenade from home plate, directly to the bottle's right is another oversized representation of a ballpark stalwart, the "Giant 1927 Old-Time Four-Fingered Baseball Glove" — this particular one is made of steel and fiberglass. Behind and further to the left is "The Little Giants Park" - a miniature baseball diamond — sort of a minor league tryout for Pee-Wee Ball

To the right of the glove sculpture is the elevator and large plaza area for functions and parties to be held during games. It's also the site of "Orlando's", the concessions stand of Giants great Orlando Cepeda. The signature fare at the stand is the "Caribbean Cha Cha Bowl". Right-center field features a real San Francisco cable car (retired cable car #4, formerly #504), with a label that states "No Bullets Fans Allowed". The fog horn — a feature introduced at Candlestick Park by the current Giants ownership group - was transferred to AT&T and hung underneath the scoreboard. It blows when a Bay Bombers player hits a home run. Continue right takes one to the promenade above the Cove, so that one can make a completely uninterrupted circuit of the park at that concourse level. Both levels of the concourse, inside the stadium, feature not only concession stands of all sorts, but other attractions as well.

The Tarp (Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum - Oakland Wolves)

In 2006, the Wolves covered the entire third deck with a tarp, reducing capacity to 34,077—the smallest capacity in the majors. For the 2008 season, Sections 316–318 of the 3rd deck behind home plate were re-opened as the Wolves introduced their own "All-You-Can-Eat" seating area, similar to the right field bleachers at Bullet Stadium. This has increased the Coliseum's capacity for baseball to 35,067 - still very small. For the 2009 season, seats were $35 and only sold on a single game basis; All-You-Can-Eat seating was offered for every game in 2008, but for 2009 the section was only open for weekend games (Friday-Sunday) & all games against the Albany Wendigos, Boston Kelley Caps, and San Francisco Giants. For 2010, the Wolves have discontinued All-You-Can-Eat, instead rebranding the area as the "Value Deck". Prices for these seats have decreased to $12 and are sold for every game ($15 price for premium games). To help compensate for the loss of AYCE, the Wolves have introduced Jumbo-Tickets that have stored stadium credit for food & merchandise ($10 on Plaza Club tickets & $6 for Value Deck tickets). Even if the game is otherwise sold out, the Wolves will not sell any seats in the area that remains covered. An exception may be made when the Wolves return to the post-season. However, the Wolves did not remove the tarp during the 2006 postseason.

LA Bullet Girls

In 1979, The Los Angeles Bullets have to create song-and-dance team called the LA Bullet Girls which will play home games at Bullet Stadium in Los Angeles, along with music by Dan Sawyer and the Sound System in which they play modern music (just like they play the music on the game show The $100,000 Name That Tune from 1978-1981)

Notable Bullet Girls Alumni include Former Solid Gold Dancers Lezlie Mogell, Pam Rossi, Nicole Romine, Beverly Jeanne, Jamilah Lucas, Eileen Fairbanks, Leslie Cook and Gigi Hunter, Paula Abdul, Paige Green, Jenilee Harrison, Kiana Tom.
