Request for Goofy, Fun, and Bright for Greater Austin Baseball League (GAB)

enuttage · 07-08-2012, 02:58 PM

With a happy return to OOTP, I have decided to revive an ancient solo league of mine. This'll be the updated version of the Greater Austin Baseball League (GAB).

Below you can see the teams/nicks/divisions. Two U.S. presidents that called Austin home at one point are the honorees of the division names. I couldn't make this stuff up!

And here's the original thread where the logos were done:

http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ng-series.html

I'm looking for any help y'all talented folks can offer in the way of some updated logos and unis/caps (I previously had done some myself, and may again).

I'll take all the help I can get!

The league is supposed to be pure escape and total fun and I'd love the logos and unis to reflect that. Wild colors and silly logos are welcome, if you're up for it.

If anyone wants a quickstart when I'm done, I'm happy to post it up if you'd like. I'm using 1990 league settings and might eventually expand to include another major city in Texas. TBD.

TIA for any help, y'all! And good to be back "on the mound".

(Used later version)

Not sure if the Hilltoppers is too small, but that's a long name to get on the front.

Knuck!!!

I think you did like 80% of these originally. I love 'em, but am trying to get a slightly different logo feel.

I'm keeping the Clarksville 9 logo, because I love it and don't want to change it at all.

Not that beggars can be choosers, but wanna take a crack at a new version of the Hilltoppers?

Thanks a TON for the uni. I'm all over it.

enuttage · 07-08-2012, 04:19 PM

Any chance of an alt. uni with "Cuerny" on the front?

That's the 'hood nickname.

I will re-do the jersey. What colors did you have in mind?

Those are actually really beautiful (do I get demerits 'round here for using that word to describe artwork?).

Thanks so much!

Lol. I miss those days...a little. Certainly Kinky and I have both grown older and less naive since then.

Hope you're well, Chris. Nice to see another familiar face 'round here.

CONN CHRIS · 07-09-2012, 10:27 PM

I might use the term 'evolved'

The Ballad of Charles Whitman still makes laugh even though I know it shouldn't.

I haven't noticed you about in ages E, hope all is well.

It IS well, thanks. I have actual time to spend with my wife and kids with a new job, and I'm still doing something that allows me to not sit in a cubicle all day.

Plus now I own OOTP again.

I'm a happy dude!

knuckler · 07-10-2012, 09:32 PM

I still don't think I'm capturing what you had in mind with these this go around (though I do imagine this jersey with gold pants). The diamond on the hat is a nod to the full name, but it's a bit tough to get it on the jersey. Let me know if you have anything better in mind.

Cat Mountain Coyotes! I love it. Finally I have not just a hometown OOTP team but a home neighborhood OOTP team.
