Great, was typing a post, and Firefox stalled for me. So let me try retyping what I was trying to say here, if I can remember what I was saying here well enough. Or redo it from scratch as best as I can, anyway, that is.

Okay, the Canacolu League was created in 1901 for my Fields of the Lord dynasty. The league name comes from CANAda and COLUmbia, seeing as Columbia is an alternate name for America, as you may already know by now.

Since I began having Association-related playoffs for teams in the Terran Professional Baseball Federation following the 1906 league playoffs for certain leagues, teams from the Canacolu League have won the last four Global Series titles, and the Baltimore Orioles won the last Global Series title, but the Montreal Skylarks won the Global Series title the previous three seasons before them, following the Boston Red Sox who won in 1907, and the New York Giants in 1906.

The league in question here expanded to two subleagues/divisions for the 1911 season, doubling in size from 8 to 16 teams. Originally it didn't have any divisions, but when it added teams further west, it needed a new subleague/division for it, of course.

The league's original eight teams have already been mentioned. The newest eight teams are the Kansas City Monarchs, the Minnesota Voyageurs, the Portland Rosebuds, the St. Louis Terriers, the St. Paul Saints, the San Francisco Seals, the Seattle Steelheads, and the Vancouver Mounties. Of those teams, I have looks for the Monarchs, Terriers, Saints, Seals, and the Mounties, at least. Not sure if I have any for Seattle yet, but I do know that the Voyageurs and Rosebuds definitely need to have looks for them both, in any case, for sure.

As for the Statesmen, the game currently has their color codes as follows:

Team color: 1A347E (also used for cap main & visor, and jersey secondary & pinstripe colors)
Team text color: F0F0F0
Jersey main color: FFFFFF
Jersey away color: B6B6B6

If possible, in terms of their uniforms, I'd probably prefer something between a Vest Stripes style and what you have for them now, I think. As for colors, perhaps something between what you have here and more traditional Washington Senators/Bullets/Capitals colors besides the shade of gray you used here might work well for them, I think. The font choice and style are good too, and the eagle is a nice touch, but it doesn't presently seem to fit well with the team's Statesmen name. At least not yet, anyway, that is. Maybe it could be altered a little, to hopefully fit better? It looks great, in truth, but still doesn't seem to work currently as a primary logo. Certainly might work as a secondary now, but not as a primary. At least not until 1915 or 1920, or so, perhaps, in any case.

As for Halifax, the game has their colors currently as follows:

Team color: DE3942 (also used for jersey away color)
Team text color: A5ADB5
Ballcap main color: 1842C0 (also used for jersey secondary and pinstripe colors)
Ballcap visor color: 3EDAE3
Jersey main color: FFFF00

I'd prefer a jersey style for them somewhere between a New Stripes style and what you have for them now, I think. Also would prefer a font that is more nautical in look and style, yet also reminiscent of Scotland and commercial shipping, if possible, like through merchant ships, for instance. As for colors, the above colors or similar enough ones to them are preferred for use here if and where they can be properly used here as needed and/or desired, et cetera. I'm also not quite sold on the interior of the logo, but the border of it seems to work here, at least. Maybe something else might work for the logo here better inside the current border? Perhaps Halifax could be above Sailors in the final logo or logos, somehow? Just a few thoughts here related to the Sailors, txranger.

Thank you for your time and attention here. I think these sets might work for the Statesmen and the Sailors, at some point or points in their respective histories as they are here now, but not quite yet. Will probably save them to my computer later, anyway, for possible later use, in any case. Keep up the great work, for sure. CD out.
