Hi, folks -- long-time listener; first-time caller. For a few years now, I've enjoyed creating team identities in OOTP as a way to pass the time at the end of a long day, shut the ol' brain off, exercise some OCD tendencies, etc. Over time, I've consolidated these teams into a baseball universe that has grown... fairly massive. With two leagues of eight twelve-team divisions apiece, I somehow ended up with 192 squads on my hands (I promise, I'm not a shut-in or anything).

Not having much aptitude for graphic design, I repurposed the work of just about every prolific contributor to this site, as well as others like SportsLogos, Behance, et al. I did plenty of adapting (of colors, designs, cities, team names) and created several of these teams from scratch, but for the most part this league draws heavily from the heavy lifting of others -- although, as far as I can recall, I added at least some twist or tweak to every design rather than lifting anything wholesale. I'm afraid that I did not do a great job of sourcing the work I borrowed, as I never expected to post these here. I decided, however, that others might enjoy making use of some of these teams in their own leagues, or improving on my ideas (which I, of course, encourage). In any event, thanks are due to TxRanger, NoPepper, Low, and countless others whose work has inspired.

The Continental Baseball League is a celebration of America (and its neighbors). Every state fields at least one team, and five countries are in some way represented. I tried to maintain a sense of connection between each city and its team name, without straying too far into MiLB team name ridiculousness or self-seriousness on the other end.

Without further preamble, I'll post the first twelve teams -- the Eastern League's Noreaster Division -- below. If folks are into it, I'd be happy to post more. Thanks for indulging a newcomer.
