Time for a couple more logos this weekend: two expansion teams for the Great Lakes Baseball Conference.

Cleveland Buckeyes - I wanted one team in Ohio named for the state symbol, and then I remembered that there was a late-era Negro League team of the same name.

South Bend Green Sox - Self-explanatory connection to Notre Dame University, which is probably the main reason why almost anybody knows about South Bend.

I don't know if I'm 100% or even 90% confident in the South Bend logo, which is a modified version of the Chicago White Sox alternate logo. I kept tweaking it but for some reason it still looks just a bit incomplete to me. Maybe I feel like I haven't modified the original enough? That one may get an update.
