Skyballer455's Creations Thread

skyballer455 · 01-17-2019, 08:55 PM

Over the last several months or so, I've been working on an addition (at least that was the plan) to Tiger Fan's 1901-1999 minor league jersey/cap/logo pack to add all the team seasons up to the present. I have been documenting this effort in the thread "Post-2000 Minor League Set In Progress: Help Needed". Unlike Tiger Fan, I've gotten very little help, but that is fine.

I recently thought that it would be better (and far less complicated) to instead incorporate the post-2000 minor league set into the other jerseys sets I have to create the Ultimate Historical Graphics Collection.

With this in mind, I decided to start a new thread like ArcAngel's creation thread, but for my creations.Even after I'm done with that project, I'll still post whatever I've created to this thread.

Thanks and I hope everyone enjoys.

As was the case with the Waves, there weren't many pictures but there was enough material to put together a pretty accurate set.

This set is more representative of the team's look from that era than the one included in Tiger Fan's 1901-1999 minor league set, based on a couple of baseball card pictures I found.

The logo was made by txranger, however I included it for the sake of including a logo.

I knew this set would be a breeze to make as there are more than enough pics of Michael Jordan playing with this team the one year he played minor league baseball.

This was another set where I had to lift the jersey scripts off of pictures. The home jersey script left much to be desired, while the away script turned out better. That's just the way it is when you're working with such limited material. Still, I think the set turned out pretty well.

Surprisingly, sportslogos.net has quite a lot of material available for this Single-A team. That, along with the many baseball card pics available, made this an easy and accurate set to make.

Yes, this team followed the parent club in using this much-despised look. This set is fairly accurate.

I had to search high and low for enough material to make an accurate for this era, when they were affiliated with the Pirates.

There was simply not enough reference material to make a fully accurate set for this era. The home jersey is accurate but that's about it.

Could you do the South Bend Silver Hawks when they were a White Sox affiliate? Also Kane County Cougars prior to their newest uniform & logo change, namely when they were a Marlins affiliate?

skyballer455 · 03-13-2019, 11:43 PM

There were a few reference photos showing the home jersey but none of the away jersey so I wound up making a generic away jersey for this set.

The Grizzlies changed their look for this season to coincide with their change of affiliation from the Astros to the Nationals. I don't know if these have already been created elsewhere, but here's my version.

The home jersey is accurate but I couldn't any material to make an accurate away jersey so I wound up making a gray version of the home jersey.
