Thank you all in advance for reading this and helping out... I am a better story writer that Graphic Artist - This league will be a solo/dynasty league it will contain a website (most likely a blog)...

Premise: Baseball is recorded back (as accuratly as can be expected for the times) as 1845.... In 1857 the "New York" style game formed a League NABBP - This league was made up by up to 400 teams (including California and Louisiana) - Since most the teams were from Brooklyn it would get tough to have sixteen Brooklyn / Newark teams - So I am going to write a seperate backstory and what I am going to use is the twelve teams that competed between 1869 & '71 as the basis for this starting point. Though the actual league starting date will be '45.

Knuckler - You did some logo's for me recently for my PBBPA league (they were excellent) - Those were the EXACT feel of what I am looking for - That was for an online league that I am running... These are going to be for a dynasty league which will be blogged and possibly put into a book format as time goes on -

If anybody wants to take a shot at these it would be greatly appreciated...

Here is the list (you guys choose the colors)

Philadelphia Athletics*
Brooklyn Atlantics *
Cincinnati Red Stockings*
Chicago White Stockings*
Brooklyn Eckfords*
Troy Union *
Forest City *
New York Mutuals*
Washington Olympics *

This woodcut from an 1865 Harper's Weekly shows the nine from the Atlantic of Brooklyn.
