Historical Minor League Uniforms

No Pepper · 08-17-2007, 01:44 AM

I'm currently working on recreating historical uniforms and logos for the minor leagues beginning in 1901. I don't claim any of these as being completely accurate, but something that will give players the feel of being in that era.

This will ultimately be a part of a 1901 historical quickstart that includes the minor leagues in some form or fashion. More information on that will soon follow, I'm sure

But for now, this is what I've finished for the Eastern/International League up through about the 1930's:

looks excellent!

rocknfire7 · 08-17-2007, 02:48 AM

Wow. That's going to be some undertaking!! Good luck!!

No Pepper · 08-22-2007, 01:59 AM

Updated!

American Association is done...through the 30's.

justafan · 09-01-2007, 10:58 PM

These are great!

Any news on the quickstart?

Powderguy · 09-02-2007, 04:41 PM

Wow, excellent job so far

No Pepper · 09-03-2007, 03:26 PM

Thanks for the comments. Hopefully these are going along ok. Besides rounding out the "AAA" leagues with the PCL, would there be any other suggestions for leagues to look into?

I ask because I'm not yet sure how we can handle the minors, historically speaking, because they aren't working the greatest if we leave them as unaffiliated independents. If we use affiliated teams, then no problem. We'd just have to round out the different levels. Sort of like Tigerfan's old 1930 quickstart for OOTP2006.

No Pepper, do you have a template you're willing to share for the 1900 and 1910 jerseys?

If so, cooleyattotalsportsworlddotnet

If it helps you, I have some PCL stuff on PadreFan's site along with some other historical sets.

No Pepper · 09-04-2007, 08:21 AM

Cooley,

I have one, but it's a bit messy right now. I'll put one together in the coming days for you. I've seen your work before and I love it.

ashantewarrier · 09-04-2007, 10:58 AM

Good work Pep! Too bad independent minors are not setup exactly to mirror early historical minors.

English_Ray · 09-06-2007, 10:32 AM

No Pepper, these are absolutely amazing, as usual. I have a little bit of a request, although i do feel a little like i'm trying to steal your brilliant work!

Since you put these up i've been messing around trying to get the collars like you have on several of the 1910 shirts (Buffalo, Newark, Toronto etc), but i just cannot get it right. I was wondering if maybe you could post (or PM me) the neck part of any of them so i can whack it into the jerseys i'm doing for my league?

If not, no worries, i shall just have to wait patiently like everyone else for when you release this awesome set!

No Pepper · 09-06-2007, 04:10 PM

Thanks Ray. You know, my collar is taken from acetonic's work here. Check Cubs #21 here for a different take on this cadet-style collar.

I'll point you to those sets first before I post you one (I'm not at home now).

Hey Pep,

Where is your vintage Cuban uniform set? Can't find it

Thanks!

No Pepper · 09-06-2007, 06:09 PM

I haven't finished it yet

Thanks very much for that link - I think I'd managed to miss that set (and that collar!) when it first came out...

Ktulu · 09-08-2007, 12:10 PM

These are awesome!

Are the uniforms available for download anywhere or are you waiting to finish everything up?

No Pepper · 09-11-2007, 02:00 AM

Ktulu, I'm gonna try and finish the 3 major "AAA" leagues and then see about a release?

No Pepper · 09-12-2007, 08:39 AM

The IL, AA, and PCL is done. Need to do a few team logos and then work on a template/quickstart can begin!

falkonisback · 09-12-2007, 04:45 PM

These look awesome!! This is probably a stupid question, but when you're creating the jersery and cap logos, how do you do the fonts? Do you manually draw each one or do you have certain fonts where you can just type what you want and it comes out looking like that? I've wanting to try to create some logos and jersey and cap logos, but with my very limited graphics skills, drawing out each font is completely out of the question for me.Also, what program do you use?
