The Historic Minor Leagues Project

skyballer455 · 03-24-2015, 04:09 PM

I was playing a MLB Replay league in OOTP 15. By the beginning of the 60s, I had 3 levels of minor leagues. It was at that point that I decided to incorporate each team's real life minor league affiliates (one per decade) at the beginning of every year, three or four major league teams each. However, making all those jersey, cap, and logo sets (I like to be original) turned out to be a very tedious task. I made several bulk requests on the Retro Style Logos and Uniforms thread. But soon people (understandably) pointed out to me that my requests were too large.

I then decided, why not make a project out of it?

My goals for this project are to provide jersey, cap, and logo sets for each major league team's minor league affiliates for each level of minors (one per decade) from as early as possible all the way to the present day. This would benefit many people who run replay leagues.

I hope that made sense, that was kind of hard to explain.

So, who's with me?

I've already made a bunch here...

And No Pepper made a great American Association set here:

There's a good start. If you have the pics/source materials, I'd be willing to take requests in my thread. No more than four at a time, though.

Thanks for those, I'll be looking to include some of them. However, I would like to have them all in one place for the sake of convenience.

Those Elmira jerseys are more like the late 70s-early 80s version. Here's some more appropriate to the 1960s era:
