This is vaguely forum-related, as I've discussed this topic many times on my own forum and briefly here. @meetdilip asked if I could post it here. Hopefully I won't incur the wrath of the mods in doing so.
I play a game called Out of the Park and have created a six-team fictional league which I have based in an equally fictional country named Lyonesse. Here are their names, with the color schemes I'd devised for each:
A few notes, here. I've already done the Browns, as they are based directly off a defunct team from the 1950s. So the cap and wordmarks are fine. (The cap emblem is a brown and orange fleur-de-lis.) The main logo, though, needs some serious help:
Good Lord, that is terrifying. No wonder they folded.
I'm also thinking about changing the name of the Neptunes. I may go instead with a different "aquatic" name, or go with the Miramar Bluebirds. The color scheme would change if necessary there...the bluebirds are shades of blue, but they also have a sort of rust-colored spot on them, so that might become the highlight color instead.
If you have any ideas for a different color scheme for pretty much any of the teams, especially the Aeros or Pirates, have at it. The only ones that might stay as-is are the Petrels and Browns.
There's no due date on this. I'm very flexible with ideas.

- Melrose Browns (brown and orange)
- Miramar Neptunes (light blue and dark blue, white or yellow accents)
- Tangines Tigers (orange and black)
- Rubycon Petrels (black and white, yellow or gold accents)
- Eastgate Pirates (red and black)
- Phaedra Aeros (green and yellow)
