Principal Financial Field opened in 2001 for the Dusters, but the move downtown brought the feel of an old-style ballpark. The standalone cropduster should only be found on fan and player apparel, not the uniforms. No items in the set are considered interchangeable-the yellow-brimmed hat is worn on at home, while the brown-brimmed hat is to remain away from Des Moines. The uniforms have had the same classic concept of brown and yellow Tuscon-style lettering since their Kansas City days 1930s with slight modifications along the way. The cropduster plane logo was introduced in the late 1980s, while the yellow alternate was brought about before the 2003 season. The identity of the Dusters is considered a modern classic. Ricky Romero is coming off of an MVP season at the hot corner, while Ron Hubbard leads the way as the ace of the staff, looking to improve on his 25 wins from 2014. The Dusters boast a tremendous 20 USBL Championships, beginning with the inaugural title as well as a four-peat from 1963-1966. A move to Des Moines, Iowa in 1947 saw them rebrand as the Iowa Dusters, a nod to the cropdusters which were frequently used during the Dust Bowl.
#OOTP BASEBALL LOGOS MAC#
A charter member of the USBL, the MAC took on the name of the Kansas City Browns.
#OOTP BASEBALL LOGOS PROFESSIONAL#
The MAC didnt suffer a loss until 1924, where another professional franchise based out of Omaha ended their unreal 103 game win streak. Back then, the club was essentially an all-star team that travelled and challenged the top college teams. The oldest team in the league, the Iowa Dusters have traces dating back to 1922 as the Midwest Athletic Club. Oh, and the concept of a designated hitter was shot down in the early 50s and has never been challenged, so it looks like they'll never make their way into the USBL. All bullpens are required to be out of the field of play, which means a wall separating the playing surface from the bullpens.
#OOTP BASEBALL LOGOS SERIES#
You'll note this series includes field designs as well. In the spring leagues, most teams choose to wear their standard homes and roads and forgo the alternates. The standard attire for BP is the team-issued t-shirt or normal jersey and, in some cases, an alternate BP hat. Some other minor notes: Pullovers and sansabelt pants never were a fashion in the 1970s, and thus will not be used for throwbacks. This may change, who knows. Also, batting practice jerseys were never used. Patches are to be used for team-related anniversaries (10, 25, 50, 100), league-wide anniversaries, similar to the USBL's 75th Anniversary celebration in 2005, catastrophes or other current events, or in honor of former team members. In addition, all teams will receive Memorial Day sets, 4th of July sets, and various special jerseys that honor multiple racial backgrounds (Latin American, Japanese, French, etc.). Each team has home whites and road greys and is limited to three alternate jerseys, although none are required to have alternates. Uniform wise, the USBL is a classy league. The red and blue surrounding the player represent the National and American Divisions. The USBL just released a new logo for the 2016 season. The first two rounds are both best-of-five matchups and the Championship Series for the John S. Each season, 8 teams reach the postseason-the four best teams from the American and National Divisions. The USBL prides itself in small-market clubs, which it believes sets itself apart from other professional leagues in the US. Today, the USBL has inflated to 20 franchises, with the most recent expansion in 1996 and the next round of 4 coming in 2016. Husley was also elected as a charter member to the USBL Hall of Fame in 1965. Christopher Husley was elected as the first league president, and the Kansas City Browns took the first title. The United States Baseball League was formed in 1930 when teams from Kansas City, Omaha, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Boston, and New York came together and created the first professional sports league in America. Also, none of today's actual leagues exist in this world, so keep that in mind. These histories have no relation, everything's redone, so anything you remember from that thread, it doesn't apply. You'll also notice that a lot of the teams are transferred over from that old league and it may seem like the histories should transfer over as well. If you followed that thread at all, you'll see its revival is under a new name: the United States Baseball League. I've come back with a lot better ideas and cut down the number of teams to pace myself better. It's officially baseball season again, and Ive been working on my fictional baseball league for the past year or so since it sort of died a couple of years ago.
