The Detroit Spirits are named after the statue called the "Spirit of Detroit" depicting a man holding a golden bronze sphere. The uniform heavily inspired by art deco design because of Detroit's many art deco style buildings.

Welcome to the boards, Anders! I like what you've got so far. I will say these (at least to me, a relative cricket layperson) feel very out there for cricket uniforms, especially in 1933. Like H-Town I'm confused as to what we're looking at - are these the original 1933 unis or are these present-day? Your initial post sort of implies that we're going to be stepping through the history, but I don't think anybody would be using a gradient in the great depression. Looking forward to see where you take this series!

I should've mentioned that these are modern day uniforms. I wanted to explain why these teams have somewhat old style names like the zephyrs or spirits.

The Buffalo Billmen is a play on the Buffalo Bills football team. A bill is a medieval hooked weapon and a soldier who used it was called a billman.
