Texas and Philly going 0-66 is quite the change... oh, wait.

The NDDL West looks very good! Good to see Colorado getting a second chance at Driveball, even if it's at a lower level. Fort Worth looks like someone just erased the R on the RedBacks logo and scribbled FTW on there, but it'll work. 

The Grapes look beutiful! Would work for a baseball team as well, very creative. The Bombshells, well it's interesting name and a interesting logo, but again, i'll take it. Can't wait for the rest of the league. 

Fresno is a very good, classic minor league look. The FTW monogram is clean, and, while not exciting, achieves what you hoped it would. Neither the Silver Kings nor the Bombshells really stand out to me, but they look fine.

Love the Grapes whole look, their logo looks like it could have been around for ages, instant classic with a fun name

Finishing up the NDDL West today:



Iowa Lights
Affiliated with: Minnesota Lights

Between the Cubs, Wolves, and Wild, Iowa has a strong tradition of stealing names from major league teams. I didn’t want to break that here, but the northern lights aren’t as prevalent in Iowa as they are in Minnesota. Luckily, I found the High Trestle Trail Bridge in Madrid, IA, and it was a pretty smooth road from there.

Kansas City Riff
Affiliated with: Nashville Fugitives

Yes, I’m recycling one of my AltBA submissions here, but I actually had it here before I suggested it there, so I’m kind of glad it lost. The name comes from Kansas City jazz, which heavily revolves around riffs. The logo, meanwhile, is based on the famous 18th and Vine sign. The music theme also ties it in well with Music City.

Phoenix Fronds
Affiliated with: Miami Palms

It seemed only fair that dashball would return to Phoenix, and maybe it’s a little cruel that it’s a minor league team affiliated with the very team that left, but at the same time, it felt like the right thing to do, if that makes sense? I changed the name to Fronds, mostly so that things would be less confusing. Other than that, this is all pretty familiar stuff.

Utah Flamingos
Affiliated with: Chicago Frost

This one is a little bit weird, but there used to be a flamingo named Pink Floyd that hung out around the Great Salt Lake, and I thought Flamingos would be a fun identity for a minor league squad. The three hexagons in the back represent a honeycomb as well as a sego lily, Utah’s state flower, which is depicted on the Salt Lake City flag (as well as fitting in nicely with Chicago’s motif).

Alexa, play "Living on a Prayer" by Smashmouth. C&C appreciated!

Iowa Lights -  not bad! Funky logo, reminds me of an old team in one of my old Baseball leagues called the New York Squares. (Yes you read that right)

KC Riff - Great name and logo! Again, very Baseballish/Traditional logo. Great name two, would also work for a New Orleans team.

Phoenix Fronds - Happy to see Dashball back in my state! Great logo, reminds me of the old Phoenix Palms logo. Great colors too.

Utah Flamingos - Hate the name, love the logo. Never knew about that Flamingo named Pink Floyd that romed in Utah. Logo looks pretty good though.

Oh and livin on a prayer is Bon Jovi not Smashmouth.
