SALT LAKE CITY - Three corpses were found floating in the middle of Great Salt Lake. The bodies have yet to be identified, and a cause of death could not be determined. Fingerprints were found on the bodies, but they seem to be a type of pattern that forensic scientists could not identify.
Somewhat confoundingly, the bodies were wearing baseball jerseys, which seem to be the new uniforms of the new AA team in town. The autopsies also discovered tattoos, which seemed to be incredibly fresh, spelling out some of the design rationale behind the name and jerseys. From what it seems, the name, Speed Demons, is based on the land speed record cars at the Bonneville Salt Flats. The hexagon pattern is based on the patterns in the salt at Bonneville, as well as representing Utah's nickname of the Beehive State. Finally, the third body's tattoo claims that there was going to be a logo of an actual demon (whatever "actual demon" means) wearing a racing helmet and goggles, but the ghost of Brigham Young wouldn't allow it. It seems they've repaid the favor by allowing him to model all three jerseys. You can see our mockup below:

Re: AltLB Design Thread
I'm really digging the salt flats pattern on those jerseys, IDM!
But now, it's time for the Bison stadium reveal! Cox Ballpark is an open air stadium in the Bricktown District of Oklahoma City. Though the original Bricktown Field was not that old, it had few of the amenities AltLB fans desired. At the completion of the 2020 season, the old Bricktown Field was demolished to make way for the new stadium. For the 2021 season the Bison played just down the road in Tulsa at the Barons' home stadium. New owner Dan O'Mac reached out to companies based or headquartered in Oklahoma City, as he wanted to keep it local. He quickly struck a deal with Cox Enterprises, who had their local headquarters in Oklahoma City, to secure a long term naming rights for the new stadium. Although officially known as Cox Ballpark, Dan attempted to keep it a "Bricktown" stadium, focusing on a new, updated brick facade exterior made with local bricks. 
The interior of the stadium focuses on seating behind the plate and along the sidelines, with few seats in the outfield. This is to allow the jumbo screen in left field as well as views across the Oklahoma City skyline.
Finally, no ballpark can go without the food. We worked with locally based Sonic to open many stands throughout the ballpark, so it's never too far to get a burger, hot dog, fries, or, most importantly in the Oklahoma City heat, a cold drink including the Sonic slushes. A full-sized dine-in Sonic is also in the concourse that is open every day as well, with windows to view the field. Great for gameday or for just having some food at the ballpark. We also have a number of options where you can get great food and help local non-profits. Although the cooks are employees of team, local non-profits can staff the stands and get to keep 80% of the profits from that stand. You'll regularly see staffers for local schools to support their athletic and band programs, the local Scout troops, and many others. This initiative is in place because, again, the Bison are part of this city, and want to give back. We also have a pair of locations in the stadium selling barbecue from just across the street at Earl's Rib Palace. And, of course, we have two local restaurants supplying their fare with vegan and vegetarian options, The Wedge Pizzeria from a couple blocks away and Fuzzy's Taco Shop from just next door to Earl's.
So come on down to Bricktown, enjoy your time at Cox Ballpark, and between the baseball and the food, you'll definitely be leaving satisfied.

The Atlanta Firebirds have announced their A Affiliate:
Chattanooga, TN is home to the very first "Moon Pie" so their branding is taken from that term. The uniforms are the same style as the Firebirds as well.

Did you use Oakland's font on the chest? I think the Atlanta franchise accidentally paying respect to the basketball franchise in their town by using the same font as the team in the AltLB who is owned by the individual that also owns Atlanta's basketball team for their minor league team in TN is flattering. That's some true Nike talk right there.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 7, 2022
Coquitlam, BC, Canada - A little more than a week ago, Bubba Sports and Entertainment chairman Combat Baby made several important revelations to other AHSylum inmates pertaining to the Lumberjacks organization, and now, it is the duty of this user (aka me) to relay them to the AHS community at large:
- Bubba himself (aka this user) will serve as general manager of the Vancouver Lumberjacks.
- Neal Pionk has been reassigned from his previous position as head coach of the AltBA's Omaha Barnstormers (also owned by BSE) to a new position in the BSE family - manager of the Lumberjacks. This has caused a shakeup of the Barnstormers staff - more info in a separate post.
- The Lumberjacks' minor league clubs will be based in Victoria, BC (AAA), Kelowna, BC (AA) and Kamloops, BC (A). Names and branding will be announced at a later date.

Re: AltLB Design Thread
Ahhemm, testing testing. Its BDoof here, not sure if ~~ make it ~~ to you all. I ~~ is this ~~ on? punch. There that seems better
As I was saying, after getting back from vacation I realized I filled no spots on my team. For manager, I am hiring the long thought lost, Neo Connie "Neo" Mack v2.0. For ass coach, we are hiring Amaury Nolasco, best known for his role in "Benchwarmers". For our backup Ass. Coach we hired a near-senile old man off the street by the name of Peter Rosé, we're not sure who he is but he really wanted to join the team.
For our stadium, oh boy is it a work of art. As everyone knows, Mexico City was built upon Tenochtlitlan, the ancient capital of the Aztec empire, which itself was built in the middle of the lake. The engineering of said ancient city is still seen as amazing to this day. To honor the legacy of that city we knew we would need an even more impressive stadium. Thus we present to you, ESTADIO VOLADOR! The Flying Stadium, yes you heard that. A stadium that flies ABOVE the ancient ruins of Tenochtlitlan.
For our mascot, we decided to rescue a real-life Jaguar that was previously held at the Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, formerly owned by Joe Exotic. But since we can't really have it around the kids, we kidnapped Jaxson de Ville to be our child-response mascot. With the new name, Jaxson de Mexico.
For our affiliates we have a lovely crop of teams such as
AAA Pueblo Pueblos
AA Chihuahua Chihuahuas
A Cancún Canners

Re: AltLB Design Thread
The Atlanta Firebirds have announced their AA Affiliate:
Savannah, GA
Today, the Atlanta Firebirds unveiled the branding of the Savannah Spiders. The name and branding come from Savannah being known as the most haunted city in the country. This is reflected through the use of spiders, spider webs, and a coffin.
The home uniform is mainly white and orange with a spider web pattern on the shoulders, whereas the road is taking on a Noir theme to really add some spooky flare to any team the Spiders play against. The alternate is an orange fauxback with silver accents featuring a new cap logo.

Re: AltLB Design Thread
It's time to play
patent pending.
Here's the board:
With one question, you should be able to narrow down the field to four men, who will be the Atoms' GM, manager, hitting coach, and pitching coach, and who all share a single common criterion. Good luck!
If you're having trouble identifying the faces, here are all their names:
Kerry Wood, Ken Griffey, Jr., John Farrell, Sandy Koufax, Joe Maddon, Nomar Garciaparra
Mariano Rivera, David Ross, Alex Cora, Dave Dombrowski, Ben Zobrist, Dusty Baker
Theo Epstein, Carl Yastrzemski, Roger Clemens, Fred Lynn, Dustin Pedroia, Sammy Sosa
Randy Johnson, David Ortiz, Lou Piniella, Fergie Jenkins, Chaim Bloom, Pedro Martinez
