Starting in 2026, the AltLB will be featuring one International game a year. As this was a suggestion of Gemini owner JamHeronArk, the Minnesota Gemini will be hosting the first game in Berlin, Germany.

Assuming this goes well, next year when you fill out the AltLB Interest Sheet, there will be a section for the International game. If you're interested in hosting the game, you'll be able to fill that out and it will go to a league vote. You can choose any location and reason you'd like, whether it is done with synergy between your AltLB and AltLiga teams, a city that is closely linked with your AltLB city or team name, or just because you really want to have a baseball game played in that city, the choice is yours. You may submit every year for this game, but you may only host the game once every 5 years.

Once the host team and city are selected, I will work with the owner of the team to let them know which teams would be available for them to play against and they will select from there and I will slot it into the schedule around the All-Star Break.

This season's international game will be played in, as I previously mentioned, Berlin, Germany with the Minnesota Gemini hosting the San Diego Pandas in Week 16 from July 6th to July 12th. Teams will wear standard uniforms for the matchup.

This is where you all come into play. We need a logo for the event and patch that would be on the jersey for the game. The patch can be either the same as the full logo or a simplified version. 
Requirements:
Full Logo - the name of the event, "International Series". Date(s), your choice on entire week or just the first day. Identification of the teams participating (San Diego Pandas and Minnesota Gemini)
Patch - the only requirement for the patch is the name of the event, International Series.

Although not required, something that indicates the location of the game (Berlin, Germany) is recommended. Same with the AltLB logo or name.

The plan for this is to have the designs released the day before the regular season start date, so to allow for voting, the due date for designs is Sunday, March 15th, 2026 at 10pm Central.
