This is a Franchise project that I have been drawing up since late January when news first broke about Franchise relocation and rebranding. I began going to work on a 30-team rebrand rehaul. Despite feeling a bit disappointed over the Franchise stream yesterday, and the lack of depth to the rebranding option, I still have no reason not to carry out this project for MLB 20, and hopefully continue it for years to come.

This is a look at the 30-team Franchise rebrand roleplay series I've created for MLB 20 the Show. My goal is to incorporate a custom team over all 30 current MLB teams, creating a alternate, fictional based Major Leagues.
For this league, I decided to choose 30 locations that aren't represented in current day MLB, as well as team names that are a little uncommon. Anything I could do to make these teams stand out and be unique, I tried. Although I am sticking to the locations and team names, the jerseys and colorways could potentially change come March. All 30 of these logos are currently in the vault.
Rosters
I have yet to decide what my final plan will be with the rosters. I have a lot of created fictional players from unfinished MLB 19 projects that I could potentially port over. It would take a lot of work, but if I have the time I will try to provide a fully fictional organization wide roster (2,700 players)
League Setup
The league is divided into two sub-leagues, the Eastern Circuit (AL), and the Western Circuit (NL). The divisions are named as followed
Eastern Circuit (AL)
Heres a quick preview of some of the uniform concepts for 2020. All the team namesand locations are to remain the same. Logos and jerseys are subject to change.

Any feedback on this League idea would be greatly appreciated. I am open to any critiques or changes for the uniforms, after all I am one person who put together 30 of them. I have purchased the mvp edition of MLB 20, and I plan on working on making this league come to life during the early access weekend.
