Okay so a convo in a DM has convinced me to do a thread of the best looking teams in the Cuban Baseball League.

Each team will be scored on 5 categories: logo, colors, jerseys, nickname originality, and nickname's geographic relevance.
Quick history the SNB was founded in 1961 after the revolution. There are 16 teams representing each province and each team is made up of players exclusively from that province. They play 96 games from Aug to Jan followed by a 6 team playoff. And they do use a DH
Isla de la Juventud - Las Piratas (Pirates), also Tronjeros (grapefruit pickers) and Pineros

The province is notable for it history of piracy, pine forests, and citrus farms. Love the colors, logo not so much...

Logo: 3
Color: 8
Jersey: 7
Nickname: 3
Geography: 9

Total: 30
Matanzas - Cocodrilos (Crocodiles)

Crocs live all thru Cuba so the mascot is not that specific to the province, but its more original than pirates. This logo is one of the absolute best tho đŸ”„

Logo: 10
Color: 5
Jersey: 5
Nickname: 6
Geography: 8

Total: 34
Pinar del Rio- Vegueros (Cigar-makers), also Tsunami Verde, and Pativerdes (green socks)

The province produces 70% of the tobacco crop in Cuba and just look at that mascot😍😍😍 Great concept, poor execution

Industriales (La Habana) - Los leones (lions), Los azules (blues)

As the capital city's team, they are essentially the Yankees. Classic logo, great colors, jerseys could use some work, and v basic nicknames
