The "C" monogram is also a horseshoe and works well on its own. So does the horse. I'm not totally settled on these typefaces but I'm too antsy to wait until I narrow it down. I'll probably solidify type choices if I work on a jersey, where a prominent, hand-lettered wordmark might do the trick.

Some reference images I found while researching the Blue Ridge League, which at the beginning of the 20th century was a minor league that included teams from Cumberland, MD, Martinsburg, WV, Waynesboro, PA and a few other cities in this part of Appalachia. I gave myself the project of redesigning the Cumberland Colts logo.
