The first team I'd like to spotlight in our Unsung Women’s Baseball & Softball Teams series is the Hawaiian All-Stars. 🌺 #softball #hawaii

The Hawaiian All-Stars girls’ jungle ball team — a Hawaiian blend of softball and baseball — brought island talent and aloha spirit to the mainland, drawing thousands of fans to games. 🥎🌴

Led by August Pacheco, the team featured four Fernandez sisters — Merle, Irene, Grace & Lillian — who shone on the diamond and then traded gloves for hula skirts in joyful postgame shows. 🎶💐

Here are all the updated logos! We added some new ones & tweaked a few designs just to be safe w/ certain elements. & as always — all logos made by me! #baseball #softball #womensbaseball #chicago #newyork #LosAngeles #indiana #NewJersey #connecticut #florida #Japan #NewOrleans
