In need of graphic design help!

Are you a graphic designer? Or maybe you know one. I need help having sweatshirts made for a fictitious sports team as birthday gift my my Mom and Aunt (twins).
If you know my mom or aunt you are duty bound not to share this with either of them. This is a surprise.
The backstory:
When I was very young, my mom and her twin sister played on a recreational basketball team. They managed to find a local company to sponsor the team for uniforms and things but still needed to come up with a team name. They wanted something that related to the town that we lived in (San Diego) and sounded like a sports team. During a brainstorming session among a number of the normal kinds of ideas one would have, my mom blurts out "THE SCRAPPY TUNAS!".
Nobody remembers what name the team actually chose, but everyone remembers the Scrappy Tunas. I think it's time to have some Scrappy Tunas jerseys or sweatshirts made as a celebration of it have been immortalized in the family for so many years.
This is where I need the help. I'm not a graphics person and don't think I'm likely to achieve anything in that arena anytime soon. I'd like to pay someone to do a logo for this team so I can make sweatshirts for the whole family (my mom & siblings + my aunt's family) for their birthday in early July.
Design inspirations are the logo for the San Diego Clippers basketball team and the mascot for Starkist Tuna. I imagine the tuna dribbling a basketball and looking like someone dressed up as an only half street-smart gang member for a production at the local junior theater. (Think S.E. Hinton's books The Outsiders or Rumblefish.)
Obviously this doesn't have a corporate budget behind it. I don't really know what fair compensation for this kind of thing is so I'm open to guidance.
If this might be you, get in touch! This is hilarious and you'll be proud to have been a part of it.
Finally, if you've read this far and think this is a good idea (of course you do), please consider liking or leaving a comment so the facebook propagation algorithm shows this to as many people as possible:
