Christian Legault Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I wanted to try a new sport for concepts, but the only sport I intensely follow is hockey. So I'm going to try a series. Please note I've never made a baseball concept in my life, so if there are things i should know, please tell me. (I'm not going to include a grey uniform for every team, mainly because i don't think they will work for certain teams)Here is anaheim.Here is Arizona Twitter: @lestoplegault - Email: Christiantlegault@gmail.com Blog: http://legaultdesigns.blogspot.ca/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderbread Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Make your numbers the same styleOn the ducks the whites have a drop shadow and the orange one doesn't And for Phoenix the reds have a single outline, and the whites have a doubleAlso you need a grey away uniform for bothAlso in baseball normally the patches are on the left sleeve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonderbread Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Well its kind of an important part of baseball to know which team is home any away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevsim1 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 It's a concept league. In this concept league, I suppose the the coloured jersey is home/away, light jersey for the other...Anyways, I will echo the number statement for the Ducks. The Yotes, I'm kinda impartial. Also, I realise this is a small sample of what you're gonna do, but pants stripes can go all the way up the pants and I'd like to see that in some of these. Great start!

Christian Legault Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Well its kind of an important part of baseball to know which team is home any awayJust like in hockey, the dark unis will be home, and the whites will be away......

Morgan33 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Well its kind of an important part of baseball to know which team is home any awayJust like in hockey, the dark unis will be home, and the whites will be away......I've never understood why baseball uses grey variations to differentiate between Home and Away. Grey against white hardly provides a lot of contrast. Much prefer what you are doing Christian. The concepts look fantastic so far! Can't wait to see what you do for Dallas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And grey isn't an exciting color. I'll probably limit grey to carolina, and the la kings.For Dallas, I'm not sure what to use, the old Dallas script or the new star logo in the corner of the chest Twitter: @lestoplegault - Email: Christiantlegault@gmail.com Blog: http://legaultdesigns.blogspot.ca/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitecapsForLife11 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I'd go with the logo for Dallas, seeing as they are modern now. Love how there is no grey, colored jerseys stands out more. Can't wait to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capn89 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 These are quite sharp. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with the rest of the league. Do you have plans to do a throwback type uniform for teams that have a history of various looks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I might include various 3rd jerseys for some teams, if it be throwbacks or just regular 3rds. I almost did a purple for Anaheim with there old script but didn't. Anyways working on Boston.

Grey against white hardly provides a lot of contrast. I think it had something to do with grey hiding dirt better. It was harder for teams way back then to clean their uniforms on the road so they wore grey instead of white. https://fandfsports.wordpress.com/Hockey Uniform Templates (Gimp/Photoshop) http://seanff.deviantart.com/gallery/52790653/Devious-Folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner8ball Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 One word. Awesome. The striping on Phoenix is awesome. I'd buy the Coyotes and Ducks jerseys. Can't wait for more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Legault Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Thank You roadrunner. I skipped boston, just because I'm having template trouble when i make the jerseys black. (can't see stitching)In the mean time, here is Buffalo. I kept this one pretty traditional, il try and get my creativity on with calgary.

Morgan33 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Outstanding! Good choice modelling the set after the fantastic 40th anniversary jersey. Royal Blue trumps Navy by a country mile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean F&F Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Great work on the blue jersey. Love the sleeve striping. That Buffalo wordmark works really well on a baseball jersey. https://fandfsports.wordpress.com/Hockey Uniform Templates (Gimp/Photoshop) http://seanff.deviantart.com/gallery/52790653/Devious-Folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-ROY Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Great work, Christian. I also think that having a colored jersey instead of grey is the way to go. It's probably the only thing I don't understand about baseball. Anyway if you decide to do Boston, they had a script logo from the 1920s. It's in rough shape and unfortunately, it's the only version I could find. Â Â Â Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Legault Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Thanks everyone! Yeah Taylor that might be a good idea. I'll play around.

Dan O'Mac Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I'm not a huge fan of the number on the white Buffalo jersey. For the most part, the number is always lower on the jersey, on the left, under the logo/wordmark. I like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During long roadtrips, the grey jerseys would somewhat 'hide' the accumulated dirt. When they got home they would wash them. I'm sure they smelled awful.
