Victormrey Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Hi everybody! Given the positive feedback I got from my Tampa Bay Rays and Houston Astros tweaks, I decided to go for a full MLB tweak series. I'll make the designs in alphabetical order, alternating between the American League and the National League (e.g. Baltimore Orioles, then Arizona Diamondbacks, then Boston Red Sox, etc.). I'll be designing at least three uniform designs for each team, and for those with major changes (logos, wordmarks, etc.) I'll post those designs as well. Let's start with the Orioles! IMO, the Orioes have one of the best colour schemes in the league, but their uniforms could be improved. The orange and black trimming from the cuffs and pants are changed for a pattern inspired by the Maryland flag, the wordmarks and logos stay the same, except for the sleeve logo, which, given there's already a Maryland reference, becomes the "O's" logo. The new socks design is inspired by the 1901 road uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Is the black section at the end of the sleeve an undershirt? I assume it is, but I wasn't sure from your description. Assuming that to be the case, I like everything but the O's logo on the sleeve. I've never really liked that logo, and I think that's true of most Orioles fans. In addition, it is redundant on the black alt since that jersey is worn with the O's cap.

Yes, all the designs will feature the baselayer on the sleeves. I actually chose the O's logo because I really like it, LOL. Should I stick to the Maryland patch? 3 hours ago, coco1997 said: Nice work! I really dig the flag-inspired piping. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolingian Steamroller Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I like the checked design. It's really unique and the slanted angle really separates it from other uses of checker piping like on the old Cavs or Marquette. I'm curious about the thickness. There sleeve piping looks a little narrower than what's on the pants. Are they intended to be roughly the same width as the current stripes the O's use? Thicker? 1970's Astros thick?

All in all, this still looks really good even with the O's logo.

I wanted the trimming to be as thick as the orange trimming on the current O's uniform. 16 minutes ago, leopard88 said: I would vote for the Maryland patch, but that's a matter of personal preference.

I wante the trimming to be as thick as the orange trimming on the current O's uniform. Beautiful! Just the right width so be noticeable but subtle.

Victormrey Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 How about using the Maryland patch on the road and second alternate uniforms? Off the record: an alt home version I did, featuring brown as a nod to the St. Louis Browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victormrey Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Let's continue with the D'Backs. I think the Diamondbacks are going through a transition time, mixing the Red/Black/Gold scheme with the Red/Black/Teal scheme. I think this makes the team identity look messed up. So, in other to fix this, I decide to take my favourite parts of both styles: I took the red and black cuff trimming from the Red/Black/Gold unis, using the Red/Black/Teal scheme for the logos, wordmarks and the back numbers, while the numbers on the front mainy red. Also, the diamond pattern is gone, the home and red caps become black and red, the home alt cap becomes all-red, and road alt cap becomes all black. Both home and alt home caps feature now the D logo. The home and road unis stay almost the same (apart from the changes aforementioned), the alt home uniform is all-red with black details and the D logo, and the alt road uniform is all-black with red details and the A logo. The Hispanic Heritage uni is gone. As a Spanish native speaker, I can't stand seeing the "Los D'Backs" wordmarks, and "Espaldas de Diamante" wouldn't fit, LOL.

coco1997 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Nice job on Arizona. I've made my thoughts pretty clear by now in the other MLB tweaks threads that I'm no fan of the "D-BACKS" wordmark/nickname, but if you want to keep it that's your choice. I'm also not big on the "D" logo, but for some reason I like it here with the turquoise outline. I also like that you kept the extra dark road gray uni. I know it's pretty unpopular look but I for one think it's a cool idea. I would make the bill of the cap on the black alt red so you don't have more than three caps in the set.

I know most of the people disike the D'Backs and the dark grey, but I really like them! I agree with you about not using three caps, the road alt design has been changed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Much better! The red bill helps break up the black of the jersey, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolingian Steamroller Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I really like the clean looks you've made. My lone complaint is that I personally don't like the "D" logo. I'd rather see the "A" or the snakehead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wated to use it in order not to be repetitive with the "A" logo, and I want the snakehead to stay on the sleeves. I think I'll keep it as it is for the moment, but if more people ask for the same change, I'll do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
