If you're going to be doing tweaks, here's what I'd like to see:

 

Marlins: I think you could stand to experiment with the striping a little further. 

Red Sox: A different hat option for the Patriots Day uniform. Maybe a red cap with navy "B?"

Rangers: How about a red home alt so that you don't have two alternates of the same color?

Rockies: As @MJD7 suggested, add a yellow outline between the blue and the red on the numbers of the white jersey.

Dodgers: Red front numbers on the blue alt for consistency throughout the set.  

D-Backs: See my above comments. 


Tinkering with the Marlins is going to take some thought but for now I can do the others. I definitely like that red Rangers look:

Favorite concepts by division:

 

NL Central: Pirates (with Milwaukee a close second)

AL Central: White Sox
NL East: Nationals

AL East: Blue Jays

NL West: Padres
AL West: Astros

 

 

I think my favorites went like this:

 

NL Central: Cardinals

AL Central: Twins

NL East: Nationals (Expos close behind)

AL East: Rays

NL West: Giants

AL West: Mariners (Silver version still my favorite)

The Giants look very nice. I prefer the block wordmarks myself, but it's impossible to complain about those scripts.

 

The outtakes are really cool, also. I particularly like the Blue Jays color scheme, as well as the Seahawk-Mariners. The "diamond-back" pattern is also a nice idea, it feels very Nike-esque. It doesn't really go with the other pattern though.

 

This was a very nice series, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next!

Really digging the changes to the Astros. I also like the small tweaks you made to the White Sox as well as the new Patriot's Day cap for Boston.

 

Looking at it again, the solid red cap for the new Rangers alt makes for a somewhat harsh look. How about a blue cap with red bill option instead?

So mercifully, I've revised the Marlins. 

 

Try as I might, I could not get the teal/black/orange scheme to work in the direction I wanted to go. So I took a few cues from live blue marlins and adapted an aqua/gold/blue design with lots of gold trim. I think this is a lot brighter and sunnier while stile being distinct enough from the Rays (which are actually green in this uni-verse) and the Brewers. Given the number of revisions let me know in comments if people are interested in posts of "Finalized" versions like @MJD7 has done. 

 

Enjoy!

NL East kicks off with the return of the Braves feather design and lower case "a."

On the gray road uniforms for the Braves,  I would've made the first letter A in Atlanta larger like the team used  for their road uniforms from 1976 to 1980.

Atlanta Braves, please bring back the Indian Head logo.

Finalized versions of each team are below. I've tried to incorporate as much feedback as I could while still balancing my own personal tastes. For example, I've gone with the gold version of the Mariners even though I prefer the silver but I've also gone with the double outlined "Athletics" alternate for the A's since it really works for me. Starting with the senior circuit by division:
