coco1997 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Love that gold alt, but what if you made the "KC" blue? I think the gold crown would be more effective if it contrasted with the KC. Everything else looks excellent, as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Sorry I'm a litttle late, but I think it'd look good for Cleveland if you utilize the three-stripe pattern on the pants throughout the rest, much like the Cavaliers. Detroit and Kansas City both look great, looking forward to the Twins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried out swapping the gold and blue on the crowned Royals and yep it definitely looks better this way. Cheers to @coco1997 for the suggestion.

It appears on the collar, waistband, and the socks are intended to emulate it. Maybe, it needs a little more work flow better. Side note: I considered doing a wine/gold/navy version as an ode to the Lebrons but couldn't get it to work. I'll revisit that when I can spare a moment.

Carolingian Steamroller Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 Twins today to finish the AL Central. I liked the idea of the Twins emulating another Minneapolis area club. I considered a maroon and silver scheme inspired by the Gophers but ultimately discovered that the classic Timberwolves looked best. I was literally in the middle of completing it when @MJD7 posted his blue and green Twins. My version is a little different. I used the combination classic script, with the slight tweak that with no more placket to cross I could bring the "i" and the "n" a little closer together. I've made heavy use of silver in this design, even using silver for the road uniform. As a modern touch I added center panels to both the collar and waistband, something prevalent in basketball but not in baseball. C&C welcomed as always! Enjoy!

coco1997 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Very nice job on the Twins! I'm glad you went with that color scheme. It looked great on @MJD7's concept and it looks equally great on yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJD7 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 The Twins look great! I like that you were still able to incorporate the dropshadow in a tasteful way. The Braves look really nice as well, I like the striping consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolingian Steamroller Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 Having reached an impasse on the Marlins, I'm skipping to the Mets: This was a compromise. I hate the combination of pins and racing stripes of the 80's Mets. So in an effort to modernize the racing stripes I've dropped the pinstripes. I like the 1987 "New York." It blends better with the home script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolingian Steamroller Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 Significant changes for the Phillies: I really don't like the pairing of pinstripes and racing stripes (see the Mets above) but I wanted to keep some of the spirit of the Fightin' Phils alive. So I opted to keep the pins, add red sleeves and put white cuffs on them to somewhat mimic the effect while bringing the look into the modern era. I've used contrast sleeves because in an age of pullovers (oddly enough the Phillies never wore pullovers or sansabelts), I doubt the vest would survive and I liked the way the WBC jerseys looked. I've also opted for the 1940's style "P" and "Phillies" since its slightly askew angle has great appeal. In my mind the powder blue uniform is the official alternate and the royal blue version is the full-time road uniform but Phillies fans please feel free to swap them around in your own estimation. C&C as always welcomed! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Great job on the Phillies! I was going to point out the off-kilter "P" and "Phillies" until I read your description and saw that it was intentional. This may be a dumb question, but was there ever an MLB team that wore a pullover jersey with contrasting sleeves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 The Phillies look really nice, the only suggestion I would make is to make the color scheme red & powder blue, and add a red alternate. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to like the maroon myself, but I think the other shades of red you mentioned would look fantastic as well, whatever works for you I think is best.

I think if you go any darker than the current shade, it wouldn't contrast well with the road uniform. Anyway, looking forward to Miami/Washington!
