I would be in favor of two different yet distinct jerseys for the Indians-

Home- Indians Script with Wahoo hat- blue and red. Wahoo on sleeve

Home Alternate- navy Indians Script jersey with navy and red wahoo hat. Wahoo on sleeve

Road- current Cleveland grey with wahoo replaced on the sleeve with a baseball wearing wahoos headress. (Might not be the best, but could tie in all three jerseys slightly.

Road Alt- cursive Cleveland script on navy jersey, baseball with wahoo headress.

Both road jerseys will be worn with either a navy baseball in a headress cap (like the patch) or an all navy C cap (current block letter)

Indians would have 4 jerseys and three caps. Keep wahoo for the home crowd, the baseball Indian for the road.

Slowly work the road alt into the home schedule-

Eventually push the baseball and headdress.

Redesign Around that in 5 years. Keep wahoo in the mix with one hat for "heritage days"

I sort of like the idea of a headress for a baseball

I'd like to see the Diamondbacks overhaul their home white jersey. I'm a big fan of the alt black with the not seen enough black cap with the A logo. Translate that alt black over to the home white with the black cap and I think you'd have a winner.

Something like this then, no?

Since a lot of teams are going back to their roots.

San Diego should go back to brown/yellow and old swinging padre logo. Brewers back to the mb glove logo. White Sox... although they are in their Shoeless Joe's the old swinging batter?

Mariners back to their trident M?

If the Brewers go back to a BiG-era inspired look, the Mariners should keep what they have now. Maybe I could see them ditching teal for neon green like the Seahawks and Sounders use, but for the most part, they have a modern classic on their hands that goes hand in hand with the city and team's identity. No reason for them to go back to a color scheme that more people associate with the Brewers at this point.

I rank them in the order of 2, 1, 3, 4.

I'd like to see the Reds with no drop shadow or outline. We're not watching on black and white tv anymore, it's not really necessary.

The good thing is that it's not that noticeable on the road gray jerseys. It's completely unnecessary on them, though. I did a quick mock-up of the home jersey without the drop shadows, however, and that font doesn't look quite right without something to separate it from the jersey color. The white does that nicely on the gray jerseys, but obviously not on the white ones.

I'm not sure what the solution is, assuming they're going to insist on keeping that font. I would start by greatly minimizing the thickness of the drop shadow and see how that looks.

I've always wondered if the Reds drop shadow would be tolerated more if it was navy instead of black. The team does at least have a history with navy to some degree and even won a championship wearing a navy-heavy uniform.

There's two things wrong with the shadow IMO.

1, it's around the outline. I think a shadow should either be part of the outline (so they'd have a single black outline that was shadowed), or just on the raw single-colored number. For example, see the 49ers 94 throwbacks, Lakers classic, NY Rangers.

2, not that a shadow is a "modern" design (teams have been using shadows since the 40s at least), but in this case it clashes with the olde-timey number style. If it was a block font or modified block, it'd look better.

So in their case, I'd either keep the number font, but make the outline solid white or solid black with no shadow, or switch to a less gimmicky font, and then go with the outline and / or outline shadow combo.

Those would all be big downgrades.

Modernize it and you've got a professional looking logo.

I don't know- those seams make me think "The Joker" was trying to rob a casino in the most racist way possible.
