Well that'll go down as a bogey on the scorecard... But let's take a look at it. I personally think the larger wordmark works better on the BP tops than the uniform. It feels a little less fauxback-y to me but I'll let you guys see what you think about it. And since we're here: Home & Away - I think I've finally come around or have at least turned the corner to the name change. The G logo still leaves a lot to be desired but I don't quite have a solve for that that I like enough. So anyways. I felt that even though the Cleveland franchise has over 100 years of history, that we could go a little more modern with it, but ever so slightly. Headwear - No major changes, other than the all navy hat getting dropped from the rotation. Jerseys - Despite the history, Cleveland is the first team in the series to drop grey. It was going to be Boston, but I felt more at ease dropping Boston's navy tops. Some actual stripes join the party, with the single color striping going away in favor of outlined triple stripes that terminate at the ends like the wings of the Guardians of Traffic statues have. The Winged G goes on the right sleeves. The new number font sticks around, but the NOB font changes to a serif font that I felt fit the vibes a little more. Pants/Socks - Nothing crazy, matter of fact nothing going on the pants at all. Socks have the same style stripes as the jerseys. Hanger Effect - Also nothing crazy, STAND GUARD in red/white. Alternate - Headwear - No changes. Jersey - Design flips to a red jersey, with the wordmarks going away for a logo - number combo not seen on a Cleveland jersey since the 60's. Pants/Socks - Only real change is the socks turn red. The Land - (I promise not every team is getting a vintage white 4th jersey) - Cleveland digs back into their history, basing it off my Reverse Retro design which itself is based off of the 1933-1935 uniforms. Headwear - all navy returns to the field, with a G based off wordmarks of the era. The batting helmet goes red, based off the team's use of red hats in the past, and I used it on the RR design and I liked the way it looked. Jersey - vintage white with a full color placket design. Same G as the hat, both having a small drop shadow based on the one-year only uniform from 1970. Joining the design are the late 80's to mid 90's shoulder stripes that I swear were in a movie somewhere. Pants/Socks - vintage white, navy belt with red loops. Socks go to navy stirrups with solid red stripes. Batting Practice: Hat - Red/navy with the Flying G. Tops - A little less designed than Boston, but putting the stripes on there made it look too Adidas so these tops stay pretty basic. Player number moves a little lower on the sleeve. The Flying G on the chest, STAND GUARD down by the hip. C&C welcome!

I figured you meant the more modern BP tops with the wordmark logo treatment so I tried it out on both colorways. Also tried out the fauxback sox logo on the hat with the Fenway jersey. It was the uniforms that inspired your Red Sox jersey that gave me the inspiration for the vintage approach, but wanted to do something different than the Boston sock logo from that era. The version I use is built in Illustrator and at the moment that's the only version it exists in at the moment. When the series wraps, I'll have a PSD version done and both will be made available.

Football - Howard U is really one of the first schools in the FCS that I knew existed but beyond that I really didn't have too much off the dome to work on. I knew they are one of the few schools at the FCS level to be affiliated with the Jordan Brand and they had a huge upset over UNLV but that's where my knowledge ended. After doing my work, there was one thing I wanted to change almost immediately and that was the grey. They use a lighter shade of silver and so does Hampton. Really no issue, except that Howard has a nice unique grey already. So the teams switch over to that shade. The team's existing stripe carries over, but now ends in a horn point (sorry Texans, I've had this idea since 2021). The number font keeps the spurs but changes ever so slightly. I also went with the leaping Bison logo on the two helmets, which work better IMO than the static bison head. I tried shoe-horning the stripe onto the pants, but it fell flat in every attempt so plain pants with the logo on the side. Hockey - Howard joins NC Central in the creation of a hockey team, but as I found out, Howard U is in the process of starting a ice skating team, becoming the first HBCU do so. Pretty cool if you ask me. As for the hypothetical hockey team, the horn stripe ends up sitting much closer to the numbers than a traditional hockey stripe would. As a result, I added a second stripe at the bottom of the sleeves. Bison head logo anchors the chest. Alternate uniform swaps out the second stripe on the sleeves for a solid navy stripe, and moves the hem stripe up and makes it a chest stripe with the full Bison + Leaping logo. Silver helmets and navy pants for all the uniforms. Baseball - So Howard currently has no baseball presence. I can't find much information on their varsity team or when it shuttered. Their club team's Facebook page's last post was in 2013. So for the most part we are starting from scratch. but it's a baseball uniform and I kept some traditional conventions in place. It's seemingly a paradox when you look at the basketball uniforms that I created a new wordmark for, but I didn't do the same because I didn't like how the current ones fit on a baseball uniform. So I went with the Bison head opposite a player number, with the horn stripe on the sleeves. Pants have the unencumbered stripe down the side. Alternate tops go to a v-neck with a 70's Blue Jays style logo setup. Headgear is navy/grey with the Bison head. The white hat is about the one thing I could find from their baseball history, which was worn in the late 50s. Basketball - Finally with basketball, like I mentioned up above, the biggest thing is the newish wordmarks, which keep the spurred look going but fit better on a basketball jersey. The design pretty much falls in line with the rest of the uniforms. Full stripes on the tops, with the horn stripe finding its place on the shorts around the legs. Alternate jersey loses the arm stripes and uses the Bison wordmark. C& C welcome!

So I've been living in Florida for about a year now and I got to take in a Rays game last April and this spring, finally got to experience Spring Training. What changed between April and now? Well Nike and Fanatics have apparently ruined baseball jerseys (and even though I work for that devil company, the jersey fiasco had nothing to do with me I assure you.) But that aside, between getting to watch baseball and see teams and the uniforms in action, and @MJD7's fantastic Cooperstown Collection thread (check it out here, a lot of great work!), I felt like taking another stab at the MLB uniforms after 7-ish years since my first attempt. The title is a bit misleading because the designs themselves are good, but the production and other elements aren't. So what do I plan on doing? Well my first series was my first true attempt at baseball uniforms and it was alright, but not great. But I liked the forward thinking ideas I tried out on a few teams and I think I tried doing too much but I still want to move designs into the future but respect the traditions of baseball. So, as I always do, the ground rules: Eliminating Nike's 4+1 rule, which in conjunction is also eliminating the City Connect slot, but teams are going to be limited to 4 jerseys. Like my NBA series, there will be home, away, and alternate uniforms. The fourth slot is totally up to team discretion (straight throwback, fauxback, TATC, City Connect, take your pick) Grey uniforms remain optional. The old heads might disagree but I think we're reaching a point where more teams will start shedding them. I'm trying to limit hats and unique hat designs. Before you jump on this one, I'm talking about things like the Mariners having a navy/navy hat & a navy/teal hat. Just pick one. BP "jerseys" are going away, which seems to be the way the league is trending, instead replaced by a 3/4 sleeve shirt. Teams will now have collar decorations. Something I saw MJD7 doing in his aforementioned thread, using the Cooperstown Collection branding and the vintage Nike swoosh was something I liked a lot and I wanted to include that on the throwback and vintage designs. So the modern batterman logo on those uniforms would be replaced with the vintage batterman from the CC logo and the Nike swoosh would also swap. I think that's it for the ground rules I was working with. Now for the team order, which I continuously find new ways to do: Teams will be posted in order of oldest perfect game to latest, which gets us 1-14. After the perfect game teams, same thing for the rest but with no-hitters. American League AL East: Blue Jays | Orioles | Rays | Red Sox | Yankees - AL Central: Guardians | Royals | Tigers | Twins | White Sox - AL West: Angels | Astros | Athletics | Mariners | Rangers National League NL East: Braves | Marlins | Mets | Nationals | Phillies - NL Central: Brewers | Cardinals | Cubs | Pirates | Reds - NL West : Diamondbacks | Dodgers | Giants | Padres | Rockies Alright, I've talked enough, first up: Home & Away - A classic start but not without some changes. After ending up at two Red Sox ST games, I came to one major conclusion: I don't like their City Connect uniforms. they're just too different when viewed next to the iconic red and navy. But the CC uniform sticks around in a couple different ways. Hat - no changes to the hat. adding a red brim was fine for the BP hats, but full time looked too much like Cleveland. Jerseys - the crux of the jerseys stay very much the same. But the white jerseys have so much more life than the drab greys and the biggest thing was adding more life to those uniforms. biggest additions is the Sox logo on the sleeves of both the home and away now, placket piping added to the navy jersey. the double stripe from the CC uniforms is added to the sleeves of both uniforms. Pants/Socks - Nothing too crazy, single color stripe, red on the white pants, navy on the greys. Solid red socks & striped socks modified from the pullover era uniforms. Hanger Effect - using the City Connect colors, BOSTON STRONG with the 617 area code in the middle. Alternate - Hat - A red hat returns to Fenway for the first time since the late 70's but uses the 2024 Spring Training Hat color, with white taking on more of the leg work. Jersey - recolored version of the white home tops, but with similar conventions to the hat. Pants/Socks - same as white jersey Fenway Heritage - not my most creative name for a uniform, but I felt it captured the spirit of the uniform as a whole. Hat - the throwback B comes from the 1936-1945, coinciding with the start of Ted Williams' career in Boston. Jersey - the tops combine the pullover look from the 70s, with skinny triple stripes on the collar and sleeves with a new old logo that blends the 1931-1932 sleeve logo with a font, similar to the wordmarks of the turn of the century Red Sox team, all on a vintage white base. Pants/Socks - these also take from the pullover era, with a faux waistband design. Striped socks go away in favor of a stirrup set. Hanger Effect - Boston Strong goes away for a simple Green Monster shade of green with "THE OLDE TOWNE TEAM". Batting Practice - Hat - Like I mentioned, I didn't like the navy/red look for full time use but it worked for BP, with the Sox logo on the front Tops - navy and red options, both have the double stripe on the ends of the sleeves, number on the right sleeve. Navy has the Sox logo on the front, Red has the fauxback logo. I've talked a lot, now I want to hear what you guys think!

Football - If there's any team or teams in this part of the series that don't need modern uniforms, that would be the Ivy League teams, and leading us off is the oldest "institution of higher learning in the United States" and one of the progenitors of the college football game many of us have fallen in love with. Now like I said, nothing crazy modern but that doesn't mean they're immune to changes. For starters, the updated branding does stick around, with the black outline returning to the H. But more importantly is what returns to the football uniforms, mostly the team's triple stripe, which had existed in on the crimson shells since 1964. The same stripe can now be found on the sleeve cuffs, a bit of a homage to the 1968 Harvard team, famous for the declaration "Harvard Beats Yale 29-29". Finishing us off on football is the same stripe also returning to the pants. Also for the first time, a black alternate shell is added, giving the option for a full blackout uniform. Hockey - Much like football, there's a lot here that stays the same. The biggest changes are to the sleeves, which now fold into the same look as football, but much bigger obviously. Added to the sleeves are a smaller copy of the stripes. Despite it feeling like a tradition for their uniforms, I removed the front numbers in favor of the H-shield. I didn't like the look with the newer numbers under the arch. Other than that, everything comes over from football or previous real life existence and like football, the team now has the option for a black alternate uniform. Baseball - If you can believe it, Harvard's baseball team predates their football team by almost 10 years. That little factoid helped inspire the new home uniforms for the Crimson. Where football uses the cream/gold/tan color for a pants option color, I thought it would make for a unique home uniform for the baseball team, which all fall into the newish look. Biggest change really is the single stripe becomes a triple. The wordmarks also feature an arch, which I think works better than the fully horizontal they currently are. Crimson road tops, which come with a set of white pants. Black alternate that replaces the wordmark with the full boat H & shield. Two sets of headgear, four total sets of socks: sold black and crimson, or black and crimson with small stripes at the top. A white jersey is present in their rotation, but because it's the same design as the home and away its just tucked behind the crimson jersey. Basketball - And closing us out is basketball and out of the four sports, their uniforms needed the most help. Nothing overtly wrong with them from a design sense, but that's also what was wrong with them, there was nothing on them but names, numbers and a wordmark. When I was done with them, the design bears a recolored appearance to a professional basketball team based roughly 15 minutes away from the campus with no traffic. All in all, a very traditional basketball uniform set, also including a black alternate, which in this case, isn't a first for the hardwood team. I feel like I'm repeating this every four teams, but the website is getting worked on, just haven't gotten time to finish up the updates and hit publish. In the meanwhile, C&C is appreciated on the last bunch of teams!

Yes and no. The Browns helmet logo is their primary, but every team has a side view and a 3/4 view in the same graphic style, per our logo guides at work. However we can't use the side view and 3/4 view for the other 31 teams. We have use the newer Revo Speed helmets if we want to use a helmet in a design.

good. the less I have to see of those fauxbacks for the M's the better.

Happy Easter! I managed to get a little sidetracked, trying to get an MLB series set up and started and that took some time building out an updated template and layout. But I certainly haven't forgotten about my work here. Football - We double dip in the SWAC, with Texas Southern. (It's also the 2nd of 3 consecutive red teams, which means I need to have a lengthy conversation my list randomizer), but in a similar vein to Alabama A&M, classic felt like a good approach for the Tigers, which in this case starts with classic UCLA/Colts stripes on the home and away uniforms. The same stripe can be found on the helmets, which come in maroon and white options. Pants match their jerseys. I didn't want to go with just a color swap on the grey alternates, but wanted to keep the classic feel. So the stripes move to the sleeves and are joined by a subtle tiger stripe that fades in towards the tops of the sleeve caps. Hockey - Another first timer to the good ole hockey game, the Tigers also opt for traditionally styled uniforms, but unlike LSU who in the last series got shoulder style stripes on their hockey jersey, I strayed away from that, going for the stripes on the sleeves and hem, and the added shoulder stripes, matched on the white jersey with an added shoulder yoke. The alternate functions like the football one, with the tiger stripe pattern now fading up from the bottom of the jersey itself and the sleeves. Maroon equipment for all the uniforms. Baseball - Somewhat of a paradox when baseball is one of the more forward facing sets. I felt like vests were a good way to go for the baseball team. Can't really explain why, but I just liked the result. Went with one set of headwear, all maroon. The jerseys get the stripes around the neck and arm holes, a lot like the Pirates' Clemente-era jerseys. All three sets of undershirts feature the fading tiger stripes, and would be interchangeable within the uniforms. I also kept the maroon pants the team currently wears. Two sets of socks, solid maroon or striped maroon. Basketball - Finishing up on the hardwood, the basketball uniforms fully merge the traditional with the modern, with the side stripes on the jersey and shorts blending the fading pattern within the stripe. Texas Southern sandwich on the home and away, this time in a block font. They've tried it with a script with a less than satisfying result. Grey alternate gets the abbreviated TSU. C&C Welcome! for those that celebrate, enjoy the holiday!

Gonna have to rethink my Mariners idea a little bit now

Happy March Madness! Boise State is still winless in 10 tries in the tournament but at least that's better than... no one actually. Anyways: Football - This is a may or may not be a first for me, but I can remember maybe one other time that an individual player inspired a look for a uniform, let alone for a whole(ish) athletic department. In our case here with Alabama A&M, I believe its Joshua Williams from the late 2010's who in one picture was seen with 7 or 8 arm bands on that gives us our primary look here. I felt like AAMU has a pretty classic look about them to begin with and this carried it on. Helmets are pretty much the same, white and crimson, single stripe with the interlocking logo on the sides. Uniforms pare down the bevy of stripes to 5. Contrasting collars. New wordmarks and number font system round out the look. Pants match the helmet with a stripe. Alternate takes the newer double stripe look and puts it on a black base. Hockey - The SWAC takes to the ice! And the first go around is a very simple look. The 5-stripes can be found on the sleeves with a solid stripe rounding it out on the hem. Interlocking logo on the chest of the home and away. Just went with the red equipment for all three uniforms. Pants actually receive the stripe this time. Socks match their uniforms. Alternate replaces most of everything. Bulldog logo appears on the chest, Double stripe takes over for the other stripes where it needs to. Baseball - College is a fun place to experiment with uniforms and I want to try doing more non-traditional things, which feels fun doing it to a team that already has a pretty traditional look. So baseball replaces the 5 stripe with pinstripes, which I thought was a pretty equal trade, and adds a solid stripe around the collar and the sleeves. New wordmarks and numbers on the chest of the home and away. Red jersey also sees pinstripes. Black jersey also does something non-traditional, but not something new for AAMU. Headgear is similar to football, all crimson or white/crimson. Socks are striped either red or black. Basketball - I finally get a basketball uniform that isn't a :censored: to translate. A little more modern take on the five stripes, with them being found on under the arm and on the sides of the pants, with one stripe forming a full stripe around the bottom of the shorts. single color stripes around the arm holes. Alternate gets a little more traditional, with the double stripe down the sides, with the interlocking logo replacing wordmarks. C&C welcome and always appreciated!

Football - When I started the planning for this, Valpo had announced in February of '21 that they were moving away from the Crusaders nickname (ironically the same thing my second university underwent in 2017). So when I got around to Valparaiso, they were nicknameless and if I had just waited a few more weeks, I would have known they'd be called the Beacons moving forward. But the new nickname worked very well within the new style I had picked out for them. The Beacons are the first football team that really gets the whole works, with three options each from helmet to cleats. While the "Shield of Character" logo works well, I went with a modified version of their lighthouse logo with a block V as the new primary, relegating the shield to secondary status. The main design feature is the "Beacon Stripe" which stays consistent across the three colors, which does result with some interesting results on the brown pieces. The stripe is also found forming a V on most uses. Pants combine the stripe with a simple wordmark. Hockey - I was a bit surprised to see that Valpo doesn't have as much as a club hockey team, but that just meant a blank canvas to work off of. The same angled Beacon stripe can be found on the sleeves and on the hem line. V logo on the chest of the home and away. Socks match their respective jerseys. Alternate swaps out the angled hem stripe for a straight across and sees a college wordmark + number move the V to the shoulders. A common occurrence in the early hockey teams, but the pants don't get the stripes as I felt it was a little much for the pants when combined with the rest of the design. Baseball - In most cases I try and reign baseball in when it comes to matching the other sports' designs. This wasn't really a case of that. I let the Beacon stripe still shine through on this one, with faux vest sleeves on the white and gold uniforms. Valpo script on the home and away jerseys, block Valpo on the alternate. Pants have a similar stripe to the football uniforms, just sans the wordmark. All-brown and gold/brown headgear with similar colored socks round out the look. Basketball - A common theme here, basketball giving me the most issues. The lack of sleeves on (traditional) basketball uniforms make it interesting for some designs to translate and this one was a perfect case of that. The Beacon stripe becomes a stripe down the side of the jersey, which results in the brown jersey looking a little bit more plain than the rest. But the shorts get the full outcome of the stripe with a bold stripe angled across the bottoms of the shorts. In an inverse of the baseball jerseys, block Valpo on the home and away and script Valpo on the alternate. Wyoming isn't the only school that can make brown and gold look good. Let me know if you agree!

this series is making me want to take another swing at MLB designs. all very well done!

Picked up a Suns "The Valley" jersey mostly because I think its one of the best City jerseys in the short history of the program

Full transparency: I'd have had these ready sooner if I wasn't trying to find a bunch of Twitter/Elon Musk related puns to fit into this post. Football - Pretty much a new direction from the current catalog look. Went away from the pointy E on the helmets to the Phoenix logo. The design on the jersey is derived from the logo, and received the name, "The Phoenix Stripe", which juts out from the sleeves to the chest, like the Falcons jerseys. Pants receive the stripe running down from the top of the pants to down about 3/4s of the way of the side. Hockey - The hockey club gets away from having a black uniform, getting back onto school colors full time. These might be the most chaotic of the uniforms, with the Phoenix stripe running from the collar down the sleeves. Went with the Phoenix logo with Elon attached to it. As is the case with other hockey teams, pants don't receive the stripe down the sides. Baseball - Baseball keeps the new stripe going, albeit a little smaller than their mates. Red headgear, the only sport that gets that distinction, along with a white option. Jerseys are fundamentally baseball, just with some pointy stripes on the sleeves. White and gold pants are the options for keeping your legs warm. Basketball - I wasn't totally sure about these, I went with the Phoenix stripe around the arms and neck, with some interruption on the back, courtesy of the Nike template. ELON over the number on the fronts of the home and away with the Phoenix logo over the number on the gold jersey. Shorts have the stripe around the bottom of the legs that flares up in the back. C&C welcome and appreciated!

Football - One thing that made this second run of the project a little more interesting was that a good portion of these schools have worn nothing but catalog options but for the schools that have played football for a long time, there aren't as many historical references to fall back on compared to some of the FBS schools, so it was a test of creativity to come up with some new, unique looks. For NCCU, the Celebration Bowl red tops were certainly a good point to potentially start with but I opted for something a little different. This might be the first (but won't be the last) time I used portions of a team's social media branding on a uniform but I combined a checkerboard pattern with baseball's racing stripe into a new look for the Eagles. I also promoted grey to full time alternate status across all the sports, relegating black to the logos. Also new to the style are a new font system and wordmarks, replacing the Dafont college type. Hockey - A new sport for the Eagles that merges right into the fold. The same shoulder stripes can be found here, ending just before the cuff of the sleeves. Eagle head can be found on the chest of the home and away uniforms with the full body bird on the grey alternates. Pants have the full stripe, socks matching their respective hems with a solid color stripe. Baseball - Like the inspiration image says, the MEAC and NCCU have both left baseball in the dust but that doesn't stop me here. Basically resurrected the last uniforms the team wore, swapped the black for grey on the sleeves on some of the uniforms. Red/grey and grey and red headgear options. New wordmarks on the chests of the three tops, checkerboards added to the ends of the sleeves. Pants have a simple stripe down the sides. Basketball - Finishing us up here, basketball continues the new styles, with stripes that start up by the collars and run 3/4s of the way down the side, ending in the checkerboards. Arched versions of the wordmarks on the chests. Shorts have a single color stripe around the bottom of the leg holes, with the checkerboard stripe running up the sides similarly to the sides of the jersey with NC CENTRAL in the stripe. C&C welcome! For those that might still be interested, I am still mulling options over on the website and how to proceed, which I think is going to have to be an upgrade from a few Wix site to a paid option. Will probably happen soon but I'll make mention of when it happens.

The one downside to remote/hybrid work is that work has a much easier time of following you home. But thank goodness for lunch breaks right? Football - Definitely not the most exciting design to follow up with, but when you start with a football team that's played their rival 159 times since 1884, classic feels like an appropriate avenue. So Lehigh football has recently moved away from the shoulder stripes to a more catalog UA look, even using the white helmet more often and I'm rolling back the changes. Back to the UCLA shoulder stripes look and the gold helmet as the primary helmet option. The alternate look uses the 1977 D2 championship team a lot as influence, the white helmet is a modernized version of that team's helmet. The northwestern stripe also comes over from 1977, now on a gold base. Hockey - The look for hockey is very similar to what their club team wears currently, just with a little more added gold on the stripes. A traditional collegiate lockup on the chest of the home and away tops. Alternate swaps out the logo under LEHIGH for a number and moves the hawk logo up to the shoulders. Brown pants for all uniforms, gold and brown helmets round out the looks. Baseball - No real deviations to be found here. Very traditional baseball uniforms for the Mountain Hawks (complete with opaque pants). triple stripe placket piping and sleeve stripes. Baseball pants are the only ones to get stripes down the sides of the legwear. Alternate keeps the fauxback feelings going, on a v-neck pullover with larger stripes. Brown/gold hats with the L-hawk on the front and a white/brown hat with an interlocking LU. Basketball - Finishing us up are more classically styled uniforms, with the same stripes around the arms and neck, and on the waistband and legs of the shorts. Alternate moves the northwestern stripe to the sides of the uniform, with a simpler double stripe as a smaller, detail element. C&C welcome! It'll be a bit of a wait, they are around the middle of the team list.

Next up on our list are our gracious hosts of the First Four. Dayton has kept things pretty classic in style and so did I, but I did try and add a little bit of modernity to it at the same time. Football - Like I mentioned in the very short preamble, Dayton has kept things pretty simple. My little addition to the look is using the wings from the primary logo as part of the stripe and overall look. So from the top down, Four helmet styles! 2 designs each, red and white with the primary Dayton - D logo on the sides. the other, also red and white with the wings from the logo now forming wings on the sides of the helmets. Jerseys take the stripes from the shoulders and move them to the sleeves, with a cutout of the wings from the logo. Finally down to the pants, which have the same style of the stripe but no cut out wings. Finally, for the first time in possibly ever, a navy alternate for Dayton, which is nothing more than a recolor, but that's more than alright IMO. Hockey - So the Flyers' club team for the better part of a few years has worn the Chapel Blue color pretty exclusively which works for them, but now everything comes under a new umbrella. So while Chapel Blue goes away as the full time blue, it won't be gone for long. Anyways, the same stripes from football make their way across to the ice onto a pretty classic styled hockey uniform. Dayton is our first team in this new series to have multiple options for hockey pants, a modest two in this case, which also applies to the helmets in which there are two options. Baseball - Like most teams you'll encounter here, baseball is a refined and simpler version of the main look. This one is no exception, as the only real change to the design is the jersey has the simpler cut stripe opposed to the full cut-out stripe. Otherwise it's about what you'd expect to see. The biggest addition to the group, continues the larger trend of getting every team a navy alternate. Basketball - Could be argued that Dayton's basketball team is the most famous of the four sports on the list, and for pretty good reason. Their uniforms keep it classic but bring that modernity I was hoping to achieve. the arm and neck stripes use the simpler cut stripe. Shorts use the cut-out stripe at an angle on the sides of the shorts. And before we go: All four teams get a Chapel Blue alternate that DOES NOT MIX AND MATCH. Felt it better that way to avoid looking like Ole Miss. Anyways, I gave the Chapel Blue uniforms a vintage feel, something their basketball has been doing already. This also introduces the Rudy Flyer logos into the mix as a fun deviation from the norm. Design stays largely the same, with the lighter blue replacing navy throughout. There's also a new Flyers script that gets used on all four jerseys. That wraps up Dayton. Love to hear what you guys think!

edit: wrong thread

Archers - feels like an overload of orange. don't love UTAH on the side. Cannons - the perfect helmet for the Cannons Redwoods - I wasn't sure about yellow at first but depending on how it looks in action with the whole uniform, I wouldn't mind it replacing the white helmets. Waterdogs - I've never liked the Waterdogs using black when purple works for them so well. Contrast is nice, I'll give it that.

Figured I could get ahead of the Big Game today with the next team (was really hoping that this team had at least one Super Bowl alumnus): Not too long ago, you might have confused UT Martin for a knock off Auburn, which wasn't too far off. So getting away from that comparison was important to me, but how was that going to take place? Well thanks to the basketball team and their candy cane warmup pants from the 2020/2021 ish seasons, we had all we need. Football - Kicking us off (heh), is the football team and right away things are very different. Gone is the northwestern stripe from the helmet, replaced by an asymmetrical stripe on both a white and navy shell. Also gone is the UTM mark. It serves a purpose IMO but not as the helmet logo. Now the options are the straight on Skyhawk logo and the newer side profile Skyhawk. Down to the jerseys, with a multitude of orange/white/navy stripes, which don't change on the jerseys, so one color always drops to the jersey color. A new number font that tangentially matches the wordmarks is introduced. The pants have the repeating stripe from top to bottom down the sides. Hockey - Another team without a hockey club. The bevy of stripes is repeated on the sleeves, with the simpler rendition on the hem. Primary logo on the chest, socks match their counterpart uniforms. The alternate takes things in the direction of the Ottawa 67's white jerseys. The stripes are bigger and run down the sleeves, hem stripe gets a little bigger. Pants have the stripes down the sides, white and navy helmets. (as a general reminder, unless I say otherwise, most equipment across the respective sports can be interchangeable). Baseball - A refined take on the new style, baseball gets all the new bells and whistles. Headgear gets three options: all navy, navy/orange, tricolor. Full stripes on the sleeves and the home and away uniforms, with single color placket piping. The wordmarks gets straightened out and arched, numbers underneath. Alternate mirrors the hockey jersey with the stripes running down the sleeves with a script Skyhawks joining the look. Baseball pants are the only ones that don't get the repeating stripes down the side. I didn't like how it turned out so just the simple asymmetric stripe. Basketball - The genesis of the new look keeps things fairly refined on the home and away uniforms. Solid colors around the neck and arm holes, with the repeating stripes down the sides. Solid color on the waistband, logo down on the leg. The alternate gets out there a little bit, with the stripes taking up most of the shoulder space on the jersey, as well as on the sides and back half of the shorts. C&C welcome! For those of you that do care about the website, I have hit a slight snag with getting it updated as it is hard to upload images when you're out of free space to do so. So at present, I am working through alternatives but I do plan on continuing having the site serve its purpose. There was a brief moment in time where in doing research for the Racers, I considered a different pattern for all four sports but canned that when I realized how painstaking that would be in real life to execute and keep separate for the sports. But I think the baseball pattern did scale down nicely after another look it.

Let's meet some new faces shall we? Our first true new team. And one that has a super fun branding but just needs a chance to highlight it a little more. Football - The Racers football team gets us going. Starting at the helmets, we get away from the UConn-style helmet stripe and revive the 2018 era stripe with the diamonds, with some tweaks. The original plan was to bring back the stripes with the checkerboard, but after comparing the two, I felt the diamonds were more unique and fun to look at, but I kept the checkerboard color scheme for some razzle dazzle. Navy and white helmets with the M-Racer on the sides. Jerseys carry the stripes over to the sleeves. Now I know Murray State had a proprietary font, but for the life of me I could not find any solid reference images to work with, so I went with something a little more custom but still fitting the vibes. Pants have a cut stripe that matches the rest. Hockey - Something fun about this edition of the project is that there's a lot of these teams that don't even have a club team, so hockey becomes a blank canvas for a lot of these teams. But Murray keeps things pretty true to classic hockey aesthetics. The team stripe is the main feature on the jerseys and socks, with the M-Racers logo on the chest. Alternate shakes things up a little bit with stripes pretty similar to the Canucks' white jerseys on the sleeves with a little different look on the hem of the jersey. Alternate logo replaces the primary on the chest. Hockey doesn't get the stripes on the pants, as I felt like it was a little too much when it was all put together. Baseball - Despite my aversion to pinstripes, I really liked the way the team looks in them. So I kept them around. M-Racers logos on the home and away navy jersey, number opposite. A much smaller version of the diamond stripes finds their home on the sleeves. Interrupted stripe on the two sets of pants - pinstripes and solid white. Alternate goes gold with a v-neck style, script Racers makes an appearance, with larger diamond stripes. Navy/gold hat with the primary logo and a tri-color with the alternate logo. Navy and gold socks round out the parts for options. Basketball - Finishing us off here, one of Murray State's most famous alumni lends his influence, with Ja Morant's jersey style bringing back the cut underarm stripes, but this time with the diamond stripe. Murray State sandwich on the fronts of the home and away uniforms, Racers on the gold alternate. Shorts have the inverse of the stripe, with the alternate logo positioned above it. C&C welcome! First off, glad you enjoyed the PLL sets! Also, not gonna say too much about the lacrosse kits, but I will say to stay tuned

32 teams are down to 16. Who will be crowned world champions? Round of 16 Morocco vs Latvia >>> The magic continues! After an unbeaten group play, Morocco falls behind Latvia with a few minutes to go in the 3rd, but salvages their run with a late tying goal and gets an OT winning to keep the dream going. Final >>> 2-1 OT Morocco Belgium vs Germany >>> Probably the most even matched game of the first round on this side. Belgium and Germany threw everything they had at each other, but its Belgium advancing to face Morocco after a tip drill goal gets them across the finish line. Final >>> 1-0 Belgium United States vs Norway >>> Norway caught the Americans sleeping, jumping out to a 3-0 lead but couldn't hold off the comeback as the United States stormed back to tie the game late and finish the comeback in overtime. Final >>> 5-4 OT USA Uruguay vs France >>> Both teams traded goals early, and it would be France who ends up with more at the final buzzer, moving on to face team USA in the quarter finals. Final >>> 5-3 France ----- Brazil vs Canada >>> Oh man. This was a game that should have been reserved for the Cup Final, but we got it in the first round. Neither team wanted to lose. So much so they almost played two full games just to win one. In the end, the world #1 gets on to the next round, winning the game in the 3rd OT. Final >>> 4-3 3OT Canada Czechia vs Kazakhstan >>> Kazakhstan made it this far but couldn't keep it going. Czechia rolls to an easy victory, meeting up with Canada in the quarterfinals. Final >>> 5-2 Czechia Argentina vs Nigeria >>> Nigeria looked to hopefully catch some of what Morocco was feeling, but it would not come to pass. Argentina manages a couple more bounces and moves on. Final >>> 5-3 Argentina England vs Finland >>> A quality matchup to end the first round. Finland looked to get on top of England early, but one goal wasn't going to cut it. England takes control in the second half of the game and sends the Finns home. Final >>> 2-1 England. Quarterfinals: Morocco vs Belgium >>> To quote Dave Niehaus, "It just continues, my oh my!" The Moroccans do it again, this time in a double overtime affair, heading to the semifinals after another heartstopping win. Final >>> 2-1 2OT Morocco United States vs France >>> The US tempts fate again, falling behind early to France and for a minute, looking like they'd run out of time to come back, but a furious 3 goal outburst in the 3rd sends the US through to meet the team of destiny. ----- Canada vs Czechia >>> A matchup we've been seeing more and more of in real life, but Czechia was no match for Canada this time. The Canadians have been a much different team than the team that lost to Morocco in group play and the Czechs found that out the hard way Final >>> 5-1 Canada Argentina vs England >>> It's coming home? Not this time. Argentina shuts out England to meet up with Canada in the semifinals. Final >>> 2-0 Argentina. Semifinals: United States vs Morocco: The clock strikes 12 for the Moroccans. Nursing a tenuous 1 goal lead late, the Moroccans make a costly turnover and let the US tie the game up. Morocco had several quality chances to win it in an overtime and a half, but weren't able to solve the US goaltending and the United States make it to the WCOH Final. Final >>> 4-3 2OT USA Argentina vs Canada >>> 3 goals were scored in the first period and none after that. Unfortunately, we would not be getting a US/Canada final, as Argentina managed the needed 3rd goal to advance to the WCOH final and a chance at history. Final >>> 2-1 Argentina Medal Round: Third Place Game: While I'm sure Canada would rather be playing for the world championship, a chance at revenge has to be a solid consolation prize. Canada avenges their early upset and salvages their tournament, winning the 3rd place game. Final >>> 3-1 Canada WCOH Final: Argentina had the chance to be the first team to win a FIFA World Cup and a World Cup of Hockey. The United States looked to simply complete the mission. And both teams came to play. No scoring through the first 3 periods of play, bolstered by outstanding goaltending on both sides. In the second overtime, the United States' experience started to shine through, forcing a bad turnover which turned into a 3-on-1 opportunity and the cup winning goal was scored. Final >>> 1-0 2OT United States A lot of words to close this one down. It was fun getting an idea I had back in 2015/2016 ish off the ground finally, but I gotta say, after two back to back series of simulated results that border a little but on the fan fiction edge, I'm glad its over. But I had fun doing it. I'm considering turning this into a regular thing over at the Alternate History Sports forum, so who knows. But thank you to all who followed along, commented or just enjoyed a causal lurk through the thread!

Let's put a bow on this guy. Coming to us from the mountains, is Slovenia. Unlike many of the pan-Slavic nations, Slovenia eschews red, white and blue for their national teams in favor of green and blue, which is a welcome change for this group. the uniform design references three of the major mountain ranges, in cascading shades of blue. this is also repeated on the socks, while the pants have a mountain design, referencing the coat of arms. The alternate goes full mountain, which might remind some viewers of the Avalanche 2020 Stadium Series uniforms. For one last time: Pundit's Predictions: Unlike other groups, no team really presents as a favorite. The easy answers would be either Croatia or England, but France looks to cause havoc and I'd keep an eye out on Slovenia. No one gives them a real shot but they figure to join France in mucking things up. Game 1: England vs Slovenia >>> Remember what I said about mucking things up? Slovenia was outmatched the entire game, getting outshot by almost double, but England couldn't stay out of the penalty box and get a clear advantage. Slovenia kept a level head and upsets England. Final >>> 2-1 Slovenia Game 2: Croatia vs France >>> How about some more havoc? France gets on top from the beginning and doesn't let Croatia get any momentum going and runs away with their opening game. Final >>> 5-1 France Game 3: France vs England >>> One team coming off a huge win, the other is looking to rebound from a head scratching loss. France can't keep the good times rolling and England is back in the win column with a convincing win. Final >>> 4-0 England Game 4: Slovenia vs Croatia >>> Slovenia had a chance to all but secure a spot in the knockout stages with a win here against Croatia, but in a high scoring affair, it was Croatia who jumped back into the win column and set up a good finish for the group. Final >>> 6-4 Croatia <<<All 4 teams have one win and one loss at this stage in group play >>> Game 5: England vs Croatia >>> The formula is simple for the next two games: win and you're in. The two highest ranked teams in the group meet up and give us a good matchup. A 1-1 game heading into the 3rd is taken over by England and they manage the pivotal second win and all but knock out Croatia. Final >>> 3-1 England - England clinches spot in knockout rounds. Game 6: France vs Slovenia >>> Slovenia strikes first early and it looked like they had a chance to run away with it, but France stormed back with a flurry of goals to shut that down, securing a spot with England and closing out the group stages. Final >>> 5-1 France - France clinches spot in knockout rounds, England gets 1st position via H2H.

Figured I could rapid fire the first two teams, since they were the only FCS teams to get a mention in the original series: Thanks to three generations of family connections, NDSU was the only other FCS team that got a redesign in the first go round, but it really wasn't a redesign at all, given that I just added a set of white pants to football and made some minor modifications here and there to the other sports. This time I really did try and go for something different, even if it wasn't fully a new idea. Football - I'm sure there's a big contingent of people out there that are loving that NDSU isn't winning the championship every year right now, but now you have to deal with the other Dakota State team doing it. As for the uniforms, I liked the addition of stripes around 2015/2016 and getting away from the Wentz era panel look, but I wanted something that was a little more interwoven to the history of NDSU football and connecting back to the D2 championships as well. So, the triple stripe fades into the past and a newer stripe emerges. the D2 Bison wore uniforms that closely resembled the Lombardi Packers' uniforms so I tweaked the stripes a little to resemble those but not be direct clones. The helmet and pant stripes mirror each other. The Harvest Bowl helmets stick around, having proven to be a huge hit since they were introduced. Hockey - Not the first Dakota school you think of when you mention hockey, but for a club program, they don't do too bad for themselves. The uniforms however, took a step backwards since the first go round. They're currently sporting black uniforms (with team colors at least) and grey and black uniforms. So that stops now, with the new stripe taking root on the sleeves and the hem. Went with the primary logo on the home and away uniforms as opposed to the charging bison. Since the other sports don't participate (at least to my understanding) in the Harvest Bowl, the alternates utilize the design from the green football helmet and use the wheat spike in the stripe on the sleeves and pairing down the stripe to a simpler northwestern style. Baseball - Nothing wild for the baseball Bison. Simplified the stripe down to a northwestern on the sleeves with some placket piping. Alternate keeps up the Harvest style, with the wheat stripe taking up some real estate on the sleeves. Yellow/green and green/yellow form the headgear rotation, with a similar story for the socks. I did briefly consider making the alternate all green, but it felt like a lot. Basketball - To the hardwood, we get away from the chevron catalog pattern to something that has a little bit of a retro feel. NW stripes around the arm/neck holes, full stripe down the sides of the jersey and shorts, finishing with the NW stripe at the bottom of the shorts. The alternates continue the Harvest look, and because I like to do weird things on basketball jerseys, the Charging Bison on the chest, number off center underneath it. (Logos can go on the chest of basketball jerseys and I'm sick of pretending they can't). Holdovers are out of the way, we can get into some new faces!

It feels way too late in the wheel of change for the Seahawks to be getting new uniforms. And IIRC, they had to retire the Wolf Greys for the throwbacks
