    Yep, @BlueMoon18 is correct. The road script I used was worn only in 1987, and the last script "New York" used by the Mets was in 1994. CHICAGO WHITE SOX HOME: ROAD: HOME ALT: ROAD ALT: CITY CONNECT: Notes: - The less said about the current state of the Chicago White Sox the better, but they do have great uniforms, so at least they've got that going for them. - No MLB organization celebrates or rewards mediocrity quite like the White Sox. Case in point: Since 2013, the team has regularly worn throwbacks of the 1983 team, which not only did not win a championship but didn’t even reach the World Series. If the South Siders want to honor an historical team actually worth celebrating (and who also had great uniforms), and with the '83 throwbacks seemingly being shelved this year, they should make the 1917 throwbacks the new Sunday home alt. - The primary uniforms now use actual white stocking befitting the team's name, and the thick black & white stripes return to the road pants where they belong. - I switched to a white script and numbers for the road jersey both as a nod to the team’s great 1969 look, and because they play off the white socks a bit better. - The City Connect trades in silver for red, which evokes the team’s past as well as the local Bulls and Blackhawks. C&C appreciated as always!

    Rays City Connect tease: Sky blue gradient and palm trees as part of the design?

    Reducing the new trim/piping on the home and road uniforms to just the sleeves is a definite improvement.

    They've certainly done a much better job preventing a leak than the Phillies or Mets did.

    Can't imagine anyone being inspired by the White Sox right now.

    Purple vs. teal/Northwest green is really nice, but I have to say I'm not a fan of how those jerseys look with the road pants and wish they'd only wear them at home. I also hate how the silver wordmark looks.

    Thank you both! NEW YORK METS HOME: ROAD: HOME ALT: ROAD ALT: CITY CONNECT: Notes: - The Mets’ newly unveiled City Connect set prompted me to make a few previously unplanned changes to New York’s current set, the biggest being the removal of pinstripes from the team’s home uniform. This was done so that 1) the Mets can look as different from their crosstown rivals as possible, and 2) the pins are now unique to the City Connect. - Despite orange being part of their colorway, the Mets had not one but TWO blue alternates for most of the past decade. Here, the team finally gets an orange alt (similar to their 2013-14 “Los Mets” jerseys) which replaces their awful new black “throwbacks.” I was never big on the Mets in black to begin with, yet the changes made to that design actually have me longing for those original jerseys to return. - Because the City Connect also uses a Tuscan style “NYC,” I decided to bring back the Mets’ 1987 script “New York” for the road and road alt. - Yesterday I shared my City Connect tweak here, so here's a quick summary: More purple, matching pants, and an extra pop of white on the roundel and sleeve trim. C&C appreciated and have a great weekend!

    Not sure what’s going on with the Sox City Connects. I doubt they’ve been discontinued or else we probably would’ve heard about it by now. In past years, they’ve worn them for “Southside Mondays” home games, but so far this year they’ve only played two of those, and one of them was on Jackie Robinson Day.

    Can't say I'm a fan of the new trim on Chicago's home and road unis. I like the use of the City Connect logo on the black jersey, but I think it would look odd to pair the black pinstriped jersey with white pinstriped pants. However, I LOVE that throwback, and I'd buy that white front paneled cap in a heartbeat. If I could make one suggestion, I'd slap some numbers on the pants which could be a reference not just to the team's '82-86 but their '87-90 look as well.

    Next up are the Mets! Notes: - I find it funny how the teaser for the Mets' City Connect had everyone convinced the uniforms would be mainly purple, when it wound be being nothing more than an accent color. My goal here was to crank up the purple a bit, which I did by recoloring the "NYC" jersey letters, cap logo and cap bill. - Even though I don't hate how it looks as much as I thought it would, I still think pinstriped jerseys need to be paired with matching pants, so we end up with a monochrome concrete gray look. - A small pop of white is added to the roundel and sleeve trim. C&C appreciated! The Rays are next on the City Connect schedule, so I'll be back with a tweak of that design soon.

    At the very least it would look better if the "NY" was purple.
  13. coco1997
    I like how the teaser convinced everyone the uniforms would be heavily purple and it's basically just an accent color on the uniforms.

    I really hope TB's City Connect set isn't based around that dumb sunray logo.
