    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.

    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.

    - I wish the Dodgers and Rockies had kept their original-colored pants, but these things absolutely need to be worn high-cuffed. - The Dodgers' original CC cap was abysmal, so their updated cap is an upgrade by default, but it's still too similar to their primary cap. I'm really curious what they have planned for their new design. - Switching to sand-colored pants was a huge upgrade for Arizona. It helped make their City Connect set feel less like an alternate and more like its own thing. - I'm surprised the Brewers haven't adopted powder blue pants for their CC set yet.

    Assuming this is true, 4/29 is probably the date of the Rays' City Connect unveiling. I'm honestly probably most excited for Tampa Bay's design. I mean, how could it possibly be worse than their current bland uniforms?

    I wish that was their City Connect cap logo.

    Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it. Yeah, I'm not 100% sold on it, either. I was really just trying to combine Seattle's home and Sunday alts into one design, as I did with Philly. CINCINNATI REDS HOME: ROAD: HOME ALT: ROAD ALT: CITY CONNECT: Notes: - The Reds get a new home throwback based on their 1936 look, which embraced the team’s “Redlegs” nickname. - Pinstripes return to the home uniform to set the new throwback jersey apart a bit more. I think I've determined this is my all-time favorite look of Cincinnati's. - Black is scrubbed from the four main uniforms, both to produce a cleaner look and to make the color unique to the team’s City Connect set. - Cincy's Spring Training jersey is reportedly listed in MLB’s 2024 Style Guide as “Alt 2,” which means it could technically be worn during the regular season. To my knowledge it never has, but I think I prefer it to their other red alt, as it reminds me of this great look from 1956 and would make the script “Reds” exclusive to the throwback. - The City Connect tweak is one I previously shared, the only real change being the wordmark and numbers now match the style of the cap logo. C&C appreciated!

    The sleeve stripes resembling wings is a genius idea! I also love the new red alt using just the "C" instead of the full "Guardians" script. I dig the "Land" alternate, though the base color looks a little too saturated to my eyes--it's almost peach-colored.

    A pinstriped jersey with white pants honestly sounds pretty rough. If a jersey is pinstriped, then the pants worn with it should match.

    The Tigers one also has an “on-field headwear“ sticker, which tells me that’s the cap that goes with the jersey. Unfortunately.
  20. coco1997
    This could actually end up being pretty nice. The big letters give it an early 1900s feel, a la the New York Giants:

    And a possible Tigers leak, too:

    Thanks! I'm not convinced this version would have been that much better received, as I feel the biggest issues most people have with the Phils' new set is the wordmark and wonky numbers style, neither of which I really mind. SEATTLE MARINERS HOME: ROAD: HOME ALT: ROAD ALT: CITY CONNECT: Notes: - It was an odd choice by Seattle to drop their gray road jerseys while keeping their Sunday home fauxbacks, because 1) the team now has gray pants without a matching jersey, and 2) their City Connect set is also blue and gold, which makes the fauxback, in my opinion, redundant. - After ditching the team’s Sunday home fauxbacks, I asked myself, “Why can’t Seattle’s primary home uniforms be off-white?” I'm not entirely convinced it works, but you be the judge. - The whole set uses a more vibrant shade of teal/seafoam green, similar to the one from the team’s Spring Training caps. The new home cap is also a recolored version of the ST hat, which swaps out the "S" logo for the compass. - I decided to work up a new road alt design that replaces the “Seattle” wordmark with the “S” logo. I also streamlined the home jersey wordmark by dropping the second stroke around the letters. - As I tend to prefer custom style numbers, I restored the M’s’ rounded numbers across the board. - I previously shared my Seattle City Connect tweak here, where you can read a breakdown of the changes I made. In short: The black pants are now white, newly added t-bars are inspired by the Steelheads, a touch of red comes from the Rainiers, and the crossed tridents on the cap bill were suggested by @Frylock. C&C appreciated and have a great weekend!

    Always love to open the Concepts forum and see an update to this series! The NJ Devils do not disappoint. Daredevil's original yellow costume is actually my favorite of his, so I'm glad you were able to work that into this set as an alternate. Still hoping to see a Ghostbusters-themed team at some point!

    Always happy to see a new MLB series around here, and I'm excited for this one! I really like the ground rules you've laid out for this series, and I'm interested to see how you manage to follow them for certain teams.

    I'm back again with the first team from the final year of initial City Connect designs, the Philadelphia Phillies! My first tweak is cross-posted from my new Nike 4+1 series: Notes: - Put me down as one of the who actually like the Phils’ new City Connect uniforms. They’re pretty much the prototypical City Connect design: wildly different team colors, city iconography-inspired logos, “edgy” looking numbers and dark pants. - One thing I did feel the need to change was the jersey gradient; I’ve always felt the best uniforms and logos are ones that can be easily recreated with a simple pen and paper, and it’s a bit hard to do that with a gradient. The jersey instead now features the Philadelphia skyline, a la the cap logo. I also converted the jersey into a partial pullover. - This is a super minor detail, but I made the Liberty Bell letter "O" on the sleeve patch gold to match the socks. - Thanks to @MJD7 for helping with the wordmark! The next tweak is a bit more significant: Notes: - Funnily enough, the inspiration for this version came from this women's fashion shirt I found on the MLBShop.com. - I was worried this design might veer a little too closely to the Cubs' City Connect, but in my universe the North Siders' design would be green, so the similarities would be minimal. - Front numbers are added for balance. I like to think that this second version might have been a little better received than what we actually got. C&C appreciated!
