  1. Nice work! I've always felt the BiG logo should be worn on the front of the jersey more often. I just remembered the reports from 2019 suggesting the Orioles could relocate to Nashville. That same year, a Nashville-based ownership group announced plans to bring an MLB team called the "Stars" to Music City, so maybe an Orioles-inspired Stars set could work for this series?
  2. I think this works quite nicely! Could we see it on the other three jerseys?
  3. Love everything about the Cowboys! The colors, the dusty shade of the road uni, the numbers. The tweaks to the Royals’ old road script really take this concept to the next level. I had an idea: For the sleeves, how about rope-themed stripes, a la the Rangers’ City Connect pants?
  4. The white outlines help the script and numbers pop a lot better. Also, great job with the Missions!
  5. Looks great! Pretty much a perfect marriage of the A’s and Nationals’ identities. If I could make one suggestion, I’d add a white stroke around the road gray’s script & numbers, so that the front of the jersey picks up the white from the sleeves. Alternatively, you could make the white sleeve stripes gray.
  6. If you end up doing the Tides, I’d recommend a design based on their original 1993-2015 look: Their current color scheme is more interesting, but these uniforms felt more MLB-caliber. And hell, it already looks like there’s a giant Nike swoosh incorporated into the wordmark itself.
  7. The Phillies were actually the first team to wear racing stripes in 1970 or 1971. The Expos didn't adopt their racing striped look until 1980.
  8. While that MLB.com article seems to just speculate that the Pirates could have relocated and become the Arrows, the one above confirms it was a possibility. I can honestly say I had never heard about the Twins possibly moving to Indianapolis, though!
  9. This feels like it could be the spiritual successor to the Buffalo BufFeds/Blues of the Federal League, right down to the logo. Side note, as @DCarp1231 previously alluded to, this article confirms that an attempt to purchase and relocate the Pirates to Indianapolis was made in 1985. Couldn't find anything about the A's, though.
  10. Great thinking to embrace the Angels' City Connect look full-time for Long Beach! I'm kind of curious to see what the set would look like with the more medium blue from the Long Beach flag replacing navy.
  11. Not sure whether this was intentional or not, but the color scheme is somewhat reminiscent of the NY Giants’ 1916 uniforms. Great work!
  12. Great to hear that you’re planning to do something with the teams I mentioned! For what it’s worth, I believe the original KC Cowboys wore brown, so maybe you could do something with that color. I also had the idea that the logo could be the Royals’ BP logo, but with a cowboy hat replacing the crown above the “KC.”
  13. Love the custom bat-symbol design! It looks like a cross between the modern oval bat-symbol and the Adam West/'66 Batman logo. Also, as much as I love your Power Rangers set, I feel like it’s a missed opportunity that you didn’t work in the lightning bolt logo somewhere.
  14. The Saints turned out great! I'm curious what the significance is of the pig logo on the alt's sleeve. @MJD7 Congrats on completing a very fun, creative and well-researched series! Since it seems like you tried to address as many potential relocations as possible, here are a few I feel would fit well within the premise of this project: Kansas City Cowboys (Senators) – As @maxwasson pointed out, the Kansas City Cowboys (known alternately as the “Blues”) of the Western League played from 1885-1901 before relocating to D.C. and becoming the first iteration of the Washington Senators. Long Beach Angels – In 2019, the Angels met with Long Beach officials about relocating to a new stadium at the large, undeveloped plot of land near Long Beach Convention Center. Last year, after the City of Anaheim nixed a planned sale of Angel Stadium to Arte Moreno, Long Beach reiterated its interest in luring the Halos thirty miles southwest of Anaheim. Washington A’s – In 1977 (scroll down to page 8 ), Charlie O. Finley accused Commissioner Howie Kuhn of plotting to switch the A’s to the NL and move them to D.C. Kuhn downplayed these claims but confessed the move had at least been considered. The A’s look could mesh pretty organically with the Senators/Nationals, with a navy & red color scheme similar to the Kansas City A’s pre-1963 look. Washington Giants – According to this article, a group of local investors attempted to lure the Giants to D.C. in 1978. I can see you doing something cool with an orange “DC” monogram in the style of the Giants’ “SF.”
  15. Detroit turned out great! I was really surprised to learn from Todd Radom's podcast that this relocation was an actual possibility. The headspoon piping is a nice nod to the Tigers' home jerseys. I was planning to suggest that if you hadn't included it in your initial design.
  16. Phila A's - The whole set is gorgeous, but the two alts have to be my favorite of the bunch. Brewers (White Sox) - I love this idea! However, I think you could lean into the White Sox inspiration just a bit more. For instance, you could squeeze a small "Brewers" into the tail of the "Milwaukee" script (and visa versa for the home and home alt jerseys) as a nod to these gorgeous 1968 throwbacks. I'd also like to see the diamond return to the sleeve as it did with your other White Sox concepts, but with a Brewers logo (maybe the barley ball?) in place of the sock. Pandas - I actually enjoy both versions of the Pandas equally! Green and black is such a great color combo. I agree with @heavybass that it would be fun to see a panda mascot somewhere, something like this. Basically the Swinging Friar with a panda face. Orioles (Yankees) - This is probably your simplest concept in this series, but it's nonetheless one of my favorites because of the history behind it. Vegas D-Backs - YES! I was hoping to see this one included, and you did not disappoint! As much as I beat the "D-Backs back in purple and turquoise" drum, this scheme would've made total sense for them had they moved to Sin City and also created some nice visual synergy with the Golden Knights.
  17. Been meaning to catch up on the last couple teams: Phillies - Personally, I prefer the maroon and powder blue set to your second version. I'd like to see the red alt with Liberty Bell on the breast in the colors from your first version. Pirates - I think this is one team where the plethora of alternates works, as they all look different enough from one another. Padres - Looking good, though I'd prefer to see a gold alternate in the mix as opposed to two white options. Never been a fan of their camo look, but given that San Diego is such a big Navy town, I get why they wear them and why you kept it. Giants - If you're going to have two throwbacks, might I suggest a pinstriped NY Giants road uniform? The current road throwback doesn't really add anything new or different to the overall set. Mariners - I'll echo @Yee Yee Go 'Stros!'s praise about unifying the number style. I also really love those two fauxbacks! The '70s wordmark in particular looks fantastic on an off-white jersey. Cardinals - I'd think about putting the "St. Louis" script on the road jersey and combining the Sunday alternate and 1940's throwback into one design.
  18. Your latest script “M” for the Milwaukee Cardinals is probably the best of the three options. Nice work!
  19. You're probably correct that "REDS" is too short of a name, but I kind of like how it looks in big, bold letters like this. I actually think this is a huge improvement! Yes, it's subtle (like shifting from black to navy for your TB Pirates concept) but it really ties the whole design together, especially when seen alongside the TV numbers. Great job! These both look good, but the dustier shade probably works better, as it's closer to the color of actual female cardinals, and, as you said, would be different enough from the cream color of the throwback uniform. The single outlines for the alternates definitely look cleaner, IMO. As always, thanks for trying out my suggestions!
  20. San Diego Reds - I really like the choice to go with red and gold, as it feels more California/San Diego than red and black would. (They're also McDonald's colors, which would be appropriate for the Friars ). The current "Reds" script feels out of place with the rest of the identity, though. Could we see an arched "REDS" wordmark in the style of the Padres' wordmarks and numbers? New York Reds - As @Yee Yee Go 'Stros! pointed out, I'm not sure the Mets' "NY" monogram really works with the other design elements. My suggestion would be to tweak the serifs of the "NY" to match those of the Reds' current numbers and wordmarks. Here's a super rough mockup of how that could look: Everything else looks great, though. The road jersey is particularly sharp. Houston Cardinals - I'm curious how the road jersey would look in the dusty cream color (or a slightly tweaked version of that shade) the Astros used to wear, which could serve as a nod to both those uniforms and the color of female cardinals. Dallas A's - Love the Kelly green and blue, which helps set this design apart from @SFGiants58's Dallas set. The Rangers elements also mesh really nicely with the Athletics identity. I'm not sold on the double outlines on the alts, however. Even though there isn't a ton of contrast between the green and blue, I think single outlines would look cleaner. Looking forward to the final couple teams!
  21. I like the idea of trying to subtly reference the Devil Rays' gradients, but I definitely prefer this version! I meant to add that I also love the compass in the diamond design. I like this! I think mono-red makes more sense for the alt, mainly because of the design of the D.C. flag, but that would probably necessitate flipping the colors of the script and TV numbers on the home jersey, which I'm not sure you'd want to do. Fair enough.
  22. - Really digging that arched block "Miami" for the Marlins and feel it's strong enough to be the primary road jersey. - The Stars look fantastic! The sunrise colors emanating from the script add a ton of personality to the jersey. And yeah, it works a lot better here than on the previous Twins' jerseys. - I love the Flamingos home jersey with the pink script & numbers and probably prefer it to your original version. I’d likely stick with the black script on the road jersey, though. - The brown Angels jersey and silver wordmark on the Denver Rockies are also really nice! Nice job tweaking the serifs of the "W" to match the ones from that retro "Orioles" script! Everything about TB looks great, but the teal and gold strokes on the home jersey wordmark and numbers kind of bleed together and end up looking green. Could we see teal wordmarks & numbers outlined in navy and then gold? It's not as much of an issue on the road jersey due to the gray background. Flipping the Twins' new cap logo upside down and using the three stars from the D.C. flag is great, and I actually have the exact same thing planned for an upcoming project of my own. I'm with @fortunat1 about not being sold on the mono-navy for the Sunday alt, but I also get your reasoning that mono-red would probably make it look too similar to the home jersey. I have a few suggestions that don’t appear to be on your list: Montreal Royals – Alternate identity for the 1969 expansion Expos? The minor league Montreal Royals existed from 1928-1960, and as soon as the team folded, efforts were made to bring baseball back to Montreal. Houston Colt .45s/Colts – Houston’s MLB club never rebrands as the Astros and retains the “Colts” moniker, but in observance of sensitivity to gun violence, maybe the name is repurposed to refer to the horse? Keep up the awesome work!
  23. Can anyone recommend a script style font that resembles the former Indians' scripts?
