I tend to think the Rockies should "own" purple the way the Padres own brown or the A's own green and gold. After all, they beat Arizona to it by five years and the color is more germane to their identity (purple mountain majesty). I think magenta works just as well for Arizona to convey a Southwestern feel, especially by evoking desert skies at sunset. What are you thinking for a Rockies tweak? One idea I had was to go straight purple, dropping the black entirely, or pairing purple with green, a la the team's City Connect look. How's this? RAYS ROAD: MARLINS HOME ALT: D-BACKS HOME: D-BACKS ROAD ALT:

I'm so incredibly sorry. I don't know what to say. I pray you and your daughter can cherish your time together with your wife.

The Bond set turned out great! Very clean and classy-looking. Thanks for tackling my request!
-
The all-caps version of the wordmark is a definite improvement. I'd like to see the all-caps applied to the road wordmark, as well. I also LOVE the crossed pickaxe and bat logo. Nice work! My only big critique of the set as whole is that the primary shade of purple looks a little too washed out for my tastes. I would try out a richer shade, closer to what the team uses in real life.

Ask and ye shall receive: Ah, got it. How about a simplified version of that logo for the jersey crest, like an actual badge?

Are you referring to the D-Backs designs?
-
I know it sucks, but I guess you should be flattered! How is your wife doing?

Thank you! And good suggestion to remove drop shadows. I had completely forgotten that Arizona actually used a non-drop shadowed version of that script, so I don't know why I didn't just use that to begin with. The other solution would've been to add drop shadows to the numbers, which I didn't want to do. How about replacing not cream, but black with that shade of copper you shared? I feel I still need a very light color like cream or white trim to break up the other three colors, or my concept is going to wind up having the same problem as those original D-Backs uniforms. As for the snake "db," the premise of this series was updating the expansion teams' original looks, and the "db" wasn't introduced until 2007. While I don't mind that logo, I would never choose it over the original snake, and two snake-themed logos on one design would be overkill, in my opinion. @fortunat1 @VampyrRabbit here's an update of the D-Backs incorporating both of your suggestions: D-BACKS HOME: D-BACKS ROAD: D-BACKS HOME ALT: D-BACKS ROAD ALT: I opted to drop the pinstripes from the road set, because I realized the D-Backs were probably just chasing trends as road pins were big in the '90s, and I like the idea of the Padres owning that look in the NL West in the present day. I feel the non-pinstriped version looks cleaner. Also, despite the fact that I pretty much eliminated black from this version, I kept the black alt because it looks too good not to use. C&C appreciated!

Given the thought process behind the Rangers set, I guess I'm not surprised the Mariners design pays homage to the history of baseball in Seattle, though I would've loved to see something referencing the Rainiers instead of or in addition to the Pilots. Maybe there will be in one of the small details once the set is officially unveiled.
-
Thanks, guys! Sorry, but I don't really understand your request. Do you want one of the Rangers' regular scripts or logos incorporated into the City Connect design somehow?
-
See, this City Connect set is why I felt it was the wrong move for Seattle to drop their gray road jersey instead of their Sunday home alts. They now have two separate looks in their rotation that are royal blue and athletic gold, despite the team’s primary colors being Northwest green and navy. Dumb.

Thanks! Wrapping up today with the D-Backs: D-BACKS HOME: D-BACKS ROAD: D-BACKS HOME ALT: D-BACKS ROAD ALT: Notes: - A few years back, someone on this forum suggested the D-Backs split the difference between their original purple and current Sedona red and roll with a shade of magenta, so that's what I did here. The color evokes the purple of the early D-Backs, but it's different enough that you'd avoid comparisons with the division rival Rockies. - I went back and forth on whether to put Arizona in vests for their home look but ultimately decided against it. For my money, only a few teams in MLB have ever truly looked good in vests (Pirates, Reds, A's and maybe Rockies) and sleeveless jerseys feel like one of those fads that's best left in the late '90s-early 2000s. - No tacky "D-Backs" wordmark on either of the alts, just "Arizona" and the "A" logo. - One of my big issues with the original D-Backs uniforms was the combination of multiple muted colors, so in addition to magenta replacing purple, copper is replaced with the yellowish off-white from the home uniform. - Decided to use the rounded numbers from the team's 2007-15- look. C&C appreciated! No reason to touch the Rockies, unless someone can make a compelling case for it.

Up today are the Rangers! Notes: - I really like what Texas did so no major changes, the biggest being swapping the "TX" and numbers on the front of the jersey. Placing the logo on the right breast seems like a case of being different just for the sake of it, but the end result looks awkward. - The new set is allegedly "pitch blue" but looks black to me, so I just went black. - I added some red to the top of the socks to create some much-needed visual separation from the pants. - Lastly, red trim is applied to the cap logo. And here are a few variations I worked up: First up, for those who aren't big on dark pants with light colored jerseys, here's an inverted version: Next, I wanted to try a monochrome black look: And since the Rangers have sadly retired their red alternates this season, a red version: Note: I had to add outlines to the logos and numbers for this one, since the black did not pop enough against the red. Lastly, I was curious how the set would look in the Rangers' usual colors: C&C appreciated!

Still looks black to me.

This is proof to me that white/off-white jerseys with darker colored pants can work:
-
Why do you say that? The socks are black and red, the same colors as this set, and the Braves socks that leaked at the same time as all the other teams were consistent with the Braves design.
-
Sneak peek at the Rangers City Connect set: Was not expecting a cream-colored jersey with black pants.
-
Agreed! Thanks for the feedback! Very fair point about the number of sleeve patch variations. Here's a tweaked version: MARLINS HOME: MARLINS ROAD: MARLINS HOME ALT: MARLINS ROAD ALT: The same "M" logo now appears on three of the four jerseys, with the flying fish/ST cap logo on the home alt. I also tweaked the color pattern of the sleeve stripes on the road jersey.
-
On second thought, how about adding a touch of orange to the Marlins' teal & black? MARLINS HOME: MARLINS ROAD: MARLINS HOME ALT: MARLINS ROAD ALT: After all, orange was a big part of Florida's 2003-11 alternate logo, as well as the team's original alternate logo. This makes the uniforms pop a lot better than with silver, IMO.

Man, that Indiana design is great, especially with the added front numbers. The checkered trim gives the jersey a ton of personality. I'm wondering if the "I" on the cap might read better if you went with a white front paneled cap, making the "I" navy to match the wordmark? Hawaii and Colorado are also awesome. Colorado looks like the basis for a much-needed Rockies identity refresh. Any chance we could see your original version with the mountains inside the "C"? Texas - It could just be my eyes, but the red and navy piping seems to bleed together. Maybe separating the piping with a white stripe would help that? And I agree with @chestnutz that the cap logo does look like a stylized "I" with horns. Keep up the awesome work! You keep hitting home runs with this series.

How about Bond?
-
I only remember hearing "Isle" as a kid, but I just Googled it and you're correct.
-
As a big Thomas fan growing up, I LOVE this concept, especially the baseball set. The colors work beautifully together. One nitpick: The fictional location from the series was the "Isle of Sodor," not "Island."

Idea for a Braves fauxback:
