    That's definitely an improvement!

    Looks like this set will fall into the category of City Connect designs that look like they could be a team's regular alternate (a la the White Sox) rather than looking like the uniform of a completely different team.

    Colombia looks good! One nitpick I have is the sleeve stripes are so thin that they bleed together, almost looking purple or brown. Any chance of restoring the thicker stripes, a la their current uniforms?

    How about something resembling the Brewers' '90s Motre Bame font for Germany? Also, the number font is a little too minor league-ish for my tastes. Great Britain looks great, though admittedly, just about anything would be an improvement over their actual uniforms, haha. The swoopy "R" alone makes a world of a difference, and royal blue over navy was a great choice. The sleeve stripes are really sharp, as well.

    Thank you! Up today are Texas Mustangs! MUSTANGS HOME: MUSTANGS ROAD: MUSTANGS HOME ALT: MUSTANGS HOME/ROAD ALT: Notes: - The Rangers mascot is a palomino horse with a really dumb name—“Rangers Captain.” Since “Palominos” is too long and unwieldy, I settled on “Mustangs,” which evokes speed, strength and beauty. - The "Mustangs" script comes from the Billings Mustangs, a minor league team from the 1960s. - Rust and black replace blue and red, giving the team a bit of a Texas Longhorns look. - The horse is re-purposed from this Charlotte Knights logo, recolored with a white mane to better resemble a Palomino. C&C appreciated as always!

    I actually love this look, but I'd prefer if the racing stripes had a white stripe separating the red and blue.

    Thanks! Not a bad idea! Here's how that would look: Let's finish off the week with the final NL team in the series, the Colorado Trikes! TRIKES HOME: TRIKES ROAD: TRIKES HOME/ROAD ALT: Notes: - Dinger the Triceratops was chosen as Colorado's mascot due to the prevalence of dinosaur fossils found throughout the region. Shoutout to @Carolingian Steamroller for the name suggestion! - The split-style font for the script is, appropriately enough, called "Dinger." - Dinger is often rendered in a much lighter shade of purple than the one the Rockies actually use, so I went with a double purple color scheme for the Trikes, with lavender replacing black. - A smiling Dinger, in the vein of the Orioles' cartoon bird or Mr. Redlegs, appears on the sleeve. Hope you're happy with how these turned out, @DTConcepts. C&C appreciated!

    Looks great!

    The red jersey is nice, but I think I actually prefer the black one. Good work! Could we see a white front paneled cap for Canada, to further the obvious Blue Jays inspiration?

    Been meaning to comment on the last few teams: Brazil - I think the jerseys would benefit from some front numbers, like this. That aside, fantastic design. Canada - This isn't a criticism of your concept specifically, but I think the road jersey would work better if you flipped the colors of the script. China - I think the red jersey might look better with a white stroke around the script rather than a darker red one, but I love everything else about this set! Colombia - One of my nitpicks about Colombia's real life set is how there's red on the cap but nowhere else on the rest of the uniform. Similarly, while I really like your redesign, I wish the red wasn't relegated to just the sleeves. How about red front numbers outlined in gold on the home and road jerseys? Otherwise, this is a huge upgrade over their current uniforms. Chinese Taipei, Cuba, the Czech Republic and the DR look perfect as-is. Keep up the great work!
  11. coco1997
    Bingo!

    Really enjoyed seeing Team Mexico's alternates in action last night: Too bad they couldn't get matching equipment, because the green and red helmets with baby blue and pink looked awful.
  13. coco1997
    Thanks! The shade of blue is actually the original shade used by the Royals. Maybe pairing it with so much gold incidentally makes it looks more purple than it actually is. Thanks a lot! I'll work up a racing striped version of the Phanatics when I finish the series. Next up are the Boston Green Monsters! GREEN MONSTERS HOME: GREEN MONSTERS ROAD: GREEN MONSTERS HOME/ROAD ALT: - As @Megildur correctly guessed, the Red Sox become the Green Monsters. The name, of course, refers to both Boston's mascot Wally and the infamous huge left field wall at Fenway Park. - With Monster green being fairly muted, I chose Wally's more lime shade, which paired better with navy. Early on I briefly considered using green, navy AND red, but it wound up looking too gaudy. - I tried and tried to figure out a way for the home jersey to say "Green Monsters" but just couldn't make it work. "Boston" is therefore used on both the home and road jerseys, with the Boston "B" on the alt. - Never in a million years did I think I'd have a reason to use Boston's creepy 1950-59 alternate logo for a concept, but it came in handy here. I modified this logo by adding a big round nose and eye black to help him more closely resemble Wally. - The green front paneled cap is inspired by these one-and-dones used by the Red Sox in 1974. - Solid navy pants are a nod to those worn by Wally. - Front numbers, which Boston has historically NOT used, helped complete the look. C&C appreciated! I should have the next team up by Friday.

    The Rays x Expos design is very cool!
  15. coco1997
    Very fair point. How about a white script, somewhat evoking the Royals' old powder blues? How's this? I tried to roll in elements from as many different past Monarchs uniforms as possible, while keeping gold as the connective tissue to the primary uniforms. Also, I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the previous few teams, @VampyrRabbit. Thanks!
  16. coco1997
    Personally, I think the red script would be tough to read on a blue background.
  17. coco1997
    Disagree. Japan and Mexico's jerseys are MLB-caliber to me. No gradients, weird graphics or other gimmicky elements. Just clean, classy uniforms. EDIT: I guess my one nitpick with Japan is the use of red on the caps when it doesn't appear anywhere on the rest of their uniforms.

    Thanks! Thanks! I don't know if I really get the Giants comparison for the Bears, though. Up today are the Kansas City Lions! LIONS HOME: LIONS ROAD: LIONS HOME ALT: LIONS ROAD ALT: Notes: - The Royals' mascot is Sluggerrr (yep, that's three "R's). Lions have been depicted as symbols of royalty and courage for centuries. - KC has always included shades of gold in their identity, but seldomly has it been incorporated into their actual uniforms. Here, gold becomes the dominant color at home with the team going more blue-heavy on the road. - The "Lions" script comes from the Seibu Lions of the NPB and matches KC's "Royals" script quite well. I added a tail to make it more consistent with the Royals' script. - The cartoon lion on the sleeve was previously used by the Omaha Royals (now Storm Chasers), Kansas City's Triple-A affiliate. And with this latest rebrand, the AL Central would effectively be: C&C appreciated!

    Colombian kids: "Can we get Red Sox City Connect jerseys?" Colombian parents: "We have Red Sox City Connect jerseys at home."
  20. coco1997
    Did we get confirmation that the D-Backs' purple and teal throwbacks are being designated as a official alt?
  21. coco1997
    Thank you both! As @MJD7 pointed out, I somehow forgot to use the updated version of the Twins' "TC," so I'll likely get around to tweaking that once I finish this series. Happy Phriday! It's time for the Philly Phanatics! Notes: PHANATICS HOME: PHANATICS ROAD: PHANATICS HOME ALT: PHANATICS ROAD ALT: Notes: - I should have clarified (warned?) in my first post in this thread that a LOT of teams in this project would make heavy use of green. The Phanatics aren't the first, and they won't be the last. - Phanatic green is paired with the Phillies' old burgundy to create a new and distinctive color scheme. - I worked up new "Philly" and "Phanatics" scripts in the style of the Phillies' 1970s-80s wordmark. - A playful rendering of the Phanatic occupies the sleeve of the home primary and road alt. C&C appreciated! Another team will be up in the next few days.

    Nice job on the last couple teams! Pink is a bold departure from Japan's regular look and I think it could work, but I would use it a little more sparingly. For example, on the home jersey, I'd keep the wordmark navy but add a pink stroke around it. Also, would the pink alt w/ white pinstripes be paired with matching pants or solid white ones?
  23. coco1997
    Great start to this series! The racing striped Argentina alt is a thing of beauty. For Australia, is it possible to slightly arch the wordmark you used without making it look distorted? I think that would be a happy medium between their current script and this one. Keep up the great work!
  24. coco1997
    You'll just have to wait and see. Other than the World Series scandal, I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Yeah, I get that. The other obvious solution is just to ditch the alien altogether and replace all instances of it with the cap logo, but I really wanted to incorporate some sort of alien imagery, hence the addition of a martian-like green. Anyway, next up are the Twin City Bears! BEARS HOME: BEARS ROAD: BEARS HOME/ROAD ALT: Notes: - Minnesota's mascot is T.C. Bear, who's loosely modeled after the Hamm's Beer Bear. Hamm's was an early sponsor of the Twins in the 1960s. - For the primary logo, I had the idea to combine the Twins' TC with the Cubs' old 1908-14 bat-wielding bear logo. Here's a close-up of that logo. - The home script is a reworking of this 1960s Denver Bears script - With the team rebranding from "Minnesota" to "Twin Cities," this allowed me to use the script from the Twins' new Sunday home alternate as the road wordmark. C&C appreciated!

    Thanks! Thank you! I've been enjoying your series as well and I hope you continue to follow along with mine. I'm back today with the Houston Orbit! ORBIT HOME: ORBIT ROAD: ORBIT HOME ALT: ORBIT ROAD ALT: Notes: - I've always loved the idea of an MLB team with an extraterrestrial-themed identity, so I had a lot of fun with this one. - Similar to the Parrots, Houston gets a heavy dose of green added to their look to go with their usual navy and orange. - Orbit is the rare MLB mascot to have a logo of his own, a very cool ringed baseball resembling the planet Saturn. I modified this logo and added the Astros "H" to turn it into the Orbit's primary logo. For the sleeve design and road alt, I repurposed the alien head from the now-defunct Las Vegas 51s minor league team. - Big thanks to @Victormrey who gave me the idea to rework the 1960s Astros' script into a new "Orbit" wordmark! C&C appreciated! Another AL team is next.
