    The split-styled "Panama" alt is incredible! Probably my favorite design of any team so far.

    Hi all, I've been working on this project the past few months. A while back I had the idea to rebrand as many MLB team as possible using each team's respective mascot as inspiration. 01. Pittsburgh Parrots 02. Arizona Bobcats 03. Seattle Moose 04. Oakland Elephants 05. Washington Eagles 07. San Francisco Seals 08. Houston Orbits 09. Twin City Bears 10. Philly Phanatics 11. Kansas City Lions 12. Boston Green Monsters 13. Colorado Trikes 14. Texas Mustangs 15. Chicago Southpaws 16. Los Angeles Koalas 17. Cleveland Sliders 18. Los Angeles Robins 19. Anaheim Rally Monkeys For those who do me the honor of following along, keep in mind that not all 30 clubs will be represented, as a few teams' mascots are inspired by their team itself (Clark the Cub, Bernie Brewer, Mr. Met, etc.) while some teams are without mascot altogether (Yankees, Dodgers, Angels). I'm really proud of this series and had a lot of fun working on it. We'll start today with the Pittsburgh Parrots: PARROTS HOME: PARROTS ROAD: PARROTS HOME ALT: PARROTS HOME/ROAD ALT: Notes: - Pittsburgh's mascot the past 40+ seasons has been the Pirate Parrot, with parrots often depicted perched on pirates' shoulders - A lime-like parrot green becomes the team's primary color, with black shifting to more of a trim/tertiary color - I worked up a "Parrots" wordmark in the MLB Pirates font - A cartoony rendering of the Pirate Parrot occupies the jerseys' left sleeve Feedback is welcome! I'll have another team up shortly.

    I'd love to see the Marlins' original look return but with orange replacing black. Teal and black always felt too "cold" looking for a team playing in a warm climate team like Florida. Teal and orange would create some nice visual synergy with the Dolphins and make for a nice combination of their 1993-2011 and 2012-2018 eras.

    Sorry, but this is the best I have: Finishing up the divisions today with the AL Central! A few small tweaks to the Royals: I chose a different "K" for the cap (the previous version looked too awkward) and made the undersleeves royal blue. GUARDIANS: WHITE SOX: TWINS: TIGERS: ROYALS: C&C appreciated, and thanks for following along!

    The NL East is next: PHILLIES: BRAVES: METS: MARLINS: NATIONALS:

    The sunrise colors-shadows under the "Astros" wordmark are a unique idea and you executed it well. Consider adding front numbers to the home jersey and navy alt because they look a bit naked without them. Nice job!
  7. coco1997
    Moving on to the AL West: ASTROS: MARINERS: ANGELS: RANGERS: ATHLETICS:

    NL Central: CARDINALS: BREWERS: CUBS: PIRATES: REDS:

    The Rays look great. My main suggestion would be to figure out a way to avoid having the same wordmark on every single jersey, which is the same problem I have with the Rays' actual uniforms. Maybe the purple road alt could have the green "tb" cap logo on the breast?
  10. coco1997
    Next up is the AL East. One small tweak: I replaced the Orioles "O's" cap logo with the ornate "B" from the sleeve. YANKEES: BLUE JAYS: RAYS: ORIOLES: RED SOX:
  11. coco1997
    Looks great! I like the contrasting headspoon piping.
  12. coco1997
    As a White Sox fan, I'd take that as a compliment no matter how you meant it. First division up is the NL West: DODGERS: PADRES: GIANTS: D-BACKS: ROCKIES:
  13. coco1997
    Now the big question is whether they'll be adding light blue pants to go with the light blue alts.
  14. coco1997
    Thanks! I found a website carrying the design on a T-shirt here. Thanks! I'll work on other ideas for the D-Backs jersey. Wrapping up the series today with the Marlins and Miami Stadium! Notes: - Yes, I know the stadium where the Marlins play is Loan Depot Park, but before that it was called Marlins Park, so let's just go with that. - My design makes heavy use of lime green, inspired by the brightly-colored outfield walls at Marlins Park before they were repainted a few seasons ago. - The horizontal stripes across the front and back of the jersey are based on the work of Venezuelan artist Carlos Cruz-Diez (1923-2019), whose artwork "Chromatic Induction in Double Frequency" adorns the walkways leading into the ballpark. - Multi-colored parabola-like designs on the sleeves are meant to resemble the infamous home run sculpture formerly in the stadium's outfield. And that's a wrap on this series! C&C appreciated on the Marlins and any previous teams. Next, I plan on re-posting the team division by division, for those interested in seeing them presented that way. Stay tuned!

    The Mariners one is nice. Wouldn't mind if they had a cap for regular season games with just the compass on it. It's a sharp look.
  16. coco1997
    A drop shadowed Old English "D" is something I've never seen done before on a Tigers concept. I like it!
  17. coco1997
    The black and red looks really nice for Cleveland. I’ve always enjoyed your concepts, so I’m looking forward to what else you’ve got!
  18. coco1997
    That's the thing, though. The Heat wear these colors only occasionally, but to this point have withheld from committing to them full time. If done properly, it's a color scheme the Fish could totally own.

    Give me THIS:

    The Marlins should absolutely have a home alternate in that gorgeous shade of blue they use (think these but with front numbers added) but yeah, they are not a powder blue team.
  21. coco1997
    If the design of a uniform has to be compromised to accommodate ad patches, MLB will have officially lost the plot.
  22. coco1997
    I sure hope this is the case. It was always dumb that they had separate home and road "alts" that were essentially just their primary sets with some added turquoise trim. They should add turquoise to the rest of their uniforms and call it a day, though I'd prefer they just go back to purple, turquoise and copper.

    I know we’re probably not going to get a Marlins redesign anytime soon, but this new Negro League pullover from Ebbets Field is cooler than anything the Marlins have ever worn: https://www.ebbets.com/products/miami-giants-vintage-inspired-nl-replica-v-neck-mesh-jersey?ref=isp_rel_prd&isp_ref_pos=1
  24. coco1997
    Yeah, I guess that counts. The matching raglan sleeves definitely help make it work, though.
  25. coco1997
    Has a team ever worn a colored jersey with light blue pants? I think it looks fine in concept form but I'm not sure it would look good on the field.
