    Hey, I can be objective about uniforms of teams I hate.
  2. coco1997
    Thank you! Thanks for the feedback! Here are your suggested tweaks to the Bobcats home set: Since there wasn't much contrast between the off-white and sand, I changed the trim color for the script and numbers. Here you go: And since you're a big fan of sleeveless jerseys, @VampyrRabbit, I think you'll like the next team. Up today are the Oakland Elephants! ELEPHANTS HOME: ELEPHANTS ROAD: ELEPHANTS HOME ALT: ELEPHANTS HOME/ROAD ALT: Notes: - The elephant has been a symbol of the A's dating back to their time in Philadelphia over a century ago, with Stomper becoming the team's official mascot in 1997. - I used this rebrand to put forth my idea of what the A's should look like, bringing back sleeveless jerseys with McAuliffe style numbers and the arched Old English "Oakland" wordmark from the late '60s. - Just as the Athletics use the shorthand "A's" on their caps and uniforms, I created a new "E's" logo in that same blackletter style. - I briefly toyed with using an elephant gray and white color scheme but decided it would be a sacrilege to mess with the A's iconic green and gold. C&C appreciated!

    Great job on Australia. A few suggestions/requests: - Since the primary green is so muted, maybe lighten up the road gray just a tad for better contrast with the green piping. I know it's a bit of a balancing act because you also used neon green. - For the alt, how about putting the cap logo on the chest in place of the "Australia" script? It's too good not to put front and center and would avoid having three jerseys that all use the same wordmark. Keep up the awesome work!

    Sure seems that way:

    Agreed! I'm glad the team decided to complement their sand-colored City Connect jerseys with sand pants starting last season. Let's finish up the week with the Seattle Moose! MOOSE HOME: MOOSE ROAD: MOOSE HOME ALT: MOOSE ROAD ALT: Notes: - No one knows why Seattle's mascot is a moose. Ok, the actual reason is because it won a kids' contest in 1990 to vote for the next Mariners mascot. - The colors are a dark, moose-y brown and teal from the Seattle flag. I also kept the off-white/cream from the team's Sunday fauxbacks because I felt it gave the uniforms a nice vintage feel. - Since there's no cartoony animal logo this time around, I added antlers to the "M" logo. C&C appreciated! Another AL West team will be up soon.

    Thanks, I didn’t realize that. I guess I must’ve just been picturing spring training games.

    Agreed. Monochrome navy is a great look for the Cubs; never mind the fact that they wear their royal blue alternates with pinstriped pants as it is.

    Thank you for following along! Agreed! I'm always down for a bird (or any animal, for that matter) themed identity. Next up are the Arizona Bobcats! BOBCATS HOME: BOBCATS ROAD: BOBCATS HOME/ROAD ALT: Notes: - The Diamondbacks' mascot Baxter is based on another desert-dwelling creature, the bobcat. - This one required a slight shift from the D-Backs' current color scheme, with a reddish-brown replacing black. - While I had wanted to use Arizona's current font for the scripts & numbers, I couldn't find it anywhere online, so I wound up using the team's original typeface, which I found works just as well, if not better. - Inspired by Arizona's City Connect uniforms, I went with a solid sand-colored look for the road set. C&C appreciated as always!

    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!
  14. coco1997
    The NL East is next: PHILLIES: BRAVES: METS: MARLINS: NATIONALS:
  15. coco1997
    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!
  16. coco1997
    Moving on to the AL West: ASTROS: MARINERS: ANGELS: RANGERS: ATHLETICS:
  17. coco1997
    NL Central: CARDINALS: BREWERS: CUBS: PIRATES: REDS:
  18. coco1997
    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?
  19. 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:
  20. coco1997
    Looks great! I like the contrasting headspoon piping.
  21. 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:
  22. coco1997
    Now the big question is whether they'll be adding light blue pants to go with the light blue alts.
  23. 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.
  25. coco1997
    A drop shadowed Old English "D" is something I've never seen done before on a Tigers concept. I like it!
