Good luck at the updated Dodgers City Connect caps on the field:
-
Heh. I don't disagree. The problem is, with the exception of their dalliance with black unis in the early 2000s, the Royals identity has remained quite consistent over their 50+ years of existence, so there really isn't another distinctive era I could style the Cardinals after. Even powder blue road unis are something the Cards did and are doing again now. Up next are the two Canadian teams! BLUE JAYS x 1981 EXPOS I gave the Jays the racing striped, pinwheel cap-wearing look of the 1980-91 Expos. The number style is consistent with what the Jays used at the time, minus the split design. EXPOS x 2001 BLUE JAYS It's not a look I'm particularly fond of, but I decided to try the Expos in the style of those early 2000s Blue Jays. I redid the "EXPOS" script to try to convey the same feeling of movement the "eMb" logo possesses. C&C appreciated as always! Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Thanks! Your feedback is always valued. Let's jump over to the state of Missouri for the next pair of teams! ROYALS x 1942 CARDINALS My Royals design is based on what's easily my favorite uniform in Cardinals history, their 1942-50 zipper-down set set with t-bars and navy crowned cap. I was originally going to go with blue piping, but gold ended up looking much more distinctive. CARDINALS x 2002 ROYALS My Cards design imagines what the team would look like had they went all-in on the Black for Black's Sake trend of the early 2000s the way the Royals did. I went with a vest style jersey design with black replacing navy blue, while a drop shadowed version of the the birds-on-bat-less script comes from their 1956 set. C&C appreciated!

Got it! Here you go: Good call. How about something like this? Thanks! I agree about the green set looking better without outlines: I've also worked up a road set with an "Oakland" script in both gold and standard gray: Let me know what you think!
-
Thank you for the detailed feedback! It just so happens I already had your request for the A's ready to go. Went with standard block numbers: ATHLETICS x 1970 PHILLIES HOME: ATHLETICS x 1970 PHILLIES ROAD: ATHLETICS x 1970 PHILLIES HOME/ROAD ALT: Thanks! I've worked on shortening up the fibers of the wheat stalks, but I'm not sure what you mean with your suggestion about the horizontal tops. In the meantime, I've made your suggested tweak to the Braves, including thinning the "E" a bit: Nice idea! Here you go: Simple enough tweak for Texas: Thanks for the thorough feedback!

Inspired by @Victormrey's excellent New York Reds design and Todd Radom's recent podcast discussion about the Cardinals' failed move to Detroit in the 1930s, I decided to take a stab at imagining what the Redbirds would look like had they successfully migrated north. First, the road wordmark: CARDINALS HOME: CARDINALS ROAD: CARDINALS THROWBACK: A few notes: - I used the Red Wings' red, HEX #CE1126 - The biggest change is obviously the road wordmark, which replaces "Cardinals" with the "Detroit" script from the Tigers' road uniform. - While essentially the Cardinals unis, a few Tigers flourishes include fancy belt loops, headspoon piping and Detroit style block numbers. - Sleeve numbers replace front numbers a la the Tigers' late '60s road jerseys - The road set has a bluish tint to evoke the Cardinals' 1976-84 road powder blues - The throwback set is a recolored version of the Tigers' 1972-84 road uniforms C&C appreciated!

Up next, another take on the Crosstown Classic! WHITE SOX x 1978 CUBS I wanted to revisit the White Sox and Cubs because both teams (well, mainly the Sox) have such rich uniform histories. For my second stab at the Sox I modeled my design off the 1978 Cubs, who introduced powder blue road unis with white pinstripes. I used the blockier "CHICAGO" script, numbers and "Sox" monogram the South Siders used from the 1950s into the mid '60s. I also just love black and powder blue together. CUBS x 1976 WHITE SOX Ah yes, the infamous big-collared, reviled-by-Chris-Sale beer league style uniforms of the 1976-81 White Sox. The Cubs used a similar arched, Tuscan style "CUBS" script (and matching "C" cap logo in the '30s) from 1914-15 which helped make this design work. I tried to use red as minimally as possible so it felt faithful to the original Sox uniform but also distinctly Cubs. C&C appreciated!

Damn, these are sharp! A lot to like here.

Shameless plug for my tweak to the Rockies’ set:
-
Doesn't mean they can't still change for the better. Either consider replacing black with green or drop the secondary color altogether and just be a purple-only team. Even when they lightened their shade of purple a few years ago I still wasn't convinced the black was necessary.

Thanks, gentlemen! Up today is a Rockies tweak! ROCKIES: A few things I really like about the Rockies City Connect set unveiled today: 1. Green & purple is an excellent color combo and the Rockies should consider experimenting with it as their main colorway going forward 2. The mountain ridge on the jersey and matching green pants are experimental and bold 3. The numbers style What I don't like: 1. The cap logo design is too busy-looking to be worn on the field 2. The application of the mountain ridge would work better on a pullover than a button down jersey 3. The (partially) white on white back numbers. My tweaks: My biggest change was replacing the jersey script and cap logo with a recolored version of the Colorado flag "C." I don't mind the "Colorado" script used on the actual jersey, but I love the flag "C" and wanted to incorporate it somehow, and its simpler design lends itself better to a cap logo (despite its similarity to the Cubs' cap logo). For the back numbers, I borrowed from the 1975 Astros uniforms and the "tourist sticker"-inspiration of the actual cap logo, which utilizes sky blue and red and yellow from the state flag. I found a licence plate font called Car-Go Frame for the numbers. It's close to the numbers the actual uniforms use but not the exact same. Also went with a purple belt to amp up the purple element just a bit more. C&C appreciated!

Kind of weird that it’s called “Purple mountains majesty” when the mountains here are depicted in green.

Au contraire... Damn, that's a sweet jacket.

Speaking of Cigar City, I stumbled upon this fantastic concept on Twitter:
-
Based on the Rockies City Connect socks that leaked a few months back, we know it’s going to be a purple & green color scheme: https://twitter.com/angelsreddit/status/1528262014996340736?s=21&t=bJXNR-dQ8Snkh4DOnbOfkQ

I think this is probably just a fashion tee. Someone a page or two back posted a similar Tigers shirt with a "Motor City" graphic.
-
Thank you! The next set of teams is another relocation reversal! ATHLETICS x 1970 PHILLIES This design reimagines the A's in the style of the pinstriped, racing striped 1970s Phillies, with Kelly green and athletic gold replacing burgundy and powder blue. I also created a new "A's" cap/jersey logo using the '70s Phillies typeface. PHILLIES x 1970 ATHLETICS Admittedly, this Phillies design borrows elements from several A's uniforms from over the years, namely a vest-style jersey, a 1920-30s Old English "P" and rounded 1973 style numbers. C&C appreciated!

If the Padres hadn't unveiled their beautiful new uniforms a few seasons ago, I would agree with that sentiment.

Padres & Brewers City Connect socks:
-
This would be a definite upgrade. Full jersey scripts always look bad on the front of a cap, and especially on the field during an MLB game. The black bill is meh, but I guess they needed something to distinguish it from their everyday caps.
-
Thank you! Good call! Here's an updated set with brown/gold/orange striping on both the pants and sleeves: PADRES HOME: PADRES ROAD: PADRES HOME/ROAD ALT: Thanks! Here's the set with pinstripes: PADRES HOME: PADRES ROAD: PADRES HOME/ROAD ALT: Not really a direction I'd want to go in but it does still look pretty good.

Thanks! Thank you! The Twins and Brewers would have made sense, but I have something different planned for Minnesota. Up today is the Beltway Series! ORIOLES x 2011 NATIONALS For the O's, I opted for an orange-dominant design, inspired by the Nationals' current uniforms. The script "B" becomes the team's primary logo with the Maryland flag behind it akin to these now-retired Nats alternates. NATIONALS x 1971 ORIOLES The Nats get the "blood clot" treatment a la the 1971-72 mono-orange Orioles while the team's script and numbers remain the same. The red front panel on the cap is similar to these orange front paneled ones worn by Baltimore from '75-76. C&C appreciated as always!

Angels City Connect socks have apparently leaked: This is hinting at what would honestly be a good foundation for a future Angels redesign. Off-white uniforms with a script style "Angels" would be really nice.
-
Yeah, I was honestly shocked that when the Brewers rolled out their redesign in 2020 it wasn't accompanied by a powder blue road uniform.

I can’t seem to find the tweet you’re describing. Care to provide a link?
