    Fair comment, but you'll notice that the actual uniforms from this era did in fact use black stirrups with white sanitaries. My '69-70 home and alt designs above use white socks. Very true. As I mentioned, the only way this could work in real life is if the Pirates owned a color scheme other than black and gold. Up today we have the 1941-45 Cubs! CUBS 1941-45 HOME: CUBS 1941-45 ROAD: The Cubs' 1941-45 primary logo features a fearsome growling brown bear without a trace of the Cubs' secondary color of red. Blue is emphasized at home and brown on the road. The khaki color from their 1908-10 logo serves as the base for the away uniform. C&C appreciated!

    Thanks! And you're absolutely correct about the similarity to those Wizards uniforms. Up today we have the 1950s-1960s White Sox! WHITE SOX 1951-63 HOME: WHITE SOX 1951-63 ROAD: WHITE SOX 1969-70 HOME: WHITE SOX 1969-70 ROAD: WHITE SOX 1969-70 ALT: From 1949-70, the the White Sox used this sharp roundel logo. I decided to go gold logos and numbers on the '69-70 home set similar to the A's. If the Pirates didn't have a monopoly on black and gold, I think this is a color scheme the White Sox could absolutely own. Big thanks to @Carolingian Steamroller for the consult on this one. C&C appreciated!

    Thanks! Next up are the Disney era Anaheim Angels: ANGELS 1997-2001 HOME: ANGELS 1997-2001 ROAD: ANGELS 1997-2001 ALT: This Angels' 1997-2001 alternate logo is oddly devoid of any red which is the Angels' signature color. To that end, this design replaces red with the metallic gold from that alternate logo. This is definitely one of the most "late '90s" designs I've ever done. I also decided to go all in on periwinkle as the base color of the road set. C&C appreciated!

    After a few months of inactivity, I'm back! My latest inspiration came from old logos. Looking through the history of teams' primary and alternate logos on the mothership, I found that there were several teams throughout MLB history whose former logos made prominent use of colors that never appeared anywhere on their actual uniforms. So the next phase of this series is MLB teams in old primary and alternate logo colors. We start today with the 2003-11 Florida Marlins: MARLINS 2003-11 HOME: MARLINS 2003-11 ROAD: MARLINS 2003-11 ALT: The Marlins' 2003-11 alternate logo features a sunburst of orange that never appeared on any of their actual uniforms from that era. The home set is a hybrid of their original sleeveless jerseys using the "F" crest from their 2003-07 home alternates, and the road jersey uses the superior arched "FLORIDA" script from their inaugural road design. I also whipped up a teal alt based on their BP jerseys from the time to replace their drab black alternates. C&C appreciated. Another team will be up soon!

    The Chicago Dogs will be donning Homestead Grays unis for their game against the Kansas City Monarchs tonight: Not sure why they didn't choose the uniforms of a Chicago team, but I'm always happy to see Negro League teams in action.

    This is what the Marlins uniforms should look like.

    Thanks! Here's a version without white:

    Hmm, I don't really see that. The red is quite distinct from Dolphins orange. Up today we have the San Francisco Giants: Is it me, or does it feel like these City Connect designs have been getting worse and worse? Anyway, I tried to do what I could with the Giants. The biggest change is that I made the jersey sky blue. Orange and white seems too plain, and if the concept is supposed to be based on the visual effect of the Bay's fog against the Golden Gate bridge, it makes sense to incorporate sky blue. I also replaced orange with the official Pantone color of the Golden Gate Bridge--Pantone 180, which is much more of a rusty red than Giants orange. Lastly, while I don't dislike the "G" on the jersey as much as others, I decided to swap it out for the "SF" monogram. Big thanks to @MJD7 for the bridge design. Here's hoping the Dodgers designs ends the season on a high note. C&C appreciated!

    How about the Rays? Those colors sounds like they could work for the other Florida team. Or even the Mets, who briefly toyed with using a black and pink color scheme before settling on royal blue and orange.
  10. coco1997
    You just gave me an idea for a concept series.

    Here's a version of the Red Sox in Fenway green I worked up: This time around, I kept the script and number styles from the original City Connect design, but I traded the Marathon colors for Fenway green and red. I also made the "B" cap logo match the stencil style of the script. I originally tried the design with red scripts and white outlines, but the contrast wasn't very good.
  12. coco1997
    Thanks! Another idea for the White Sox. I swapped out the "Southside" script for my gothic "Chicago" script:
  13. coco1997
    How about now?

    This was a weird idea for a design but here you go: CARDINALS HOME: CARDINALS ROAD: CARDINALS HOME/ROAD ALT: Tan and black on its own is too drab so I still kept some red but tried to relegate it to a trim color. And since a gray road uni with tan/khaki scripts & logos would look horrible (I'm looking at you, Diamondbacks City Connect uniforms) I made tan the base of the road set. The black alt could be worn at home or on the road. C&C appreciated!

    A few tweaks for the end of the week... First, I wanted to re-post a Cubs tweak I shared in another thread. Just a blue version of my original design: Next, a tweaked version of my original D-Backs design, using the triangle sleeve patch and a less yellow shade of sand: Big thanks to @Umachines for the cleaned up logos and scripts! Lastly, I wanted to see what the White Sox City Connect numbers would look like on their regular uniforms: WHITE SOX HOME: WHITE SOX ROAD: WHITE SOX HOME/ROAD ALT: C&C appreciated!
  16. coco1997
    How's this?
  17. coco1997
    So something like this? It's still dramatically different than Boston's regular look, but I agree that a blue-dominant uniform would probably have been better received than the yellow jersey.
  18. coco1997
    Thank you! Yes, the red with the black definitely hearkens back to the late '50s Sox (their best look, in my opinion). Thanks! @johne9109 I can definitely play around with Coyotes colors for the D-Backs. I'm not against using Sedona red, but only in addition to a "classic" color like purple or turquoise. Up today we finally have the Red Sox! I think Nike really blew it by launching the City Connect program with Boston's set. The problem is that absolutely nothing about this uniform screams "Red Sox," and I think that really dashed people's expectations right off the bat. For my tweak, I used a non-arched version of Boston's Tuscan script along with stencil style numbers akin to the actual jersey's script. I also went with a yellow cap logo because I'm not a fan of the blue on blue look. Not as major of a change as Arizona, but I think it's an improvement. C&C appreciated! New tweaks will be posted as additional teams are unveiled.

    Thanks! I actually decided to tweak my Braves design a bit, making the tan/sand color the base of the road uniform and replacing gray entirely: BRAVES ROAD: BRAVES ROAD ALT: Cool idea! I'll work on that next. Today we have the Red Sox: RED SOX HOME: RED SOX ROAD: RED SOX HOME ALT: RED SOX ROAD ALT: To the surprise of probably no one, I gave the Red Sox a touch of Fenway green. I've done the Red Sox in red and green before, so it was fun/challenging trying to balance all three colors in one design. C&C appreciated! Let me know if you have any team + color requests.
  20. coco1997
    Fair enough. The silver is just fine, but I thought the red would be a bit more distinctive. Any feedback on the first two teams? Skipping the Red Sox for now to post my D-Backs tweak: I wanted to get my Arizona concept up while the D-Backs City Connect unis were still fresh in the news. I'm pretty disappointed the team kept their very generic black and Sedona red color scheme when three of the other City Connect teams so far have been treated to new color schemes by Nike, so this one undergoes some pretty significant changes. First, I replaced Sedona red with turquoise and added a turquoise outline to the script and back numbers. Second, I used pinstripes, as they add a bit more character to the design and are a nod to the D-Backs' classic original look. Third, even without having seen the full uniform on the field, I already know I'm not going to like the sand colored top + white pants combo, so I made the pants sand as well to complete the look. Once I get a clearer look at the triangle sleeve patch, I can add that to the socks and sleeve. C&C appreciated! The Red Sox are next (for real, this time).

    I unabashedly love those Disco Turkeys uniforms. Sharp color scheme and the Braves-esque feather design on the sleeves is really well executed. A rare example of a minor/independent league team with a stupid name but great logos and uniforms. On another note, the Chicago Dogs will be having a Negro League Tribute night on 8/14 and will be wearing "special uniforms" as they face the Kansas City Monarchs: https://thechicagodogs.com/promotional-schedule/text-2021-promotional-schedule/

    Thanks! Today we have the Crosstown rival White Sox: As a White Sox fan, I really like the South Sider's City Connect unis. However, I wanted to try the design with red in place of silver, both as a nod to the local Bulls and Blackhawks and also because it's a color scheme commonly suggested for the team. I'm also not a big fan of the "Chi" cap logo, so I replaced it with a tasteful Old English "C." Lastly, WHITE SOCKS. The Red Sox are next!
  23. coco1997
    I decided I'll just use this thread to post my City Connect tweaks for each team as they roll out. Today we have the Marlins: Even though I actually really like Miami's City Connect colors, I wanted to try the design in a teal and orange scheme which I've long felt are the colors the Fish should use full time. I also made the front panel of the cap white so the crown logo pops a little better. C&C appreciated!
  24. coco1997
    I see what you did there. Up this evening are the Atlanta Braves: BRAVES HOME: BRAVES ROAD: BRAVES HOME ALT: BRAVES ROAD ALT: For the Braves, I used the tan/cream color from the unused 2021 All-Star Game logo. I figured the feathered sleeves design would be yet another touch to set the Braves apart from the other navy & red teams. C&C appreciated. The Red Sox are next!
  25. coco1997
    While I'm pretty happy with how the Cubs City Connect uniforms turned out given how poorly the initial jersey leak was received, I still think it would have been interesting had the team gone with a solid green design to mimic the famous ivy on Wrigley's outfield walls. Let me know what you think!
