    Up today are the Indians x Browns: INDIANS HOME: INDIANS ROAD: INDIANS HOME ALT: INDIANS ROAD ALT: The Indians and Browns played at Cleveland Municipal Stadium from 1946-93, and brown and orange seem to be a popular suggestion for the Indians' upcoming rebrand. I wanted to go with an Indians design that felt classic but contemporary, so I used their great mid-1940s look with contrasting sleeve/headspoon piping and wishbone "C" logo. I just love the dramatic radial arching on the road script. C&C appreciated. The Brewers x Packers are on deck!

    Next up are the Mariners x Seahawks: MARINERS HOME: MARINERS ROAD: MARINERS HOME ALT: MARINERS ROAD ALT: I love the Seahawks' classic royal blue and Kelly green scheme, and I think it fits pretty well with the Mariners' mid-80s look. Both teams played at the Kingdome from 1977-99. I wanted to find a way to keep the Mariners' racing stripes, but it got messy when it came time to design the alternates. C&C appreciated! The Indians x Browns will be up next.

    For the next phase of the series, I started to think about multi-sport stadiums. What if there was some insane rule that stated teams who shared the same stadium also had to share color schemes? Speaking of the Giants... GIANTS HOME: GIANTS ROAD: GIANTS HOME ALT: GIANTS ROAD ALT: The Giants are put in the colors of the San Francisco 49ers, with whom they occupied Candlestick Park from 1971-99. I brought back the Giants' 1977-82 script and emphasized gold as a secondary color over black, hence no black alternate. C&C appreciated! Another team will be up soon.

    No problem! After a short delay, here are the Angels in Lakers colors! ANGELS HOME ANGELS ROAD: ANGELS HOME ALT: ANGELS HOME/ROAD ALT: Between the Dodgers and Angels, it's much more likely that the Angels would ever change their colors (again) than the reigning World Series champs. I used the same basic design from my first stab at the Angels but added a white front paneled cap and ditched the drop shadows from my Mighty Ducks-colored version, since I'm only balancing two colors here rather than three. C&C appreciated, as always. I've come up with a way to continue this series, but I'm going to keep the next "phase" a secret for now. Watch this space!

    As requested by @jaytavo305, here are the Rockies in Denver Nuggets colors: ROCKIES HOME: ROCKIES ROAD: ROCKIES HOME ALT: ROCKIES ROAD ALT: This one is a pretty straightforward swap of navy for black, red for purple and gold for silver. I decided to give the road set pinstripes this time around, as the non-pinstriped version was too generic looking. Though I probably prefer my original design in Avalanche colors, this is a nice look, too. I like the allusion to the Colorado flag. My new Angels set will be up next!

    I think that would make them look far too much like the Mets. Skipping ahead for a bit, I decided to try the Dodgers in Chargers colors: DODGERS HOME: DODGERS ROAD: DODGERS HOME ALT: DODGERS ROAD ALT: I'm surprised by how much I like this look, which reminds me a lot of the UCLA Bruins baseball team. The road alt uses the T-bar design from the team's 1944 Brooklyn throwbacks. I considered incorporating navy from the Chargers' Color Rush unis, but I figured that would muddy up the look too much. Let me know what you think! I have another idea for the Angels, which I'll post soon.

    The Nats and Mariners scripts look odd without outlines.
  8. coco1997
    Thanks! I actually won't be doing any more teams other than maybe tweaking some previously posted clubs. The Dodgers are on the first page of this thread. I agree. The Rangers look great in blue and red, but I do like the idea of a team wearing olive green. Maybe not Texas, but some team. As @Megildur suggested, here are the Yankees in maroon: YANKEES HOME: YANKEES ROAD: YANKEES HOME/ROAD ALT: Not something I'd ever want to see on the field, but it's an interesting experiment nonetheless. The shade of maroon is a blend of the Yankees' navy and the red from their primary logo. C&C welcome! The Rockes in Nuggets colors are next.

    Thanks for the feedback! Here is the Rangers home set with the arched "RANGERS" script and a new gold home alt: RANGERS HOME: RANGERS HOME ALT: Hey, that's not a bad idea! I worked up a few options for the Rangers with olive in place of the Stars' green: RANGERS HOME: RANGERS ROAD RANGERS HOME ALT: RANGERS ROAD ALT: ...and here are the home and home alt with the arched "RANGERS" script: RANGERS HOME: RANGERS HOME ALT: I like these looks for the Rangers. Let me know what you think!

    No feedback on Houston, so here are the Rangers in Dallas Stars colors: RANGERS HOME: RANGERS ROAD: RANGERS HOME ALT: RANGERS ROAD ALT: Despite personally preferring the Spurs' fiesta colors for the Rangers, I understand the arguments made by @_DietDrPepper_, @Megildur and @the admiral for not putting a team that plays in Arlington in the colors of a San Antonio-based team. I tried to balance green, gold and black in such a way that the team wouldn't look too much like the division rival Athletics, which was the cause for my reluctance to try the Rangers in Stars colors to begin with. Let me know if this works better for them.

    Thanks! We've reached the final team in the series, the Houston Astros! ASTROS HOME ASTROS ROAD ASTROS HOME/ROAD ALT Despite not being much of a football fan, I’ve always loved the Houston Oilers’ uniforms, and for some reason their logo left a huge impression on me as a kid and helped spark my interest in sports design. Because in my re-colored universe both the Cubs and Tigers wear navy and orange, I decided the Astros would require a very different color scheme. Also, I figure one of the Texas teams should sport red, white and blue, so Houston it is. Therefore, in my recolored league, the Rangers look like the Spurs and the Astros look like the Rangers. C&C appreciated! I'll post the Rangers in Dallas Stars colors next.
  12. coco1997
    Thanks! The green and red touching is exactly what I was trying to avoid with my design, so I'll probably keep it as-is. Thanks! I'll work on tweaking the Mariners. And once I get through the last couple teams, I might go back and try the Rockies in Nuggets colors. Up today we have the St. Louis Cardinals! CARDINALS HOME CARDINALS ROAD CARDINALS HOME ALT CARDINALS ROAD ALT I wasn't originally going to touch St. Louis, but @TrueYankee26's suggestion to put the Cardinals in the colors of the St. Louis Blues--specifically their mid-90s look, because you can't have a team called the "Cardinals" without at least some red--earlier in this thread changed my mind. I like the idea of emphasizing yellow a bit more for the Cards and using a non-navy shade of blue. I decided to give the Cards contrasting front numbers and two alternates, a red one which would be worn at home and a blue one that could be worn both at home and away. And with the Cubs sporting navy and orange in my recolored league, there'd be no visual overlap between the two heated rivals. C&C appreciated. The next and final team is a surprise, and then I'll post the Rangers in Stars colors and Yankees in maroon as @Megildur requested.

    I figured with the red on the socks, sleeve patch and cap logo there's just enough red so that they don't become the Green Sox. Any suggestions on where else I could add some? That wasn't deliberate, just an oversight on my part. Good catch. Here's the corrected road uniform with the corrected script: Thanks! And speaking of the Rockies... ROCKIES HOME ROCKIES ROAD ROCKIES HOME ALT ROCKIES ROAD ALT With the Phillies donning Kelly green and black (coupled with the fact that I increased the number of purple teams in the league three-fold) I figured it left the door open for another team to own the burgundy and blue colorway. I put the Rockies in the colors of the Colorado Avalanche, trying to balance burgundy and steel blue while using silver as an accent. Blue is the dominant color at home while burgundy is emphasized on the road. C&C appreciated! I'd also love to get some more feedback on the Mariners. The Cardinals are up next. Only a few teams left!
  14. coco1997
    Thanks, man! I have the Rockies ready to go, but they won't be in Nuggets colors. I might try them in Nuggets colors sometime down the road. I remember those. Much more muted green, so the red touching green actually worked on those jerseys. Up today are the Seattle Mariners! MARINERS HOME MARINERS ROAD MARINERS HOME ALT MARINERS ROAD ALT At this point I may as well have titled this series "Recoloring most of MLB" because the Mariners again are not a blue and red team. I do, however, feel their current look has gotten a bit stale, so I decided to bring back the more streamlined early Griffey era look and combine it with the colors of the Seattle Kraken. If the Marlins refuse to bring back the teal, then maybe the Mariners could own this shade. C&C appreciated! The Rockies are up next.
  15. coco1997
    The Padres look good! I would incorporate orange into the pinstriped road set, since it shows on the other three designs.
  16. coco1997
    Today we have the Boston Red Sox! RED SOX HOME RED SOX ROAD RED SOX HOME ALT RED SOX ROAD ALT This one is a pretty straightforward swap of Boston's navy for Celtic green. The key rule is to not allow red and green to touch (except, I guess, on the cleats) so no outlines on the home and road primaries. Red is emphasized at home and green on the road, although I suppose the green alt could be worn at home, as well. C&C appreciated! The Mariners are next.
  17. coco1997
    Thanks for the feedback! I never thought of those colors together for the Royals, but I guess they could work! And I'm glad I'm not the only fan of the volt era Hawks. Thanks again! The anti-Spurs colors for the Rangers message is coming through loud and clear. I'll be uploading a version of the Rangers in Stars colors at the end of the series. This evening we have the Milwaukee Brewers! BREWERS HOME BREWERS ROAD BREWERS HOME ALT BREWERS ROAD ALT This is probably the most '90s concept I've ever done. Again, the Brewers aren't a blue and red team, but I wanted to inject some more green into MLB, so for the Brewers I looked to the mid-'90s Milwaukee Bucks. I made the home uniform cream ("Cream City") and used wheat as a trim color. The home alt is probably my favorite of the bunch. Let me know what you think! Speaking of green, the Red Sox will be up next! P.S. With all these new purple teams in the league, maybe I'll have to tweak the color scheme of a certain historically purple team...
  18. coco1997
    Look on Page 1 page and you'll see I already tackled the Rangers, Cubs and Dodgers. I won't be changing the Jays since they really can't be anything but blue.
  19. coco1997
    Decided to go back and make some tweaks to the Nats. The primary home now uses the "W" crest rather than the "Nationals" script, I lightened the road gray and flipped the colors on the second home alt and the piping/trim is changed across the board. NATIONALS HOME NATIONALS ROAD NATIONALS HOME ALT NATIONALS HOME ALT 2 NATIONALS ROAD ALT Let me know if you think this is an improvement or not!
  20. coco1997
    You're both right! As promised, today we have the Washington Nationals! NATIONALS HOME NATIONALS ROAD NATIONALS HOME ALT NATIONALS HOME ALT 2 NATIONALS ROAD ALT The '90s Capitals' and '90s Wizards' colors schemes are nearly identical--both using the colors of the U.S. Presidential seal--but I opted for the Capitals' brighter shade of copper. Of course, I'm not the first person on this forum to try the Nationals in Wizards/Capitals colors. I actually think the Nats pull off the traditional RWB really well, but this is an interesting look nonetheless. C&C appreciated! A surprise team is up next.
  21. coco1997
    Thanks! I agree about the green Devil Rays. It's a shame that set is synonymous with some really bad baseball because it had the foundations of a solid look. We move on today to the Los Angeles Angels! ANGELS HOME ANGELS ROAD ANGELS HOME ALT ANGELS ROAD ALT This one is a mashup of a few different ideas. From the outset I wanted to try the Angels in Mighty Ducks colors, but I wasn't sure which Angels look to apply that scheme to. The current one has outstayed its welcome, IMO, so I decided to revive their early '70s look with some tweaks. I also chose yellow over silver as the secondary color for a much needed pop of warm color. Thanks to @Carolingian Steamroller for helping with the drop shadowed scripts and numbers. C&C appreciated as always. The Nationals will be up next!
  22. coco1997
    Thanks! Today's team is the Tampa Bay Rays! RAYS HOME RAYS ROAD RAYS HOME ALT RAYS ROAD ALT This one actually adds another red team to the league, but I have my justification for it. The Rays have one of the blandest sets in all of MLB, and there’s no reason they should look like a dollar store version of the Yankees. I thought it would be fun to try them in the classic colors of another Tampa team, the reigning Super Bowl champion Buccaneers. I brought back the Rays’ early 2000s scripts and logos because, colors aside, they're my favorite the Rays have ever had. Let me know what you think! C&C appreciated! I hope to have the Angels up tomorrow.
  23. coco1997
    Thanks, bud! You guessed it! Today we have the Philadelphia Phillies! PHILLIES HOME PHILLIES ROAD PHILLIES HOME ALT PHILLIES ROAD ALT Since neither the Flyers' nor Sixers' colors would really work for the Phillies (the Sixers being because they're nearly the same as the Phillies' actual colors anyway) I decided to put them in the Eagles' classic Randall Cunningham-era colors of Kelly green, black and silver. The Phillies actually wore green briefly for the 1910 season, so it's not that huge of a stretch. Big thanks to @Carolingian Steamroller for the idea and for helping with this set. C&C appreciated as always! The Rays are on deck.
  24. coco1997
    Thanks! Yeah, I tend to agree. I think the best option would be somewhere between the original brighter purple and this darker one. I'll keep tinkering. I'm back today with the Atlanta Braves! BRAVES HOME BRAVES ROAD BRAVES HOME ALT 1 BRAVES HOME ALT 2 BRAVES ROAD ALT The most popular fix for the Braves seems to be swapping navy for black, which is fine because 1) it's a good look, and 2) it creates some visual unity with the local Falcons and Hawks. However, I wanted to make things more interesting and add a third color, so I decided on volt green from the Hawks' 2015-20 set. I had originally tried these colors on the Braves' current uniforms, but it got too busy looking with all the triple piping so I brought back their iconic '70s look. C&C appreciated! The Phillies will be up next.
  25. coco1997
    Thanks for the feedback! I think you make a good point. Here's the entire Arizona set using the Suns' darker shade of purple. Let me know what you think! DIAMONDBACKS HOME DIAMONDBACKS ROAD DIAMONDBACKS HOME ALT DIAMONDBACKS ROAD ALT
