Agreed on both counts. The most black I'd be willing to see on the 49ers jersey would be an outline & shadow to the numbers (basically their throwbacks, but with the regular gold pants). Even then, I don't think I'd prefer that to no black at all, even on the helmet logo. It is unfortunate they didn't take this opportunity to update the logo as well. I like the gold swoosh idea too, like you said, subtle and clever. I wouldn't like adding any gold to the jersey beyond that, though, as it inevitably tends to muddy up the look, since red & gold are so close in value.

I was gonna say the exact same thing. I liked that the previous wordmark matched the helmet logo.

I'm back again with a try at a more true gradient for the tequila sunrise throwback. I'm not sure if it really adds much to the look beyond consistency with the rest of the set, but I'd be curious to hear what you think: The original is on the right for comparison.

Oh for sure, I was just noting the similarities in both having a uniform change the year after a national championship, no matter how big or small. Of course I’m not a Georgia fan, and have no personal investment in their tradition, but to me the Bulldog Bold was the quintessential Georgia uniform, and I’ll miss it.

Count me in the camp of not at all liking the change away from Bulldog Bold to a more basic block. It was a custom font that was subtle and reserved, but still felt unique and fitting for Georgia. It was one of my favorite custom fonts out there, for sure. It's especially odd coming off of a National Championship win in the Bulldog Bold uniforms, it reminds me a bit of Florida State's redesign the year after their 2013 championship.

Although I don’t like the City program so far for MLB, I do appreciate that Nike has been willing to try some new things with the uniforms (dark monochrome for half the teams, reverse pinstripes for the Marlins and White Sox, gradients for the Astros, & seemingly larger stripes for the Royals), things that deviate from the traditional baseball aesthetic. I just wish that innovation was employed more on regular sets as opposed to jerseys that are purposefully distinct from the main identity.

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it. This inspired me to add a "throwback" in the style of this set, to bring it in line with my MLB x NIKE series, as well as a Spring Training uniform with the white front panel cap. I might try to make the tequila sunrise more of an actual "gradient" if that makes sense, let me know if you'd like to see it.

That’s so annoying that it’s the Padres too, who finally just became one of the best uniforms in baseball.

Thank you! That idea came about pretty organically: The straight wordmark left a lot of empty space in the front-number area, and I wanted to do something inspired by the Astros' past, while also fitting in with the rest of the brand. Good call with the white front number, I do think it's an improvement: I added a navy pants option just to see what it would look like. Both of these options you suggested seemed to work best with the orange jersey: I like them both, especially the white front panel. Thank you very much! I'd love to see them try something like this out, for sure.

Thank you! I've always been partial to the solid white letters paired with the tequila sunrise on a navy background, as that's always felt the most "space" to me. I think the white outline muddies up the text a bit, so I added a version with just the gradient: The font is called "Nasalization."

Thank you all! I was afraid going in that this might be too on-the-nose, but now that I see it, I think I'd much prefer it to the somewhat bland set they currently have. Yeah, the straight text was a little off-putting for me at first, too. Although the arch does look better than I expected, I think you predicted it @Megildur that it seems to take away from the "futuristic" aspect:

Hello there, It's been a while since I've posted a concept on here, but I tried creating a complete set for the Astros inspired by their newly-released City Connect uniform. I’m not sure how I feel about the alternates yet, particularly the orange one. I do like how this set feels more "space-y" & futuristic than their current one does. I’d be curious to hear what you all think.

Although I'm still not a fan of the City program for MLB, this is probably my 2nd favorite uniform behind the White Sox. However, everything I like about this uniform could easily be transferred to a regular Astros set. The hat with the gradient is amazing. I could probably do without the planet orbit, though it is kind of growing on me. Similarly, I do enjoy the gradient piping on the jersey. My only tweak would be to make the wordmark white, to match the cap. I would probably drop the grid pattern on the sleeves, too. The number on the pants is a nice touch. I didn't like the gradient socks at first, but the Nike-speak idea that they're inspired by rocket thrusters is juuust clever enough for me to accept it. As @insert name said, this is the first Astros uniform in a while, or possibly ever, that really feels like space, so I appreciate it for that. It'd be a solid template for a complete uniform redesign for the 'Stros.

Therein lies the main problem with the Twins’ regular home uniforms.

I believe that New Orleans was on that list, as well.

If they’re gonna wear a black jersey, I’d prefer they wear the black pants with it, to be honest. If you’re gonna go BFBS, might as well go all the way, in my book. I think the green pants would be the best option to pair with the black jersey, though.

Midnight & silver without any black would be the ideal, for me.

I agree that I’d prefer them to pick one, midnight green or kelly. If I had to choose though, I’d prefer kelly green over black as a secondary color to the midnight green, since kelly would help brighten the midnight up a bit, while black makes it feel more dreary. Plus, that design uses kelly pretty minimally, to the point where you almost don’t even notice it, save for the socks.

They almost did exactly that, if this designer’s website is to be believed: https://scottfaries.net/Philadelphia-Eagles-Rebrand Personally I think it’s legit, the website has info on the Jags’ and Dolphins’ 2013 redesigns as well. If push came to shove I’d probably prefer this over their current uniforms, although the helmet is a major downgrade.

I think the current Lions uniforms would be pretty much perfect if they dropped the anthracite gray: that would mean a white outline on the home numbers, a lighter silver outline on the aways, and going with the lighter silver for the alternate (which I’d like to see with the blue pants). I’m curious what they’d change if they don’t go strict throwback. As for the Eagles, this is probably a hot take but I’d prefer them to just stick with the midnight green. The Jets can have kelly green, in my opinion. I’d still do a redesign for the Eagles to drop the black, but I honestly think the midnight green is a cool & unique color. Paired with just silver, I think it could look really nice.

I am not much of a fan of this, to be honest. From a distance, the jersey is going to mostly look dark gray, since the pink is such a light shade and is so minimally used. I don’t mind the beveling, that feels very DC, but the “WSH” abbreviation is rough. It’s a peculiar decision to use off-white instead of a true white, as well. I don’t know about anyone else, but when I think of the monuments in DC (which I assume the off-white & bevel is alluding to), I think of pure white & gray, like the Wizards original City uniform with the marble. I don’t know… I think I’m just not a fan of the City program being transferred over to MLB. It kinda worked for the NBA, there were a few cool designs over the years, but even that seems to be getting worse & worse. I just don’t think it works for a sport as tradition-steeped as baseball.

It’s a concept. (“Dubya Design” in the corner gives it away.)

I think the implication of that tweet was that they’d be revealing their World Series champion gold-trimmed jersey, not necessarily a City Connect (although who knows, that might happen eventually too).

I’m surprised the Wizards didn’t try this out sooner, to be honest, though leaks suggest they are going this route next year. I like this shade of pink better to depict the cherry blossoms than the Wizards seemingly more “hot pink” shade, though.

I don’t think he was suggesting that uniform would come back next season, just that it was a possibility to bring back at some point in the future.
