Here are the Seattle Mariners: Logos I went back to the original wordmark font, while emphasizing the iconic teal. The "M" returns as the cap and primary logo, but without the middle "trident spike" in order to be a bit more subtle. Thanks to @SFGiants58 for creating a home wordmark that matches the away for me. Uniforms I decided to utilize the 1980 away uniform striping, while emphasizing teal in the overall color balance. Teal and navy variations on the primary uniforms. A teal alternate cap to pair with the home jerseys. For the Cooperstown Collection I went with a creme uniform inspired by the original Pilots uniform. The Spring Training jersey prominently showcases the new "M" logo. That's the Mariners, the St. Louis Cardinals will be up next.

Thanks. That was a design choice that stems all the way from my very first series. Yea, the blue outline was 100% inspired by the late-40's look. The reason I went red-heavy was to distinguish in color balance from the Rangers, as in this series I tried to diversify the red & blue teams without having to change color schemes. Here's a look at your suggestion, though: I can't say I don't like how it looks!

Here are the San Francisco Giants: Logos I went back to the more upright 1994 wordmarks, and dropped gold from being an accent color. Beyond that, and a new primary logo, pretty much everything else remains the same. Uniforms I gave the uniforms a new patch based on the 2010 World Series Champion logo. I also added a fourth stripe on the socks to be inspired by the Golden Gate Bridge. The orange alternate features the orange brim, and the black alternate removes the gold dropshadow. The Cooperstown Collection keeps the "SF" away alternate with the headspoon piping, as a fauxback to the late 80's road uniform. The Spring Training set adds an orange cap for home games, and the team would use the gray crown cap for away games. That's the Giants, the Seattle Mariners will be up next.

I'd love to see them adopt a design inspired by these BP uniforms! The Giants will be up momentarily.

Yea, I’ve done concepts as recently as this year using the cap D, and have expressed liking the switch in the past, but now seeing them side-by-side something seems inescapably “right” about the old logo. I’d love to see it return.

Here are the San Diego Padres: Logos Now that the Brown is Back and better than ever, there was no way I was trying anything else. No real changes to the logos beyond the addition of Cooperstown Collection designs. Uniforms Now that we've seen them in person, there's honestly no doubt in my mind that this new Padres set is a top 5 uniform in the league, at least. So no main changes to the main set, though the sand uniform they've designated as the "Away Alternate" becomes the primary road. The brown alternate follows the striping template from the previous set, one good thing to hold over from the navy years. It's complete with the new "SD" on the chest, as well as plain pairs of white & sand pants to go with it. The Cooperstown Collection throws back to the 1978 design. The Spring Training uniform embraces the gold and puts the Swinging Friar logo on the cap. That's the Padres, the San Francisco Giants will be up next.

In honor of Opening Day (Take II), here are the Pittsburgh Pirates: Logos No notable changes to the Pirates classic logo set, other than the primary "P" becoming black with a yellow outline. Uniforms The Pirates primaries are among the top in all of baseball, so no significant changes here. I loved the road uniform with the "Pittsburgh" block font to match the home, but now feels like about the right time to go back to the script. As a small touch, the pirate's bandana is recolored yellow on the patch. A yellow alternate is added into the rotation, and the black alternate replaces the yellow outline with a solid yellow script. The double-outline cap is also dropped. A yellow cap is added as an occasional home option, and I'd love to see a gray crown cap at times on the road. The Cooperstown brings back the mustard/old gold for Sunday afternoons, and the Spring Training utilizes the pirate logo on the cap. That's the Pirates, the San Diego Padres will be up next.

I suppose one solution could be to have separate home and road caps, like so: I do like the way this looks quite a bit.

I tried that originally, but didn't like it as much as without the outline. Here is a look, however: I can definitely understand that view, I was just hoping to try something different in order to diversify the red & blue teams in MLB, especially since I had the Reds going back to strictly red & white. Also, I appreciate the feedback, but if you could refrain from quoting the images that would be appreciated, just to declutter the thread. Thank you again!

Here are the Phillies: Logos The main difference to the logo set is blue's increased use in the color scheme to a primary color nearly on par with red. Uniforms I added a blue brim to the primary cap to distinguish themselves in a league with the Reds and the Cardinals. The away uniform also has blue outlines instead of white, similar to the 1940's uniforms. The red alternate is now in the rotation full-time, with white letters for increased visibility, and the cream alternate stays for Sunday afternoon games, with increased blue accents. The Cooperstown Collection of course goes back to the beautiful maroon and powder color scheme, while the Spring Training focuses more on blue, like the team used to do on occasion. That's the Phillies, the Pittsburgh Pirates will be up next.

Thanks! I felt like it fit pretty well within the entire branding. The Phillies will be up shortly.

Here are the Oakland Athletics: Logos The most noticeable difference is the return to kelly green, specifically the shade on the new alternate. Uniforms I added a simplified striping pattern inspired by the old Northwestern stripes. The numbers are based on the font from the team's primary logo. The gold alternate stays, and the green alternate is modified so that yellow & white don't touch. The Cooperstown Collection retains the brighter kelly, with gold letters inspired by the Kansas City Athletics. The Spring Training jersey is a different green top, with a white cap featuring the elephant logo. That's the A's, the Philadelphia Phillies will be up next.

Here are the New York Yankees: Logos The primary logo is re-colored to be more navy-centric. I edited the away wordmark so the line weights would be more even. The digitalization of the cap logo comes from @SFGiants58. Uniforms Other than the tweaked road wordmark, no need to mess with the most iconic uniform in sports. The Cooperstown Collection is based on the 1912 uniform, which the team threw back to in 2012. The Spring Training jersey brings back the BP design from the late 90's/early 2000's which I love. That's it for the Yankees, the Oakland Athletics will be up next. I hope you all are doing well!

Thank you! The Yankees will be up shortly.

Here are the New York Mets: Logos Most everything stays the same, the most notable change being the new away script, provided to me by @SFGiants58, much thanks for allowing me to use it. The Cooperstown Collection logo was made by splitting the "N" and the "Y" from the cap logo. Uniforms The home jersey is perfect and remains the same, beyond a change to a number font that better matches the script and cap logo. The away sleeve striping and pants are meant to be reminiscent of the 80's racing stripes. The royal alternate now has striping that mimics the away, and I added a snow white alternate back in to be worn on Sunday afternoons. The Cooperstown Collection is based on a uniform the Mets threw back to in 2009, and the Spring Training uniform emphasizes orange as well as the Mr. Met logo. That's the Mets, the cross-town Yankees will be up next.

Thank you! I personally like the serif, something about it just seems "Twins" to me. I understand your point of view, though. The real-life TC has started to grow on me again, as I like how the serifs on the T would match my number font nicely. I know what you mean. Normally I'm not big on straight-up throwbacks (notice how the jerseys have the current logo for the patch), but here is a look at the block font on the powder blue & off-white jerseys: I also gave them the real-life TC logo.

Here are the Minnesota Twins: Logos I gave up on trying to incorporate Kasota Gold into the Twins' scheme, as I've finally acknowledged that it doesn't work. The only place it appears is the outline of the primary logo. I also adjusted the "TC" to be a combination of @SFGiants58's iteration and the real-life version. Uniforms The away uniform now matches the dual-striping inspired by the "TC" logo. This inspiration is also transferred to the sock pattern. The number font is customized as well to match the home wordmark. The navy alternate now has a white wordmark with a red outline, inspired by this BP jersey, along with a white front-panel cap, inspired by the 70's batting helmets. The off-white 60's throwback returns for Sunday afternoon games. The Cooperstown Collection keeps the new powder blue uniform in rotation. I reserved the red jersey and cap for Spring Training. That's the Twins for today, the New York Mets will be up next.

Here are the Brewers: Logos I kept everything pretty much the same from the team's recent redesign, which I absolutely love. Uniforms The home uniform matches the sleeve striping style of the away now. The socks also have a Packers-style striping pattern that is once again inspired by @SFGiants58. Other than that, nothing changes. The pinstripe alternate goes back to royal blue to embrace its roots a little bit more. The navy alternate now has sleeve stripes that mimic a portion of the socks, as well as a yellow brim on the cap to add some flair. The Cooperstown Collection gives the Brew Crew a powder blue away option (inspired by the 80's away designs), complete with a yellow front-panel cap, and the Spring Training goes a bit further with the yellow, along with a Barrel Man cap. And that's the Brewers, the Minnesota Twins will be up next.

Thank you all very much, I appreciate it! Thanks! To clarify, the "caliente red" shade is what the Marlins currently use in real life, which is more of an orange-ish red. I decided to replace that color with a more obvious pink, to give the Marlins a unique color among MLB. The Brewers will be up in a bit.

Here are the Miami Marlins: Logos I kept the main base of the newest logo-set, but recolored it to be more "Marlin blue" heavy in the overall color scheme. A warm pink shade also replaces "caliente red." Uniforms The wormarks are now blue-heavy, with a black outline and a pink dropshadow, so the blue & pink don't clash. I tried to separate the blue & pink everywhere I could throughout the set, with the black helping them both "pop." A Marlin blue alt enters the rotation full-time (as it should be), and the black alternate has Marlin blue letters for improved readability. Here are some alternate cap options, such as a white front-panel option to add to the 80's "Miami Vice" vibe, and a Marlin blue crown cap to mimic the original road uniform. The Cooperstown Collection is based on the original home uniform with the classic teal, and the Spring Training embraces the pink a little bit more. That's the Marlins, the Milwaukee Brewers will be up next.

For the most part, the teams that I always come back to are the ones that I feel I've yet to perfect in my eyes. The Mariners, Twins, and Rays jump out to me as teams that have never really had an iconic, definitive look, so they are ones I find myself trying to revisit most often. That kind of goes along with having trouble thinking of ideas for them, especially when a team doesn't have great logos or colors to work with, that makes it more difficult. I also go through ruts where I simply don't feel like making any concepts (such as right now), as I imagine most designers do. The Marlins will be up shortly.

It's time for the Dodgers: Logos The primary logo is a tweak of their alternate logo, now with the jersey wordmark. Uniforms The singular road uniform now has the "Los Angeles" script but removes the unnecessary piping to match the clean home uniform. The Cooperstown Collection throws back to the Brooklyn Dodgers' 1944 satin blue uniform. The Spring Training utilizes the cursive "D" logo from the home script. I wouldn't mind seeing the jersey, inspired by an 80's BP design (as has been a theme in this series), used occasionally as an alternate in the regular season, but I'll leave that up to each of you to decide for yourselves. That's it for today, the Miami Marlins will be up next.

I'd probably want to avoid that, just because it would be identical to the Dodgers' away script. Speaking of the Dodgers, I'll have them up momentarily.

What type of cursive font are you referring to?

Thank you both! I agree that the yellow gives it that "California vibe," joining the Lakers, Chargers, and Rams as teams who have used the color to good effect. Thank you! Is this what you're referring to? (On the right, with the original on the left for comparison): Thank you! I think "Los Angeles" would probably be too long for a non-script wordmark on a jersey, but here is a version with "Anaheim":
