    MLB x NIKE, TAKE II

    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":

    And here are the Angels: Logos Inspired by @SFGiants58, yellow takes over as the secondary color in place of navy, which remains as a tertiary. The "spikes" in the sides of the letters are removed to distance from the Rangers, while staying true to the team's earliest aesthetic. Uniforms The single yellow stripe on the socks is meant to represent a halo. These yellow accents are also found in the middle stripe on the jersey and pants. The red alternate now has white letters for improved readability, and when worn at home, it can be paired with a white cap, on occasion. The Cooperstown Collection is based off of the PCL Angels, complete with UCLA stripes and a wordmark from @SFGiants58. The Spring Training goes all-in on the yellow. That's it for the Angels, the LA Dodgers will be up next. Thanks!

    Apologies for not getting the Royals up yesterday, but here they are: Logos I decided to go with a primarily royal and powder blue scheme this time around, with gold being relegated to the crown logo. The primary wordmarks now have dropshadows inspired by the old primary logo in order to integrate the scheme more throughout. The Kansas City Monarchs logos come from @SFGiants58's excellent series. Uniforms The striping is inspired by an 80's BP jersey. I feel like this pattern can help "define" the Royals. Also, if any team is going to go with a powder blue road, it should be them. The number font is Clarendon-inspired to match the regality of the script and cap logo. The royal alternate is essentially a modern take on that same BP jersey, while the powder blue away can also be worn as an alternate at home on occasion. The Cooperstown Collection is inspired by the Kansas City Monarchs of the Negro Leagues. The Spring Training set adds a white cap. Thanks to everyone for following, the Los Angeles Angels will be up next.

    EDIT: The Royals were posted twice on accident. The set can still be seen on the next page.

    I agree, even though I might like the increased orange better aesthetically, I don't think the Tigers really need to change at all. It was fun to try though! Thanks. Thanks!

    Ah, I think I understand what you're suggesting now. I actually had something like that already mocked up, as an "outtake" Cooperstown Collection uniform, possibly for use in future seasons. The original is on the left, with your suggestion to include the "H-star" on the right. I didn't arch the font like you suggested, as I think it would clash with the straight stripes of the tequila sunrise. I probably prefer the regular star, as it stands out more, but I appreciate the suggestion! Thank you. For future reference (and this is to all readers), if you wouldn't mind refraining from quoting the images of the uniforms it would be appreciated, just so as to save space and not clutter the thread. If you just name the team you're referring to specifically, I'll be able to know what you're referencing and address it appropriately. No harm done, I just wanted to be able to address it for the future. Thanks. Thanks! I agree, I think the warm colors of the tequila sunrise stand out best against the cool navy. I'll try to have the Royals up later today.

    Thank you. To be honest, I can't quite visualize what you are requesting, would you maybe be able to elaborate more on what you're imagining? Thanks! Yea, that was one of my issues with the orange jersey, as well. I wouldn't want to do a blue gradient, as it wouldn't have any use anywhere else in the set. This is the only other solution I could come up with: Thank you! They were fun to make for sure.

    Here are the Houston Astros: Logos As a small tweak, the silver beveling on the "H" is removed. I added a bit of a tequila sunrise/stripe gradient around the primary logo, and this same striping pattern makes its way into the shooting star of the wordmark, inspired by @SFGiants58's iteration, as you can see here. The colors of the wordmark on the orange jersey flip, now white with a navy outline, and the navy jersey has white letters with no outline to match the cap logo. Uniforms The 3-stripe "gradient" also makes its way to the sleeves, pants and socks. To balance out those warm colors, I decided to keep things more navy-heavy this time around for the primaries. As previously stated, both alternates now have white letters, which helps the team distinguish from the Tigers, especially on the orange alt. An orange cap, sock, and undersleeves option is added to be worn on occasion at home, most likely for Fridays and/or afternoon games. The Cooperstown Collection is based off of the Tequila Sunrise design, and the Spring Training jersey features the H-star logo and a cap with the sunrise pattern. The Kansas City Royals will be up next. Thanks for checking this out!

    Thank you both! The Astros will be up shortly.

    Here are the Tigers: Logos The main difference here is that orange is more infused into the regular look. The "Tigers" wordmark also makes an appearance on a jersey for the first time. Uniforms The home uniform now has an orange outline around the logo and orange piping, while I removed the white outline from the away jersey. The Cooperstown Collection is based off of the one-year 1960 Tigers home uniform, and the Spring Training utilizes more orange based off of an 80's BP jersey. That's the Tigers! The Astros will be up next.

    Thank you for the thorough feedback! I truly appreciate it! I understand your critiques about the Rockies numbers. It’s interesting, I’d agree with your opinion that the Rockies logo and wordmark could use some tweaking, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a concept that I feel that has for sure improved on it, you know? It’s a weird situation. I’ll maybe try and see what I can do though. I’ll try to get the Tigers up tomorrow.

    Apologies for the long hiatus, as I have been busy with school and working on other projects, but here are the Colorado Rockies! Logos A brighter, richer purple is embraced as the team's true color, and it now fills in the letters on the home uniform. Also, a big thanks to @SFGiants58 for creating a custom "Colorado" away wordmark for me that better matches the home wordmark. Uniforms A new custom number font is implemented to match the cap logo. The two-stripe design on the sleeves, pants, and socks of the away is reminiscent of Colorado's original road design, while also acting as a subtle tribute to the Colorado flag. Both alternates feature the interlocking "CR" logo with headspoon piping, as well as an added snow white pants option for when the purple jersey is worn at home. The Cooperstown Collection uniform is based on the old Denver Bears, and doubles as a Colorado flag tribute uniform. The Spring Training uniform showcases the mountain logo. And that's the Rockies, the Detroit Tigers will be up next!

    Here is Cleveland: Logos The most notable change to the logos is the addition of an outline around the block C. The arched 1920 away wordmark returns, also with an outline. Uniforms The striping on the sleeves is inspired by Francisco Lindor's socks, which is a pattern that gives the team some connection with the Browns. The red-heavy accents also return on the home uniform. I created a custom number font to match the block C. I flipped the colors of the script on the red alternate, and decided to make the block C prominent on the navy uniform. The Cooperstown Collection is a mix of the 2010's cream alternate and Cleveland's 1910's uniforms. The Spring Training set adds a red front-paneled cap. And that's Cleveland! The Colorado Rockies will be up next.

    Thanks! It probably looks a little low because of the arch, but if I move it any higher it will start to collide with that 2nd button. Agreed, black should have been dropped by the time of the 2007 redesign. I’ll try to have Cleveland up tomorrow.

    Now we have the Cincinnati Reds: Logos The primary logo loses its shadowing, courtesy of @SFGiants58. I decided to go with strictly red & white this time around, to keep things simple and stick with the classic Reds. The away font is based on old block fonts of theirs in the past, but condensed to better match the primary logo and the number font, with some help again from @SFGiants58. Mr. Redleg also makes an appearance on the Spring Training cap & jersey. Uniforms The primary set is a pretty standard fauxback to the Big Red Machine uniforms. The number font is derived from @SFGiants58's UNC-inspired number font. The alternate has "Reds" across the chest like the team's new jersey, and a white home cap is added as an option if they wanted to wear it on occasion. The Cooperstown Collection is a fauxback to the 1936 design that the team threw back to last year. As previously stated, the Spring Training jersey proudly showcases Mr. Redleg. That's what I've got for today, Cleveland will be up next. Thanks for following!

    I didn't want to infringe too much on @SFGiants58's black and red set (check it out if you haven't already), but red would indeed look good with the Cooperstown uniforms in particular. I also have a couple of "outtake" Cooperstown Collection uniforms that use the black & red scheme, one based on the 1950's set where it came from and one based on an unused design for the 80's set.

    Here we are with the White Sox: Logos The most notable changes are the reversal of the colors on the away wordmark, a return to the late 80's "White Sox" script without a tail on the black alternate, and the '83 "SOX" designs accommodating to the classic black & silver scheme. Uniforms I decided to drop pinstripes from the home uniform to distance them a bit more from the Yankees. The white away wordmark is unique among the league, and I also brought back the 1950's number font for the Sox. The sock pattern is inspired by @SFGiants58. The black alternate as mentioned now has the "White Sox" script, and I decided to keep the pinstripes around for Sunday afternoon games. The Cooperstown Collection takes the '83 throwback but gives it the iconic black & silver, and the Spring Training jersey is a black version of it. The Cincinnati Reds will be up next!

    MLB x NIKE, TAKE II

    Here's a look: I still prefer the all-red socks personally, but this is far from a bad look. Thanks, it's hard to replace the classic pinstripes though! I'll post the White Sox later today.

    MLB x NIKE, TAKE II

    Now we have the Cubs! Logos The most notable changes are to the road wordmark, as well as the addition of a throwback chest insignia. The Spring Training cap uses the 80's angry cubbie logo. Uniforms The classic home uniform remains the same, while the away uniform reverts back to the 1964 design, which I agree with many others is the best Cubs road uni. The alternate copies the striping of the away, and I decided to go with just the "C" from the cap logo for the chest this time around. A snow white pants option is also added for when the jersey is worn at home. The Cooperstown Collection is a fauxback to the Cubs' 1940's designs. That's it for today! The cross-town White Sox will be up next.
