  1. Siberia Winter Soldiers Inspired by Bucky Barnes' villainous turn and then redemption as the Winter Soldier, this set utilizes the silver, red, & black of his metal arm. The Cinematic alternate takes inspiration from his outfit in the Falcon & Winter Soldier TV show.
  2. Personally, I don’t know if the 49ers ever really need to wear anything other than gold pants, unless they’re playing the Saints or something. The white pants of the throwbacks don’t really do much for me, & they don’t really help with the white-heaviness of the matchup.
  3. I agree they should be the full-time road jersey, especially now that they’re in the Silver State. I’m not sure if they can make the outlines much thicker than they already are, though.
  4. New Haven Goblins After gliding his way into the MCU in No Way Home, the Green Goblin cemented himself as one of the best villains in comic book movie history.
  5. I know this is gonna be unpopular, but in the short glimpse I got of the “snowcapped” Broncos set, it looked better than expected. White socks or pants would make it even better (although very Syracuse-like). I wouldn’t hate it as a once-a-year thing going forward.
  6. Stalingrad Black Widows Inspired by one of the original Avengers' long-overdue solo film branding. The Cinematic alternate takes inspiration from Black Widow's electric current Age of Ultron costume.
  7. I honestly really like the Captains name, and prefer it to "Americans."
  8. Talokan Submariners Inspired by Namor's aesthetic in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, this set uses the font from that films branding and Talokan's oceanic colors.
  9. Brooklyn Captains My personal favorite Marvel character, this set keeps things classic. The alternate is based on Captain America's Winter Soldier navy stealth suit and shield.

    Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to get a real-life version of my Florida Sox jersey, made with the the help of ProLine Mockups! Get it now before it's too late! https://www.prolinemockups.com/apparel/p/mdrake-florida
  11. Vancouver Deadpools This name doesn't really make much sense, but given the character's meta nature, I went with it.
  12. Xandar Nova Corps The intergalactic police force in the Guardians movies, their titular hero Nova has yet to make an appearance in the MCU. The alternate is inspired by the Corps uniforms in the films.
  13. San Francisco Ants One of the few west coast Avengers, who just rounded out his trilogy this year. The giant wordmark on the alternate takes inspiration from his ability to transform into "Giant Man."
  14. Hell's Kitchen Daredevils After making his MCU debut in Spider-Man: No Way Home & then subsequently appearing in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (which the yellow alternate takes inspiration from), the Man Without Fear is set to have his own TV series revived.
  15. That's a good idea! The shade of brown in the image you linked seemed pretty perfect, so I ended up using it: I'd also probably have to adjust the yellow alternate to be more in-line with the main set (the original one was inspired by his costume in the X-Men '97 TV series).
  16. Alberta Wolverines He hasn't appeared in the MCU yet, but Hugh Jackman is set to return as Wolverine in the upcoming Deadpool 3. I based the uniforms on his comic book aesthetic.
  17. I’ve long thought the Broncos’ best throwback look was this one, it’s so much more unique than the Orange Crush: It seems to me like it’d be very adaptable to modern templates, too. Go with the robin’s egg blue helmet, keep the current number font & logo (or update the D horse logo), & you’ve got a winner.
  18. The colors were inspired by the purple Power Stone, which is the MacGuffin of the first Guardians film, and the gold lettering of that same film’s branding. Since so many superheroes use the primary colors of blue, red, & yellow as their color scheme (which has some interesting color theory behind it), and since the Guardians’ suits weren’t really present until the 3rd film, I decided to avoid using them as inspiration for the color scheme.
  19. This I can agree with, I think that’s just a symptom of consistent winning though, as you tend to hear similar sentiments from fans of the Patriots or Lakers, for example, where winning became expected, as opposed to enjoyable. If only fans of other teams could be so lucky. This seems to me to be more of a contradiction to your point than you may realize. Was it still while Ortiz was playing? It seems like a pretty analogous situation to Seaver, since a 300th win is also towards the end of one’s career. I’ve seen a similar thing online lately of some Twins fans trashing Joe Mauer, since he is up for Hall of Fame induction this year. I personally think and hope he will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, and I can’t understand Twins fans who are unappreciative of a literal hometown hero, who always did things the right way on & off the field. This is getting way off-topic of uniform discussion, though, so to get back on track: the Giants look fine on the new template, their design translates pretty well, as will the Pirates, although I suspect the perforated numbers are going to bug me.
  20. Feel free to disagree, but in my experience any generalization about a group of people seems bound to be inaccurate for at least a decent amount of people in that group. There are plenty of good and bad Yankees fans out there, just as there are good and bad Red Sox fans. I don’t like the Yankees myself, but I don’t hold any illusions about all of their fans, or even a majority of them, being terrible. I honestly can’t fathom ditching my team allegiance because of a perception of how other fans behave, even if I perceived them to be the majority. Now, if the team themselves did something to warrant criticism, such as a serious scandal or something, I could see how that could be grounds for deserting fandom of the team, even if only for a temporary time. General attitudes of fans can even be shown to change, as evidenced by Phillies fans’ eventual re-embrace of Trea Turner, even when the results weren’t showing early this past season (although, if you say you haven’t been following baseball since ‘96, I guess you may be unaware of that situation).
  21. Knowhere Guardians Inspired by the most unlikely heroes of the MCU. The alternate, fitting for the holiday season, takes direct inspiration from the only Christmas special in the MCU.
  22. The Brewers are pretty "meh" to me, I like the choice to go with powder blue & the sleeve stripes design is pretty clever, but the rest is kind of a miss for me. It's not a disaster, but it's pretty uninspiring. I actually kind of like the Reds', they were willing to completely go all-in a futuristic design instead of the "respect the past, embrace the future" trope so many teams employ, to good or bad effect. I'd like the Giants' better if they went with the darker "International Orange" that matched the Golden Gate Bridge, & the fog seems like a good concept but it was executed poorly. Using a "G" instead of "SF" or "San Francisco" was also a poor choice. I wouldn't call it a complete fail, but it's definitely near the bottom. The Braves' is definitely a copout to keep the throwback in the rotation, but all things considered, it's probably the result that most people here would want. If they did anything else, people would say it's too much of a departure from the brand (which is a perfectly reasonable opinion). I wish they were a bit more adventurous myself, but I wouldn't call it bad or anything. On the contrary, the Red Sox' uniform looks pretty nice aesthetically, but feels like such a departure from the Red Sox' brand. A Fenway Park inspired uniform would've been a much safer route to go, while still tying into the city, in my opinion. On the other hand, given how intertwined the Sox and the Boston Marathon are, the inspiration for this one is near the top, in regards to sticking to the premise of connecting to the city. If the Pirates' jersey spelled out "Pittsburgh," instead of the silly abbreviation, I'd be perfectly happy with it (again, apart from the batting helmet). A gold jersey with black pants is a welcome readdition to the Pirates' rotation. To summarize, each of the jerseys you mentioned definitely have their flaws, like many jerseys do in our eyes, but I wouldn't call any of them complete fails, like many of the recent NBA City jerseys have been.

  24. I understand the idea of the Yankees pinstripes being their City Connect, so I wouldn't be surprised if they truly end up not having a jersey. It would honestly be pretty strange seeing them wear anything other than the pinstripes in Yankee Stadium. Although I was very against the City Connect program when it was announced, as it felt like a cheap ripoff of the NBA City program (which, in reality, it still is), most of the designs have turned at least pretty decent. I love the White Sox & Angels, and the Diamondbacks, Rockies, and Astros are all pretty great too. Others are really nice but have one fatal flaw (The Mariners' black pants, the Pirates' batting helmets). Only a few are real stinkers (Baltimore, Dodgers, San Diego). Overall though, the program has resulted in some pretty unique and interesting designs, and I'm looking forward seeing to how the remaining teams turn out.
