Thank you! Yes, the red with the black definitely hearkens back to the late '50s Sox (their best look, in my opinion). 

 

 

 

Thanks! @johne9109 I can definitely play around with Coyotes colors for the D-Backs. I'm not against using Sedona red, but only in addition to a "classic" color like purple or turquoise. 

 

Up today we finally have the Red Sox!

 

I think Nike really blew it by launching the City Connect program with Boston's set. The problem is that absolutely nothing about this uniform screams "Red Sox," and I think that really dashed people's expectations right off the bat. 

 

For my tweak, I used a non-arched version of Boston's Tuscan script along with stencil style numbers akin to the actual jersey's script. I also went with a yellow cap logo because I'm not a fan of the blue on blue look. Not as major of a change as Arizona, but I think it's an improvement. 

 

C&C appreciated! New tweaks will be posted as additional teams are unveiled. 

I still think this is way TOO radical of a change for the Red Sox. I do agree that in general it was misstep starting with this uniform with how much of  a departure it was for the Sox, but I think that was Nike's way of saying expect the unexpected. They could've done something green and said it was Green Monster or done something modeled off of the red brick architecture of New England or the Giant Citgo sign above Fenway (all great ideas that would've been more traditional or not as radical a change for the Red Sox). I'd even really dig something that said Beantown on it too. So it's not you it's this design that Nike and Boston had in the first place

I don't think going back to the Sox regular script is the answer for this. If they're really trying to make it off of the Boston Marathon it should use some of the writing they employ at the marathon like these

I also wonder if this would look less imposing as a blue dominant jersey with yellow accents; maybe even with white lettering like the picture above? The yellow B on the hat does look better. I just honestly think there are much better avenues that Nike and Boston could've taken. Again it's not you it's them

Fair enough. The silver is just fine, but I thought the red would be a bit more distinctive. Any feedback on the first two teams?

 

Skipping the Red Sox for now to post my D-Backs tweak:

 

 

I wanted to get my Arizona concept up while the D-Backs City Connect unis were still fresh in the news. I'm pretty disappointed the team kept their very generic black and Sedona red color scheme when three of the other City Connect teams so far have been treated to new color schemes by Nike, so this one undergoes some pretty significant changes. First, I replaced Sedona red with turquoise and added a turquoise outline to the script and back numbers. Second, I used pinstripes, as they add a bit more character to the design and are a nod to the D-Backs' classic original look. Third, even without having seen the full uniform on the field, I already know I'm not going to like the sand colored top + white pants combo, so I made the pants sand as well to complete the look. Once I get a clearer look at the triangle sleeve patch, I can add that to the socks and sleeve. 

 

C&C appreciated! The Red Sox are next (for real, this time). 

The turquoise ain't bad but I feel the one they came out with has more inter city team synergy (told you I liked it) with the Coyotes. Maybe try still using the Sedona red with some of the dark green or purple the Coyots used in the past?

Thanks! 

 

Today we have the Crosstown rival White Sox:

 

 

As a White Sox fan, I really like the South Sider's City Connect unis. However, I wanted to try the design with red in place of silver, both as a nod to the local Bulls and Blackhawks and also because it's a color scheme commonly suggested for the team. I'm also not a big fan of the "Chi" cap logo, so I replaced it with a tasteful Old English "C." Lastly, WHITE SOCKS. 

 

The Red Sox are next!  

I'm a sucker for inter city team synergy so I love this. Big Bulls vibes form this and it also ties into the Blackhawks. Totally down for this

Does anyone know where I can get a good old school hockey sweater PSD template?

That horrible St. louis Blues color scheme really works for the Cardinals

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. 

I really like the Sox using green. It less Celtic green and more Green Monster. They should use that road alt in real life

Like the bear on the helmet and using the yellow B on the white jersey is nice. A wonderful improvement of their 1940-48 jersey. Can't wait to see others
