Hard to imagine a pro baseball team in Kansas, save for the western suburbs of KC. That reminds me, how is Wichita's minor league doing these days? Still miss the Baby Cakes (Zephyrs too)

While the Kansas side of the river is the most realistic (and Kansas City as-is is one of the smallest viable markets), I like having Packers-style oddballs.

Looks like what you'd expect if the (football) Browns were a baseball team. Nice.

Looks very much like a late 19th Century French soldier.

More seriously, looks great.

Based on their new album cover

Looks very Seahawks-y.

Both the Oakland and Texas ones look great. I especially love the weird pants for the Rangers.

Is clearly a gimmick uniform (which is kind of the point), but I can see it being good for special occasions. Love the ornate front art.

Love fiesta colors on any uniform, so the San Antonio is the best, but they're all solid!

Kingdome looks great, and I can see the pattern as part of a weird 80s main Mariners uniform.

Love the stylized "NYC" on the A's logo there. Looks distinct from both the Yankees and Mets while being clearly based on the KC A's underrated design.

I think the yellow pants and T-bars keep it from looking like a conventional Pirates uniform. 

 

Thank you! Good suggestion about the Longines clock, but it's something I'm planning on using for a future team, so stay tuned. 

 

Up next are the Mets & Shea Stadium!
 

At the very least, the Pirates connect looks more like a conventional uniform than some of the other connects.

Anyway, the Mets one looks great. It has the same pseudo-futuristic look as the 1980s White Sox, and the neon is a great gimmick.

Not bad, but the dominance of Pittsburgh yellow and black makes it look less "special" and more like a conventional Pirates uniform.

The purple is blue-ish enough to me that this looks like a Brewers uniform. That being said, the M and scheme would work as a primary uniform (matching the Vikings the way the Pittsburgh teams are all yellow and black?)

The Tigers looks a little plain, but that's kind of the point, I guess. It's another connect jersey that could easily work as a normal one.

As for more feedback on the Astros, the pseudo-quilted look reminds me of the Weyland Yutani "stormtroopers" from the end of Alien 3.

The Astros are no strangers to bizarre uniforms, so this fits perfectly.

Since Padres uniforms have been... offbeat, I can see this being a primary uniform with the bricks replaced by plain brown and the PETCO on the 80s White Sox-esque stripe replaced by PADRES or SAN DIEGO. Love the Plam P and wish the real Padres had adopted it.

Great work on all of them.

Has there been a city that the A's haven't considered moving to?

Like the Hoosiers and see some Astros in them: Was that deliberate?

Love the Royals and the (gulp) Phillies designs both.

I'd really love to make these teams work but they've all either had exclusively corporate-named or flat-out uninteresting ballparks. If anyone has ideas to make them work I'm totally open to suggestions. 

Diamondbacks: The Chase (a pun on the current name). It'd have light blue (blue not being one of the many colors they've used) to symbolize the stadium's most obvious landmark: The pool.  If you have to have a second color, then "marble" (to symbolize the area around the pool, something like hex #e3e0cd ) would fit.

Love the Whales and especially Atlanta Browns.

Unlike some of the others, it's too gaudy to be a regular uniform. But it works great as a special occasion one.

The LA Browns look realistic and good.

Looks delightfully offbeat in ways that most Angels uniforms aren't.

The most exciting thing to come out of Tropicana Field! Great work.

The Nationals and Sox both look great!

Another great entry.

Apple red and green for their NL counterpart in Shea/Citi?
