While I'm pretty happy with how the Cubs City Connect uniforms turned out given how poorly the initial jersey leak was received, I still think it would have been interesting had the team gone with a solid green design to mimic the famous ivy on Wrigley's outfield walls. Let me know what you think!

I've had the rebrand bug lately so I decided to take a stab at one of the lamest brands in the majors right now. Immediately dropped the Los Angeles name and went back to Anaheim for the city name. It's just... better. The A halo is quite strong already so I kept that piece of the design. The one major-ish change I made to the lettering was opting for a cleaner font that maintained the vibe of the current set but felt a little less Texas-y. The wings from the short-lived Disney-era logo return in a much cleaner way. I always liked the idea of the wings, just never felt it was executed right with that iteration of the brand (also the bats were so corny). The diamond outline behind it is a callback to this logo, which I quite liked and wish they still used a bit more. Among the secondary marks is the A with the California outline behind it, a reference to this era of the Angels. The gold halo completes the retro look. As for the wordmarks, nothing too drastic. A change in the lettering, as previously mentioned, with an Anaheim option finally back in the rotation. Here's how the marks look on the Angels' uniform set, with some small tweaks here and there. I brought back the two-colour cap design to separate themselves from the other red-hat-wearing teams in the major leagues. The fourth option is just a fun throwback I tossed together, inspired by their City uniform from this past season. Let me know what you think! I haven't done a rebrand in a minute, felt good to get the blood flowing again.

Inspired by Ebbets Field Flannels' new line of vintage baseball sweaters, I wanted to close out 2022 with a fun little series that brings those designs into the modern day. I added a Nike swoosh to the front of the sweaters to reinforce that these are not just throwbacks, but modern updates. I should also mention that I'll also only be doing teams who were actually around in the 1920s-30 (when this style of sweaters was still being worn). Big thanks to @Victormrey for helping me out with the long-sleeved sweater template. Starting off with a combination AL & NL West, all of whose teams have since relocated to other cites: (OAKLAND) A's: A green and gold design with double breasted elephants inspired by these Philadelphia A's sweaters. (LOS ANGELES) DODGERS: This design is based on this Brooklyn Robins' sweater, with the Dodgers' "LA" replacing Brooklyn's block "B." (SAN FRANCISCOS) GIANTS: San Francisco's look is actually a combination of two designs: this earlier one which features contrasting pockets, and this later one which is primarily blue with red trim (or in this case, black with orange). C&C appreciated!

With the enormous popularity of the Rays' and Marlins' (and Diamondbacks', until they were sadly retired prior to this season) '90s throwbacks, I was inspired to experiment with tweaking those early uniforms so that they could work in 2023 not just as alternates, but as full-time looks. My theory is that enough time has passed since the early-late '90s that people have nostalgia for those unis that they might not have had, say, ten or twelve years ago. Let Jon Hamm explain it to you better than I can: With that said, first up are the Rays! RAYS HOME: RAYS ROAD: RAYS HOME/ROAD ALT: Notes: - I'd argue those original Devil Rays uniforms are the best the team ever looked, largely because most of what they've worn in the decades since has been somewhat, shall we say, bland. However, that's not to say those original Devil Rays uniforms were perfect, which I'll get into below. - Since I didn't want to just revert to the team's original identity, I decided to retain the "Rays" moniker, keeping in mind that they've now been called the "Rays" longer than they were ever the Devil Rays. The team's 1998-2000 batting practice jerseys give us an idea of what the team would've looked like had they been called the "Rays" all along. - The Rays' current throwbacks are really more like "fauxbacks." Since the cap was only seldomly worn between 1998-2000, I've restored the original "TB" cap logo and replaced black throughout the uniforms not with navy but with dark purple from the team's original primary logo. - I went all-in on the gradient, applying it to the back numbers, socks, sleeves (inspired by this prototype from 1997) and pants. Newly added solid-colored front numbers help offset the "gimmickiness" of the wordmark's gradient. - For the road, I've never liked any of the "Tampa Bay" wordmarks the Rays have used, and rather than just slap the "Rays" wordmark on every jersey in the rotation (which is exactly what the team did up until about a year or so ago) I used the cap "TB," similar to these '80s-early '90s Giants road jerseys. I also went with more traditional, non-gradient piping. - The alt is probably my favorite of the set, as the wordmark really pops against the dark purple of the jersey. C&C appreciated! The Marlins or Diamondbacks will be up next.- 29 replies

While Nike's City Connect program aims to pay tribute to each team's respective city, I wanted to come up with designs that would specifically honor MLB ballparks, some of which have been around for the better part of a century or longer. Much like the City Connect designs, you'll see color schemes, scripts and patterns you wouldn't normally see on a team's every day unis. Full disclosure, I'm not particularly inclined to tackle teams whose parks are named after corporations, so apologies in advance if your team gets passed over. I might end up changing my mind about that, though. We'll see. We'll start today with the Red Sox and Fenway Park: Some notes: - Primary color is Green Monster Green. - The font used for the script and back numbers is called Senator Demi and is based on this wall art welcoming fans to the ballpark. - McAuliffe style front numbers enclosed in a white circle are inspired by the retired numbers displayed on Fenway's right field facade. C&C appreciated! I already have a few of the other more well-known parks ready to go, but I'll probably need help with most of the others, so suggestions are appreciated.

Hi all, I've been working on this project the past few months. A while back I had the idea to rebrand as many MLB team as possible using each team's respective mascot as inspiration. 01. Pittsburgh Parrots 02. Arizona Bobcats 03. Seattle Moose 04. Oakland Elephants 05. Washington Eagles 07. San Francisco Seals 08. Houston Orbits 09. Twin City Bears 10. Philly Phanatics 11. Kansas City Lions 12. Boston Green Monsters 13. Colorado Trikes 14. Texas Mustangs 15. Chicago Southpaws 16. Los Angeles Koalas 17. Cleveland Sliders 18. Los Angeles Robins 19. Anaheim Rally Monkeys For those who do me the honor of following along, keep in mind that not all 30 clubs will be represented, as a few teams' mascots are inspired by their team itself (Clark the Cub, Bernie Brewer, Mr. Met, etc.) while some teams are without mascot altogether (Yankees, Dodgers, Angels). I'm really proud of this series and had a lot of fun working on it. We'll start today with the Pittsburgh Parrots: PARROTS HOME: PARROTS ROAD: PARROTS HOME ALT: PARROTS HOME/ROAD ALT: Notes: - Pittsburgh's mascot the past 40+ seasons has been the Pirate Parrot, with parrots often depicted perched on pirates' shoulders - A lime-like parrot green becomes the team's primary color, with black shifting to more of a trim/tertiary color - I worked up a "Parrots" wordmark in the MLB Pirates font - A cartoony rendering of the Pirate Parrot occupies the jerseys' left sleeve Feedback is welcome! I'll have another team up shortly.

This is a series I've been talking about doing for years with @Victormrey, @Carolingian Steamroller and @MJD7. Vic had the idea that it would be cool if each MLB team had an alternate uniform that displayed both its city AND team name. For this series, I scoured the main site for teams' primary, alternate and wordmark logos--all of which tend to include their full names--for inspiration. Since many teams' current primary/alternate/wordmark logos don't feature their full names, expect some designs to be of throwback in nature. I'll be posting division by division, starting today with the NL West! DODGERS: The Dodgers get a blue alternate that uses the arched block "LOS ANGELES" from their 2008 50th anniversary logo. GIANTS: I gave San Francisco a mono black treatment with a jersey displaying their 2000-present wordmark logo. PADRES: This one's a bit of a fauxback, as I recreated the Friars' 1978 uniforms but with the team's current script and numbers. I feel this one could easily slot into the Padres' uniform rotation, as they don't currently use a gold alternate. ROCKIES: The Rockies design is based on Colorado's Turn Ahead the Clock unis, with the team's current alternate logo and block numbers replacing the TATC jersey's giant mountain range and "futuristic" numbers. DIAMONDBACKS: For Arizona, I brought back the Snakes' classic purple/turquoise/copper color scheme, using a modified version of the team's 1998-2006 alternate logo for the jersey. I'm tempted to try this one in Arizona's current black/Sedona red/turquoise colors, so let me know if anyone is interested in seeing that. That's the NL West! An AL division will be up next.

Recently I've been going back to some of my earliest hand-drawn baseball and "remastering" them in MS Paint. One interesting idea I had way back when was "reversed" MLB identities; essentially, taking (mostly) geographic rivals who share a city or state and swapping recognizable uniform designs with one another. See below: CUBS x 1983 WHITE SOX I felt the Cubs' identity lent itself well to the 1982-86 White Sox design with its use of blue and red. I used the block "CUBS" from their 2014 road alt for the jersey and a modified version of the "angry bear" logo for the cap. WHITE SOX x 1942 CUBS I always thought there was something really cool about the zippered 1942 Cubs home uniform, especially with its unusual vest/sleeve design. Turns out it also looks great in black and red for the White Sox. Thanks to @Carolingian Steamroller for suggesting I use the South Siders' 1930-31 jersey logo. C&C appreciated! I'll post more pairs of teams as I finish them.

Hi everyone, For my latest project, I wanted to do address the overabundance of blue & red teams across Major League Baseball. For inspiration, I figured I'd look at the colors of other local teams to create some regional visual unity, similar to the way that all Pittsburgh teams use black and gold. Note that some teams will be using throwback colors of local teams, such as the first team below. We start today with the Texas Rangers in the San Antonio Spurs' fiesta colors. Thanks to @Victormrey for the suggestion! RANGERS HOME RANGERS ROAD RANGERS HOME ALT 1 RANGERS HOME ALT 2 RANGERS HOME ALT 3 RANGERS ROAD ALT C&C appreciated! Another team will be up soon.
