USA Baseball (WBC)

[TwoRsAndTwoLs]

Every year or two I think about how I would change the designs and uniforms for the USA National Baseball Team. The general idea I always have is that the team should look like one of the classic MLB teams like the Yankees, Tigers, and Dodgers. I don't want the team to look exactly the same, of course, but, well, let's have a look. Here's what I've got for a Home Uniform:

I decided to drop the "A" from the large monogram on the left chest. These chest-logo designs tend not to be highly detailed, and I thought a full "USA" would be a bit busy.

The cap logo, though, you can be a bit more ornate. I'm sure this'll drive some people nuts, but I think it's appropriate given the historical theme I'm going for.

Here's the road set:

Dodgers' red front number shows up here; I chose it as a tribute to the man who might be the 20th Century's most important athlete, Jackie Robinson. Red piping on this uniform flanked by white to emulate the flag. I went with the white outline on the country name and numbers to follow suit.

Home Chest Detail:

What do you think?

Kind of a classic take on Baseball uniforms which is good. Will you do more countries?

[Evil G]

Meh, not a huge fan of the cap or chest logos. I do like the script on the away jerseys tho.

These are some good looking threads, but what you said about only the US part of USA on the home dosen't sit right with me. I say this because the Chicago White Sox have SOX in a really ornate font on their uniforms. So, I'll let you decide, but if you want to keep the US thing, I'm cool with that. I would just like to see the full USA on the home.

I wouldn't change too much as far as the uniform goes. The only thing that stands out is that the cap is USA while the jersey is US. I prefer the US detail, but stick with just one.

I'd go with either US or USA for both the hat and jersey. And the different fonts don't feel right even if they are similar.

I think I'd rather drop the A from the cap than add it to the jersey. Here's what the Cap US looks like...

I was thinking an alternate might say "America" on it, or I would do a blue version of the home uni. What do you think would work better?

[MJWalker45]

America wouldn't work simply because to most Latin countries America includes the entirety of the Western Hemisphere. A blue jersey with USA or United States with its own hat design would work though.
