ECUFan25 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Man, 200 posts. Where has time gone. I've been through 5 months on these boards and averaged 40 posts a month, and that's 1 1/3 posts per day (wait a minute, why am I doing math over summer break?), and i've learned one thing. Nobody makes solid work every time. Even me, though I do like to think so . Anyway, back to the concept. I've seen many people comment on here that my team, the Rays should relocate and they suck and it kills me seeing it every time. But, i've learned to accept the fact that it's true and they will eventually either have to get a new stadium or relocate. So as a little tribute to the Rays, here is my 200th post. I might turn this into an MLB series if it is well received. But in the meantime, let's talk about the series.1. Each team will be getting a complete rebrand, no matter what (yes, you too, Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox and Cubs)2. Each team will have a Home, Road and Alternate (sorry, Marlins)3. Each team is limited to at most 2 caps (once again, sorry, Marlins)4. And last, but not least, each team MUST have at least one promotional jersey, they will come when the full series is over.So here are the Rays,CHANGES:-Adopted a mix of past and present colors-Shortened name to Tampa Rays-Took on a whole new font, UA University-Home and Road are NOT vests, they just have colored sleevesThanks for reading!,ECUFan25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhreshPrince12 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I really like the idea, but your color choices make me think of the Hornets too much. Maybe try black and a lighter green instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECUFan25 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Actually, I was originally going to use black and lime but I was unhappy with the finished product so I went back and settled on a Mariners/old Marlins color schemeAlso, it's actually navy, not purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOLAPelicans23 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Try black and light blue it might look good because the color scheme looks like Charlotte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PittsburghRU679 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Interesting idea but seems kinda bland. I was not a fan when the Rays demoted the manta to a sleeve patch, and this ditches the Sun ray and the Manta Ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubsfan2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 First of all,congrats for 200 posts!Second,that looks pretty well,but the font is the only part where I see change.Try a different font,and that could look better.1. Each team will be getting a complete rebrand, no matter what (yes, you too, Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox and Cubs)Dammit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Very generic. Focus on developing the skills necessary to really detail uniforms. Think it's a good starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upperV03 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I'm really not sold on your color scheme or your choice of font. The cap logo isn't really a logo at all, and your font just isn't very strong for a sports uniform. In addition, the uniforms are very plain and uninspired, and the font choice does nothing to diminish that fact. It's a decent start but at the very least I would look into changing the font and developing an actual logo, and possibly look into using a different and more unique color scheme after that.

PhreshPrince12 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Sorry, it looks a little more like purple to me. If black and lime didn't work, then maybe just brighten the teal up a little. It is a very good design overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1insaneguy Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 The colors do really look a lot like the Hornets. That teal jersey looks a lot like one the Marlins (the Rays interstate rivals no less) used to wear. My recommendation is to go for something like their old 2001-07 uniforms. It's a nice start but it needs something to separate it from the other Rays concepts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECUFan25 Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 I tried a version with light blue to separate it from charlotteand also a new primary logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed618 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 The blue and the teal look a bit too close to each other. I'd lighten the blue a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportzfan Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 thats going to need a lot of work, just look at your pin stripes, they are unevenly spaced and crooked. don't even get me started on anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECUFan25 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 I DO have the Yankees completed, scrounging internet on the O's I will post the Empire on Fri.

ECUFan25 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 YANKEES!!What's New:Emphasized red more Added light blue back, I made it same prominency as red Kept the pinstripes b/c they're such an important part of their history so I slimmed them down a notch Drop-shadowed the numbers, had an idea, just wanted to try it outSo without further ado Here's NYY!C and C is greatly appreciated!

PaperThin Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Yikes, thats rough. I would make the numbers and the wordmark the same color since the two colors dont go well together. I would shrink the numbers a little and stick to pretty much two colors, and have the other color just an accent color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 The Yankees look very late '90s minor league-ish or even little league. I do like the idea of drop shadows on the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabel777 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Wow. Needs a lot of work. The color scheme is just not working for me, and neither are the fonts. Light blue, dark blue, and bright red just don't go together in my opinion. The drop shadow on the back numbers could work, but I would make it smaller and make the front and back number the same color. The alternate is probably your best uniform here, but the "YANKEES" font is very generic. I agree that you should keep the pinstripes on the home jersey, but your pinstripes are not even at all. Overall, this concept could work, but it needs to be cleaned up quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
