coco1997 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Pretty straightforward approach to the Yankees. I like all the small changes you made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncoboy7 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Simple, yet effective as I say! Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victormrey Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Maybe Yankees fans would kill me for saying this, but, how about an off-white (cream) alternate uniform with a navy "Yankees" wordmark in this style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolingian Steamroller Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Good Morning! Big changes for the Rays. As far as color scheme went, I gave serious thought to bringing back the green/light blue scheme from the early '00s. I mocked it up in green but somehow I didn't think it worked better than the navy/powder blue/yellow scheme they currently employ. Key to my thinking was their awesome pullover fauxbacks. So I thought, "What would the Rays look like if they tried to do the same thing with their fake double knit era that Toronto did with their real double knit era? Then I saw the Mariners recent throwbacks and it clicked. Powder blue roads, shoulder stripes, and panel cap while still being calm and restrained. The true wackiness is reserved for the alts which incorporate contrasting raglan sleeves. I loved the look from spring training this year so that's what I used as the focal point. All in all I think this gives the Rays a much needed jolt while still giving them classy and sleek home and roads. C&C as always. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it consistent with black being in the center of all the other piping. Also, it'll differ from the Orioles set with the same b/w/b (which shouldn't be changed since it's perfect...like a throwback). Great work!

Paul Lucas Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 That could work, but I think w/b/w would work better. You've gotten rid of a lot of clutter and keeping a consistent 3-color piping would be best. Like seamlessly bringing that great look to this set.

coco1997 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 The Rays look awesome! Not really what I expected you'd do with them but a nice look nonetheless. Personally I think the powder blue looks a little too gray, unless that was your intention. And I still think Tampa could do better than navy blue as far as their color scheme goes but the added emphasis on yellow is a big improvement. The "t-bar" shoulder stripes are a nice touch, too.

Carolingian Steamroller Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Gave the green Rays one more shot. Which version looks better navy or green? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victormrey Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I think navy is definitely better than green. I really like what you've done for the Rays, specially the use of their alt logo on the front of the unis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I do like the green, but paired with yellow it makes them look too much like the A's, so I'd say stick with the navy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you considered making the powder blue closer to the blue of their current alternate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolingian Steamroller Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 Blue Jays to wrap up the AL East. No changes aside from removing the navy outline from the road script and adding the white panel to the home cap. AL Central kicks off Monday. Enjoy!

coco1997 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 No complaints about the Jays. They've got one of the best sets in baseball as is. Looking forward to the AL Central! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
