I know they have the green monster, but that isn't their color Well, no, green is not an official color. The Red Sox do, however, seem to use it in quite a few different logos of theirs. Especially considering the presence Fenway Park has not only in the history of the Red Sox, but it the city of Boston itself, it made it more of a "why not" sort of thing.

Nevertheless, here is a look at what that would be like: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that I found interesting about the original is that none of the teams had the same front/back/piping color combination. Doing this would eliminate some white and gray, which is good (making it more like the Padres), but would also cause some repeats of colors. I tried to compromise a bit. But idk, maybe that's just me. Let me know what you all think! I see what your saying. Nats: Way better. They look similar to the Cardinals but not so much and I think its good. Blue Jays:The dark blue looks good, but it needs some red. Maybe the striping? Angles/Indians: I see the issue...Keep one white...Or use the cream color from the Indians alternate. Cubs/Dodgers: I see the issue..The Dodgers could have a blue front, which would look a bit like the Phillies but their shade are very different.

Since the Indians wouldn't wear their alternate for the ASG, I would probably want to keep the Angels white, but let me know what you think. 14 hours ago, mee said: Cubs/Dodgers: I see the issue..The Dodgers could have a blue front, which would look a bit like the Phillies but their shade are very different. LA is the one I'm most hesitant about. I would honestly rather the one on the right over having too much red, because the only time it's used on the jersey is the front number.

coco1997 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 None of those look as good as the originals you came up with, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mee Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 For the Jays the most right looks good enough without the red... For the Dodgers yes go with the grey back. Unique as well as no other team has a gray back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely understand the precedent of trying to avoid white or gray, because that's what I set out for at the beginning, to use as many different colors as possible. However, for some teams, it simply didn't work. For the Dodgers and some of the others, it could be argued that their secondary color is a white or gray, moreso than red at least.

MJD7 Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Here are some last-second updates to some of the hats that I might consider, depending on the reactions they get of what you guys think. So here we go: Here is a possible switch of orange and black for the Orioles, making them less similar to the Giants, and therefore pretty much the rest of the league. Let me know what you all think: I'm seriously considering switching the Cubs front panel to red, to further differentiate from the Dodgers. If anyone thinks that switching makes them too close to the Rangers now, let me know. Here is a side-by-side comparison: Would anyone prefer that I switch the black and purple for the Rockies? I'm torn on this one: Since the Tigers will be wearing their home uniforms this year, the only way the orange hat would look good is if they had orange cleats to balance, like they have the past couple of years. Would anyone prefer a white front? Also, since the Mets will be wearing road uniforms, would anyone want to see a little bit of gray added? Lastly, here is a Padres version that incorporates the "Battleship Gray" that is seen in the All-Star Game logo. Anyone can let me know whether you like this version better: That's it for now, all comments/criticisms are welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJD7 Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 After now seeing the real All-Star Game hats in person, I am even more disappointed in how they turned out looking.. In light of that, here is the most recent update and possibly the last, depending on how much reception they get. The only change I decided to actually go with is the Mets in order to add that little bit of gray. Also, although I like the blue and yellow Brewers hat more by itself, I decided to change it to navy and gold because the mismatch of the navy and royal just looks silly in the real game. Big thanks to anyone who has followed this so far, and once again, all comments/criticisms are encouraged! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I think the original versions of all of those caps are better than the updated ones. I could go either way on the Mets one because the gray is such a subtle difference.

I could go either way on the Mets one because the gray is such a subtle difference. I figured as much. Most of them were just shots to see if anyone would have a strong reaction one way or another honestly. The two most legitimate chances were like you said the Mets, and also the Cubs to differ a bit from the Dodgers. I wish MLB did something Padres or San Diego themed for this years game, but oh well. I am starting to think of ideas for Miami next year as well, but I'm having a kind of tough time.. I was really hoping for at least a little bit more reaction to the concept as a whole, does anyone else have any remarks or suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
