wat11 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 So I had started another thread like this using Mizuno's custom jersey site and Richardson Hat's site. I was pretty close to finishing the American League but I felt the site kind of limited me to different design options. I also wanted to include pants and socks with my ideas so I found a template online. I'm kind of going back and forth between paint and iVinci (which I'm still learning to use). As with my previous thread I'm going to add two expansion teams, making 8 divisions of 4 teams each. My expansion teams are going to be the Expos and the Portland Loggers. I will also have Tampa relocating to Charlotte and taking the name of the minor league Carolina Mud Cats (I will be changing the colors). To create the divisions, I found this map online, and made some changes to include the 3 new teams, my divisions will be as follows NL EAST NL NORTH NL SOUTH NL WEST New York Mets Milwaukee Brewers Washington Nationals San Francisco Giants Montreal Expos St Louis Cardinals Carolina Mud Cats LA Dodgers Philadelphia Phillies Cincinnati Reds Miami Marlins San Deigo Padres Pittsburgh Pirates Chicago Cubs Atlanta Braves Arizona Diamondbacks AL EAST AL NORTH AL SOUTH AL WEST New York Yankees Detroit Tigers Texas Rangers California Angels Boston Red Sox Cleveland Indians Houston Astros Oakland A's Toronto Blue Jays Chicago White Sox Kansas City Royals Portland Loggers Baltimore Orioles Minnesota Twins Colorado Rockies Seattle Mariners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wat11 Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 NL EAST New York Mets (Edited) I think this new template turns out a lot cleaner. Hopefully the colors are a little better. As far as the road alts, I think they could work with white pants as a home alt. I may come back and do that but for now, these are my changes. Let me know what you think!

cjm3114jr Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I agree, your template could use some work. I like the retro stripes on the Mets. If the numbers had an orange outline, they would be as close to perfect as they can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If also extend the striping to the pants. Also, your colors look off; the blue is too bright and the orange is too red. I would find the Mets actual colors and go from there.

BenD Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 The colors look a little neon, but I like the idea for the mets, can't wait for the expansion teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wat11 Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Philadelphia Phillies I wanted to go back to the maroon that they used in the 80s. I feel like the lighter red and blue are kind of over used in MLB. I didn't want to use the powder blue pants, but tried to incorporate it into their jerseys. I had to use a different template on the home uniforms because of the pinstripes. C&C appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wat11 Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Pittsburgh Pirates Nothing too crazy here... I used the old script on the road jersey and tried to reverse the colors to match the numbers, but it didn't turn out very clean. Let me know what you think!

RCMacc Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 As a Phillies Fan I can say I'm not a fan of that set. Firstly the burgandy is too dark, it just looks brown. Also the P is inconsistent choose one don't use both, and the racing stripes just don't make sense in this context. The light blue is too bright and feels out of place, it really wasn't a color used by the team outside of the road uniform in the 70s and 80s, so if you were to use it then keep it there and commit to it, it does not look good on the grey pants. Back to an earlier point, If your going to use the 80s P then get rid of the script on the jersey and use a cleaned up/modernized version of that uniform or if your gonna use the modern script, then brighten up the colors and clean up the jersey in a similar way. Make a choice in which your gonna use. Drop the alternates they don't look particularly good. Looking at the road uniform I see something that's really close to looking really good, if you used a slightly lighter Burgandy and white scheme (drop the blue) and kept the today Phillies script (stars burgandy not powder blue) with a burgandy hat with white P (matching the script) and make the piping consistent (white-burgandy-white with the same thickness in the pants and arms). If you want to use the powder blue make it a road alternate but don't use the grey pants go full blue, but lighten it so it's less bright. Also put white and burgandy liberty bells of the socks. the Pirates away script is okay but the block Pittsburgh one similar to that of the early 1900s works better IMO if it's updated and a number in the bottom left would work well there. Switch the P and # on the black alternate and make the piping consistent between the pants and arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, I tried to lighten up the maroon a little bit (to me it still looks a little dark when I upload the pictures). I used the newer "P" hat logo to match the script. I dropped the blue completely. I kept the home alt as that was one I originally liked, but used the "P" logo on this one instead. Hopefully this fixed some of the problems with the first attempt.

Theres 3 different templates I'm using. The first already has pinstripes on it, the second is just a regular button down, and the third is a two button pullover.

wat11 Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 Montreal Expos Thinking of adding a red road alt later... I'm not sure why my colors are turning out so dark, I'm using the exact color from the logos on this site... If anyone knows about that I would appreciate the help!

wat11 Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 I'm going to keep going here with what would be the NL North Milwaukee Brewers My hometown Brewers have quite the identity crisis. I've seen a lot of good concepts on the the boards. I was tempted to use the Navy and Green of the mid 90's, but I think I am in the minority of people who liked those uniforms. Im not so sure about the blue alts, I'll probably try something new with those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wat11 Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 I'm also looking for some help creating a couple logos and a script or two. I have some ideas that I have played around with on paint, but I can't get them to turn out very well. If anyone would be willing to help me out please let me know!

infernoqueso Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I think a button down would look much better than some of the two button looks. I think they look more like something they would wear for BP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
