thespungo Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I love the idea behind MLB's Hispanic Heritage promotion, although at times the jersey executions leave a lot to be desired. So I thought MLB could benefit from reaching out to another segment of excited foreign fans and embrace the history Asian players have brought to the league, as well as show off some cool jersey designs on the field. I wrote a pretty in-depth piece on Medium which explores some Asian baseball history and some reasons why this promotion would be a good idea for the game. You can read it here: Major League Baseball Should Have an Asian Heritage Month -- And They Should Hire a White Guy (Me) to Design It In the meantime, to build some more buzz around this project and hopefully get the attention of MLB, I released a run of t-shirts of my initial designs. They're now available for purchase here: The Asian Heritage Baseball Collection @ Represent Below are some highlights from the project: You can view the entire collection on my Behance profile.

It's like the letter S in English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cokeologist Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Very nicely done; hope you will be doing a St. Louis Cardinals version in Korean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Great work! I'd like to see the White Sox. Their ballpark is right next to Chinatown, so the Asian heritage concept is appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeG Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I noticed Mariners, Royals, Angels were Japanese. And that Pirates and Dodgers were Korean but what was the Mets? It doesn't seem like either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenD Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 This is a really cool idea, if you do a braves one I would definitely suggest you use Korean, also I think it'd be cool if you added the language the word marks are in, because I doubt I'm the only one that can't tell the difference.
