Victormrey Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 So, while doing the Premier League x Baseball crossover series, I had the idea of doing a next series about MLB tweaks. This comes from the re-designing idea I had for the Tampa Bay Rays. I think their current indentity is fine, but, IMO, the colours they use don't stand out, specially compared to the scheme they used dyring their first two years (from 1998 to 2000). That's why I decided to take their current wordmark and logos, using their original multi-colour gradient, using navy just for the trimming. These are the wordmarks from the jerseys: For the uniforms I decided to keep navy as seconary colour, adding the gradient on the cuffs, pants, socks and numbers borders. For the caps I decided to make the front white for the home and alt versions, inspired by the @Carolingian Steamroller's designs: NOTE: I know there are other TB Rays concepts on the forum, but I don't know if somebody has already tried this same idea. C&C appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolingian Steamroller Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 As much as I loathed the gradient design when it came out, this is actually a really cool idea. Using the gradient on the pants looks particularly nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Brilliant job! This is a really creative approach to the Rays. I hope you follow through with a full MLB series! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahowe6464 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 The gradient looks really great, I really like it as the number outline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Lucas Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Fantastic! Could you do a 'TAMPA BAY' wordmark on the road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjm3114jr Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I'm not a huge fan of the wordmark. It is too generic. What if you did something along the lines of the 1997 Orlando Rays wordmark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite I like the style used during their first years, if I used it, the result would be almost exactly to their original wordmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCutt Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I love what you've done with this. The way the gradient works out almost reminds me of a tequila sunrise style. Normally I'm not a fan of gradients either, especially in logos, but the way you've done this is amazing. The number outline and pants stripe look great too. Well done! I believe in Auburn and love it! @RealTCutt Colossians 3:23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ Sands Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 This is excellent, and what the Astros should have done. It's different and bold yet refined at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Lucas Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 The more I see it, the more I like the idea. If they don't increase the use of the Columbia blue and emphasize the yellow more, then they should definitely do This. Could you show us the cap logo and the manta ray?

Paul Lucas Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I would have never thought to put the gradient on manta ray. Brilliant!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
