Victormrey Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 "I want to wake up, in a city that doesn't sleep", so let's go with the Mets! After doing big changes, I kept Mets designs almost the same. The home uniform remains the same. For the road uniform I got rid of the sleeve blue trimming, using the 1986 "New York" script. Now the big changes come with alts: for the home I decided to do a fauxback inspired by the 1986 home uniform, and the road is inspired by the A Affiliate St. Lucie Mets home uniform, using blue as main colour (thanks to @coco1997 for showing me this amazing uni!).

Paul Lucas Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Great work with the Mets. Love the racing stripe alt and the road script. Not feeling the sleeves on the road alt, to be honest. I'd say make the sleeves blue with orange piping...and you've got a winner! Also, orange stripes on the stirrups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coco1997 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Since the new road alt (which looks great, by the way) now bears no resemblance to that St. Lucie Mets jersey, I have a modest suggestion: Put the racing stripes on the home primary set--because let's face it, the Mets should wear the racing stripes full-time--and make the St. Lucie-set the home alt. Orange sleeves, orange "Mets" script, orange placket piping and orange bill on the cap. (I would leave off the front numbers, though. I think they clutter up an otherwise really clean look.) Do all that and you have a beautiful set for the Mets that incorporates all the elements you intended to include. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Lucas Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Not bad, but I think the St. Lucie look works best for the St. Lucie Mets. It's too summery/minor-leaguey for New York. For me, the original set (with new road alt) is the best. It's among the sharpest in the game. Also, I like the alternate use of the racing stripes without going full-80's mode. Excellent job, V! Can't wait to see my Yanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahowe6464 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Road/Road Alt are great. I agree with @Paul Lucas though, aside from the new road alt, you crushed it on the original set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolingian Steamroller Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I think the original all white with racing stripes works way better than the one with pins. Love the gray road too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I know the St. Lucie-inspired alt seems to be unpopular, but can we see it with the "Mets" script in orange like the original St. Lucie jersey? Other than that, everything is perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, the Yankees' set was the easiest set to design. Let's admit it, whether you love them or you hate them, they have one of the most iconic looks, not only in baseball, but in sports in general. The home uniform remains the same, except for the front logo: I changed the original design for the cap logo, in order to create a more consistent look, and for the road uniform I changed the order of the colours on the trims. I decided to create two alternate uniforms: both use the same script. The home alt is cream and navy, while the road alt is navy/red/white inspired by some Yanks jackets which feature those colours (thanks to @Paul Lucas for suggesting that scheme!).

coco1997 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Those Yankees alternates are fantastic. I love everything about them. One small suggestion for the road set: Try making the crown of the cap gray with a navy bill, navy "NY" and white trim around the logo. I've always wanted to see what this would look like, and I think it would fit your concept well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
