Navy camo probably makes more sense, but the desert camo colors fit with their identity better and I'm loving the camo stripes on the stirrups! The Navy is on the verge of dumping the digital blue camo (NWU type I), that's why he went the Marine route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Lucas Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I think the yellow jersey would look better paired with the home pants. The brown jersey works well both home and away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victormrey Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 So, the Giants are the next (apart from the Rays, which are already done). This what I've thought for them: -Home uniform: same than the current, dropping the gold shadow from the wordmark. -Road uniform: keeping the design, but using the "SF" monogram from the alt uni. -Home alt uniform: like the home, same design than the current, but using white instead of gold for the wordmark. -Alt/Special uniform: black design, featuring "Giants" or maybe "San Francisco" in the Metallica font, which was one of the very first Thrash Metal bands (music genre which I really like), and which is very related to the city of San Francisco and the Bay Area. Actually, the band has performed at some Giants games. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Metallica alt, will you be using black lettering with orange trim on a black uniform? I'm normally not a fan of this look but I think in this instance it would work.

coco1997 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Since that yellow Padres alt is now paired with the home pants, can we see the brown alt with the road pants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolingian Steamroller Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 A lot to like on that Padres set. I really like how the alts turned out and the road uniform especially. One question I have is with the double piping. Just like the current road (and previous home) you have piping around the collar that is the same color as the base layer. It's a pet peeve of mine so you're under no obligation to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he means that given the trim is in the same colour than the baselayer, the double piping wouldn't be really visible in-game (am I right?). But even so, I'd like to keep it, thinking on the players who don't use visible baselayers and the fans in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahowe6464 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Yellow + Home, Brown + Road looks great. Swinging Friar patch on the brown alt needs an outline though. Other than that this set is one of my favorites so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originally tried to create an outline for the Friar patch but I didn't manage to do it (that's why it doesn't feature it). I'll keep on trying though.

Victormrey Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 "Save the Mantaray!" Along with the Astros, the Tampa Bay Rays were my very first MLB tweak. I took their current style, mixing it with the gradient originally used by the team in 1998: You can find the original post and ideas here: Apart from these, inspired by my Pirates sleeve-less uniform, I went nuts and designed this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Loving that home alt! Rays pitchers would probably have an advantage because opposing hitters would be very disoriented at home plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahowe6464 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 You've posted that Rays set somewhere else, right? It looks familiar. It still looks just as great. The sleeveless alternate is oddly gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the soccer GK's from the 90's used flashy colours and crazy designs (supposedly) to distract rival strikers, so why not using the same tactic in baseball? 7 minutes ago, ahowe6464 said: You've posted that Rays set somewhere else, right?

I'll be starting the designs tomorrow. But I have already started with the script for the Metallica alt: What do you think? I'm not sure about it, the S looks weird to me.
