DIYsportsguy Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 As a Detroit native, most would consider the homes as untouchable. Having said that, I think it's a really good look. The road cap and the orange jersey are fantastic. I'd like to see the orange jersey with a navy outlined in white "D", but using the Tigers script is a nice way to bring all of their marks together. And the Tiger head is a phenomenal sleeve patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my initia idea, but I didn't look very good on the designs (the baseball looks too small). I'll use it as sleeve patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victormrey Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 Let's rock it out! The Colorado Rockies have kept their look since their foundation back in 1993, and I think it's time to change it. I love to see sport teams using purple, but I'm not a fan of the shade used by the Rockies, that's why I've changed it, lighting it up. I've designed to logos, inspired by the Colorado Rockies former NHL team, and by the flag of Colorado: For the caps I decided to use another version of the Colorado C. That means no more Cristiano Ronaldo wearing a Rockies cap, LOL. I decided not to make big changes in the uniforms: now the home and alt home cap is white, black and purple, while the road and alt road is just black and purple. The home uniform keeps the pinstripes, but now they're purple, as well as the baselayer and the socks. The road uniform is grey with white and purple details, featuring mountain-themed sleeves amd pants. The alt home uni is mainly purple with white and black details, and the alt road design is a black vested uniform with a purple baselayer and details. I decided to make new wordmarks as well, using the "Fairview" font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolingian Steamroller Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Take a bow. I think this is your best one yet. The new cap is really nice but that script just blows everything away. The sleeve and pants piping with the mountain range is terrific. You've got the biggest pieces in place just a couple of tweaks in my mind: 1: I'd go with a white version of the road template for the home rather than pinstripes. For starters its your best look, so why not let the home crowd see it. Also white panel caps don't mesh with pinstripes since you have one white surface with pins and one without. If you switch to a white version of the mountain range piping you can keep the white panel cap. 2: I think you're better off picking one template for the alts. Either use the sleeveless (I'd ditch the headspoon since you're not using it elsewhere) or the straight softball with the mountain range sleeves. This is absurdly close to being perfect since you've hit for extra bases so many places on this set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Lucas Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I like the road...and also the road alternate. The mountain sleeve pipping is a very nice touch. I've always wondered what that would look like and I think you pulled it off well. I'd remove it from the pants (especially since the road alt doesn't have...and it'd be borderline too much).

coco1997 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I agree with @Carolingian Steamroller--this is your best set yet! My biggest complaint with most Rockies concepts is that the wordmarks (when altered) never look quite right, but you managed to find one that fits perfectly and most importantly is superior to what they currently use. I think the changes you made from your original concept are improvements, but for the road alt, I'd bring back the purple placket piping and add the "C" logo on the chest. If you decide not to add the "C" as a crest logo, at least bring back the placket piping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke13T Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Finally, the Rockies done right.Man it bugs me when black is dropped from the Rockies color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendocfc Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I'd get rid of the purple sleeves (?) in the road alt. It's a bit too much if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victormrey Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Let's move on to Houston. The Astros, along with the Rays, were my first tweak. I took their current style, logos and wordmarks, and applied the Tequila Sunrise pattern to the uniforms. This is the result: You can find the original post and ideas here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I thought you perfected the Astros in your previous topic, so I don't have much to say this time around. P.S. Nice job on the Rockies! The black sleeves and added placket piping are a big improvement to the road alt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm a little late to the party on this but I think for Either the AL East or NL/AL Central I think Buffalo could work well in any of those 3 divisions. In regards, to NOLA i feel like Rivermen could work because of it being such an important port city connected to the sea and mighty Mississippi River http://i.imgur.com/Yz8Jexr.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
