Victormrey Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Inspired by the MLB x Under Armour deal announcement and by this article which talks about the need of modernizing the baseball uniforms, I decided to start this series, in which I'll be imagining how the MLB teams could look like within 3 years. Unlike in my tweak series, I won't be making changes based on my personal criteria/taste, but on what I think teams could do, given past designs and current design trends. I'll be using three designs as template: The first and second designs will be used for the home and road uniforms, while the third will be used for certain alts. I know they aren't as "radical" as the article aforementioned suggests, but I'm trying to be realistic, and that's why I've applied just some tweaks which would make the uniforms more comfortable for the players. I'll place the team list and order here, linking each one to its corresponding designs after having finished them: ALE Baltimore Orioles Boston Red Sox New York Yankees Tampa Bay Rays - V.2 Toronto Blue Jays ALC Chicago White Sox Cleveland Indians Detroit Tigers Kansas City Royals Minnesota Twins ALW Anaheim Angels Houston Astros Oakland Athletics Seattle Mariners Texas Rangers NLE Atlanta Braves Miami Marlins New York Mets Philadelphia Phillies Washington Nationals NLC Chicago Cubs Cincinnati Reds Milwaukee Brewers Pittsburgh Pirates St. Louis Cardinals NLW Arizona Diamondbacks Colorado Rockies Los Angeles Dodgers San Diego Padres San Francisco Giants 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victormrey Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Let's start with the O's! Under Armour is a Baltimore-based company, and they are proud to show it, as we can see in some of the Maryland Terrapins uniforms. That's why I decided to change the traditional pipping on the sleeves and pants, for a design inspired by the Baltimore flag. The home, road and home alt uniforms remain the same, introducing the Baltimore wordmark for road alt, dropping the cap with the O's script. I also decided to reintroduce the swinging bird as sleeve patch. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Awesome idea for a series! I'll be keeping a close eye on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Lucas Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Great start! I'd like to see the piping go completely around the sleeve, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victormrey Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 Following @Paul Lucas suggestion, I've updated the template: Using as reference an actual UA template. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victormrey Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 Moving on to Boston! The Red Sox look is so iconic that there's not much to change. I decided to bring back the navy baselayer, the double sleeve and pants pipping, and the classic sock designing, as well as the predominantly navy wordmark for the road uniform. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruins Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Other than the blue wording on the road jersey, this would be a fantastic look for the sox. Their alternates could definitely use some striping, and i like the look you went with here. Good work! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubsfan2015 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 This looks promising. Will be following very closely as it progresses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolingian Steamroller Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Only edit on Boston is match the script and numbers on the road jersey. I'm of two minds about red or blue but either way it just needs to be consistent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco0454 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I love what you did with the Boston unis, this is exactly what they need 10/10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of using the mainly navy script comes from my Tweak Series. I think it looks more balanced in that way. 13 hours ago, Carolingian Steamroller said: Only edit on Boston is match the script and numbers on the road jersey. It just needs to be consistent. Fixed! I've also updated the Orioles set: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victormrey Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 Time for the Bronx Bombers! Classic set for the Yankees: the home and road uniform remain the same, changing the navy cap for a grey one for the last one. I decided to add two alts: one white and other navy, using 1927/30 and 1931/72 wordmarks. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 The Yankees look great. For the road alt, I would put the "NY" logo on the chest rather than the "New York" wordmark. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Nice work on the Yankees, although I'd prefer something more along these lines (possibly even with Under Armour's faux-flannel pattern) for the away uniform. Plus I think the gray cap would look better with a solid navy logo rather than what you have now. But either way this is some great work so far in this series, and I look forward to seeing more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you don't have the white outline, you don't need the white piping (or any piping, for that matter). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
