Victormrey Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Great start with the DBacks and the Braves! Really unique concepts for both of them (and for the rest of teams, I'm sure) which contrast with the Majors current average look. I'd like to see a cap with the white front for the Braves home uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 When I was trying to figure out which team was which on the graphic in your first post, I was pretty sure Washington was going to be the red and yellow one, so this came as a nice surprise. This scheme works surprisingly well for Atlanta, however, I agree with @Carolingian Steamroller that the mono-red look is a little much. Keep up the great work!

And yea that's definitely a possible combination, here's what it would look like: 6 hours ago, Carolingian Steamroller said: I really like the home uniform.

And yea I understand, I'd probably agree. What do you think could be an alternative though? I tried breaking up the red with some yellow. I don't think all yellow would look good.

Carolingian Steamroller Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 This may sound boring, but I'd just go with a traditional grey. A neutral color is a good way to off set the heat from the red and yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A neutral color is a good way to off set the heat from the red and yellow. That was one of the goals of the series, to avoid regular gray whenever possible. I could maybe try an anthracite color, or incorporating black throughout the set, but I still think red would look better than anthracite or regular gray.

Looking into the future, the Braves won't be the only team with a look that might seem a little unconventional at first, it's one of the side effects of trying to make the league more colorful I guess. And as a side note to let everybody know, the two expansion teams in the Central have switched leagues in order to have better color distribution throughout the respective divisions.

I'd actually go the other way and opt for gold. It has some usage in MLB from the Padres and A's. Anthracite is a definite no, since its the most abused shade in sports right now. You could opt for a light grey (did the Astros do this with the late-stage sunrise uniforms?) or just go with red over white like its the double knit era.

mamiller99 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I'm a fan of that black jersey, maybe as an alt or Sunday jersey. Could have black panels with a yellow (or red) front and bill? That's what- She Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolingian Steamroller Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Very cool. The white on the red road really takes the edge off. While I do really enjoy the all white home jersey, the red sleeves are still super cool and make a great connection to the latter day Aaron uniforms.

MJD7 Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Up to the plate for a redesign today are the Baltimore Orioles: Logos -It had to be the Orioles or the Giants to make the color switch. Although the scheme doesn't quite make sense with the colors of an actual oriole, it has historical precedence with the St. Louis Browns before them, and also seems to fit in well with the area. -The logos otherwise remain unchanged, besides the orange jersey becoming the away. Uniforms -The striping is my own attempt to incorporate the Maryland flag in some way, something that has been tried many times before. I did my version with one brown and one orange stripe, with a 'mix' stripe in the middle looking like part of the Maryland flag. This style also allows the common sock pattern of the Orioles to be brought in to match, since that also has two white stripes. -For the alternate jerseys, the stripe that matches the jersey color was switched to the opposite color to prevent asymmetry, if that makes sense. That's about all I've got for today. As always, C+C would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Great job! The brown has historical precedence with the St. Louis Browns, so it works. Not to nitpick, but Matt Wieters isn't on the Orioles anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why I didn't just have Adam Jones in the first place. 11 hours ago, mamiller99 said: I'm a fan of that black jersey, maybe as an alt or Sunday jersey.

I might save red and black for another team down the line though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavePunter Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I'd put Orioles on at least one of the alts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
