kroywen Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 For already-pinstriped teams, I'd actually take it in a slightly different direction - keep the pinstripes on their home uniform (since that is the Yankee hallmark), but use a chest logo rather than a wordmark. So, for the Phillies, use the cap logo "P" on the left breast, rather than the Phillies wordmark across the chest. Under this logic, three teams already have uniforms that are almost fully "Yankee-fied" - the Yankees (of course), the Cubs, and the White Sox (minus the front numbers). Though with the Cubs, if you truly want to go "Full Yankee," just put the "C" cap logo on the chest, rather than the full Cubs logo. Of course, this would create the jarring image of a Mets home jersey with their interlocking NY on the chest, which for us Yankee fans is probably worth the price of admission alone.

I had thought of going this route, but I thought it wasn't "enough", because it would result in just rehashing a current away uniform: So here's the first of the new options, which results in a more closely Yankee'd uniform. Or option 2, which results in a lot more pinstripes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I actually really like that top option, even though it’s similar there are very few teams that will be that close to the Yankees. The pinstriped home just looks too good to pass up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroywen Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I really like that top option as well. The Phillies' road uniform is about as close as you can get to the Yankees' road uniform as-is, so it makes sense that it would be virtually unchanged. They're the only two uniforms in the majors that use the (extremely dated) three-stripe armholes. One change you can make to differentiate the updated Phils' road uniform from their existing road? Switch the armholes to red/white/red, rather than white/red/white. That would be in line with the Yankees' road uniforms: versus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coco1997 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 There's a lot of potential to mine different teams' logo histories for ideas to come up with some really cool designs. For example. you could put the Brewers ball-in-glove logo or current "M" logo (yuck) on their home uniform, or you could use their interlocking "MB" logo from the '90s, which I think would be a lot more interesting. I'm also curious to see what you'll do for Detroit, as their home uniform with added pinstripes would be dangerously close to the Yankees' home set, unless you went a little out there and did something like make the "D" orange.

coco1997 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 If you want to make the road unis truly Yankee-fied, shouldn't the sleeve stripes be at the very edge of the sleeve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it should. I'll make sure to do that going forward. Here we have San Fran. A fair amount of changes actually went into this one. Home uni is cream with black pinstripes. Interlocking SF on the chest, kept the Giants baseball club logo on the sleeves on both jerseys. On the road greys, I used the arced San Francisco and flipped the sleeve trim colors to match the Yankees style (darker color on the outside). Beyond that, there isn't much to it. Let me know what you guys think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinturner95 Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 Our first foray into the AL begins in Cleveland: The Indians could have really looked like the Yankees if I flipped the block C to navy. However in the interest of individuality, I chose to match the name/number color scheme on both the home and the roads. I also used the simpler single color stripe that the Indians use as trim on the current road greys. Kept the stripes on the navy socks. C&C welcome!

coco1997 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Very cool! A really solid, classy design. Just curious, for teams who currently use script road wordmarks but have used block wordmarks in the past, such as the Royals, Twins and Reds, will you be keeping their current scripts or adopting past block wordmarks? I ask because scripts aren't very Yankee-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Lucas Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Well done, I think a blue/red/blue sleeve piping would look great too. I'm enjoying this series, who's next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contemplated taking the white out on the road uniform, and I might go back and do that anyways. But anyways, used the drop shadow T from the hats on the home uniform and kept the same TEXAS wordmark for the road. Beyond that, I think I said it all C&C welcome!

colinturner95 Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 Tampa Bay's identity could be so much better. If they had a better balance of navy and light blue, they'd look ten times better IMO. However that is not the discussion we're having here. Nope, now we're gonna see how the Yankees treatment hits them. Rather than navy pinstripes, I went light blue, thinking that it would be more unique. Also went with light blue socks and shoes for the unique factor. Same with the away sleeve stripes, where I tried to work in some yellow. C&C welcome!
