SFGiants58 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Welcome to MLB: The Defunct Series! After spending last year producing Project 32’s myriad of redesigns and tweaks, I figured that I should apply the same philosophy to the defunct teams of the majors. Much like its predecessor, each team will have two to three parts. The first part will be the main concept, the one that I’m happiest with presenting/matches the historical trajectory of the team’s aesthetics. The other will be an alternate take, in which I can explore different identities and shirk brand equity to have a little fun. I’ve also got plans to include several attempted relocations, with a focus on deals that fell through at the last minute/pose the most visual interest. These will not have alternate takes since they are essentially alternate takes in their own right. The releases will go by chronology, starting with the Boston Braves. The only one out of order is the last one since the short lifespan of the said team leaves their visual history up for more speculation.

SFGiants58 Posted June 8, 2018 Author Share Posted June 8, 2018 BOSTON BRAVES, PT. I - Classically Bostonian EDIT (12/8/2021): The original post on the Boston Braves was an absurdly short summary with no cited sources. I’d like to take this opportunity to rectify that mistake and bring it in line with some of my other explanations. While the Braves predated the Red Sox in Boston by several decades, it was clear by the 1930s that the balance of power had shifted towards the American League club. Between several new owners and temporarily a new name (Bees), the Braves couldn’t emerge from their attendance rut. They never finished in the top half of attendance between 1934 and 1946. Despite the buoying of the 1948 NL Pennant team and its associated attendance boost (1,455,439), the team’s fortunes had fallen back to their norm by the start of the ‘50s (944,391 in 1950, 487,475 in 1951, and 281,278 in 1952).1 This is where an infamous picture comes from, during a game against the Pirates in May: (A lone fan in the stands, 1952)2 Adding to the problem, the team lost $459,009 in 1952 ($4,790,824 in today’s money – it doesn’t sound like much, but overhead was far lower in the ‘40s/’50s).3 Owner Lou Perini, a Boston construction leader, looked to Milwaukee as a solution to the Braves’ financial and attendance woes. The Braves owned the American Association Brewers, so it made a relocation prospect easier (especially after Veeck’s effort to relocate the Browns fell through, thanks to Perini). After selling only 420 season tickets in the lead-up to the 1953 season and negotiating with Fred Miller of Miller Brewing Company, Perini was set on moving to Milwaukee’s new County Stadium. It only required the approval of National League President Warren C. Giles, Commissioner Ford C. Frick, and the National League team owners.4 On March 18, 1953, the National League owners approved the relocation of the Braves. The only real hang-up was moving the Pirates into the “eastern division” of the NL (yes, the league had de-facto divisions then). Reactions in Boston were mostly ones of apathy or shock, with the media slyly observing that not many would miss the Braves.5 In the words of Joseph F. Dinneen Jr. of The Boston Globe: Quote Few fans became emotional over the loss of the franchise, and it was generally accepted that fandom would be satisfied to follow the Red Sox, as had been in recent years anyway, to the chagrin of Braves' owner Lou Perini.6 The 420 season ticket buyers got refunds, Boston University purchased Braves Field (now Nickerson Field and campus PD), and the Milwaukee Braves had a huge rush of season ticket purchases. This move was undoubtedly an upgrade over playing second fiddle to the Red Sox.7 TL;DR: However, what if things had worked out differently? Original post here: Spoiler The Boston Braves have long been one of the more neglected defunct teams, perhaps because they were the first team to move and because one can best characterize their stay in Boston with these two images: Despite a World Series win in 1914, an additional NL pennant in 1948, and several pre-World Series pennants, the team was constantly losing money, losing games (5118-5598, .478 winning percentage), and drawing poorly. With it becoming clear that the team couldn’t stick it out in Boston, they moved to Milwaukee and kickstarted a large wave of relocations. However, what if things had worked out differently? What if the Braves managed to gain stable, wealthy ownership while in Boston? What if they were able to coexist with the Red Sox, or even drive them out eventually (Yawkey probably wouldn’t have gone for it)? Well, let’s see the modern Boston Braves! I figured that the team’s identity would take a similar course to that of the Atlanta Braves, wearing a modernization of their “classic” look. This would be their 1946-52 uniform set. I figured that the team would have worn it as long as they did in our timeline, albeit making some slight adjustments to the 1987 restoration. These would be the creation of a “Boston” script and the retention of the contrast-colored tomahawk. The roundel patch from the current identity returns, bearing the new name and the date 1871, as the Braves’ founding predates the National League. The cursive “B” is a far more prominent symbol for the club now, as it's in both scripts and has far more character than the “Block B.” The uniforms are my standard Braves concept with key adjustments. The road uniform uses the “Boston” script and the caps feature the new “B,” while arched NOB’s give way to an arc. I figured minor differences like that would pop up. The navy alternate is pretty much the same as my previous Braves redesign, while the home alternate is a new construction. I used the 1914 Braves’ “Block B” on the cap and jersey, to tribute both the 1914 “Miracle” Braves and the years in which the team wore a “B” on their home jersey (1907-09, 1913-15, 1921-26, 1937-38, 1940-44). It’s my way of honoring the pre-1946 identities. The dugout jacket is much the same as the Atlanta equivalent, albeit with the new patch. C+C is appreciated, as always! Up next, what if the Boston Bees hadn’t returned to the Braves name, but debuted a new moniker? 1 LeMoine, “Boston Braves Team Ownership History – Society for American Baseball Research,” SABR (blog), September 26, 2020, https://sabr.org/bioproj/topic/boston-braves-team-ownership-history/; Craig Muder, “Braves’ Move to Milwaukee Shook Baseball’s World,” Baseball Hall of Fame, accessed December 4, 2021, https://baseballhall.org/discover/inside-pitch/braves-move-to-milwaukee-shook-baseballs-world; Saul Wisnia, “September 21, 1952: Braves Bid Adieu to Boston in Home Finale – Society for American Baseball Research,” SABR (blog), December 5, 2020, https://sabr.org/gamesproj/game/september-21-1952-braves-bid-adieu-to-boston-in-home-finale/; “Atlanta Braves Attendance, Stadiums, and Park Factors,” Baseball-Reference.com, accessed December 8, 2021, https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/ATL/attend.shtml. 2 Paul J.

coco1997 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Wow, this project ended up being bigger and better than I could have ever imagined! The Boston Braves of course look great, but I'm most looking forward to the alternate takes. Can't wait to see the Bees! The relocation part of the project intrigues me greatly, too. I see you're planning to take on the Tampa Bay White Sox. Might I suggest going with a hunter green and orange color scheme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardsblues02 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 This should be fun! I love MLB history off the field with potential relocation and movement in the discussion. Looks like you came up with some great ideas! Looking forward to this. Boston looks good. There is an issue with the heritage alt helmet. The “B” seems to be missing an outline. Other than that simple fix, looks great. Love the away uniform. Love your concepts because I know you will pump out many without sacrificing quality. Good stuff!

While you won't be getting the Bees, I'm hoping you'll like what I've cooked up here. That color scheme for the Tampa Bay White Sox is a good idea, as I assume they wouldn't have had the "we've finally found our identity" moment they had in 1990. It's also easy to work white into that design, for obvious reasons. Anyway, it's time to shine a light! BOSTON BEACONS, PT. II - Lighting the way to the Bay State When looking at the visual and nickname history of the Boston Braves, one can see a relatively inconsistent identity. While the Braves name was the most consistent (1912-35, 1941-52), they also adopted nicknames like Red Stockings (1876-82), Beaneaters (1883-1906), Doves (1907-10), Rustlers (1911), and Bees (1936-40). The Bees were the longest-lasting replacement for the Braves name, coming about as a result of team president Bob Quinn holding a renaming contest (won by Arthur J. Rockwood). When the Bees name failed to produce a winner, the team-owning syndicate opted to switch the name back to Braves. However, what if things turned out a little differently?1 Instead of going back to the old name, the Boston NL syndicate looked out from Boston University’s campus PD headquarters/Nickerson Field to Boston harbor. While peering into the distance, they found inspiration in the various lighthouses of Boston and New England. They opted to adopt a new name, “Beacons.” It was a two-syllable name that had alliteration with Boston, and in proto-Nike speak, was a symbol of the franchise gaining a guiding light to success. Their design took inspiration from the uniforms worn by the 1929-35 teams, with a logo incorporated into text (which would be a modified Rockwell by the modern day). The team also chose to make Columbia Blue the prominent secondary color (alongside the Bees’ gold color), as it reminded the syndicate of their days on the beach. The uniforms take inspiration from the 1929-35 and 46-52 Braves, using a co-dominance of Navy and Columbia with gold accents. The primary logo occupies the sleeves, while the wordmarks feature the “beacon” above arched text. The cap logo incorporates the beacon into the letter “B.” It may be a bit Rays-ish, but I’d like to think it’s a bit better executed. Rockwell NoB’s appear here, alongside Wilson Varsity numerals. The home/road alternate is a navy version of the home uniform, with no white outlines, as they’d clutter the design. The fauxback alternate is a “Beacon-ized” version of the 1914 Braves’ home uniform, complete with a color-appropriate patch. I added the “block B” to the cap, for an extra flourish. The jacket has a similar design to my Braves jacket, albeit with gold shoulder inserts, the “Boston” wordmark, and the tertiary logo on the back with an “Est. 1871” wordmark. This connects them to the long lineage of the club, predating the National League. Also, I’ve got to give a shoutout to @pcgd and his Beacon Hill of the America League series for inspiring this concept.
