It's come to my attention that out of the 3 people who only post baseball stuff (Looking at you @coco1997 and @Carolingian Steamroller), the titular character of this series seems to be the one everyone gushes over. For example, this is my personal belief of what would happen if all of us were to meet up: Spoiler Anyways...... Because I'm petty, I would like to say I'm going to be the best proverbial Mario Kart ghost by making POUND FOR POUND the best concepts this board has EVER seen! Believe me, folks, when I say it's gonna be the best, its going to be the BEST. Okay, maybe not. I'm not all that put together and I think I just gonna do this in the laziest way possible, but I'm not sure yet. I'm going to try really hard to make this better than everything else I've done before. Also some notes before we jump in: I WILL NOT do a part 2 like @SFGiants58 did, as I just don't want to. I WILL NOT change the divisions or add teams like @SFGiants58 did, as I just don't want to. (This one I may change, as I think Montreal could get the h-town treatment) I WILL make fun of people. I think. Maybe. I'm afraid I'll be mean and get banned for a week I WILL be going out of order, as I have some stuff already saved. I WILL finish this series if this is the last thing I do. and lastly, I MAY add in depth analysis for why I made my concepts the way I did. AND WE'RE OFF!

Htown1141 Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 Houston Astros The 'A' thing is a tribute to the NASA logo's red thing. For the colors, I felt like the whole set needed some sort of facelift to incorporate red and yellow into the scheme further. I also had original plans for the home and away uniforms to mimic the '89 to '93 sets, but I felt like the sleeve stripes were enough to bring the red and yellow into the scheme without them overpowering the orange elsewhere in the set. Also, fun fact about the 89 to 93 away uniforms: They were actually used starting in 1980, and the tequila sunrise uniforms were only the home uniforms from '80 to '85. I would like to thank the guys in the authentic shop at Minute Maid for alerting me to that little secret. Also also, @CC97, idk if you care, but that may be something that would be good to verify and maybe update. I'm not sure. Navy and orange on gray looks like a melancholic face, so Houston will have no gray uniform Sorry I didn't use the actual Tequila Sunrise, I just love patterns Oh, and just to get this extra thing out of the way, yes I will put the swoosh on the front of the jersey, in the expected instance that Nike becomes the official MLB uniform supplier. I don't necessarily like it there, either, and I won't put it on throwback uniforms, because unlike SOME PEOPLE, I respect uniforms and the concept of authenticity. I have a dribbble!

tigers Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Yes, the A is very Treky. The colors are what makes my heart skip a beat..... for the better. Orange should be jam. Logano wins BOWL before Chargers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Well, imitation is definitely the sincerest form of flattery. While chasing @SFGiants58 is a futile endeavor, I have to admit this is a really nice Astros concept. You have my attention, and I look forward to following along. EDIT: A few suggestions: Add white outlines to the wordmark and numbers on the orange alt for consistency with the other jerseys and use the sleeve patch you used on the home and road (the primary logo with the sunrise colors).

HyamesField Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 This is really fun. I always wondered why more people didn't make the Astros into more space-y type stuff. That blue jersey is really awesome. Looking forward to the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually had a version similar to what you suggested, but scrapped it early on. I wanted to add more white, but the whole idea was to just emphasize the orange to an extreme extent and adding a white outline would mean you would need to add white everywhere else to keep it balanced.

vtgco Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I'd be curious to see two other versions of the Tequila Sunrise jersey: One with a white star (makes more sense than a navy blue star) One with your sans serif H over the cap logo star, to make it a slightly more authentic fauxback... And maybe a gray away jersey with only orange (no navy trim) would work? Regardless of my suggestions, everything already looks really amazing! I love the font; it's perfect for the Astros!

Htown1141 Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 San Diego Padres When working on my San Diego logo project last year, as well as over time on the boards, I've grown accustomed to the consistent bickering about the colors of the team and which era to pull from for a concept. My original idea was to blow up the identity once again and disregard every previous period in Padres history, because that would actually just so happen to fit in to their history, but ultimately I ended up with recreating (or creating something similar to) their current wordmark for a few reasons. Firstly, I like it (duh), and second, it fits relatively well with their current iteration of their interlocking SD logo. I wanted something that would appeal to everyone by creating a clean, but not too clean look that can hopefully satisfy all of the color combinations your heart could desire. For the home and away sets, I wanted to stay traditional and made sure to reference the padres uniform history to see if there was anything that I could pull for my own purposes (someone put this together, I think I found it from someone's signature here on the boards, but this database should exist for all major league teams. Period.) It's simple, but still has its own flair to it that makes it scream "Padres" in my eyes. i primarily based these off of the 74-77 home designs, the striping anyways, but inverted the brown and gold to more accurately reflect the importance of each color. For the alternates, I decided the best way to appeal to the lowest common denominator I mean normies I mean :censored:ing dumbasses I mean those with different opinions than me was to avoid my favorite scheme for the padres (2016's blue and gold) and go for the brown/orange/yellow scheme used in the home run derby for the home alternate, and blue/orange scheme of the Tony Gwynn era for the away alternate. As much as I hate to admit it, they turned out kinda nice actually, and I'm almost sorta proud of myself for making this work. I never wanted to go for the full throwback on these jerseys, as I just couldn't help myself with this gorgeous typeface I will brag about for the rest of my life, but I felt that I captured the essence of the eras they were based off. Also, for the sleeve patches, they're meant to not have the words. Essentially, it's a partial logo that I didn't feel like putting into the logosheet. I have a dribbble! Thank you jaha32!
