Paul Lucas Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Heading to “The North,” it’s the Blue Jays paying homage to the 1952 Toronto Maple Leafs (road) And the amazing Toronto Flag concept by Trevor Davson Toronto’s New Flag - By Filament - Medium Voilà, the Blue Jays and their ‘Statement’ jersey: C&C always appreciated. (as I did last time, a big ‘thank you’ goes to @Discrimihater for being so gracious in letting me use his awesome ‘Toronto’ script wordmark. I find any excuse to use it, thanks!)

Victormrey Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 The Blue Jays uni looks excellent! I like the contrast between the classy wordmark and the modern approach with the gradient, the mapple leaf and the CN Tower. Overall it looks really Nike-ish, good job.

coco1997 Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 I love the subtle blue gradient on the uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolingian Steamroller Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 BALTIMORE ORIOLES This draws heavily on the later Cal Ripken Jr era in Baltimore. I remember loving some of the early black alternate jerseys in that era with the big outlines so this is meant to evoke that. I'm always a fan of going monochrome instead of wearing a softball top so I went with black pants. To balance out the look we have orange undersleeves, an orange front cap panel, and color reversed classic socks. C&C as always! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victormrey Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Time for the Yankees! The Yankees are one of the most difficult teams to approach to when it comes to special edition designs such as this Statement Series. They’ve been using almost the same design for more than a hundred years, and it has become the most iconic and distinct look in baseball; their fans love it and their rivals fear it. This design tradition is probably the main reason why the Bronx Bombers remain one of the few teams without alternate jerseys. Nonetheless, in 1996 the team found an alternative, going for a 1934 throwback Black Yankees design. That is why I have decided to bring back that iconic look, with the "Yankees" wordmark on the front, a navy blue melange pattern, and simple white piping, as well as a navy cap with white soutache.

coco1997 Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 Wow! This design manages to feel both classic and modern at the same time. I love that vintage style "YANKEES" script, and it's always great to see a design pay tribute to the Negro Leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJD7 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Next, we have the rival Red Sox: We decided to keep things fairly simple for this design. We figured the biggest statement the Red Sox could make would be by having their "hanging socks" logo be the most prominent aspect of the set, accompanied with the 1970's throwback socks to stand out from their everyday all-red look. The striping of the jersey is intended to match these socks, with the main inspiration coming from @SFGiants58’s navy alternate look. We'd love to hear your thoughts!

coco1997 Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 We've now reached the midway point of this series, so let's start with the new division and a new team, the San Diego Padres! Funny story...Months ago I came up with a completely different design for San Diego, one that actually wound up looking pretty similar to the Padres new uniforms. After the team's dramatic new look was unveiled earlier this month, I knew I had to go in another direction, and what I came up with is essentially a modernization of the Padres' 1978 home and road alternate, bringing back the "Taco Bell" cap design and emphasizing gold over brown. C&C appreciated! As a bonus, I've made yet another tweak to my Rays design, and this one I can finally say with confidence I'm happy with. Even though the Rays' hunter green look was my personal favorite of theirs, I had to accept that the Rays would probably not pay homage to the worst period in team history, so I decided instead to play up the teams' two current secondary colors of sky blue and yellow, using navy only as a trim color. Let me know what you think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victormrey Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Nice work for the Padres! The uni works great as a throwback design, and at the same time it fits the recently unveiled set. I like the new idea for the Rays, I think the use of Columbia Blue is a nice addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilSox Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 The gradient on the numbers should go top to bottom. Otherwise you'd need potentially three different versions of each number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gradient also starts with purple and ends with light green, which works better, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would it look in a purple/blue instead of yellow maybe something like Pantone 2735 Chttps://www.pantone.com/color-finder/2735-C?utm_source=pantone_app&utm_source=web_app&utm_campaign=pantone_app_campaign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Lucas Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Moving up 5,280 feet up to Denver, it’s the Rockies sporting a look embraces their (A) unique color as the only purple MLB team [though I wish the D-Bags would switch to the new Hornets colors plus copper or something] (B) love of sleeveless alts (C) state flag logo cap (D) nod to a look that the Nuggets are still trying to get right. It’s the Colorado Rockies: C&C appreciated, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolingian Steamroller Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Continuing with a theme of blending eras while keeping an eye on the current aesthetics, for the Giants we've blended the current wordmarks (minus the unnecessary gold), the current road uniform (which is really a take on the '80s design), and the 1932 "Moonlight Graham" look. The Statement design is snow white instead of cream and uses orange scripts and black soutache both for the jersey and the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victormrey Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Moving to Arizona! When it comes to the Diamondbacks, there's no easy path. Even after Nike's takeover and the unveiling of their new and tweaked uniforms, the team still has a problem: they can't descide between sand or teal as tertiary colour. But, given the club's original look, and Nike's current design trends, I have decided to go for the first. The DBacks design features the "New Orchid" purple shade, using teal for the details and logos, as a modern tribute to the team's roots and their 2001 World Series.
