It was tough balancing black, red, royal blue and light blue, and I'm not sure how successful I was, so let me know what you think. The Blue Jays are next!

Carolingian Steamroller Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 The BFBS Rangers balances those colors at least well as the actual Rangers did... Very cool looking sleeve patch on the early alternates. I didn't know Texas used those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUE JAYS HOME/ROAD ALT (1977-88) BLUE JAYS CANADA DAY ALT (1977-88) BLUE JAYS HOME ALT (2004-11) BLUE JAYS BLACK ALT (2012-Present) It blows my mind that for eight seasons a team called the Blue Jays didn't wear an actual blue jersey, so I've rectified that. Also, I decided to give the current Blue Jays set a black alt as a nod to their previous look. I think it works. The Nationals/Senators are next, followed by the '90s expansion teams.

Not much you can do with the Rockies since they've used the same colors their entire existence and worn both purple and black alternates. Having said that, when Coors Field hosted the All-Star Game in 1998, the logo inexplicably added green to the Rockies' purple and black, and the NL team wore green BP jerseys. So how about a one-off green alternate for the 1998 season? ROCKIES HOME ALT (1998) On 8/13/2020 at 11:52 PM, TrueYankee26 said: The copper D-backs... whoa those look amazing Thanks!

Here's an an alt from a year I missed previously: INDIANS ROAD ALT (1974) All right, let's move onto some weird and wild ideas! Some of these are inspired by teams' tertiary colors, such as the Angels' halo yellow or Giants' old gold. I think you'll see what I mean as you scroll down below. NOTE: Many of these designs aren't ones I necessarily would have wanted to see on the field, but instead ones I think theoretically could have happened. ANGELS HOME ALT (1971-72) BREWERS HOME ALT (1994-99) CARDINALS HOME ALT (1990s-Present) How about the Cubs in red... CUBS HOME ALT (1970s-80s) CUBS HOME ALT (1990s-2000s) ...and the Dodgers in red? DODGERS HOME ALT (1990s-2000s) GIANTS HOME ALT (2000-Present) What's one more alt for the Marlins, this one using the bright yellow from their logo? As @the admiral says, the Marlins need more colors, not fewer. MARLINS HOME ALT (2012-18) MARLINS HOME ALT (2019-Present) The Padres using the powdery sky blue from their 2004-11 primary and wordmark logo: PADRES HOME ALT (2004-11) And a modern Phillies alt with a bit more blue: PHILLIES HOME ALT (1990s-2000s) ROYALS HOME ALT (1969-72) In 2015 the Twins (unnecessarily) injected Kasota gold into their identity, so why not commit to it with a gold alt? TWINS HOME ALT (2015-Present) And lastly (for now), when my White Sox adopted a dramatic redesign at the end of the 1990 season, they boasted black and silver as their new colors. I hope I did enough to make this one distinct enough from their road jersey. WHITE SOX HOME ALT (1990-Present) That's all for now! Let me know what works and what doesn't. If anyone has any requests or ideas for alts I haven't already thought of, don't hesitate to ask and I'll happily mock-up your suggestions.

Today we move on to a slightly different idea. What if a few other MLB teams got in on the monochrome action in the '70s? Well, wonder no longer: ASTROS: BLUE JAYS: CARDINALS: DODGERS: GIANTS: MARINERS: PADRES: REDS: ROYALS: TIGERS: C&C appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coors Field ushers wore forest green jackets in the 90s (and maybe still do). For fans that have been to many games at Coors, green jerseys would not be weird (especially in a stadium anniversary year like 2020 (theoretically) or 2025. Your concept looks great.

Post your portfolio at Nike, fix some of that mediocrity that company churning out. Thank you! Today we start a new leg of this project, an alternate history in which powder blue road uniforms came and never went away, starting in the mid '60s, when the White Sox kicked off the trend in 1964. I'll be doing alphabetically with multiple teams in each post, so today we have the Diamondbacks and Braves: DIAMONDBACKS ROAD (1998-2006) DIAMONDBACKS ROAD (2007-15) DIAMONDBACKS ROAD (2016-Present) BRAVES ROAD (1966-71) BRAVES ROAD (1972-75) BRAVES ROAD (1987-Present) C&C appreciated! The Orioles and Red Sox will be next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
