A recap of what we've seen so far, in my own words:

 

Rangers/Spurs: 

What a way to introduce the series, a long beloved color scheme from the Spurs logo and reimagined on a baseball template came out great. At times, I find it hard to make out the tea when it's on the grey elements, but overall, this is fantastic. Of the alternates, I enjoy the Teal one the most.

 

Dodgers/Lakers:

It's funny coming back to this after having seen the article that recalls a time the Dodgers considered sifting from blue to purple during the 90s. Purple & Yellow is always aesthetically pleasing, and it's no different here.

 

Cubs/Bears:

Not much of a departure, in terms of how close the scheme is to its current colors, they'd just have a problem with being close to looking like Detroit. And, seeing the wordmark in Bears colors on the Road jersey really ties the crossover theme together. Overall, these are what you expect out of two Chicago brands in collaboration.

 

Twins/Wild:

This stands out as the first set that I wouldn't mind seeing come to fruition. The Wild's scheme lends itself to be unique across most leagues, and I think it nestles itself comfortably in the realm of baseball. As a thought, I'd flip the colors of the wordmark on the Road jersey to being, primarily, red.

 

Marlins/Heat (Vice):

Excellent execution, no other words needed, because it's spoken for.

 

Cleveland/Cavaliers:

In a way, I feel you've redeemed this color scheme, because the Cavs have not applied it in the best fashion. The color used for the Home set pairs well with the wine, and overall, I enjoy seeing this scheme applied to baseball. I'd just swap the socks in between your alternates.

 

Diamondbacks/Suns:

In this set, I would keep the shade of purple from the first set, and demote the use of the lighter shade of orange to be used for the alternates. I'd be interested in seeing the cuff trim on the alternates be duplicated onto the socks as a striping pattern.

 

Braves/Hawks:

I like that you went the route of the Hawks' previous scheme, as it would be very outside the ballpark, but I think it works with how you pulled it off. I'd inverse the prominence of Volt and Red on the script used on the Home jersey. I feel the same about the Road script between Black and Red. The 2nd Home Alt, easily my favorite of this set.

 

Phillies/Eagles:

For me, this is the first jarring set. Not for any bad reason, the color scheme works for the set, but seeing it for the Phillies is what gets me, despite having a brief history in green. I'd like to see this set void of black and have silver replace it in the color hierarchy.

 

Rays/Buccaneers:

Overall, I like it, but I would say try a bit more vibrant shade of red. I think with that adjustment, it'll keep the current concept intact, and it would allow them to look a little different from VT. (Have you entertained the idea of doing the Bucs current colors on this Rays set? I think Pewter road uniforms would be interesting.)

 

Angels/Mighty Ducks:

Nice application of the famed Jade/Eggplant plus Yellow. There's not much about this attempt from you that I would change.

 

Nationals/Wizards/Capitols:

Nice to see an underused color like Copper be used. On the tweaked version, I want to say I want to see a tad more copper on the Home and Road, but I can't say where exactly I would put it to make it make sense. Looking at the Road alternate makes me wonder what if it just utilized Black, Copper, and White.

 

Brewers/Bucks:

I truly believe this is an excellent pairing, the 90s scheme of the Bucks with this particular identity from the Brewers. I think, in a vacuum, thinking of the Bucks set that came with this scheme, it makes for a nice callback to it. If the Brewers didn't already have a strong uniform history, this concept would make a case to be deserving enough to belong in it in reality.

 

Red Sox/Celtics:

Looks as you'd expect when swapping Navy for Green. Nice job with these, and I dig the striping for the socks.

 

Mariners/Kraken:

You've done a great job wit applying this color scheme to this set, but I'm not quite feeling the lighter shade of blue/teal that the Kraken have. Especially looking at the Home set, it doesn't feel strong when it sits next to the color white. Kind of like when the Dolphins made the transition to their first Nike set.

 

Rockies/Avalanche:

It's a good pairing between these two in-state identities. I just feel like the maroon could be darkened just a tad.

 

Cardinals/Blues:

It's just a joy how the colors pop the way they do on the Home Alternate. Overall, a pretty good translation of the Blues colors onto the Cardinals.

 

Astros/Oilers:

Probably one of my overall favorites of the series. The "Luv Ya" shade of blue fits right into the history of this type of blue in baseball, and it works here, without question. I would suggest doing a white panel cap as an alternate cap. Maybe down the line, this set sees a Red alternate jersey.

 

Rangers/Stars:

I think Dallas' scheme works terrifically for the Rangers. You did a great job of balancing the colors the way you have them set in the first attempt. They even look good in Olive Green, but I prefer the first rendition. The Gold Home Alt, I'll reserve judgment on, just because gold has a weird way of resulting when in motion. (Thinking like the Ravens pants; I still hate they ever produced them, let alone wore them.)

 

Yankees in Maroon:

Looks good. It's not much different from any other team you've seen in this scheme, but it's obviously jarring to see the Yankees in anything other tan what they've existed in. But, I like it.

 

Dodgers/Chargers:

As you stated, very reminiscent of UCLA, but it looks damn good, especially the Home Alternate. Would look amazing during a daytime Dodger Stadium game.

 

Rockies/Nuggets:

Very simple, and the pinstripes of the Rockies help differentiate themselves from Cleveland.

 

Angels/Lakers:

Very nice set, akin to LSU in some aspects. I have no complaints about what I'm seeing with this one.

 

Giants/Forty-Niners:

Hmm, how would a gold cap/red bill look as their primary cap in this set? Otherwise, the rest of this set is very clean.

 

Mariners/Seahawks:

Another excellent pairing. Even down to the sock striping, this is an instant hit.

 

Cleveland/Browns:

Another instant success. The color scheme applies flawlessly to the set and is really set with the sock pattern.

 

Brewers/Packers:

At first glance, these colors always draw you to think "A's," but you've done well curating this for Milwaukee, giving them a look that's distinguished enough to not be them, and yet still look like the Brewers.

 

Athletics/Raiders:

Pretty straightforward, I appreciate that they kept the white cleats, and the Elephant logo featured on the sleeve is a nice touch.

 

Marlins/Dolphins:

Fantastic, honestly. The colors really allow the uniform to come alive, so to speak.

 

Padres/Chargers:

This turned out pretty solid. I'd probably do white numerals on the back of the Home alternate, with a single white outline around them.

 

Senators/WFT:

This is gorgeous. No complaints out of this, everything is in proper place, the colors work well together. Excellent.

 

Tigers/Lions:

Very nice, the colors of the Lions bring a cool, crisp look to the set. Plays well into the simplicity of it all.

 

Mets/Jets:

I actually like this for the Mets. Rhyming team nicknames, and sharing a color scheme is pretty interesting. And in this scheme, the green and white lend themselves as better supporting colors on a black Alternate, as opposed to the Orange & Blue. All in all, very clean, and nice to see that New York script be featured on the Road jerseys.

Here's the Rays with a bit lighter shade of red and a solid pewter road set. I couldn't make the red too bright, as there still need to be some contrast with the orange.

I added a bit more copper to the home (cap and jersey logo and back numbers) and road (piping and script & number trim) sets. The black road alt without blue doesn't look half bad:

I actually considered giving the Astros a white front paneled cap. Not sure why I didn't follow through with the idea. I didn't give them a red alternate originally because red was only used as a trim color for the Oilers, but here it is anyway:

The Chicago Cardinals played at Comiskey Park throughout the 1920s and again from 1940-58 before relocating to St. Louis in 1960. This set is based on the White Sox early 1940s zippered design. The maroon and tan color scheme may not scream "Chicago" as loudly as black & red or sky blue and red, but there is a local connection to the University of Chicago
 

C&C appreciated! A small surprise is next.

The Miami Marlins in Dolphins colors is fantastic. Great color scheme and it looks great with the old template

 

The Rockies/Av's crossover look really good too. The avs color scheme would stand out and look better than the black and purple.

 

The Nationals in the old Wizards/Caps colors looks really good. I always really liked that scheme but I have a hard time arguing for it's use over red white and blue

Love the Cardinals/Sox design!

The connection to U of C is really interesting given that the Cardinals are the Cardinals because they wore faded U of C Maroons jerseys.

 

It's also nice to have an all South Side set with U of C being located in the lovely Hyde Park neighborhood on South Lakeshore Drive.

 

Looking at it now, I'd be tempted to use a wishbone "C" on the cap, even though its not accurate to that era just to cement the connection since the Cardinals used to use one and the Maroons continue to feature it.

With the recent revelation that the Los Angeles Dodgers may have considered switching from blue to purple in the '90s, and, inspired by @jwinters' suggestion, here are the Dodgers in late '90s-early 2000s L.A. Kings colors. I decided to lean hard into the late '90s aesthetic, which means lots of busy piping, black and silver and, of course, vest uniforms. The basic design of the home and road uniforms is based on this one season alternate from 1999. 

 

C&C appreciated! The Athletics x Chiefs are next up.

Everyone knows that the Rockies play at Coors Field, but some may forget that for the first two years of their existence they shared Mile High Stadium with the Denver Broncos. Unlike my previous two Rockies designs, this one uses simplified scripts (no inserts) and single outlined numbers. I also added pinstripes on the road to separate this design from the Mets' road uniform.

I went with an era appropriate pullover/sansabelt design and tried something different by going with gold scripts and numbers on both the home and road sets.

The relocated Braves and expansion Atlanta Falcons played at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium starting in 1966 through 1991. I've done the Braves in black and red before, so I changed a few things this time around, namely simplified piping and a new cap design for the home set. The colors have another local connection to the Hawks and University of Georgia Bulldogs. It's a fun to imagine an alternate history where the Braves moved from Milwaukee to Atlanta and tweaked their colors.

Since I've done the Mariners x Seahawks before, this one doesn't require a ton of explanation. @Carolingian Steamroller did on excellent job on the current Mariners uniforms in modern Seahawks colors a few years back, so I decided to apply the 'Hawks navy and volt green to the Mariners' '70s look, though with more modern piping than my first version. 

 

Let me know what you think. The Yankees are up next!
