johne9109 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Don't know if this has been done before, but I thought it'd be cool to take the teams of the MLB and show what they'd look like as NBA teams.

johne9109 Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 Arizona Diamondbacks I personally prefer the original colors of the Diamondbacks. I think it helped them stand out so much more. I also think they are colors more in line with what the NBA usually has as color schemes. The collar and sleeves also get the diamondback texture from the logo Home Away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDTrey4 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Really solid start to what sounds like a great idea. Only thing I would say needs adjusting is the size of the number. It could probably be about 80% of the current size and fit a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johne9109 Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 Atlanta Braves For the Braves I used the wordmark with the tomahawk. The font is iconic and synonymous with Atlanta and I know the tomahawk may not be considered Kosher anymore, but I think it gives the jersey some personality. I tried something different with the away jersey and brought the yellow gold in the tomahawk into more of the forefront by making it a secondary color Home Away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky1324 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 The Braves look nice, I like the use of gold on the road. The Diamondbacks aren't as good, the teal does not work well on purple and I'd suggest switching around the coloring of the wordmark to make it legible. Another suggestion is to switch the wordmarks on the home and road, as usually the city/state name goes on the road while the nickname is used at home. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 Baltimore Orioles The Orioles are pretty straight forward. My favorite part is the addition of the Maryland state flag to the sides of the jersey. I've always liked how the Orioles included a patch on their sleeves with the flag so I knew I needed to add it onto this jersey Home Away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I've got a few others that I've already made with the cities on the home and vice versa, but I'll make the change going forward. Should start with the White Sox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 Boston Red Sox The Red Sox are kind of like the Celtics in the way that there's not a whole lot you can do with their uniforms without causing a stir; case in point the divisive City Connection uniform. So I went with a white and red home and a full red away; replicating their red alternate jersey Home Away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDTrey4 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I think black for the O's road would work better. It would let the bird and wordmark pop much more. They both get kind of lost as it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might go back when I'm done and do alternate/statement editions and I'm saving black for that if I do, but I get what you're saying with it getting lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 Chicago Cubs Another straightforward set. I took the CUBS round logo and modified it to look more like a wordmark. Home Away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 Chicago White Sox This is the first set where cities get swapped to away jerseys and team names go onto the home jerseys. The SOX wordmark that the White Sox use creates a unique design as well as a nice script for the away Home Away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 Cincinnati Reds The logo is used for the home jersey as it's less like a logo and more like a wordmark. Away jersey is pretty straight forward Home Away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 Cleveland Indians With Cleveland changing their name at the end of this season I decided to put Cleveland on both jerseys until they debut their new name. Hopefully they find a more tasteful way to keep a similar branding i.e. the Chicago Blackhawks. I did put a feather on the sides of the jersey to have a little bit of visual identity.

johne9109 Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Colorado Rockies The rockies have a well designed logo that I felt worked well on the front of a jersey so I used it for both instead of going with two different wordmarks. I also went with grey for the away jersey as I felt it fit the mountain aesthetic Home Away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Detroit Tigers I had to do something with tiger stripes. The away is a bit much, but I like it Home Away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 Houston Astros I had to go with the rainbow design right? I think this transferred very well to the basketball jersey Home Away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 Kansas City Royals Another one that I think transferred pretty well. I love the gold they added after their World Series win so I made that a prominent fixture here. Also, the numbers in the logo add a unique twist Home Away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
