Coiler Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Love the Padres design (both the actual Connect and yours) and the colors are perfect for a Miami team, so I love the Marlins in those colors even more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 I'm back with my first City Connect tweak of 2023! BRAVES: Notes: - The Braves' newly-unveiled City Connect uniforms are fine but admittedly, a bit uninspired. As I mentioned in another thread, they're less of a tribute to the city of Atlanta and more of a tribute to the history of the Braves, which in my opinion kind of misses the point of the City Connect program. - For my tweak, I went with a Georgia peach color scheme, replacing royal blue and red with a peachy shade of orange and leafy green. And now that the Braves' off-white alternates have sadly been retired, this felt like a perfect opportunity to bring back that look (think peaches & cream). C&C appreciated! 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony of posting Atlanta's concept on 3/28 lol But yes this looks pretty sweet and going for a peachy look is pretty plausible if they weren't going for the 70s look 1 Quote trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either one works 1 Quote Im an isles,rangers,devils,Sabres,Yankees,Mets,Braves,hawks,knicks,nets,bills,giants,falcons,and jets fan. So? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coiler Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Looks peachy! (Couldn't resist ) Seriously, I've kind of wanted to see the Braves in a peach color scheme, and this is a beautifully done example of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coco1997 Posted April 13, 2023 Author Share Posted April 13, 2023 Idea for a Braves fauxback: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 Up today are the Rangers! Notes: - I really like what Texas did so no major changes, the biggest being swapping the "TX" and numbers on the front of the jersey. Placing the logo on the right breast seems like a case of being different just for the sake of it, but the end result looks awkward. - The new set is allegedly "pitch blue" but looks black to me, so I just went black. - I added some red to the top of the socks to create some much-needed visual separation from the pants. - Lastly, red trim is applied to the cap logo. And here are a few variations I worked up: First up, for those who aren't big on dark pants with light colored jerseys, here's an inverted version: Next, I wanted to try a monochrome black look: And since the Rangers have sadly retired their red alternates this season, a red version: Note: I had to add outlines to the logos and numbers for this one, since the black did not pop enough against the red. Lastly, I was curious how the set would look in the Rangers' usual colors: C&C appreciated! 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMilkman Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Huge fan of the red jersey. The white on blue looks good too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victormrey Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I love what you've done for the Rangers! Since the team is the Texas Rangers, and these releases focus on clubs' cities/states, I think swapping the dark grey for blue really improves the concept. Not sure if someone has commented this before, but props for recreating the actual unis! It offers a better way to compare the real deal with your tweaks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnkej Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Great improvements on Texas! The red jersey variation might be the best one of the bunch. Just an idea - any chance you could make a variation using a "Texas Ranger" sort of motif? (Like the star from their old logo). When I heard they were making a City Connect, I was hoping they might incorporate something like that. Even just as an accent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want one of the Rangers' regular scripts or logos incorporated into the City Connect design somehow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dig these, and you've improved them from the actual versions by swapping the number and logo around on the shirts. I was wondering how these might look with sleeveless jerseys (with the cuff trim moved to the arm opening) and a red brimmed hat for the red jerseyed uniform. Also wondering how they would look with a headspoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm simply asking if you thought about using this star in your design at all? I think it would really fit the vibe for a City Connect set for the Rangers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a simplified version of that logo for the jersey crest, like an actual badge? 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
