MilSox Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I cant say that isn't a Brewers jersey that I wouldn't consider buying. Well done. Twins look surprisingly good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johne9109 Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 New York Mets I always loved the Mets black jersey; a lot of that had to do with Mike Piazza being one of my favorite players and I always closely associated the two. So I took that and made some changes to make it stand out from past black jerseys and the rest of the current uniforms. The Mets have used every combination of Mets and New York wordmarks so I decided to use the skyline logo. everything else is pretty straight forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coiler Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 For me, the term "Color Rush" implies more out-there colors, and the Mets could always use their original proposed pink/black or the purple plaid of the 1916 Giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've brought forward some underused colors, but color rush was just color vs. color and the teams would wear their team colors head to toe; at least by the NFL standards. Who knows; if the MLB did something similar they may do more non traditional colors, but I chose to stay within the same theming as when it was done with the NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 Oakland A's I went full Elephant on this one. I made the Elephant logo main element on the front of the jersey as well as bringing back the '90's cap logo. I also brought in grey as a regular color just to bring it all together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 Philadelphia Phillies For the Phillies I did an inverse of their pinstripes as well while bringing in some more blue. I also did a pullover jersey inorder to use the Phillies wordmark with the Liberty Bell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johne9109 Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 Pittsburgh Pirates The Pirates get a combination of a couple uniforms here. First they get their retro sleeveless jersey as well going for a majority yellow look. I tried to put the stripes on the hat to complete the retro look, but I couldn't get it to look right.

Kelly Green instead of Forest Green. I'm thinking maybe a maroon hat with the baby blue P would look a little better for the Phillies too. I really like the Pirates one too. The pillbox hat with the horizontal pinstripes would really top it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coco1997 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Mets - The solid black is a nice surprise given that I expected you to do monochrome blue or orange. My one suggestion would be to put the drop shadowed "NY" on the chest instead of the Mets primary logo. I like the skyline logo but I think it's just too detailed to work on the front of a jersey. Phillies - You know, I actually kind of like your first version! However, I think to make it work the "Phillies" script needs to be white. Can we see how that would look? The maroon version is excellent but I think there needs to be maroon somewhere on the cap. Maybe the bill? Or make the cap logo maroon with a white outline? Either one would probably work. A's - I too would like to see this one in monochrome Kelly green. Also, I'm not sold on the standing elephant on the front of the jersey. Again, much like the Mets primary logo, I think it's just too busy a logo to work effectively on the front of a uniform. How about the Old English "O" from their Mother's Day cap? That would probably look good on a solid forest green design. Pirates - Looks great! I agree with @MDTrey4 that it would be fun to see the uniform with a pillbox cap.

johne9109 Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 Mets I swapped the logos on the jersey. I will say it's a cleaner look, but it definitely overuses the NY logo. Still looks solid Phillies So the reason I had a powder blue hat and logo with the maroon uniform is because the original powder blue uniform had a maroon hat and logo. I did change the logo on my original attempt and I will say I think that's the best Athletics I took everyone's feed back on the A's and rolled it into one. I still kept the Elephants, but their just on the hat and sleeve now. I changed to Kelly green and put the O logo on the jersey. I can't say I like this more, but it is just as viable an option. Either would be great choices in my eyes Pirates Hard as I tried I could not replicate the pill box hat so I gave up and threw in an actual picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 San Diego Padres Ok so hear me out on this one. I love the current color set for the Padres, but to do a brown seem liked a rehash of their current uniform and I didn't want another yellow uniform in the series; Brewers and Pirates is more than enough. I could do a throwback to an older version of their brown uniforms, but again it just seemed lazy to me. So instead I added to their military uniforms. They currently have two camo jerseys to honor the armed forces, but also more directly paying homage to the Marine Corps with the camo patterns they use. As a veteran I love that the Padres do this and have done it for as long as they have. As a Navy veteran I always feel our uniforms are under represented. So I took their one season Navy Working Uniform camo and made it a whole uniform. I know the Navy doesn't wear the NWU's anymore, but it was a great look and what else are you really gonna do? With Naval Station San Diego there I don't see how they haven't honored the Navy more. I kept the numbers and lettering on the jersey blue the same way it was on the original jersey. The black belt and socks are nods to the belt and socks/boots that we would wear with the uniform. I almost did the hat in camo as well as another nod to the actual uniform, but that felt like over kill so I kept it navy blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WLD42 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 As a "neutral observer" with no real knowledge of the Padres' history nor a fan's opinion of what the team "should" be wearing, the blue camo looks good to me! A brief look into the Padres' branding history (just on the Sportslogos.net mothership) certainly makes it appear that the camo was a significant part of their branding, not just some occasional alternate. I would suggest white lettering and numbering just for the practicality of being able to read it during game action; the white stroke isn't enough to keep it from disappearing into the blue jersey.

coco1997 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Mets update - I don't think it overuses the "NY" logo. Lots of alternates use the cap logo on the front of the jersey. Looks great! Phillies update - Oof, the white script doesn't look as good as I imagined. Maybe try blue instead? I might just be grasping at straws here. A's update - Looks fantastic! I think this design would work great in forest green, too. Either way would work. Padres - I never liked the digital camo look but you achieved what you set out to do. I agree with @WLD42 that the scripts and numbers should be white for legibility purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coiler Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 The blue camo for the Padres looks good, fits with being a major naval city. The Phillies one I love as well, it looks extravagant in a way that suits the "out-there" nature of the color rush jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
