Victormrey Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 After listening to Todd Radom's "Phantom Franchise" section of the ESPN Baseball Tonight podcast from May 4th, I tried to depict how the New York Reds' uniform set would look like nowadays. For the main home and road designs I decided to keep the pinstripes + sleeveless jerseys combo, possibly the Reds' most iconic look, using black pins for the road uni: While both alts feature regular jerseys with placket and sleeve piping: I decided to keep Mets' monogram and current road wordmark, since I think they create a cohesive look with the Reds' style. As for the sleeve patch, I edited the 1999-06 Mr. Redlegs logo version to match the home uniform. Regarding the numbers, I went for a font which looks similar to Mets road wordmark. Huge thanks to @coco1997, @Carolingian Steamroller, and @Paul Lucas for helping me out throught the whole creative process! As usual, feedback is more than welcome! 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coco1997 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 To echo what others have said, it's amazing how well the Reds and Mets identities mesh together. A few details I especially love: - The mustachioed running Mr. Redlegs looks wonderful - Great job matching the numbers style to the Tuscan "New York" script. I actually wouldn't mind if the real life Mets did something like this. - Modifying the "Reds" script to add an outline to go along with the drop shadow makes it consistent with the numbers and "New York" script on the road. Fantastic job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsmb8 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Those red and black alternates should become real Reds alternates. I know everyone says the Reds should have ONLY red and white, but this makes as well a case as ever for black to be included. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Lucas Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Love it! Would also make for a really cool red vs. blue (in a good way) Subway Series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
