Miami is a great use of the double M. The Mets is a great way of combining both of their wordmarks. Great job!

You squared the Philadelphia circle! Nice. (And I love the double M Marlin).

 

Thanks, guys!

 

We wrap up the series today with the AL Central!

TIGERS:

 

Detroit finally gets a jersey bearing the name "Tigers," courtesy of the team's current wordmark logo. I decided to go all in on orange, as well. 

 

WHITE SOX:

 

The current White Sox wordmark logo feels like an evolution of their previous wordmark logo, so my Sox design combines the team's '80s "beach blanket" style uniforms with their modern colors of black and silver. This was my original idea for the South Siders, but I decided to go in a different direction given its similarity to my Twins design, which you'll see below. 

 

GUARDIANS:

 

My Guardians set combines elements of the early 1900s Cleveland Naps (mono-navy with white scripts) and the 1945-46 Cleveland Buckeyes of the Negro League, with a stacked wordmark and interesting cap design. 

 

ROYALS:

 

I used the Royals' current wordmark on a sleeveless jersey and worked in a bit of metallic gold. 

TWINS:

 

Minnesota's 1961-65 wordmark logo feels like it was just begging to be used on a jersey at some point, and I'm really surprised it never was. I paired the jersey with a new cap design and some era-appropriate pinstriped pants. 

 

And that's a wrap. C&C appreciated and thanks for following along!

Cleveland looks a little plain and bland, but the others look great.

Funny you should say that because Cleveland was my favorite of the division.

Oh well, everyone has their own tastes.
