MLB Cathedral Connect Series (Expos 5/10)

[Discrim]

They gotta bring back Bernie's lederhosen...it's bad enough there's no more giant beer mug for him to slide into.

My general distaste for uniforms that are predominantly not a team color aside, I'm loving these! They actually look like softball uniforms, which works for a place like Milwaukee.

 

As far as how to incorporate the scoreboard... a sleeve patch of this guy should suffice. Every Brewers fan from the County Stadium era knows the two-fisted slopper!

I actually prefer the yellow. The white dots in the brown make it a bit hard to read, imo. This looks more like the light up script from the barrel as well.

Yeah, the more I look at it, the more I tend to agree. It also helps that the white dots kind of look like bubbles floating in beer.

Here you go!

 

Next up are the Diamondbacks and Chase Field!
 

Notes:

- This one is sort of a combination of eras type design, pairing the D-Backs' original purple and copper (minus teal) with their modern Sedona red. Like the team's City Connect unis, the sand-colored base (with subtle pinstripes, a la the Twins' new road set) is meant to evoke the park's desert setting. 
- I was loathe to use the name "Chase" on the uniform, but to my knowledge there aren't any decent nicknames for Chase Field that would look good on a jersey. I'm open to suggestions, however. 

- The banner across the front of the jersey is taken from the ballpark's official logo. 

- Red diamonds surround the numbers, inspired by the signage found throughout Chase, which would finally make the players actual "diamond backs." 

- The sleeve patch is a rendering of the D-Backs pool. 

- As a subtle detail, the cap logo includes a reference to the three bats sculpture welcoming fans to Chase Field. 

 

C&C appreciated! Only one team left before I wrap up the series.

The two-fisted slopper is perfect. Where do I purchase? 

[Coiler]

I return!

Brewers: Eh, looks too Padres-ish to me.

Diamondbacks: Looks amazing. For the name on front, the stadium has been nicknamed "The Hangar" because of its looks, so that might work as a non-sponsor name.

IDK about the Brewers one. Color it red and blue and it would look like a Texas Rangers concept

Thanks! I found a website carrying the design on a T-shirt here.

Thanks! I'll work on other ideas for the D-Backs jersey. 

 

Wrapping up the series today with the Marlins and Miami Stadium!


 

Notes:

- Yes, I know the stadium where the Marlins play is Loan Depot Park, but before that it was called Marlins Park, so let's just go with that. 

- My design makes heavy use of lime green, inspired by the brightly-colored outfield walls at Marlins Park before they were repainted a few seasons ago. 

- The horizontal stripes across the front and back of the jersey are based on the work of Venezuelan artist Carlos Cruz-Diez (1923-2019), whose artwork "Chromatic Induction in Double Frequency" adorns the walkways leading into the ballpark. 

- Multi-colored parabola-like designs on the sleeves are meant to resemble the infamous home run sculpture formerly in the stadium's outfield. 

 

And that's a wrap on this series! C&C appreciated on the Marlins and any previous teams. 

 

Next, I plan on re-posting the team division by division, for those interested in seeing them presented that way. Stay tuned!

The Marlins uniforms look very Bill Veeck-y, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. Great job.

Were you able to do a high-resolution version of the Camden Yards B?

Sorry, but this is the best I have:

 

Finishing up the divisions today with the AL Central! A few small tweaks to the Royals: I chose a different "K" for the cap (the previous version looked too awkward) and made the undersleeves royal blue.

ROYALS:

 

C&C appreciated, and thanks for following along! 

[coco1997]

Surprise! To keep a promise I made a while ago to @Discrim, I'm back today with the Expos and Olympic Stadium!

EXPOS:

 

Notes:

 

- For the Expos, I went all-in on the aesthetics of the 1976 Summer Olympics played in Montreal, with a triple striped design modeled after the uniforms worn by Team Canada that year. I originally considered going just red and white but decided to add a touch of blue to keep the uniform from looking too much like the Blue Jays' Canada Day alts. 

- The Olympic logo with lowercase wordmark beneath it are, of course, inspired by those original Expos jerseys. 

- The sleeves bear the silhouette of the iconic Montreal Tower which overlooks Olympic Stadium.

- Stencil style numbers are meant to evoke those worn by marathon runners. 

 

C&C appreciated! 

[VampyrRabbit]

I'd always thought that the tower was part of the Big Owe.

Great job for the Expos.
