I sincerely apologize for doing that, and I hope you can focus on the priorities in your life, I apologize if I have caused teeray01 and anyone else here any trouble today and I'm not mad at him for pausing the thread, but I don't want to be seen at some nuisance for ruining a man's life because I got a little too passionate about a thread that involves Twilight Zone-esque MLB teams, I have to own up to this big mistake and I hope we can move on from it.

Apology accepted. I'm going to take a break from this for a while to get back to the place where this was fun again and to take care of my wife. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This forum should be an enjoyable place where we all gather to discuss our shared passion for sports uniforms and designing. The last thing I’d want to hear is that you are being coerced into making these concepts. Anyway, I hope you can get back to designing, and more importantly, enjoying designing, soon, but I know family and your wife’s health comes above all. Wishing you the best. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of them are, but I made up most of them for this thread; like for example Brooklyn Cyclones, Louisville Bats, Nashville Stars, New Orleans King Cakes, and Vancouver Canadiens are based on real teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teeray01 Posted April 21, 2023 Author Share Posted April 21, 2023 Just discovered some of my logos on Teepublic for T-shirts etc. The designer is listed as The History of Baseball. I'm glad they like my logos but I'm not really cool with someone taking credit for my design work and using them for profit! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwasson Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Just found out this morning that the project has been closed, and while I am disappointed that I won't get to see the rest of the potential concepts, I completely respect teeray01's decision to close the project, given the sheer workload that completing this could've entailed, but it was a fun time when this project was ongoing and I hope this inspires the subgenre of baseball alternate history further.

I have signed up as a designer on Teepublic and may release some of those designs again. My wife isn't doing very well. She had a stroke on 3/24 and chemo was stopped. She is at home receiving hospice care. We have a 10 year old daughter together. It's been a tough couple of years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying I'm done. I just need more time to deal with end of life things with my wife. With the Oakland A's moving to Las Vegas and maybe Tampa Bay figuring out their stadium issues, MLB expansion may happen in the next few years. I may do some work on plausible expansion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand you've been taking this long hiatus from the project, and I'm hopeful you can continue this project whenever you're ready. And you are right about MLB expansion/relocation becoming a recent news story, with the A's announcing a move to Las Vegas and the Rays currently still having stadium issues.

I pray you and your daughter can cherish your time together with your wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
