Sorry to do this but I am placing this project on pause.  I will continue as soon as my wife has recovered and I'm not receiving harassing emails regarding the pace at which I am working.

 

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.

I’m really sorry to hear this. 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.

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

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!

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 know it sucks, but I guess you should be flattered! 

How is your wife doing?

I guess I should be.  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.

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.

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'm so incredibly sorry. I don't know what to say. I pray you and your daughter can cherish your time together with your wife.
