Might just be context, but the red also looks tweaked for the better. The Czechia set is beautiful; probably your best yet! Love all of those different patterns, especially that half-tone one on the away. My only complaint is that capitalizing the "o" feels a bit unnecessary. Thanks! I guess the brighter orange shade makes the red hue look a tad different. And I agree! I think the Czech set is the most inspired one. I used a capital "O" to add more symmetry and make the wordmark stand out a bit more. On 3/6/2023 at 3:17 AM, dodgerdog16 said: Dude that Czech Republic set is badass.

Victormrey Posted March 8, 2023 Author Share Posted March 8, 2023 A new week, a new team: Japan! I wanted to give "Samurais" a more distinctive look, drifting away from the often repeated blue/red scheme. That's why I've gone for navy + pink, with the later being inspired by the cherry blossom. For the main home and road jerseys I have kept the pinstripe look, but with more space in between, sort of like the Marlins' City Connect design: The pink alt features "日本" in shodo style, while the navy alt is a modern interpretation of their 1996 Olympic uniform: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eegl75 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 what if you put a samurai sword in the J 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky1324 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I'm not really feeling the pivot to pink for Japan. Yeah they have used navy and red before, but recently they've focused on a navy and gold color scheme which is unique and also the historic scheme for a very historic team. The pink pinstripes on the gray jersey are not great - they're hard to see. The number font is quite nice, I like the pullover alternate you have. The calligraphy-inspired set is not my favorite but I do like it. Using pink as a base works really well, better than I thought it would. I actually don't really care for the pink hat, I think the navy cap would serve perfectly for every jersey. 3 Quote the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Nice job on the last couple teams! Pink is a bold departure from Japan's regular look and I think it could work, but I would use it a little more sparingly. For example, on the home jersey, I'd keep the wordmark navy but add a pink stroke around it. Also, would the pink alt w/ white pinstripes be paired with matching pants or solid white ones? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding small elements inside a wordmark could end up looking like a blob from afar. 19 hours ago, CDCLT said: I'm not really feeling the pivot to pink for Japan.

Thanks! And it's a tough call but, for consistency's sake, I'd say the bette option would be to go for pink pants with white pins. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Japan, Czech Republic, and Panama absolutely rule. Great job there. I think Netherlands could use a fresh logo. The current crown representing all of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (Curacao and Aruba) seems generic and the NL monogram might be too. I prefer black to the current navy, but a little light blue to pair with black and orange could be really nice. China i'm not so sure on, but I think it's 100% because the actual logos this WBC with the Dragon head blow the old english text out of the water. Looking forward to more! 1 Quote @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've been thinking about an alternative logo for the Netherlands, but I haven't come up with any new idea so far. Also, I didn't ntice the new unis feature navy until I saw WBC's graphism and closer pictures of the players! Perhaps this could be the solution to use both black and light blue? 24 minutes ago, raysox said: China i'm not so sure on, but I think it's 100% because the actual logos this WBC with the Dragon head blow the old english text out of the water. As soon as their new identity came out I couldn't help but thinking I should use it for the series, but I couldn't find a high quality version of the wordmark/logo. Thankfully, it's just been uploaded to the site! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky1324 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 The updated Japan is better! As a matter of personal preference I would keep it gold but as it is I think this is a good way to include pink without it being overbearing. 2 Quote the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought Japan historically uses "JAPAN" on their jerseys. Same with Korea and China - you just don't normally see non-Latin based languages on baseball jerseys. Besides, Victor has made a set that says「日本」and it's the pink alternate. 1 Quote the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every Asian team uses their English (or at least "Western") name as main wordmark, which I've kept while adding an alternate script in their native language and alphabet. Spoiler alert: I've done the opposite for Israel, since I've not found a good version of any of their wordmarks. If it gets posted, like China, for example, I'll re-do it. Also, for South Korea I've used their "Korea" wordmark for the whole set. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I know I'm kinda late to the party on Japan, but I gotta say I do like your idea of adding pink to the mix. Maybe you could try doing navy, gold, and pink? Like the Pelicans but with pink replacing red. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in real life it could look even better with some sort of metallic/glossy effect on the wordmark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
