mahnkej Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 Epilogue: Tampa Bay Rays v2 The Rays go back to a forest green & black look (which they utilized from '01 - '07) along with a some more modernized elements. Player names and numbers are changed from their janky proprietary font to a standard block style, hats get the black stingray logo blended in with the 'TB', and metallic blue is used as an accent color once again. Green and black alternates utilize the primary logo on the chest, while the stingray continues to be used as an accent on the left sleeves.

VampyrRabbit Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Out of the three full time looks the Rays have had, the 01-07 is my least fave, The forest green and black just doesn't look right for Tampa and the metalic blue doesn't contrast or compliment the green well. I also think the change from double to single piping is a downgrade from the 01-07 set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I agree with @VampyrRabbit; those 2001-07 Devil Rays unis didn't work because there wasn't nearly enough contrast between the forest green, black and royal blue. There was some stuff to like about that look (namely the wordmarks) but it was very much a product of its time. That's not a criticism of your concept per se, but this is a look best left in the past. Replace the black with their current Columbia blue and you might have something, however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnkej Posted December 24, 2023 Author Share Posted December 24, 2023 Epilogue: Arizona Diamondbacks v4 Very simple concept here: The Dbacks go back to their classic purple and teal color scheme full-time. Design is tweaked slightly vs. the original look, but otherwise these are the late 90's -early 2000's jerseys in all their glory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnkej Posted December 30, 2023 Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 Epilogue: Tampa Bay Rays v3 At this point, the evidence is pretty clear: Tampa's Devil Rays throwback uniforms are easily their most popular and recognizable look. Fans love 'em, and I could definitely see them eventually moving to these full-time. So for this set, I stuck with that design philosophy. A few notes: A rainbow gradient pattern, based on the color in the Devil Rays logo, is added in a few new places on the jersys. This pattern is also introduced as an option for the socks (which looks both ridiculous and incredible in real life) Road uniforms use a slightly darker shade of gray Alternate sun burst logo is used as the sleeve logo on the two blue uniforms Stingray logo on the left sleeve is updated to match the design on the hat, which replaces the old "TB" design as the new primary hat logo Navy blue, indigo, and black alternate jerseys use the rainbow gradient pattern for the player numbers, and also for the piping on the sleeves and neckline Finally, black alternate uniforms use the original Rays TB/stingray logo on the hats and jerseys 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swap green with black and then black with blue and you could have something more interesting, but it would still be too dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnkej Posted June 16 Author Share Posted June 16 Update: I made some tweaks + additions to the original sets from last year, and twimmed down the total number of sets to accomodate Nike's "4 + 1" rule. In other words, no team will have more than 5 total uniforms. For the most part, the changes are subtle. But there's a few teams where I added some new things.
