Sure: 5 hours ago, mrcubfan415 said: I’m not so sure the Dodgers would be so quick to drop their classic blue. I’m wondering how this might look in the classic blue and white but keeping green as an accent color (e.g., for the front numbers). As much as the Dodgers in Oakland doesn't feel right, this feels even less right: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted September 24, 2023 Author Share Posted September 24, 2023 What if... the Pirates relocated to New Orleans (and changed their name)? This is the same premise as my original Pirates → NOLA design, but if they changed their name to the "Pelicans." Mardi Gras colors felt like the way to go here. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the road jersey, I meant adding a white stroke to your original design with the "Oakland" script. My fault for not being clearer. As for the blue design, you're 100% correct that it definitely doesn't feel right. I actually miss the red numbers on your original version, but between green and gold or blue and green, the choice is easy. 2 hours ago, MJD7 said: What if... the Pirates relocated to New Orleans (and changed their name)?

Great job balancing the three Mardi Gras colors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, now that I think about it, I can see how blue and green would look too Seattleesque for comfort 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the same premise as my original White Sox → NOLA design, but if they changed their name to the "Pelicans." Once again, Mardi Gras colors felt like the way to go with this one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 And... I believe that should do it! What started as 60+ teams ballooned to nearly double that, I appreciate everyone's kind words and support! I'll post some "compilations," grouped by city & team, tomorrow & the day after, & then after that I'll be taking a much-needed break. 8 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayJ12 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I've enjoyed this series so much! I'm a huge alternate history nerd, so getting to see "what could have been" visualized has been great. Take that well deserved rest, and keep on making amazing concepts! 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Congrats on wrapping up a fantastic series! Even though I know you stated SFGiants58 and Todd Radom provided the majority of the research and inspiration for this series, most of my favorite designs were the ones you undertook after the 60 or so you had originally planned. These are probably my top 10: 01. Kansas City Cowboys 02. Baltimore Orioles (Cardinals) 03. St. Paul Saints 04. Las Vegas Flamingos 05. New York Reds 06. Tampa Bay Rays (Rangers) 07. Nashville Stars 08. New Orleans Pelicans (Cleveland) 09. Los Angeles Angels (Senators) 10. New Jersey Mets Honorable mentions go to the Orlando Rays, Houston Buffaloes and Norfolk Tides. Congrats again! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJD7 Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 And that'll (offically) do it! Thanks again to anyone who followed along, I truly hope you enjoyed it!

seasaltvanilla Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 It haunts me how well the Carolina Twins identity works and makes me irrationally fearful of relocation. Oklahoma City "Marlins" is also just a gorgeous design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
