I can confirm that you will see that concept eventually! Cool! Looking forward to seeing that one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't planning on it, I'm honestly not sure how I would be able to make it much different from this Grays version, other than a different font.

MJD7 Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 What if... the White Sox relocated to New Orleans? Prospective buyer of the team in 1980, Edward DeBartolo Sr., hinted that he might move the team to New Orleans if he got the chance. Gold accents are added to the team's B&W palette to align with the Saints. 12 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe by using the Racing Stripes and a chest logo with the Grays script beneath? I would love to see an Expos style Grays set, as it was missing from SFGiants Defunct Saga thread.

MJD7 Posted July 12, 2023 Author Share Posted July 12, 2023 What if... the White Sox relocated to Tampa Bay? The Sox were minutes away from moving to what is now Tropicana Field, but an after-midnight vote that won by one kept them in Chicago. Leaked t-shirts showed the team considered going with a forest green & orange color palette. 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJD7 Posted July 13, 2023 Author Share Posted July 13, 2023 What if... the Twins relocated to Tampa Bay? A TB group bought a minority stake in the Twins, but once word got out, a "ticket buyout" ensued to boost attendance numbers and keep the team in Minnesota. Navy & light blue, colors the Twins have used, are now the primary scheme. 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJD7 Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 What if... the Browns relocated to Milwaukee (and changed their name)? This is the same premise as my original Browns → Milwaukee design, just if they changed their name to the Minor League team that Bill Veeck also owned: the Brewers. The wordmarks have a bit of Orioles flair. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted July 15, 2023 Author Share Posted July 15, 2023 What if... the Rays relocate to Orlando? This one is unlikely, but "Orlando City Baseball Dreamers" founder Pat Williams has said he would welcome discussions with the Rays to move there. This set was the perfect opportunity for me to try out the 90's gradient full-time. 9 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJD7 Posted July 17, 2023 Author Share Posted July 17, 2023 What if... the Marlins relocated to Las Vegas (and changed their name)? In 2004, the team met with Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman to discuss relocation. "Marlins" doesn't really work for a landlocked city, so I went with the name they almost originally went with: the Flamingos. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJD7 Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 What if... the Athletics relocated to Denver? In the early 80's, Charlie O. yet again tried to move the A's, but since Oakland was losing the Raiders at the same time, the City Council nixed the deal. A's forest green pairs with Colorado purple for this scheme. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 My only critique is that DENVER is hard to read at first glance. But sweet job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillLanigan Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I think the green needs to be lightened a bit to contrast more with the purple. Also, the all-caps Old English "DENVER" is kinda hard to read. The A's used a plain block "OAKLAND" for a few years and I think it worked and looked okay. Love the idea of purple and green, it makes for a unique color scheme! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGiants58 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Nice work! My suggestion would be to avoid double outlines, just to improve legibility. Double outlines on Old English, as I learned the hard way, can wreak havoc on the legibility. 3 Quote MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
