They do! They even performed it live at Wrestlemania 22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted November 5, 2023 Author Share Posted November 5, 2023 San Francisco Giants X Santana There were quite a few options for San Fran, suggested or otherwise, but ultimately I went with Santana. I knew I wanted to do the orange Giants jersey and the Santana script fit very well. Overall pretty straight forward 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted November 6, 2023 Author Share Posted November 6, 2023 Seattle Mariners X Modest Mouse Seattle is another place that has a rich music scene so it was hard to pick one, but I ultimately landed on Modest Mouse. I chose them for the Mariners mainly because they have a logo that has an anchor and it felt like it fit witht he Mariners Branding well; don't wory there will be other Seattle teams to use some of the more iconic bands from the region. So I went with the Mariners teal jersey and placed MM wordmark on the front and then added the baloon/anchor logo in the same way the compass rose is used in the Mariners wordmark. The saem logo adorns the hat. The back of the jersey is of coourse a reference to the bands biggest hit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted November 10, 2023 Author Share Posted November 10, 2023 St Louis Cardinals X Tina Turner St louis had a few good choices, but I decided to use Tina Turner as it fit well on a baseball jersey. Overall pretty straightfroward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 Tampa Bay Rays X Mel Tillis For the Rays there weren't a whole lot of choices, and some of the bigger names didn't quite fit a baseball jersey. So I went with Mel Tillis for the baseball jersey and I gotta say it works pretty well. Stutterin' Boy on the back of the jersey is the title of one of Tillis' hit songs. The hat and jersey get new wordmarks in the color of the Rays 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 Texas Ranges X George Strait This is easily one of my personal favorites of the series and a lot of that comes down to me liking the Rangers branding. George Strait just fits so well with the Rangers uniform. The back says KING GEORGE which is a nickname he picked up over the years as the King of Country music. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share Posted November 15, 2023 Toronto Blue Jays X The Weeknd There are a decent selection of artists for Toronto but I landed on the Weekend mainly because I saw a good opportunity fro a logo with The Weeknd. I took this logo he uses that features his face and usually a heart, but swapped it out with a maple leaf as a take on the Blue Jays logo. The Jays lettering stays as we get THE WEEKND on the front and STARBOY on the back 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 The George Strait set is really nice, but I would've loved to see ZZ Top for Texas, as I think they're the artist/group most synonymous with that state. And I say that as a George Strait fan myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johne9109 Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share Posted November 16, 2023 Washington Nationals X Duke Ellington Duke Eliington is our artist for the Washinton Nationals. I really like the way the script looks on the front and then I took the E and merged it with the nationals jersey and hat logo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted November 18, 2023 Author Share Posted November 18, 2023 Atlanta Hawks X Ludacris Now we move onto basketball jerseys and first up we have the Atlanta Hawks who I have corssed with rapper Ludacris. We keep the hawks colors with a wordmark on the front and the rappers lastname on the back 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 Boston Celtics X Dropkick Murphys Probably an obvious pick, but Dropkick Murphys blends so well with the Celtics branding. I went with the Statement jersey because I think the black fits better. I put Quincy on the back as a nod to where the band actualy hails from within Massachusetts 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 Brooklyn Nets X Jay-Z This one seems pretty obvious considering Jay-Z's involvment with the Nets over the years. Jay's other nickname HOVA is on the back with the number 99 being a nod to his song 99 problems 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted November 26, 2023 Author Share Posted November 26, 2023 Charlotte Hornets X Petey Pablo This one is probably a bit of a deep cut, but for the Hornets I went with rapper Petey Pablo. I know he's not a relevant artist by any means, but I was struggling to find an artist that I felt fit with the Hornets branding. Whenever I hear anything NC releated I always think of Pablo's song Raise Up which was an ode to the Carolnas so he felt like a good fit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted November 26, 2023 Author Share Posted November 26, 2023 Chicago BullsXCommon I had the opposite happen with Chicago; there were a plethera of artists to choose from. I settled on Common as I like the way his branding fit with the Bulls branding. The back of the jersey features the name of his group with Mos Def; Soulquarians 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted November 28, 2023 Author Share Posted November 28, 2023 Cleveland CavaliersXKid Cudi Kid Cudi has this neat logo that i felt worked really well for the Cavs statement jersey. Unfortunately the Cavs have very uninteresting jerseys so there's not much to go with 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silence of the Rams Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 This thread has slightly become the "That's interesting, I never knew that" thread. Regardless this is actually cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted December 9, 2023 Author Share Posted December 9, 2023 Detroit PistonsXIggy Pop The Pistons Statement edition has this block typeface which works reall well with this Stencil typeface that Iggy Pop uses. So the front features POP similar to how the jersey employs DET and then Iggy on the back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
