coco1997 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Ever since the Chicago White Sox hired the Kansas City Royals’ former bench coach as manager, promoted a former Royal to GM, filled out their front office with other former Royals and began amassing ex-Royal players all within the past few months, it’s become a joke amongst Sox fans that our team seems determined to reshape itself into the Royals for, uh, some reason. With that in mind, I thought it would be fun/funny to imagine what a mashup up the two teams would look like: ROYALS LOGO: ROYALS HOME: ROYALS ROAD: HOME/ROAD ALT: Notes: - A royal shade of gold replaces silver on the South Siders’ uniforms to produce a look similar to the one used by the Charlotte Knights, Chicago’s Triple-A team. - The road uniforms feature a new “Chicago” script in the same style as KC’s “Royals” wordmark. - The crown in the shield logo replaces the four circles with six-pointed stars as a nod to the Chicago flag. Much as I disapprove of what the Sox have been doing, at least it inspired a fun creative exercise. C&C appreciated! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coiler Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 The black looks like a very dark shade of brown: Is it just the color contrast and my eyes? Also the White Sox taking from that very successful juggernaut, the Kansas City Royals. (/sarscasm) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a super saturated shade, though, so I guess it might look very dark brown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the same shade UMass use in their logo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dozap17 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 This is a wonderfully bizarre idea of mashing up two teams! This has concept series potential written all over it IMO... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure there's enough material for an entire series, but I can say I do have an idea for at least one more mashup. 20 hours ago, VampyrRabbit said: It's RGB value makes it look dark brown.

Here's an updated set with the White Sox actual shade of black: HOME: ROAD: HOME/ROAD ALT: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has concept series potential written all over it IMO... How's this? After signing former Samurai Japan teammates Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto this winter, it's a safe bet the Los Angeles Dodgers have secured the baseball loyalty of the entire nation of Japan for years to come. So what would you get if you crossed the Dodgers’ uniforms with Samurai Japan's? SAMURAI LOS ANGELES HOME: SAMURAI LOS ANGELES ROAD/ALT: Notes: - Samurai Japan’s uniforms feature several interesting elements, including navy headspoon piping, segmented, wide-set red pinstripes and gold trim. - Both jerseys make use of the arched, Tuscan style "Dodgers" wordmarks worn by Brooklyn from 1932-33. The cap also features a new "LA" monogram in that same style. - Above the wordmarks is the Los Angeles flag, similar to how the flag is placed on Japan's jerseys. - I took a little liberty with the road set by keeping the piping and color balance from Japan's 2017-21 away uniforms while dropping the pinstripes (a la the team’s current look) which seemed to clutter up the design. I also gave the uniforms matching blue pants, while Japan’s road pants are plain white. C&C appreciated! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
