MJD7 Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 Kansas City Royals The Royals have had pretty much the same uniforms for much of their history, so I once again went with some inspiration from the Kansas City Monarchs of the Negro Leagues, but this time with powder blue & royal. 8 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 Los Angeles Angels This design is inspired by the Pacific Coast League Los Angeles Angels' "UCLA Stripe" jersey they wore in the 50's, with a periwinkle base color inspired by the '90s Disneyland era. 6 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJD7 Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 Los Angeles Dodgers This checkered design is based on the 1916 Brooklyn Dodgers, who had a similar jersey pattern. 5 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 Miami Marlins This jersey is based on the Triple-A Miami Marlins that existed from 1956-1960. Pairing the design with the modern colors personally reminds me a bit of the Miami Art Deco District. 8 6 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Not gonna lie, I tried this Dodgers idea at least twice, and I'm not proud of either version even though that Brooklyn uniform is among my favorites. I think this version works a bit better than either of mine, though...now a Mets fauxback version I made, I'm a lot more proud of. Weirdly, the plaid uniforms the Giants wore at about the same time, I could actually make a San Francisco version look great, even choosing to use violet plaid like the 1916 Giants did (yeah, I later made a Mets version of that too, complete with violet). 1 Quote A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I really liked the design when I first did it, but I’ve kind of soured on it a bit since. Someone on Twitter said it looks like a “school maths book page” (i.e. graph paper), & now I can’t unsee it. You might be onto something with the Giants though… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 Milwaukee Brewers The striping is inspired by the former Brewers of the American Association, & the font & sleeve logo come from the Brew Crew’s amazing “YOUniform” promotion they did in 2013, in which the winning design was created by Ben Peters. 9 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJD7 Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 Minnesota Twins This design is inspired by the Washington Senators’ (the iteration that eventually moved to Minnesota) “3-D” design that they wore from 1956-1958. 10 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 New York Mets This jersey is inspired by the Brooklyn Royal Giants, a Negro League team that existed from 1904-1942, that the Mets wore a throwback for in 2014. I believe it also hypothetically would mark the first time the team wears the full “Metropolitans” name on a jersey. 10 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 New York Yankees If there’d ever be a good reason for the Yanks to not wear their iconic home pinstripes, it’d be to honor the New York Black Yankees, specifically by wearing a design inspired by what they wore in 1935. I decided to pair it with the classic Yankees script. 7 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 Oakland Athletics It's pretty fitting that the A's fell on St. Patricks Day: I went with a design inspired by jerseys the Philadelphia A's wore throughout the 1920's with the elephant on the front. 11 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Philadelphia Phillies I went with a wordmark that dates back to at least 1888, and added the Phanatic on the sleeve for an added vintage feel. 10 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that, or a simple block or Old English letter "P." I think the Phanatic would be a lot more fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Pittsburgh Pirates This is the only simple recolor from Volume I of the series, I couldn't help but go with a black version of the Pirates' pullover pinstripe jersey they wore from 1977-1979. 5 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 San Diego Padres It's also pretty fitting that the Padres fell today, since they opened the season this morning: I went with the Padres' initial gold jersey, which they wore in 1972 & 1973, and paired it with a script from the Pacific Coast League version of the team. 11 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
