johne9109 Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 Atlanta Hawks I went pretty traditional with the Hawks putting their current wordmark on the front with a yellow and red striping on the sleeves and placket. The hat logo is their current alt logo that is featured on the waistbands of their shorts, but I swapped the basketball design for a baseball stitching 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 Boston Celtics The Celtics, like the Red Sox, are a very traditional team and don't experiment much with their uniform. So I went with a very traditional baseball uniform with green striping and a green cap. I went with the clover logo on the cap as it felt more baseball logo than the Celtics logo with Lucky. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMoon18 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 ATL: Love the idea of making the cap logo a baseball ATL, but I feel like their current primary (without the circle of text around it of course) would make a better one. BOS: Similar case to Atlanta, good idea, but a better logo could be used (just the clover in this scenario). Also, after you finish this, could you do some of the city uniforms from years past? I feel like some of them could be better baseball unis than basketball unis (i.e. ATL's from this year) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like some of them could be better baseball unis than basketball unis (i.e. ATL's from this year) I did that logo for the Hawks because a lot of MLB cap logos tend to be/involve letters. I could try both them and Boston with the different cap logos. I think I might go back and do away, alts, and city editions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could try both them and Boston with the different cap logos. I think I might go back and do away, alts, and city editions That makes sense, but it's often either one or two letters or some symbol, so I feel that neither of the caps you originally did would work for an actual baseball team. Some teams do have logos that could work as a cap logo realistically, but I understand that not all do (My hometown Mavs don't have one unfortunately). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 Brooklyn Nets The Nets I decided to do as a sleeveless jersey; mostly based on the fact that their normal jerseys are very plain. So I took the Nets logo changed the basket ball to a baseball and put that on the front of the jersey and then did the same with the cap logo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomba Tomba Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I like the change of the basketball into a baseball, but the Nets name still makes zero sense in a baseball context 1 Quote If you read on the card you'll be cheating on your heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even think of that TBH. I guess we could go with the Nets behind home plate. Unfortunately the only other name the team has gone by was the Americans and that does not fit their current motif at all. I also can't think of something baseball related that has the same ring as the Nets, but I'm open to suggestions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johne9109 Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 Charlotte Hornets While I ponder the Nets here's the next team. You know the Hornets had to get the pinstripe treatment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the things you hit balls with, and given the team's black and white color scheme, the flying mammals also fit 2 Quote If you read on the card you'll be cheating on your heart.

I think I'll try that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 Chicago Bulls Another pretty straightforward one. The jersey gets black and white striping paired with a red under shirt, socks and hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johne9109 Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 I've decided to also go back and do full sets of uniforms and will do so going forward. Because these are baseball uniforms each team will have a white and grey uniform, unless the grey really does not work, then 1-2 alternates that adapt the Icon and Statement uniforms, and lastly I will adapt one of the teams City edition uniforms. The MLB has kept their City Connect uniforms so I decided to look back an choose the City Edition that best embodies that teams location. Here are full sets or the Hawks and Celtics Home and away get the white and grey treatment. The first alt is the Hawks Icon uniform and then their black Statement uniform is their 2nd alt. For the City uniform I went with their 2022-23 uniform as it kept with the Peachtree/Peach State vibes with the colors and logo, but I really liked the Atlanta script they used. Celtics also get the White home and Grey away and their Icon and Statement uniforms as alternates. If I was going for my favorite I would've used the Celtics 2019-20 City uniform, but I think their City edition from last year really embodies the team and their legacy with it's ode to Bill Russell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 Brooklyn Bats (Nets) Here is the full set for Brooklyn. They too get a grey away to go with the white home. I then decided to make their Icon uniform into an alternate and skip their Statement uniform as it felt very redundant having 2 black alternates that would end up looking very similar. For the City uniform I went with their 2019-20 City Edition. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
