Moser316 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I think that this may be a future project of mine. I already plan to make an Auburn set, so I guess that I can make a Maryland set, too. I did something similar for an upcoming college baseball concept when I found that the Royals home script wordmark translated very well to Loyola (all I had to do was draw an L and move the letters around)...

sacker12 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 It looks like the turtle is on the road hat. I'm thinking about making that the sleeve logo on my upcoming concept. The "M" with the state flag over it is going to be the hat logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpnation Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 If Maryland's going to "steal" a local MLB uniform design, wouldn't they be better suited to get inspiration from the team that is from their own state, aka the O's?As for the hat not matching the uniform, that at least goes along with the trend how the football team got some fancy futuristic Under Armour uni's but kept the more traditional helmet, which I think looks a bit odd.The black road baseball jerseys don't look half bad - for once a black uni doesn't look worse than the original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I have no problem with college baseball teams doing this (heck, UWM pretty much aped the Padres home script wordmark, only it says Panthers instead), I do have a problem if they don't do it well. Did they? Are they still using the Brewers' 1996-1999 "MILWAUKEE" wordmark?USC certainly borrowed the Padres' look: The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

oz615 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 While I don't have too much of a problem with non-major league teams taking the designs of major league teams, in this particular case, it looks awful:The font used for the basketball jersey would work quite well on a baseball jersey:So would the "M" logo with the flags included (side of basketball shorts) on the side of a pinstriped jersey with numbers on the other side?Even a standard baseball script would look nice. Then make the hat logo MATCH! That bugs me more than anything, and is why I think the Nats should commit to the DC hat look and ditch the W cap, or change the wordmark to something simple that matches the W and ditch the DC look altogether. Or, better yet: Use only the DC hat with the home and road jerseys, then create a third jersey with the W and a script wordmark similar to the old Senators' uniforms that matches the W. They can heep bpth hats without causing mismatches.A bit of a rant, yes, but I think they should ditch the Nats typeface because it looks bad, no other reason. i smell a concept coming.

Baltimore is about 35 miles away. That being said, it's lame to copy a pro team. They should stick with the brand package they already have.

Towson to Baltimore is about the same as College Park to DC. Fortunately, the Tigers are rocking uniforms with our logo package. Although they insist on wearing a "T" on their hats that looks like the Brooklyn Dodgrs font. Frank Creative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the color scheme, though. Gold outlined with black is sharp.EDIT: Here's another look at the Panthers/Padres' "P"....... and the old one. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

winghaz Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 It's weird. Maryland uses script "Terps" on football helmets, where script doesn't belong unless you're UCLA, but doesn't use it on baseball uniforms, where script does belong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 who cares if the cap doesn't match the lettering...i.e. Nationals, even the St. Louis Cardinals' STL isn't anything like how it's spelled using the jersey font. NOT.THE SAME. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
