axl007 Posted May 15, 2006 Author Share Posted May 15, 2006 These are vector graphics in CorelDRAW. I'm still learning the gradient effects though. I sprained my ankle playing ball so I've been working on these (and the football helmets) all weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamblinGamblinTiger Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 That's pretty amazing- One thing that I notice as a Braves fan -> For some reason or another, the batting helmet is different from what is on their field caps. I'd say the logo on the helmets look 'constipated' compared to the hatsFor reference:Are you planning to do the other 18 teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VitaminD Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Brilliant work, as usual.If I may, a couple of nitpicks:EXPOS: The white panel wasn't triangular the way the Braves, Blue Jays and others' helmets were. It was a straight line down from the apex of the helmet to just before the lateral edge of the brim. Also, the red panels stopped just beyond the earflaps. The backs of the helmets were royal blue. And the red panels met at the apex of the helmet, slightly thicker than a tapering point. The blue and white panels never touched.BREWERS: The white front panel was shaped like the Expos' front panels - with straight sides that didn't have any curve or triangularity to them.Still... I agree with the assessment. Great googily moogily! "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it...

Yac12 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Great work!In your first post of helmets the Orioles logo is not the current one they use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sprained my ankle playing ball so I've been working on these (and the football helmets) all weekend.These are very nice. One question, however -- did the Expos ever wear helmets like this? I thought they only ever wore the solid blue and the full pinwheel (for lack of a better name), which had a blue panel in the back.

axl007 Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 Thanks everybody. After I saw the old braves helmet I tried to make the other ones by memory (shows how good that is!). The new Orioles helmet I fudged because I couldn't find the current one, if anyone has any pics of any of these helmets I'd fix em. Thanks for all the tips, I'm rusty on my baseball.fearthelion, yes use it.axlDid the pirates have a fake button on top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illinirox1 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Wow. Amazing work.Extreme nitpick: on the first set, the logo angles are a little off on the Marlins and Cubs. They look a wee bit flat.The second round looks beautiful. Put Your Hands up For Detroit (our lovely city) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Did notice that when I saw the White Sox-Twins game on Sunday and I like it. I'd wondered if this is a sign that the Twins is finally going to get rid of it's stripes uniforms and go back to thier 80's look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Axl, one another thing I've noticed as I stare at these in amazement...The triangular panels all keen a little bit toward the left (earflap) side of the helmet. If it can be assumed that the logo is placed squarely in the middle of the front of the helmet as determined by the brim, the triangle's apex isn't in the middle of the helmet.One thing that may help as a placement cue would be adding the vent holes to the crowns of the helmets. Catcher's helmets have 2 vent holes, placed along the sagittal axis. Helmets with earflaps have the 4 holes arranged in a square around the top. Here, the apex of the triangular should split the pair of forward vent holes.Looking forward to the rest of these... "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today...
