LEWJ Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I decided to re-do the new TB uniforms. I kept the logos, and colors. I incorporated a lot more powder blue. I used a matching number font very similar to the brewers, and also matched the drop shadow. I think this made it look much better.[out of date]C&C Please | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPRays Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 The Rays dont play in Tampa. We finally got rid of the vests, which if the players wore a loose fitting undershirt would be fine, but everyone wears the tight fit undershirts.I would have definitely liked to see the Rays with more baby blue and I like the cap.

However, they're called the Tampa Bay Rays, so I'm just fine with having at least one of their jerseys say 'Tampa' on it.

That is like New England having England on their gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play near it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Tampa Bay's the region they play in and take their name from. St. Petersburg is the city they play in. Tampa is the city they don't play in. Therefore, only "Tampa" on a uniform is like... well, the Giants and Jets going by New York, which makes no sense, but they're storied enough that they can get away with it. The Rays... are not. So they can't. There, that should clear all that up for all time. On the concept, the obvious use of the Brewers font for the names and numbers just does not work. And that light blue piping on the grays just would not look right. Switch it to navy. One of the problems with their new set is "Rays" being on the aways. Make it "Tampa Bay" or just the "TB". https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 The tweaked-look isn't bad.I would, however, like to see a darker baby blue used for the road uniforms with white shadows.And I would like to see a dark blue jersey with the Rays wordmark.I do like the Rays wordmark on the visiting uniforms. More teams need to use the team names on their road uniforms. Let's be honest: The identity of an MLB team is the team name much more than the city or area. When I say I'm a Minnesota Twins fan, I say I'm a Twins fan, not a Minnesota fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJTALBOT Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I like your tweaks. Especially the matching number font.I'm not a fan of the vests.What about an away jersey that says Tampa Bay and an Alt that says Rays. Everyone loves a roundel.
