sonks Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I like your Nationals set, I agree with your decision to stick with one logo. The one thing I would change is to carry over the bevel effect on the numbers on the red home alternate to the rest of the set. I think that alone would set the Nats apart from the rest of the sea of blue-red, red-blue teams in MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsox Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I kept the pretzel-W. It's the first thing I think of when I hear "Washington Baseball", even though it doesn't match the rest of the identity. Never bothered me. And I think the different shades of red and blue make it not exactly a Phillies knockoff.notes:emphasized red, made script coloring consistent between home and road versionsminimized use of gold, except in sleeve patch (primary logo) and in beveling on alternateremoved bevels from numbers for legibility, except on alternateadded modified DC logo to stirrupsWorks for me.

Linus Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 The Marlins alternate is perfect. I love the teal alternate and I would love to see them wear those in action. One thing Ive never liked about the Marlins is the pin stripes. Your Marlins concept is awesome though, great work. beLEAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJaxon Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I am a fan of the vest, and the Marlins having more teal. So for me, this set works on all levels. I think those stirrups would look great with that road uni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJBerthiaume Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 any reason you didn't do a Miami Marlins concept?To my knowledge, they are still the Florida Marlins.The Nationals set I don't like at all. Way too inconsistent. Either remove all of the beveling, or keep all of it. I would say to keep it because it adds gold which is unique in the MLB, and like said before, separates it from the other blue/red teams. Other than that, the general idea isn't bad.The Marlins set is almost perfect but there are a couple things that could be fixed. First, I would use a black hat with teal brim at home instead of the teal hat. Second, the Marlin by itself is too skinny to be on a hat by itself, it just looks wierd. Third, keep the away socks solid. They are inconsistent with the rest of the set right now, and if you are going to have striped socks, they would work better with the home set.

That's why I limited it to the alternates, where I think it's ok to break from being 100% consistent with the home and road. If the color scheme included a darker shade of red (like the Angels), the shadows would not have been as harsh.The fish is just on the BP cap, where again, it's ok to deviate a bit.Striped socks and pinstripes comes across as busy to me, so that's why they're only used with the road versions. I could go plain, but I don't think there are enough striped socks in the league. Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayJaxon Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Other than their black phase, the Royals have been pretty much unchanged. What you did here is more along the lines of what the actual club has done over the years. Sometimes small changes make a big difference. I love both BP jerseys. I don't have a problem with the old-school Kansas City wordmark on the roads because I think it fits the team just fine. Nice upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayJaxon Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I think Wahoo is going to eventually bite the dust, and slowly removing him by starting with the caps would be the way to go. I'm going to point out what I don't like first, and why:Yes, the wishbone 'C' is part of Indians tradition, and if there wasn't a team in the same state that uses it exclusively, I would be totally cool with it. I know it would be easy to tell the difference between the two because of the colors, but I think that logo belongs with the Reds. That is their identity. For a cap logo, I would create a whole new 'C', or use the 'I' that are on some caps. I like the 'I' and I think it looks good as a cap logo. But this is my one and only issue with this set.There was never any need for silver and I'm glad you got rid of it.The BP jerseys look great, as does the alternate.Other than the cap logo, this is a great Indians set.

Linus Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 The White Sox set is perfect, wouldnt change a thing.As for the Indians, use the hat that they wore tonight vs. the Jays. Its the hat with the "I" on it in the same font as the home jersey you made. beLEAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
