MLB Recolor: #1

[cjonesy108]

First, this is my first attempt at doing anything somewhat creative with logos. I admit upfront that I'm very limited in my graphic arts abilities, but hopefully this will be a place where I can try to improve. This round of "recolors" is a pretty simple exercise with Microsoft Paint, but it got the juices flowing.

The underlying premise is to try to expand the color palette in sports (i.e. there is going to be a lot of green in these recolors). Also, I know the recoloring is rough...I just didn't want to take the time to get every detail cleaned up, rather I wanted to whip up a lot of ideas quickly.

Appreciate any C&C, and hopefully I can learn from your myriad skills!

#1: Houston Astros

Inspiration: World Series logo from 2008.

I loved the green in conjunction the other two colors. I think it works pretty well with Houston's current brand.

What is that third colour supposed to be? Gold, brown, khaki, avocado...?

The third color kinda looks like army green

I was thinking it, just didn't want to say it.

Every time someone calls this color 'Vomit' or 'Puke Green,' I think to myself, 'Isn't actual vomit more in the tan/orange/brown range?'

I don't like it at all. I think it will look bad on a uniform and I don't think the colors play well together, at all.
