kevinmets Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Here's some of the major changes:1. Realignment. The National League and American League have been abolished in favor of one League with seven geographically-based divisions of 4-5 teams each.Atlantic DivisionBaltimore Orioles | Boston Red Sox | New York Mets | New York Yankees | Philadelphia PhilliesNortheast DivisionCincinnati Reds | Cleveland Spiders(1) | Detroit Tigers | Toronto Blue JaysNorthern DivisionChicago Cubs | Chicago White Sox | Minnesota Twins | Milwaukee BrewersNorthwest DivisionPortland Pirates(2) | San Francisco Giants | San Jose Athletics(3) | Seattle MarinersSoutheast DivisionAtlanta Braves | Charlotte Knights(4) | Jacksonville Suns(5) | Miami Marlins(6)Southern DivisionColorado Rockies | Houston Astros | Kansas City Royals | St. Louis Cardinals | Texas RangersSouthwest DivisionCalifornia Angels(7) | Los Angeles Dodgers | Phoenix Vipers(8) | San Diego Padres1. formerly Cleveland Indians2. formerly Pittsburgh Pirates3. formerly Oakland Athletics4. formerly Washington Nationals5. formerly Tampa Bay Rays6. formerly Florida Marlins7. formerly Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim8. formerly Arizona DiamondbacksThe playoff system is now needlessly complicated and includes seven division champs, five wildcard teams, by-rounds, and lasts well into November.2. After the infamous 2028 season in which the Blue Jays, Mets, and Rockies each used eleven different on-field uniforms throughout the year, MLB institutes a rule that only one home uniform and one away uniform are allowed to be used during regular season/postseason games. Most teams now use a colored uniform on the road instead of grey.3. MLB's outdated batter silhouette logo has been replaced by the new diamond logo (pictured above).This thread will be very different from the MLB jersey designs I did last year- there I changed a lot of color schemes and classic looks I know would never be touched in reality. Here, I'm going to try and make my designs realistic (based on my not necessarily realistic 2040 guidelines). Classic looks like the Yankees and Cardinals will look (pretty much) the same, while some other teams will have new identities altogether (I didn't really mess with creating new logos in the other series).Anyway, C&C are greatly appreciated as always. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmets Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Here's the first team: The Chicago White SoxThe White Sox tinkered with their 90s-00s look for a while before eventually adding red as an outline color. They have dropped the pinstripes, brought back the sock sleeve patch (with red accents), and begun wearing an all-black away uniform (script based on their 70s road script) with a white cap - they are the White Sox after all.

I do like the Phoenix Diamondbacks, but Snakes just sounds too hokey"Snakes" > "D'Backs", and "Diamondbacks" is impossible to fit onto a uniform without looking dumb. Also, I just wanted to have a little fun with the whole realignment thing. Any comments on the White Sox jersey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buster Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Love everything about the White Sox set. The only thing it could possibly use are pinstripes on the white, but adding the red really negates the need for more accenting. The road script is something I've always wanted to see come back. I love the historic ties you incorporated.Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE IT. Its great! Updating the 50s look, just great. Brings back the Go Go White Sox! Can't wait to see the others! You might wan to color in the space between the 'S' red.

Buster Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 How about "Rattlers" for the Phoenix franchise? "Snakes" is a weak name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoppersPop Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Fun idea here. I can get behind all of your shifting and realigning, except for the Phoenix Snakes. As others mentioned, kinda hokey. Portland Pirates sounds really awesome, though.As for the White Sox unis, the road set is a little weird for me. Black top, black pants, and white hat just doesn't work. I do like the addition of red to the trim, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a problem with Snakes, but everyone else does and I agree that Vipers is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameroncrazie07 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I won't make any comments on the realignment thing, but overall the White Sox one looks really good. I'd like to see what you do with the teams that you changed though. The Core 4 Sports Podcast Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ink Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I honestly like this concept but I really can't see the Nationals, Pirates, moving, or the Indians with a name change. The only one that makes sense possibly would be the A's if they don't get a new stadium in Oakland anytime soon, or Rays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
