Don_Kay Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 After reading this forum and posting some soccer related stuff for a while, I thought I'd try my hand at making some concepts for American sports and there's nothing more American (at least according to the tele) than baseball.For starters, I've gone with teams familiar to me Oakland (same city as the NBA's Warriors) and Chicago White Sox (I have a cap). I kind of wanted both sets to be a mix of the old and now, with the White Sox old logo and the lighter green for Oakland.Oakland 1stWhite Sox 1stCredit to the creator of these templates as seen here.

BigBubba Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Those are actually really good! Though I'm not sold on the Sox's cap logo, I think it looks a bit too crowded. Either the player or the "SOX" would do just fine (the player would prob. be better because "SOX" is already on the jersey). The Oakland home is terrific as well. Oh, and is the 2nd road for the A's supposed to be dark grey/charcoal or black? Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

The Gambler Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I love the Sox home jersey, looks sharp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somppi Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I love the alternate cap for the A's and the primary for the White Sox. good work Auburn University Alum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesfan16 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 The whole Oakland A's set is beautiful. Looks just like 1960's baseball. If the road #2 jersey had white pants, it would be perfect, especially with the white cap.Very clean job on the Sox too. I love the white lettering on the road, but I'm not too sold on the white cap. Looks good on the white and black jerseys, but not so much on the gray. Still a 10/10 for both. I hope you make more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo96 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 That A's home set makes me happy. If they end up moving to San Jose, this should happen. Click the Banner - Join the Movement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Kay Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 I have made some changes to the first two sets.For Baltimore, I liked the colour balance of cream and orange rather than white. The charcoal outfit is a bit more of an experiment.Baltimore 1stAltered Baltimore, with white and grey hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorGangorDie Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 The fact that the orioles are white separates them from the cream of the giants imo, and the white looks better. I liked the charcoal at first because I thought it was black at first glance. Not so much anymore, plus, wouldn't you want the hat to match the color of the jersey/pants?

Bravo96 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Loving the stripes on the charcoal uni. I agree, these are nice for the Giants, bur Orioles should be white IMO. Click the Banner - Join the Movement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCDuck Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I kinda wish there was a "Baltimore" script for the Away 1 set instead of "O's". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBubba Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Amazing work. 10/10Oh, and did he update it to get rid of the cream? Maybe it's my monitor, but I don't see cream. If so, it was the right move. Gotta separate them from San Francisco. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Kay Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 With Philadelphia, the burgundy and white outfits seemed like the strongest idea. It also takes them away from the myriad of teams who use red and white.Phillies 1stPhillies 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uthorns83 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 The Phillies look great, though I think the alt would look better without the black on the hat and a white outline on the wording.The White Sox hat is also incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmets Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 The Phillies look great, though I think the alt would look better without the black on the hat and a white outline on the wording.Totally agree.The White Sox hat is also incredible.Disagree. The Sox batter-man logo is dated, and doesn't really have any relevance to Chicago or to Socks. Objectively it's a very nice hat, if it were for a team called the "Chicago Baseball Players" or something.Overall great job on all of these, it's really nice to see concepts with a fresh perspective behind them.

schtee Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Love the lighter green for the A's, too many teams (Jets, Eagles) have gone away from an appealing shade of green. And the maroon Phils always get a prop from me. Waaaay too many red teams in baseball. @aghease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Kay Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Have updated the Phillies 2nd Road outfit and done the Texas Rangers. I have taken away some of the elaborate stroke on the numbers and wordmarks, aswell as trying out replicating the state flag on the first away outfits sleeves.

BigBubba Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Phillies:Don't like the inclusion of black, and you should tweak the way the alt helmet looks. I know it's supposed to match the hat, but it should extend to the middle of the top. Look at this for reference. Other than that, terrific job!Texas:Great concept as well. I love the sleeves.

Don_Kay Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 Had a break from these, mostly because I started on Atlanta and this is what happened,Also, Boston with a changed capBoston 1stand 'Somewhat Seventies' Blue Jays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Watt Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Just curious on your Atlanta set, did you choose the red/ black combo to coincide with the Falcons and Hawks or did that not play a factor in your color scheme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
