dboi Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Change the shade of yellow to a duller one and you've got a winner! I love what you have done here,Fox. I've been following this closely before I got an account, and I have to say, this is your best yet! Tkachuk was a Thrasher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 If you're going with placket and sleeve piping on the alternates, then the pants need piping too. That's the biggest issue with their current set. I say add double-piping to the pants, and put it on the sleeves of the primary home and roads as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBubba Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 The Connecticut Whale use a medium shade of green, but I digress.I love how the A's look. Great job. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportstar1212 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I prefer the darker green for the A's, but that's just me. It still looks good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajmccall Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 While I understand many think of the current Athletics set as "classic," they have a long tradition of trying daring combinations. The fact that they had success in traditional uniforms aside, the Athletics franchise has had MANY different looks. I think they should embrace their colorful pasts. The alternates are nice, and mesh nicely with what they have safely done lately, but I think a successful fantasy set should include bright hues and cutting edge designs and logos. Just my opinion.

kevinmets Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 Thanks as always for all the comments everyone!9. Washington NationalsChanges:• New primary logo• New/re-worked "DC" secondary/cap logo• Re-introduction of gold as an accent color on primary and "DC" logos• Inverted script colors• Home pinstriped jersey inspired by this and this• Home alt jersey inspired by this• Added white to piping on road jersey (the "Nationals" should always be "red white & blue")I'm really not a fan of the Nats' current identity... I think this is as far as you can go in the opposite direction, while still maintaining a RWB color scheme. Plus, any way they could acknowledge their Expos past would be welcome, IMO. This came out even nicer than I thought it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoOakland Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 8. Oakland AthleticsChanges:? Replaced dark green with normal green (or "kelly green" if you must)? New green alt jersey? Eliminated all-green road cap? Recolored secondary logo (elephant)? Standardized one "A's" logo for everything... primary logo, caps, alt jerseysThis one is more of a tweak then a full-blown concept, but their current look is (very close to) perfect. This is really what I'd like to see them wear though - how are there not more pro sports teams that wear a medium green? (Celtics and...?) PERFECT. Nothing I can say, just absolutely perfect.

cohenj21 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Nationals look great. Awesome nod to the senators while keeping it modern-looking. Pinstripes is a masterstroke IMO. Looking forward to the rest of this series! "Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieMoon Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I really like these. Really wish baseball would go back to the old days. Two uniforms (home whites/road greys) and four divisions. Seems baseball was a lot better to watch back then.Also, thank you for making Cleveland the Spiders. Not starting a race-war, but as being part Native American, I hate Chief Wahoo.

mbannon92 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I like where you're going with the Nats, but there are too many inconsistencies for me. I would match the collar/sleeve piping on the road and both alts, including getting rid of the full lapel piping on the blue jersey. Also, the numbers and NOBs on the alts are begging for a gold outline. Even though it would be different from the home and road, IMO it would look pretty slick.
