wdm1219inpenna Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I have been visiting this website for many years. The artwork that many of you showcase on here truly blows my mind, and I'm usually not too easy to impress. Coming here is a pure joy and I am most grateful to Chris, and to all who contribute to these boards.One of the things I thoroughly enjoy about this site is seeing some of the retro baseball uniforms that were worn during the 1970s. I am partial to that decade, as that was the decade of my childhood, from age 3 through 13 anyway. It was during that time that I became a big fan of Major League Baseball and the National Football League. One of the reasons I became interested was due to the bright and colorful uniforms worn by several teams, especially in the NFL but also in MLB.I know that this website, as all other websites, especially those dedicated to uniform databases, are a work in progress. To that end, there are some uniforms that are currently not showcased.I attempted in a very simple way to recreate some uniforms from this era that are currently not showcased with the various teams. The first one I'm showcasing for your viewing pleasure, or perhaps displeasure, is the circa 1976-78 Kansas City Royals. This crude template that I created, including the sleeve ends, pant belt and stripes, and collars, are all courtesy of this amazing website, as are the various logos.

wdm1219inpenna Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 One more for now. I did the "old" American League West teams first. The 70's uniforms of the California Angels and Oakland A's are already showcased on this site.Next up, a combo 1977/78 Seattle Mariners: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdm1219inpenna Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Next up, the Chicago White Sox. Again, I know these are far from accurate. The numeral and lettering font for the backs I got from doing a Google image search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdm1219inpenna Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 1975ish Indians. Missing are the sleeve patches. The numerals should be smaller too I realize. Also I did white pants for both sets. I didn't like the red or dark blue pants together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdm1219inpenna Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Next, the Detroit Tigers, I did something sacreligious (sp?) here. 1, I made a home "double-knit" pullover looking uniform for the home uniform, and 2. I made an alternate home uniform, sans the Old English "D" on the jersey...More to come, would appreciate and love to hear feedback from you all. Again these are nothing uber-special or anything, but it's fun to do and to share with others, and I value your opinions greatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Louis Cardinals Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Would there be 2 feathers on the sleeve or just 1? #9 LSU vs. TCU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdm1219inpenna Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 Would there be 2 feathers on the sleeve or just 1?Good question. Based on all the pictures I found, including that at the Dressed To The Nines database, they did indeed have a feather on each sleeve. Thanks for the inquiry I have the Cardinals yet to finish. I already know their socks won't be accurate, but I'm just going for a retro feel with regard to the caps, pants and especially jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdm1219inpenna Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'm not exactly thrilled with how this one looks. I searched for 3 days trying to find the Padres wordmarks, then trying to size them to fit the uniform template.Anyhow, here it is in all it's...uh....glory....
