MLB2: New York Yankees

30/30 New York Yankees
The last team is my least favorite.

The primary logo now is about 75% red, but there is hardly red used anywhere else. I replaced red with grey. I did that, but had navy more prominent. I only used one NY logo, unlike the 4 they use. Also, the scripts are the cursive, but that wont be needed for my jerseys.

Iconic pinstripes on the home, but the road, I put pinstripes with an NY logo on the chest, basically a darker home. Simple navy alt logo that in reality wouldnt be used much.



Thats what I've been doing for the past month! I finished posting these, and please comment. Please. Also go to the Continental Baseball League. Click!

MLB2: Chicago White Sox

29/30 Chicago White Sox
I found out that the White Sox and Tigers use basically the same font, so I went retro with this. I loved the Chicago script that they wore in the 70s, so I tried to match the Sox logo with a similar font. The alternate uses an update sock from a primary logo used in the 50s and 60s. It is surrounded by the diamond in the current alternate. The primary IS the cap logo, like now.

The jerseys are also new. I decided against pinstripes, just to be different. So no pinstripes and the design used on the black alt now on the sleeves and collars. The numbers match the scripts, and the front numbers are on line with the logo. Also notice the white socks! With stirups!

MLB2: Minnesota Twins

28/30 Minnesota Twins
I got help on this one from an ACTUAL Twins fan!

I think the current set is great, but could be changed. The primary, I just got rid of the Minnesota Baseball Club circle, nothing special. I like the current TC logo, but I thought of a way to maybe tie it in to the set better. The T from the Twins script fused with the wishbone c to make the new cap logo. Minne and Paul shaking hands on a logo for a patch on a sleeve. Then a new idea for the Minnesota script on the roads. TC suggested a slanted c on the cap but I wasnt feeling it.

The jerseys have some of the current influence, then some of me. The cap logo is all the same. So is the home jersey, pinstripes just work. The numbers have the shadow and such like the script. The roads also have pinstripes unlike the roads now. The names have an outline to seperate. the alternate just has red piping on a navy jersey, basically the current alt.

MLB2: Detroit Tigers

/30 Detroit Tigers
Now, this might be a little radical. I moved away from the classic Tigers look, and took it into a direction I thought would also be cool. I like the D primary logo better than the D on the cap, so I used it here. I also threw in some outlines to tie it in with the other logos. I realized the cursive scripts weren't doing much, and there wasn't any old English scripts yet. The primary is a throwback to the logo from the 70s-80s. Finally, I used the turn of the century tiger head as a patch, and on the primary. But everyone does that, since its awesome. On the scripts, I put only one outline, to simplify it.

I kept the current chest only piping. I also wanted to implement the colour orange more than they do now. The caps have the same pattern with a white logo on the home and alt, then orange on the road. The alt is navy on navy, that seemed to work best.

MLB2: Kansas City Royals

26/30 Kansas City Royals
Somewhat simple, but adding a bit too. I dropped the light blue, but kept certain aspects. Going on with the gold shadow, all the scripts and logos have a gold shadow. The primary is the same, without the script. The jerseys now have piping, unlike the currents. The numbers match the scripts in attempt to bring the whole look together. Its really nice when the whole jersey has the same look.

MLB2: Colorado Rockies

25/30 Colorado Rockies
REMIX

Complete rebrand ahoy! So for this there is a lot of purple. I think everyone can agree its for the better. I went for a western font, and a really simple concept, just updating things. I updated the mountains, and the primary is the same basic idea. The cap logo is a simple C in the same font, with a tertiary logo with the mountains. I dropped silver completely, just making them purple and black. I got rid of the pinstripes, but kept the purple going on the jerseys. Howeva, the caps are black like the current set. The numbers match the scripts, too.

MLB2: Boston Red Sox

24/30 Boston Red Sox
Still taking out some red and blue teams, I may be overdoing it. Boston Red Sox, break down the team. Boston's Irish heritage, Red Sox, so red, and the green monster. That is why it only makes sense to replace navy with green. Not much of a change logo wise. Some minute changes to the primary, but thats it. The jerseys are basically the same, with the changes. The cap is green to go with the current navy. The road scripts are now red, instead of the throwback blue script. I decided to not put names on the back to go with the home's retro feel.

MLB2: Cincinnati Reds

23/30 Cincinnati Reds
I normally am one to like adding black when it looks good. One case is the Reds' look. I always add black. I saw some concepts of the reds with just red and white. I noticed something that I would do different. Basically, with the logos, they're the same, but without black. The jerseys are simple, i guess. The mistake I saw on everyones was that NO ONE put a white outline on the road numbers. It separates the two and makes them more visible.

MLB2: Tampa Bay Rays

22/30 Tampa Bay Rays
I needed a better script, and a better hat. So I see what they have in their past. The previous logos were onto something, but it was lacking something. The current one is really nice, but it could be added to. I decided to tilt them, and to be honest, it adds a lot. I kept the current scripts, taking out the sun ray. Using the same colour scheme with this one too, but replacing black with dark green. There really was no where I could put a ray in that primary without looking forced. I'm up for suggestions, but nothing wowed me. here is the new work!

The last jersey, they just seemed boring, and needed more green. The Rays used vests before so its no big deal on this one. I based the script colour choice on the number/outline combo. Other than that, these are similar to my concept on page 2.

MLB2: Texas Rangers

21/30 Texas Rangers
Looking at a poster in my room, I focused on the Rangers for some reason. I noted that they have the same hat, with 3 different options. They all had a T, with a blue crown, and 2 had a little hint of red. One thing that sucks is that they use a pretty solid T logo, but use a weird script, with many outlines. I cut those down, and went with a font that would match the new cap logos. The primary is a badge, for the rangers. I added lighting affects, and the shape of Texas. Speaking of which, is an alt logo.

The jerseys are revamped. i like the vest look, and my thinking was that it'd look good with this particular scheme. The numbers are simple MLB block, no need for something fancy. I offered 3 different caps, too.

MLB2: Pittsburgh Pirates

20/30 Pittsburgh Pirates
The focus on this concept was yellow. I took out all red, and replaced it with a color used a lot, but not enough. One thing I noticed was that the primary logo does not match the home script.
The scripts and numbers are similar to the padres. The popping yellow, instead of a yellow outline. One thing i also did was bring back the vests, and have black sleeves. Now, on the alt, they are black vests with sleeves.
