MLB2: San Francisco Giants

10/30 San Francisco Giants
Keeping it basically the same with this, but making it my own. A few major things, instead of drop shadows, I used dual outlines on almost everything. The primary is probably a hit or miss, but the bottom is the baseball from the current, with the team name, and golden gate bridge on top. The bridge was the main focus for a logo I've done before. It's the G from the script, with a section of the bridge in the middle. Then, FINALLY, I made a script using the same font that says San Francisco. It may be a bit cluttered, but dammit, I finally got a logo like that done.

Onto the jerseys. The same striping style, but the sleeve piping is moved up slightly, not on the edge. The caps are the same as the currents, with my logos. The road features my new script. Here it is!

MLB2: Los Angeles Dodgers

9/30 Los Angeles Dodgers
Simplifying a simple team. I took out the red in the logo, so no red ball. The primary is the same, put on a diamond similar to an old Dodgers logo. The LA is the same, then the patch is the primary with LA. The jersey now has sleeve piping, and no red numbers on the front. Really simple and clean look.

MLB2: Arizona Diamondbacks

8/30 Arizona Diamondbacks
So for the fun with colors thread, I was going to see what the Dback's identity in old colors would look like. Not much of a change, but it'd be interesting. So first I change the red to teal. Then stop and went woooooah. I thought it looked really cool. I replaced the sand with a bronze like the first one, basically making them the Arizona Rattlers of the AFL. I changed pretty much nothing, except match the outlines on the scripts, since Arizona has a thicker script, and it didn't look good. Simple jerseys, double piping on the sleeves unlike the currents. Then I used the previous number font, since it was more edgy, and thought it was a better fit than a font that is somewhat similar to impact. I tried to not make them seem like the marlins too much, and thought it worked. So here ya go!

MLB2: Chicago Cubs

7/30 Chicago Cubs
I didnt really want to change the Cubs much. I made the blue darker, instead of adding navy. I also dropped the C logo. What I used, was the C with the walking cub logo. The scripts are a font, to keep them consistent. "Chi-ago" and "ubs" are in this font, and the center C in Chicago, and the C in cubs is the logo. The cub face logo is on the sleeves.
The jerseys are somewhat different. They are in the same font as the script. The back numbers are now red, with white outline. Currently is blue and red, which looked weird as shown. The new cap logo is on the chest. My road script is on the grey jersey, and has red numbers to match. Lastly, the cub face is on the chest on the blue jersey.

MLB2: St. Louis Cardinals

6/30 St. Louis Cardinals
I love the Cards' set now, the thing is, their package isn't bold. It's plain red, and navy, then with a weak yellow. I took that into consideration and have a product I'm happy with. The yellow is much darker.I basically used the same primary, but with the arch from the allstar game logo. The birds on bat logo is the same, but I added a St. Louis one for the roads. Kept the StL, added a bird head, and the primary without Cardinals for a patch.

The jerseys are my favorite. They have a badass retro jersey with piping running up the sleeves. The current has no piping what-so-ever. This also plays into the bold affect. The road caps are the same as the home, instead of the current navy.

MLB2: Milwaukee Brewers

5/30 Milwaukee Brewers
I like the current scripts, colors, and cap logos, but I also like the old barrel guy. I mixed the two with this concept. One thing, I did NOT use the ball in glove logo like EVERYONE who has ever done a Brewers concept ever before. The current cap logos and scripts look great so I used them. I made a B cap logo for an alt cap. The barrel man is a must, it is just soooo awesome. The primary started out as stripes like the barrel man. But it looked odd. I just had a plain white home. I like the current numbers, so I used them with the same shadow effect. No weird names though, just plain block. Here. Look at it. Now.


I'm glad I changed the colors from royal blue to navy. Much better.

MLB2: Atlanta Braves

4/30 Atlanta Braves
So just some things, I LOVELOVELOVE the A tomahawk logo. That's the primary in this set. I thought it was a simple replacement for the script primary, it just seemed too wide. I also replaced the yellow with a peach-y colour, just to see how it looks. I thought it was pretty good so you we it here. The Atlanta and Braves script remained, and I added Georgia under the A logo as a sleeve patch. The jerseys are really the same for the home and alt. I think they have one of the best sets in the league. HOWEVA, the blue alt they use now sucks. Why don't they just make the jerseys like the shirts they sell? Well. I did.
ENJOY!
