Hey everyone,
For a while I've enjoyed to think about what kind of changes I would make to uniforms across MLB, just being into design as I am. I've always wanted to make a thread of my own here after seeing so many great ones, but never thought I had the computer skills, nor did I really think hand-drawns would show up great online.
After my Twins concept though, I got to thinking and decided to at least try to flesh it out into an entire MLB-wide series. Things are probably gonna slow down quite a bit from me once school starts back up, but at least this is worth starting.
This series is just gonna be my fixes to things across each of the uniforms, I'm gonna save major redesigns for maybe a future series...
So here it goes starting off, naturally, with the Arizona Diamondbacks:
Logos
-Brick red, Black, and Teal are now the main colors. It's a good time for Arizona to move on to a more modern scheme.
-The teal has been adjusted a bit, it's a little greener to look more like a color inspired by Native Navajo jewelry rather than Tron electric blue.
-Caps are both the A logo, just because I'm personally not a fan of the D snake.
-Both caps have the diamond snakeskin pattern on the brim to still achieve the two-tone look.
-Sand-ish colors are still present in the identity, as the home is now cream, and the away is full-on the sand color.
Uniforms
-I like the way the 'D-backs' wordmark looks, besides the fact that it says 'D-backs'. I had to compromise and put the 'A' on the home.
-The diamond pattern is on the back of all jerseys, which makes sense for a team named the Diamondbacks.
-No pattern on the pants. It isn't really necessary.
-I decided to keep the cut piping, but cut it at an angle on the jerseys, like the pants. The colors are also now teal/red/teal on the jerseys because I feel that looks more Arizona and less Tron.
-As said before, the away is now sand. I didn't hate the concept of dark gray, just didn't think it fit the team, especially with teal.
-Snake patch is on all jerseys.
-Both alternates can be home and road.
-Some may not like this, but all accessory elements are interchangeable. Things like hats, belts, and socks can be worn in different combinations with different jerseys.
So, of course, let me know what you all think! All comments/criticisms welcome!
