Hey everyone,
Inspired by a few of the other threads on these boards, I wanted to do a little mini-series for an MLB Color Rush, just as a fun thing to do, while I'm working on my redesign series (which should be coming sometime in the future.) This should last about 8 days or so, as I'll post one matchup to start off today, and two every day after.
Anyway, let's get into some rules I tried to follow:
-The jersey and pants are the only things that have to match. Hat and socks can match if desired. The belt will not ever match the pants.
-Even if a team already has an alternate that is the same color as the Color Rush, I tried to change it up a bit for some of them, just for the sake of it.
-The uniforms will be based off of the ones I designed in my tweaks series, so most of the logos will be kept the same. While there won't be any direct throwbacks, there will definitely be some that harken back to a certain era color-wise though.
-The matchups are going to be interleague, by division (I was going to do in-division matchups, like the NFL does often with TNF, but most of the colors ended up being too similar.)
-I'm going to be posting them going from east to west, alphabetically.
Anyway, let's get into the first matchup, the Braves and Red Sox!
Atlanta Braves
-I chose navy for the Braves Color Rush, but emphasized the red and yellow on the actual jersey as opposed to having white. The wordmark and numbers are outlined in yellow, and the coloring of the piping has been changed to accommodate.
-The hat is navy with a red front panel,with a navy 'A' and tomahawk in a yellow outline.
Boston Red Sox
-The Sox have one of the simpler designs for now, I just took the red alternate jersey and added red pants.
So a pretty simple navy vs. red matchup to start off, but I'd love to hear what you all think!
