Thank you to anyone who followed along, I hope you enjoyed! My World Baseball classic uniforms are now all posted on my portfolio website, which I'll link below.

@Twins_Uniforms I've been saying this since the uniforms were unveiled, I hope it happens at some point

Would be a cool hat to add to the rotation.. #MNtwins

Since the Nats' City Connect 1.0 seemed to be widely popular, I think they should've gone full bloom for the second go-round.

Some ideas for a Yankees alternate, if it were to happen:

@GReupert Adobe Illustrator, mostly

@MJD7Design What software do you use to make these

Texas Rangers City Connect 2.0: I really like this one beccause of all of the subtle details. It's incredbibly hard to see, but I added the "charro/mariachi" pattern from the wordmark into the numbers, as well.

@Issac_Starr2 Thanks! It’s obviously based on their secondary logo, & the block “M” harkens back to the ‘50s American Association Brewers, just like the script & barrelman do

@MJD7Design fair enough. i do like that logo you made on the hat

Milwaukee Brewers City Connect 2.0: I think the worst part of the City Connect program has been the silly nicknames, so I went with the "Brewers" script instead of "Wisco." Even though I like how orange looks as the accent, I went with gold to make it look more like the Brewers.

@Issac_Starr2 The barrelman patch is great, I just think it’s too busy to work well on a cap. Caps usually work better with simpler logos, which is why the majority of MLB uses simple letters

@MJD7Design would’ve loved to have the barrel man on the hat but other the that it’s what i would’ve wanted to see

@bald30something I like the all-light crown, I think that style needs to make a comeback in MLB

@MJD7Design A cap like their helmet is the only change I can think of. It has the white front panel with navy brim and cap

San Diego Padres City Connect 2.0: I found this one pretty disappointing at first, but I have a feeling it might grow on me. I couldn't really find much to change, I do especially like the light cap.

@the_matt_daddy You can’t really do the patterning, then. I think the ghost letters work fine here

@MJD7Design Why not make contrasting letters and numbers? I would ban ghost lettering.

Pittsburgh Pirates City Connect 2.0: I love it. No notes.

@josh305323 I wouldn't want to do royal & white, as I think that would look too much like the Colts

@MJD7Design The yellow over white is great. I think the blue and white might look better as all white or at least white pants. I think the blue in the 60s was more Royal.

Los Angeles Rams Uniform Redesign: I'm happy with my take on the Rams (linked below), but as the Rams were preparing to move to LA, I was convinced they would go with a 50's, old Hollywood classic branding. Here's what that could've looked like:

Kansas City Royals City Connect 2.0: I really like the Royals' new CC, I think it's an upgrade over the first, so there isn't really much to change. Gradients don't seem to work on helmets, unfortunately, so I went with a simple blue lid & magenta bill.

@ChuckyyLarms I liked the drop-shadow too, that was a difficult element to get rid of. I appreciate it!

@MJD7Design I like what the Ravens did but this is a big improvement. I also am a big fan of the drop shadow staying. Nice job man🔥🔥

Here's an update to my design for the Ravens based on the redesign they just unveiled: I kept the spread wings on the collar, but flipped the colors to make it be more clear. I kept the pants striping inspired by the Maryland flag, but altered it to make it more balanced.

@c1ov2r_ Ah gotcha, yeah I’ve never been a fan of the gold for them, I think the black & purple on it’s own looks more dark & menacing

@MJD7Design why am i so stupid lol. holy misspeak i meant gold😂

@bmore_ray52 Thanks! I think wings on the helmet would be too similar to Oregon & the Eagles, despite how cool it could look. I don’t love the front-facing logo either but I think it works better than the main one, especially because of the menacing red eyes

@MJD7Design Your Ravens wing neck looks way better than theirs. I was hoping they would put some sort of wings on the helmet(this example is just a jumping off point). I’m not a fan of the front facing logo at all.

@endziguri Thanks!

@MJD7Design I like the new unis but I actually like your tweaks better!

@c1ov2r_ I’m not sure what you mean, where is there less purple?

@MJD7Design i like your design but the last thing they need is less purple in the uni.
