It's hard to believe it's already been 3 years since the last World Baseball Classic (and hence my last WBC series), but it feels like a good time to post them again, this time as full uniforms. Desgins will be largely similar to the first time, but there will be some changes.

Puerto Rico: I essentially went back to their 2006 design, and added a blue alternate.

Philippines (Pilipinas): Gold outlines surround the number on the front and the player name on the back, inspired by the sun and stars on the flag. I went with a dual-colored racing stripe also inspired by the flag.

@IronMang2000 The home cap & the away script are definitely very Expos-like! I never really put that together, good call

@MJD7Design The home and roads give me Expos vibes for some reason. Very cool.

Panamá: I went with a dual-colored sleeve design, inspired by the flag.

Pakistan (پاکِستان): Pakistan gets a complete redesign from last time, going with their new wordmark and pinstripes on every uniform.

@slurpielizard I can't say I understand what you mean by this

@MJD7Design Please do every team but *one*

Nicaragua: I went with their newer script, and kept sleeve striping inspired by the flag.

@rcserrano97 I prefer the old wordmark, but to each their own!

@MJD7Design I prefer this year's design in the World Baseball Classic

Cuba: I basically went back to the uniform Cuba wore for the 2009 World Baseball Classic (minus the underarm inserts), and added a blue alternate to match.

New Zealand (Aotearoa): I kept the subliminal pinstripes, but added in contrasting sleeves, & a headspoon on the alternate.

@NorthsideFan_ @hortiz32 Yep, Puerto Rico will be posted in about a week

@hortiz32 @MJD7Design Alphabetical order so they'll be after Nicaragua and Panama (also maybe someone else who didnt make the WBC since not all teams hes doing did)

Netherlands (Nederland): I went back to the wordmark from the 2017 WBC, as well as going with black instead of navy. Orange pinstripes remain at home, but black is now the road jersey, with orange remaining as the alternate.

@NorthsideFan_ It’s not online I don’t believe, but if you send me a message with your e-mail I can send it to you. It’s an Illustrator file if that works

@MJD7Design Is the template you use for these available somewhere online?

@josh305323 The black hat was added at the last minute, funny enough

@MJD7Design Great hat, especially the black one

@TigreroEXIGENTE Spain will be posted towards the end x.com/MJD7Design/sta…

@MJD7Design Italy and Spain

México: I kept the triple-color piping inspired by the flag and the green pinstripes on the home jersey. Green remains the color of the alternate, but red becomes the new away jersey color, although it was a tough choice between that & gray.

@EaglesUniGuy It is a bit peculiar, but Japan has always been navy-heavy in their athletic uniforms (at least for baseball)

@MJD7Design Kind of odd that Japan, who's flag is red and has red and white as their national colors, has a navy blue jersey and no red jersey in the WBC.

Japan (日本) Japan has developed a pretty classic uniform set, I added a bit more red back in and went with spaced out pinstripes inspired by their 2004 Olympics uniforms. The alternate jersey is now red, inspired by their 2020 Olympics jersey.

@unifoulplay Yeah, it’s not ideal, but I’ll take it to achieve the overall effect

@MJD7Design The one thing I don’t like is two different colors pinstripes sit on in one uniform.

Korea (대한민국): I went back to the brighter blue of previous WBCs, with the uniform largely being based off of their 2013 WBC design. For the alternate, I went with a black-out inspired by the flag.

@PhilTalksSports Do you see how the colors in the negative space on the sides of the "I" form the Italian flag? I feel like that's an irreplacable element, personally

@MJD7Design I definitely want them to change the plain “ I “ on the hat it should atleast be a script I

Italy (Italia): The pleasant surprise of this year's WBC, here the flag colors of green & red are added in as trim to the main athletics color of "Savoy blue." I wish the genius cap logo was my idea, but it comes from the inspiration of a fellow sportslogos.net user.
