I like the lot of Pauls’ work, especially the Marlins’ jerseys, but here’s what I would have loved to see:

Tigers road jersey: Have “Detroit” in Old English instead of the script they’ve used since 1994, and use the same black/orange color scheme they used in the ’80s. Finally, have the uniform number on the right sleeve like the Tigers teams of the ’60s did.

Maybe I should just make it myself. :)

I am a Tigers fan and think that the Tigers need an Alternate road jersey for their fans around the country that features the Olde English D

No Alternate at Home……EVER

Sorry to be negative (I do appreciate the creativity and hard work put into these mock ups!) But… As a Marlins fan, I gotta say that I HATE that design for the fish. I like most Marlins fans, love the Teal and Black. Say what you want about the franchise but we have won 2 World Series Championships in those colors. We may not have much history, but it is something. One thing I would like to see is the Marlins change their hats. Get rid of the fish and just put an ‘M’ on there like most of the other classic ballcaps.

Also, (again not to come off as a jerk or anything) but to say “Black is not a South Beach color” could only come from someone who has never been to South Beach. If you want South Beach colors, the Miami Heat is the perfect example of the feel for that area. Dark, barely lit rooms and red velvet ropes. Also, for the moron who said something about old people in Florida, again, this is someone who thinks they know something because of what they heard on TV. Have you ever been to Miami? Those old people are dead or moved to Palm Beach County. Florida is a big state. It’s not all one place. Get out of the house more.

im 100% with you. I also live in Miami and agree that black should stay on the uniforms. I hate that orange, reminds me of UM and the dolphins (hate their uniforms). I think they should make the colors look similar to the ones the carolina panthers have in the nfl. That would look sick.

I love, love, love, everyone of of these redesigns with one exception. The Twins one just doesn’t jive with me. The font is a bit much. They have never really had a recognizable word mark apart from the TC on their caps. I like the script across the front of the home unis. I do agree that the road uni needs some work. I so wish Baltimore and Florida (Miami) would take these ideas and run with them. I am also a big fan of the Maryland/Baltimore flag patch, but I would love to see the Cartoon Bird make a comeback. Also a big fan of teams in the same city wearing the same colors. The Marlins would be very wise to do so.

“Is this cheerleader pulling a Britney in terms of underwear?”

No, she’s going commando like a USC Song Girl!

I know the moment has kind of passed, but I took some screenshots of the Milwaukee Brewers/Braves game, if anyone's interested: Ben Sheets walking off the mound J.J. Hardy just grounded into a double play more J.J.--check out those stirrups! Oh, and here's the screaming Brave logo that someone was asking about earlier.

Good enough effort on the unis — though, why no Astros? They are long overdue for something that befits their brand (something that marries retro-futuristic with classy … which is absolutely not the case right now).

This is the best uni the Astros have ever worn, and they should return to it, pronto.

And yes, include the star on the stirrup.

I remember ONE game where the Astros used the shooting star throwback but I am unable to find a picture, but I would prefer the Astros use this again: http://www.astrosdai...

Yep, that’s the one – best uniform the team ever wore. It would still look great today.

To #70 guys: DIY’er here with an ebay auction coming up that features the old Astros and Colt 45’s:

Is this the right picture?
Sorry to burst your bubble, but it looks like Maddux socks. Definitely not as special.

I can’t believe the Seahawks are doing this:

I know fans love the green, but that’s ridiculous.

Seattle… your uniforms… woof!

Anybody remember high school physical education? Did you have to show up in your t-shirt and shorts, and then pick up a mesh pullover to identify your basketball team?
That’s what those neon Seattle things remind me of. Phys freakin’ ed. And that’s probably not an endorsement of the design. (But if people start comparing the players in uniform to running boogers and vomit, maybe it will be.)

Call me crazy, but I think the green jersey with the white pants might end up looking half-decent. The blue pants? Not so much.
