Problems with the EAmods server have prevented me from updating the blog more and posting some preview pictures as proof, but you’ll just have to trust that I’ve been hard at work adding new uniforms and updating older ones.

The Progress page is updated the second I finish a new uniform, so skimming through that every few days will update you on what’s been going on over here (it’s a lot to sort through, I know — you try organizing all this junk).

Big additions have been the work on the minor leagues, including the addition of four uniforms for the Indianapolis Indians and two for the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs. The Cubs and Mets have undergone a major uniform renovation, with each slot now filled up with a uniform — about 10 new uniforms between the two teams have been added. The Nationals, Marlins, Cardinals, Reds, and Red Sox have also been heavily renovated (the Red Sox, especially, have a real nice set of uniforms now).

Those are just a few highlights I can think of at the moment. Bottom line is, this will be the biggest update in a long time — if you’re still playing this game then you’ll want this update, for sure…

The newest version of my 2009 uniforms set was released the other day, and it’s available for download at EAmods.com

One last post for the day and it’s a quick one — I spent the majority of today working on some conceptual designs and I think they really turned out great, I especially love the Minnesota road jersey. My wish is that one day all teams will add the city/state name to their road jersey and have both their home and road jersey scripts derived from the same font/style…

So as you can see above, I went a little concept crazy recently. These are not so much concepts as they are my guess as to what several teams would actually do if they decided to adopt a true road jersey.

A handful of teams don’t have their city’s name on their road grey jersey, however there may be a few less next year — The Orioles are set to place ‘Baltimore’ on their road jerseys and the Rays are rumored to join in as well and display ‘Tampa Bay’ on their grey’s. Since no preview images have surfaced for either team’s actual jersey, you will have to settle for my best guess.

The Baltimore road jersey is included in my big uniform set, as well as MVP 2008, and in addition you’ll find the three jerseys pictured above. As of now, I haven’t heard any news about the Phillies or Angels adding their respective city names to their road grey’s, but if they did I think they’d find two good concepts in my uniform set. I like how the Angels uniform borrows a bit from the predominantly red St. Louis Cardinals’ choice to add more navy in their away attire (Both the Angels and Cardinals share the same team colors) while the Phillies concept would them to join the Rockies and Twins as the only teams to go with pinstripes for both home and road sets.

Who’s ready for BETA Update 4? You? How about you? Ok, you? No? My mistake…

Some big-time effort went into this update, especially the Phillies throwbacks, which required me to build yet another set of secret templates, so keep those checks coming and make sure they’re made out to DR. MONEY CASH. Anything less than $99.50 would be a slap to my girlfriend’s face…

Here’s whats in Update 4:

Nationals — Re-done in new templates

Mets — Re-did the black alternates in new templates, fixed chest scripts

Phillies — Re-done in new templates, added 70s home and road throwbacks

Richmond Braves — Added home and road

Tampa Yankees — Added home and road

Sacramento River Cats — Added home and road

Mississippi Braves — Added home and road

Pawtuckett Red Sox — Added home and road

Palm Beach Cardinals — Added home, road, and home alternate

St. Lucie Mets — Added home and road

Vero Beach Dodgers — Added home and road
