Rays
In which the author ponders CBS primetime…
Lots of minor league changes yet again this year, so I’ve posted a small preview below of some of the first changes to be announced this off-season:
In which the author purports a rather dubious claim…
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.
In which the author realizes he still has a blog…
So, why no updates you ask? Well, I’ve been busy. Here’s an example of some new items you’ll find on the progress page:
000g 2008 70s Throwback
003j 2008 Senators throwback
003n 1994 Home
009g 1968 Home
009m 2008 1973 Throwback
009e 2009 Road
012l 2008 St. Pete throwback
018m 2008 1980 Orange home throwback
021n 2008 80’s Rainbow throwback
So there’s all that, which is really just the tip of the MLB iceberg, then you’ve got the countless MiLB uniforms that are included. So many other new uniforms are in there, not including the many more which have been re-done and re-edited — the biggest uniform release for MVP Baseball 2005 is getting much, much larger…
In which the author proclaims his love for pants…
So what do I do after releasing a big giant BETA pack full of uniforms? Release an update two days later of course… I’ve also added my name to the Wikipedia entry for anal retentive.
Now I know what you’re saying, you’re saying “Hey Goober, why the hey would you release an update so soon?” Well first off, you’re talking to a computer screen. Second, did you not read the first sentence? I’m WAY NERDY when it comes to uniforms. I’m continually working on uniforms. So last night I was sleeping, right, and I was having this dream that I was on the computer working on uniforms, but then I suddenly woke up and realized… I was on the computer working on uniforms. So this is the first of what will probably be several BETA updates. Since I’m continually working, this is a much better idea for all of you rather than having to download the entire BETA every time I finish a few more uniforms.
New items included in BETA Update 1:
Twins — Re-done in new templates
Red Sox — Re-done in new templates
Yankees — Re-done in new templates, added 1950s era throwback uniform
Devil Rays — Name issue fixed
Blue Jays — Powder blue alternate converted to modern slot, throwback numbers fixed, added 2003 throwback uniform
Dodgers — Re-done in new templates, added spring uniform
Reds — Re-done in new templates
Braves — Added 1970s and 1940s era throwback uniforms
As always, you can find the update in the ‘downloads’ section. Now go install it, play with it, and send me a check for $13.50.
