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

theSpungo’s 2009 Uniforms v.3.0

Here’s what was updated:

Today Boston’s uniform changes were unveiled, and although I despise Boston and the east coast so very, very much, almost to the point of murderous extremism (which is weird, because I loved Good Will Hunting) — I really enjoy the changes they made to their road uniform. Depending on what choice of undershirt they go with (I guessed navy for all jerseys) I should still like the road jersey on opening day, while not really caring either way about the alternates — they’re very plain, maybe some piping would have made them pop a little more… but who cares, Boston can rot in hell for all I care (which is harsh, even though I love Seth Meyers)

Alright, enough positivity! Here you go:

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:

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

Dunedin Blue Jays — Added home and road

Reading Phillies — Added home and road

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.
