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.
In which the author contemplates a current affair…
So tonight was a great uniform night, just dandy. It started off with some good work on the Blue Jays; I finally got that damn team organized. So many different uniform combinations that I had to shuffle around, so to make it work I ended up creating a 2000’s era throwback to fill the spot of the old powder blue throwback, which is now a modern home alternate. After that came some work on the Reds and Dodgers uniforms, which are now all in the new template style.
Finally, to cap off the night I thought I’d have some real fun. After surfing around the internets the other day, I came across this little gem of a jersey. Apparently it’s a 1947 Warren Spahn satin jersey. There was a phase back then when some teams tried out satin uniforms, I believe because Hitler was a known satin-hound and since his famed satin yards had been raided a few years earlier after the end of WWII, the market price of satin fell to five buttons a bindle.
Anygay, I loved the look of the jersey so much that I thought to myself, “Hey Jesse, why not spend a few hours re-creating this jersey for a PC baseball video game?” That’s the natural heterosexual male reaction, right? Regardless, here’s what I came up with…

I’d also like to thank Homer for sticking around with me late at night and yelling at me every time he spotted an inaccuracy with this uniform. I kept uploading preview pictures over on the EAmods forums and he kept shooting back with replies about how I’d missed this, or done this wrong, or offended him somehow. If it weren’t for him, I’d have gone to bed long, long ago… thanks Homey.
