Thanks for the idea and I found Flying Canuck's shoe thread where he mentions the player texture Shoes.webp. I found that and edited it with Gimp to resemble the old black shoes of classic baseball, renamed the original Shoes.webp and pasted by black shoes as the new Shoes.webp.
One never knows how these graphic experiments look like unless one plays manual games and manual games are something I like to do.
Scenario:
1. 1955 exhibition at Kansas City Municipal using silvam14's ballpark. This was the first year of the Athletics out of Philadelphia.
2. Facegens by fancyskunk.
3. Custom sounds by kcstengelsr using Sounds 1941-1969.
4. Historic logos, caps, and jerseys by silvam14.
5. Black shoes experiment by kcstengelsr.
6. Two new cam views added to KC Muni.
7. Pants with stockings/stirrups/white sanitary socks for both the home Athletics and the visiting Yankees by kcstengelsr. The Yankees use their classic navy blue stockings while the Athletics use their fancy seven horizonal stripes stockings of that time period.
Experiment:
See how all this looks by playing a manual game on Youtube.
The link to watch on Youtube is:

Results:
1. I need to move the outside of the leg stirrups more towards the heels of the feet. This will also have the affect of a bit less white sanitary sock showing at the back of the legs. I already fixed my stockings template with the outside stirrups back a bit, but not until after watching this game.
2. The black shoes seem to work ok.
3. The video improvements with the game play compared to OOTP22 are too many to mention, but I will mention a few things which might need tweaking:
a. When a player walks with his head high and chest out like after hitting a homer and when the pitcher walks off the mound and for the new victory celebration, silvam14's front logos and back numbers are raised up enough that some distortion results. Check Bauer after hitting the ball in the top of the eight inning for one example or the victory celebration for another.
b. The game still needs to review the positioning of the shortstop and the first baseman on some balls hit to the outfield. Check the shortstop after DeMaestri hits the ball in the bottom of the seventh. Check the first baseman after Valo hits the ball in the bottom of the seventh.
c. I have played a couple of manual games with walk off hits. The previous versions of OOTP had a walk off celebration but is this now missing? In both two cases after a game-winning hit with OOTP23 I not only did not see the old walk off celebration but it did not even show the new victory celebration.
Thanks again for the black shoes idea, Deft. I can easily revert back to the default whites whenever I want.
