Retro Style Logos and Uniforms - Page 92

1916 - 1930 as the New York Metropolitans with a change in the team colors and a new logo...

txranger · 06-05-2013, 01:48 PM

Its now 1931 and the Metropolitans have shortened their name to the "Metros" and revamped their logo and their uniforms...

New York Metros 1931-1945

txranger · 06-05-2013, 07:57 PM

The final chapter in the New York Mets "What If Series"... The New York Metros will continue to use the Metros nickname through the 1961 season, then they will be known as the Mets...

Here are your NY Metros 1946-1961...

PW MAX · 06-05-2013, 08:03 PM

I love this new "What If Series" you've got going. I've often wanted to create a world that was for the most part like our own, at least on the surface, but was vastly different when you took a closer look. Kinda sad to see the 'Metros' nickname go, though. I liked that a lot. You have to change with the times though.

Love these so far. I'd like to see something in the other direction, too...maybe a 1954-to-present St. Louis Browns set, for instance. Are you planning to do these for all the expansion-era teams?

Actually these were the main three I had planned on doing... If I were to do any others it would only be some of the earlier expansion teams say up through the 70's... The team names of the Angels and Padres have history dating back to the early years of the Pacific Coast League... So these two would be the next in line if there is interest in doing them... The more recent expansion teams from the 90's to present don't do much for me so probably not going to happen for those teams...

Could I make a few requests? But more for evolution then early baseball. Pilots 1970 and beyond. Browns staying in STL. Maybe Marlins from when they were a minor league team up to 1993?

I just finished the Browns from 1901 to 1953 so maybe this would be a natural continuation project. I might jump in.

My 2 cents...

This has been an awesome board for those of us that are less talented graphically - TX, No Pepper, Knuckler (just to name a few) but a much bigger thank you to everyone in this community in general who have taken the time to give to all of us to make this a better game to play - We cannot give enough gratitude.

You have all done requests for me over the years and I have and will use those requests.

I as well as the community thank you for all you do.. keep up the excellent work and many thanks

Jabez54 · 06-06-2013, 11:29 AM

Well said, tarmer ... I'll throw in my two pesos worth

, as well ... This thread is my all-time favorite of the Retros style, bar none !!! ... for I am ever so thankful that Tx steps in while Knuckler, the originator, is busy ... it's amazing with just a simple request that escalated into one of the best Gems of Logos and Unis, among the Legends ... Well said, mate ....

tarmer · 06-06-2013, 11:51 AM

Work being used.......

TX I wanted to show your work being used....... I am currently running an on-line league (this is a historic league not fictional) but your logos and unis were so well liked the GM's voted for using the "fictional" deriviatives for this real league... will probably follow suit with single "A" affliates

Please do! Browns 1954-onward is a "what if" scenario I've been thinking of doing for quite a while now. Some proper uniforms might finally get me going in that direction.

The Game · 06-06-2013, 03:41 PM

Thanx Pepper, would love to see your take on them. Great work Tex.

Anyone have some of the logos from this page? Only one that seems to still work is the Plowboys. Tx made some fantastic uni's for them but the logos are gone.

txranger · 06-07-2013, 07:25 PM

I have all of the logos, but I have no way of knowing what was on this page... Maybe pm Bottom of the Sixth since they were made for him, maybe he will have some idea what they were... I have all of the logos and uniforms zipped up now and will give you a link to download them... These particular ones would be in this file, most likely in the misc teams file...

Thought we would stick with the original unis for a few years before we change them... So here are your Seattle Pilots

The Seattle Pilots 1969-1975
