Rumors...Come True!

Last Friday, I told you about a possible new Twins alternate jersey that might be coming out. Well...I guess it is true!


Here is my original post.

Rumors...

I hear quite a bit about what might happen in the world of sports logos and uniforms. Sometimes these things end up happening, and I am fortunate to get an early look at them. Other times, they turn out to be simply speculation or rumors.

Today someone claimed the Minnesota Twins are getting a new road alternate jersey. This doesn't seem too likely, but it is possible. Of course, I wouldn't give up an opportunity to mock up a potential uniform for my favorite baseball team...



I got a chance to see the Cleveland Indians' and Washington Nationals' new uniforms long before everyone else, but this time there isn't much hard proof. By the way, I like the changes, Cleveland looks okay. I prefer they keep things more consistent, but it still looks good.



PS- keep a look out for the new MLB Batting Practice uniforms as well!

Sabres New Jerseys Leak

The Buffalo Sabres will have a new road and new alternate jersey this season. The road is a white version of the home (previously their 3rd jersey). The new alternate is a tie to old time hockey in Buffalo.

I came across some images leaking the new jerseys. Enjoy!


And, they aren't too far off from my NHL 2012 Project...

Nighthawks Ready to Fly

The Omaha Nighthawks are preparing for their inaugural season in the UFL. Added as the 5th league's 5th team, the Nighthawks are hoping for a great season and strong fan support. Signing former University of Nebraska and NFL running back Ahman Green was a great first step, a move that earned quite a few followers. The team has also reportedly expressed interest in former NFL quarterbacks Jamarcus Russell and Jeff Garcia. Several other former Cornhuskers were rumored to be coming to Omaha.

Of course, the Nighthawks needed to put together an awesome logo set and some sweet uniforms. And, in my opinion, they did just that. Back in early June, I posted the team's new logo set. On July 28th, all UFL uniforms were unveiled. Omaha's set looks great, with a stealth theme to match the team's nickname.


The helmet is black, with a black facemask. The O/Nighthawk logo is on the sides, while the alternate logo is combined with a striping design on the top, down the middle of the helmet.


The home jersey is black with a simple piping design and the logo on the sleeves. The Omaha wordmark is on the chest. The road is a white version. Both are worn with black pants with the Nighthawk logo on the side.


And, for the record, I think the numbers are the coolest part. The outlines look sweet.


The Nighthawks kick off their first season September 24th (also the birthday of a certain Bmac fellow) at home against the Hartford Colonials. Hopefully Rosenblatt Stadium is ready for football!

Oh, and the proposed ticket design is amazing:

Omaha Nighthawks Unveil Logos

The UFL's Omaha Nighthawks have finally released their logo sheet! Here it is. I like the color choice, and the logos look pretty cool. I hope the uniforms look as good.

San Francisco Giants Leak: The Follow Up

Back in September, I leaked the San Francisco Giants new alternate jersey. Now, several months later, I have recieved confirmation that this is indeed what the Giants will be wearing as an alternate. It is even for sale at mlbshop.com. I guess I was correct!

Toronto Maple Leafs Concept, Part 2

As a follow up to my Maple Leafs concept, I made a visual model for the alternate jersey. Kenny Ryan from this past year's NHL Draft models the new alternate jersey. It's nothing too exciting, just a visual model to see how the jersey would look on a real player.

New Twins BP Uniform (Leak)

A while back, I leaked an image of the Twins new BP cap. Now I am showing the full uniform. Enjoy your sneak peek! (These have not yet been released to the public)

Twins Unveil New Logos and Uniforms

Today the Minnesota Twins unveiled new logos and uniforms. The change comes with the team's move into the new Target Field this coming season. The new logos are similar to the previous ones, with some minor changes. The new uniforms feature a modified wordmark, with the road set being brand new. There is also a new alternate throwback uniform.

The 2010 uniforms can be found here:
