Nike City Connect uniform set 2022 7.1

This is the natural extension of my attempt to bring Nike’s MLB City Connect uniforms to MLB 2K12.

Here you can download my 2021 City Connect uniforms too:

As with 2021 uniforms, I’m planning to be updating this set, according to the way The teams are revealing their respective gears. I’ve assigned extra slots coded “CTY” for every uniform. These are the uniforms so far:

1)      Washington Nationals Cherry Blossom flowers inspired uniform. Slot number 457 and uniform file “uniform_wan_cty.iff”. A lot of research and learning to bring this uniform. Remember I don’t have access to the official files for these uniforms. So I downloaded lots of cherry blossom and sakura flowers pics, in order to make my own patterns.

2)         Houston Astros “Space City” all navy blue uniform. Slot number 458 and file “uniform_hoa_cty.iff”. It features NASA like font for the chest script, players’ names and numbers too, yellow and orange gradients everywhere and a nice twist for the cap logo. This uniform looks great to me, with that “tequila sunrise” resemblance. But, to be honest, I guess this one represents exactly what Nike wants to do with MLB uniforms in the future, going away from the traditional scheme of white for home and gray for visitor. So, I’m not sure about how good that could be. It only misses the leg numbers.

3)         Kansas City Royals “Waterfalls” themed Navy blue jersey with sky blue accessories uniform. Slot number 424 and uniform file “uniform_kcr_cty.iff”. A bit tricky to make my own version of both main graphics, but I’m happy with the final result. Two details about this uniform: Front numbers are a bit smaller and located in a place higher than in the real uniform and cap logo is not HR, I had to make it on the cap graphic itself. These two issues are related to the uniform format limitations.

* I found the jersey blue tone was too dark. I've fixed this in V3.1 beside helmets bills that are sky blue.

4)         Colorado Rockies “Colorado License Plate” themed christmas green with white uniform, slot 433 and file name "uniform_cor_cty.iff”. Another one more challenging than expected. I made my own version of the Colorado plates numbers and used stock Astros road uniform as host, because of its thin and tall numbers.

5)         Los Angeles Angels “Classic Surfing” themed cream uniform, slot 435 and file name uniform_laa_cty.iff”. The little numbers on the front with that diamond background were the hardest part here. I forced Cubs road uniform low front numbers to their limit. That's why they look so separated. Nice color scheme for the Angels. I fixed the cap white panel, in order to make it work better for this and other projects too.

6)         Milwaukee Brewers "Brew Crew" powder blue jersey uniform. Inspired on Barbeque, beer and Baseball weekends. Slot 462 and file name "uniform_mib_cty.iff”. Uniform host is CHWS road. My recent Brewers update helped me a lot to make this one really fast. Cap logo is too wide to fit cap HR graphic. Therefore, this cap logo is low-res and there are some stains, because of the compression process. This release version comes with regular batting helmets, since I guess they suit this jersey very well and there won’t be any custom helmet for this jersey. Anyway, I am updating it if needed, after watching this uniform in play.

7)         San Diego Padres “Vibrant” colorful uniform. Slot 443 and file name “uniform_sdp_cty.iff”. Whatever you think about this one, I agree. There are still some inaccurate numbers shapes, but I had to rest my sight. Host file for this uniform was Brewers stock pinstripes.

To install these uniforms, just decompress all files in your game’s folder. And don’t forget to update the colors, from “2022-UM-CityConnectColors.txt”, in order to activate the uniforms, or you won’t even see them in the game. By the way, I recommend you to use exactly the version of “MLB2K12 Roster Editor 1.1.exe” that comes in the RAR file, because there is another version that looks exactly the same (1.1), but It crashes when importing some files.

Hope You like them.
