Happy to announce that this weekend begins BallFour's Tour Around New York.

 

In homage to my upstate NY roots, I'll be working on uniforms for the next couple weeks that are from all over the Upstate NY area. We'll start things off by finishing up the International League. Here's the Syracuse Chiefs. The Rochester Red Wings are up next, with custom created New York-Penn League uniforms coming. For now, enjoy the Chiefs!

We interrupt the NY-Penn League to bring you the Buies Creek Astros. I was able to confirm with their social media manager that these are what their 2017 uni set will be.

Next up are the Oneonta Yankees. I custom made these uniforms by using the "O" logo from the Oneonta Tigers and put it on the Yankees' pinstripes, then found an old Oneonta Yankees jersey and added the white outline around the letters.

Here are the Auburn Doubledays, a current NY-Penn League team. I've stayed pretty faithful to their current uni set, only adjusting the number font to match a more Red Sox style, because I've made them a Boston farm team in this iteration. In reality, they're a Nationals affiliate, but I liked the Boston look.

And now here are the Little Falls Mets. If you couldn't tell by my Shoutbox post, this area of NY is very near and dear to my heart, because it's where I was raised. The Mets were only in town until the late 80s, so I don't remember much of them, but I wanted to modernize their look. I opted for the normal home pinstripes and then a custom created road jersey script.

Here are the Utica Blue Sox. Based in Utica, NY, they were a NY-Penn League for quite some time. Once associated with the Phillies, Richie Ashburn actually used to patrol center field in Utica back in the 40s. The team lasted until the early 2000s, when they were moved to Aberdeen, MD and became the Ironbirds. For the uniform, I started with a Yankee base to keep the "Blue Sox" thing in tact. The home uniform is largely unchanged from what it once was in the Miguel Cabrera days as a Florida Marlins affiliate. The road uniform is a bit of a Marlin-ized version of the script they used in the early 90s as a White Sox affiliate. I've returned Utica to the Florida Marlins as their new Single-A affiliate.

Now we go from the NY-Penn League to a couple of AA Eastern League teams from the past. The first is the Albany-Colonie Yankees, which was a very easy mod, just changing around the hats and the front of the jerseys.

And the tour around upstate NY ends in Glens Falls, with the Glens Falls Tigers. These are period appropriate uniforms from their days as a AA Eastern League affiliate of the Detroit Tigers.
