I feel like for a lot of these they don’t necessarily need to look snappy to people outside of the city or fan base. I have to admit that I think the original Marlins CCs are very in keeping with the vibes of the city and I like them the same way I like the 80s Astros or creamsicle Buccaneers unis. My biggest issue with the White Sox is that Reinsdorf won’t model any of them after their 80s unis which to me are iconic. The Bulls ones are… fine.
Ironically one of the best CCs I’ve seen in any sport were the ones the Bulls did a couple seasons ago that they modeled after the Carbon and Carbide Building. It’s here, the one from 2020:

The 2018 model is also tight; I don’t think any other city in the US displays their flag as loudly and proudly as Chicago does (can you even visualize another city’s flag?).
