Las Vegas Athletics uniforms

[Cruisin]

I've reached 2029 in my current save, which for me means it's time for the Athletics to leave Sacramento and head to their new home in Vegas. I didn't find a set of Las Vegas A's uniforms on the forums I liked, but a quick Google search brought me to a set of mockups designed by Kyle Tellier--you can see them at https://kyletellier.com/athletics. I figured I would make a set of uniforms in OOTP using these logos and concepts and share them here.
All the uniforms can be found in the Catbox link below, complete with road variations for the alternates. Hope you all enjoy.

I downloaded this off the steam workshop and the away uniforms are named wrong and wanted to bring this up. You do not use home and road in the name it is nothing and away so, jersey_Las_Vegas_Athletics.png and jersey_Las_Vegas_Athletics_away.png

Right now the away uniforms are named road. So just suggesting to rename the uniforms to the correct file name, so it is not jerseys_las_vegas_athletics_green_alternate_road but jerseys_las_vegas_athletics_green_alternate_away and not jerseys_las_vegas_athletics_road but jerseys_las_vegas_athletics_away and the same with pants and socks ect. and the home jerseys do not need home in the file name.

Some people might not understand how the names work and think it's a bug and then report it to OOTP that their uniforms are not working. But great looking jerseys nonetheless.

I put them on Steam since Cruisin' had not been on in a while. I can change it in two secs. "road" to "away" and drop the "home". Thanks, Twins!

Thanks Lands!

You can use an XML file in colors.xml for Las Vegas athletics that can specify whatever filename you want for each part of the uniform

How do I find these on steam? And how do I download them if I don't play through steam.

See if the link at the bottom of the first post (easy to miss it) still works. If not, I can get them to you as I have them.

I use Omnibus park which eriqjaffe created. I tried creating my own with ballpark creator but it didn't look nearly as good, in fact it looked much, much worse.

Excellent stadium.

Just FYI, I did an A's-specific version of Omnibus Park:

Looks great. I'm just diving into 26 for the first time. Any chance you might update it with the live scoreboard?

Thanks

can't get alternates to work

Has it been confirmed that they are staying the Athletics or A's anyway?

Maybe, and maybe not. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office rejected the Athletics' application for trademarks on "Las Vegas Athletics."

FWIW, they don't have to have the trademark to call themselves that. They don't even need it to win a lawsuit. It just makes it easier to, among other benefits.

I read a few articles on this a while back and I couldn't help but come away thinking that someone at the USPTO sees this as an opportunity to get a big bag of money (or cryptocurrency rather) and the A's just don't want to pony up. The USPTO's arguments really seem rather specious. I mean, sure, on their surface they may appear to be true, but I'd think if you had a truly impartial person deciding it that any decent lawyer could park semi-trucks in those arguments.

I'm no lawyer though so what do I know. But I'm certainly no fan of A's ownership either.

I did find it interesting to find out that apparently at least part of the reason why they refuse to call themselves the Sacramento Athletics is because they think it might hurt their case to win the LVA trademark. But given what I read about the refusal, I'd argue that the more locations attached to the Athletics nickname the more it should be okay to trademark themselves as the Las Vegas Athletics. It's really not the city name that should matter, it should be the combination of the nickname, colours, typeface, their history, etc. Where they actually play, or plan to play, should be incidental.
