Love the retexture man. I'm using pretty much all of the ones you've been putting out lately and they all look amazing. Just wanted to make sure you knew the logo on the back of the jersey is the official Minor League Baseball (MiLB) logo which is still a part of the MLB. I'd think if they found this they'd have the same issue they had with the Red Sox retexture from way back when. If you already looked into this and cleared it, please disregard.
just a fair warning, the red sox do have uniforms they use on occassion that just say "BOSTON" just like here in your mod... i'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade or get anyone in trouble, but I want to get the mod author fair warning
well it's the mlb they would have to deal with. i don't think the red sox would care themselves but its something that goes over their head, unfortuanately
the MLB does not own the name Boston. Plus this is written specifically in a different font then what the Red Sox use. very similar but still different. so I think this will be fine.
I know, I was just venting about how things that (I think) should qualify as fair use, like MLB mods that make give no profit to the mod maker, act as blood dripping into a pool of corporate lawyer sharks.
I'm hardly the first to bring this up, but I just feel like if devs are allowed to use place names and rough likenesses, modders should be able to create things that serve no other purpose than making a game feel more authentic to the devs', or our own, creative vision without reasonably affecting, positively or negatively, anyone's ability to profit from their inclusion.
The "Boston" named uniforms are not the white colored ones, as white is the home uniform and that simply states "Red Sox". No white uniform exists in the wardrobe that contains the "Boston" name, which essentially puts this re-texture outsides the realms of copyright law, regardless of font. Also, the on-file copyright image of "Boston" is of an upwards-curving name, and not that of a straight-line depiction of the word. Source Check the "Mark Information" and note the ""Instylized Form"
looks good in pics.. will check in game as well. Using a lot of your work as i think it is top notch. Question on this as i will not be able to see in game for a day or two.. are the additions as boldly saturated as the pics or is that a filter you are using? The reason i ask was comparing the red on the base uniform to the red on "BOSTON" for example.. either way it is welcome details, so thanks
