Never understood why the style guide is so secretive. Maybe there's certain things that the general public can't see but as far as uniform parts I don't see what harm would be done by just showing us the uniform parts. In theory if everyone who has to follow the style guide is following the style guide then there's nothing in the style guide that we can't see. If that makes sense.

I'm with you, I don't get it either. I think it's more frustrating for users of this site because most of us understand it isn't a fight to have with SCEA so we don't have direct line of site of those who put it in place.

I feel like the devs would get less heat here if they could say "look THIS is what the style guide shows so there's nothing else we can do, sorry." Instead it's a constant struggle to figure out what's in the style guide and what isn't and what can be tweaked and what can't.

A perfect example of this whole style guide convo is with the Rockies black alternate. One year they have purple sleeves, then its changed to black the following year, next year it's back to purple, now this year they are back to black sleeves. And each year the explanation is, that's what's in the style guide.

Exactly and I highly doubt the Rockies change the damn thing every year. The problem has usually been teams don't update the guide at all and apparently the Rockies update it every year the wrong way? I'm not buying that.

I always assumed the reason the styleguide isnt readily available to just anyone was so as to try to keep it out of the hands of as many merchandise counterfeiters as possible.

The Rockies Black Alt. Jersey has black sleeves I just checked 10 seconds ago.

Yes. I was just saying the past 3 years or so the sleeves have changed in the game every year.

Ramone... Any chance to update colors of some of the Alternate jerseys?

For example... Giants orange alternate, all teams with red alternates to match the Twins red alternate color (That one is perfect), etc.

They are in art freeze, so they won't be updating any more colors. I kind of wish they had done this stream near the begging, that way they would have had more time to get feedback to make these changes.

Art freeze occurred in the past week. Nothing else will visually be changed for '17. The game is nearly complete so it's too late now to alter things like that.

Work on it for next year. Post real life shots in different lighting situations versus in game screen captures. This helps the art team.

May not be a big issue to you, but your opinion does not outweigh mine. Some folks really enjoy having that combo and it sucks to not even have that option.

Please point out to me exactly where I stated that my opinion matters more than yours, and I will issue a formal apology. I never said that. I simply stated a fact, and then explained that SCEA has their own reasons for not having it in the game. It could be time restraints, it could be legal reasons, it could simply be that SCEA hates the Rangers. There is a method to their madness though...

In my personal opinion (that certainly matters no more than anyone else), SCEA has gone all out for uniforms this year. I have seen them engaged with this community, but not to this level this year. They have made crowd sourced color changes, they have added slots, and it is still not enough for some members on here. Just because the devs post on here doesn't make them our personal slaves to change every single detail to our liking. It is an honor that they join us, and I think we all need to be reminded of it. I would hate to lose that connection because of an undershirt color, or an old team not having their uniforms in the game, etc...

Just for accuracy sake, they didn't add slots. They just took slots away from teams like the Yankees and Tigers and gave them to the teams that needed slots to add the extra jerseys.

Minor complaint but I hate the fact that both the reds throwback unis are from an extremely long time ago,'14 and '34. So no Big Red Machine and I would really like to see the mid 90's home vest with the White cap.

It's funny, someone asked on twitter about this jersey, guess what the response was....it's not in the style guide. However, we know throwbacks aren't in the style guide...hence the constant back and forth/confusion.

If I remember correctly, they have to get individual licenses for throwbacks.
