What’s Inside This Collection
The Team Logo Pages, All 30 Franchises
The collection includes every current MLB franchise: Arizona Diamondbacks, Atlanta Braves, Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Indians (now the Cleveland Guardians, more on the name below), Colorado Rockies, Detroit Tigers, Houston Astros, Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Los Angeles Dodgers, Miami Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers, Minnesota Twins, New York Mets, New York Yankees, the Athletics, Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates, San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants, Seattle Mariners, St. Louis Cardinals, Tampa Bay Rays, Texas Rangers, Toronto Blue Jays, and Washington Nationals.
The New York Yankees Logo, the interlocking NY monogram, was designed by Louis B. Tiffany in 1877 and adopted by the Yankees in 1909, worn during all 27 of the franchise’s World Series championships, the most in MLB history. The Boston Red Sox Logo, a pair of interlocked red socks, has stayed essentially unchanged for decades. The Los Angeles Dodgers Logo uses a script in the same style as the club’s Ebbets Field-era Brooklyn uniform, a nod to the team’s Brooklyn origins from 1890 to 1957. The Seattle Mariners Logo features a compass rose in navy and teal, a color introduced in 1993 that was unprecedented in MLB at the time. The St. Louis Cardinals Logo depicts two cardinals with genuine ornithological accuracy, worn during 11 World Series championships, second only to the Yankees. The Athletics Logo, the A’s script in Kelly green and gold, represents a franchise that has played in Philadelphia, Kansas City, and Oakland, and now plays its home games in West Sacramento while a new ballpark is being built in Las Vegas.
The Players, Legends, and Rising Stars
Ken Griffey Jr. played from 1989 to 2010, primarily with the Seattle Mariners and Cincinnati Reds, hitting 630 home runs and winning 10 consecutive Gold Glove Awards in center field. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2016 with 99.3 percent of the vote, the highest percentage in Hall of Fame history at the time. Clayton Kershaw pitched for the Los Angeles Dodgers for all 18 seasons of his career, retiring after the 2025 season with three NL Cy Young Awards, three World Series titles, and a career record of 223 wins against 96 losses. Bryce Harper is the Philadelphia Phillies’ right fielder, winning the NL MVP in 2015 with Washington and again in 2021 with Philadelphia. Jose Altuve is the Houston Astros’ second baseman, one of the shortest players in the league at 5’6″, with seven Silver Slugger awards and the 2017 AL MVP. Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels has won three AL MVP awards and nine Silver Slugger awards. Elly De La Cruz of the Cincinnati Reds made his MLB debut in 2023 at age 21, distinguished by his combination of speed, power, and a 6’5″ frame at shortstop. Charlie Blackmon of the Colorado Rockies and Lorenzo Cain, known for his 2015 World Series run with Kansas City, round out the collection, alongside Joey Votto, the longtime Cincinnati Reds first baseman.
Template and Puzzle Pages
The MLB-themed Birthday Card Template and MLB-themed Puzzles are the collection’s functional craft pages, designed as starting points for projects rather than standalone illustrations. The birthday card template accommodates any team’s colors, working equally well for a Yankees fan or a Dodgers fan.
What These Pages Actually Do
Baseball rewards deep knowledge in a way few sports do. Coloring pages that feature player portraits, team logos with their historical context, and realistic uniform details create natural entry points for the conversations that build that knowledge, whether that means the story behind a logo or the numbers behind a player’s career.
Team logos build brand literacy and geographic knowledge, since the 30 MLB franchises are spread across cities from Seattle to Miami and Denver to Toronto, and a child who can identify all 30 has learned something real about North American geography.
The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies fine motor skill development as a core benefit of structured coloring for children ages 2 through 7, and the detailed logo and uniform work in this collection provide exactly that kind of sustained, motivated practice.
A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions. Baseball’s long season provides a similar rhythmic, calming presence from April through October, and these pages extend that presence into a creative, tactile activity.
How to Color MLB Pages Well
- Team colors are specific: Yankees navy is very dark and cold, almost black in low light. Red Sox red is warm and slightly orange-tinted. Dodgers blue is the specific royal blue known as Dodger Blue. Cardinals red is bright and vivid. Mariners teal is a distinct aqua-teal.
- The Yankees NY monogram needs geometric precision: work from the outer edge of each letter inward, establish the dark navy field first, then add the white gaps between the letterforms last.
- The Cardinals logo has a real bird in it: Northern Cardinals have vivid all-red males with a distinctive crest, so the bird and the script lettering should match in hue and saturation rather than reading as generic decoration.
- Player portraits combine a human face with a specific team uniform. Establish the uniform’s proprietary color first, then apply skin tone in at least two layers, a lighter warm base and slightly deeper shadow tones under the helmet brim and along the jaw.
- For the birthday card template, choose team colors before starting and apply the primary color across the whole template before adding secondary colors and details, for visual coherence.
