Here comes another insert set for this year’s Clubhouse line. I’ve never done a league leaders set before so this is a first. I wanted to feature the top-10 finishers in double, triples and homers but with ties it ended up being a 38-card checklist rather than 30. Surprisingly, Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani would be the only repeats amongst the three categories. Here’s a look at the design.
Each category swaps out its shorthand in the bottom right corner, making it easy to differentiate the stats. The players’ tally is solid to the left of the big stat with some team color behind it to add some contrast. Above a white line slashing through the big stat is the player name over the other team color. And just behind the player is the “LEAGUE LEADERS” title at the top.
The diagonal elements work well with the rest of the Clubhouse designs for this year. And I always like to find a way to incorporate team colors into the proceedings. I tried to pick action shots that illustrate the category pretty well, hence the big follow throughs on the HR cards and running/sprinting on the 3B cards. It was also nice to do a card for guys like Will Benson or Ezequiel Tovar who don’t otherwise get a lot of love.
