Today is one of the most boring days of the year — the Thursday after the MLB All-Star Game, when there are zero games on the schedule and no games from the day before to discuss. It is, however, the perfect opportunity for me to post my 2024 Clubhouse All-Stars design, featuring members from last year’s midsummer classic.

Going off the vibe of the 2024 Clubhouse base design, these All-Star cards are clean but bright. Like I’ve done in the past, I used both blue and red in the design but swapped them on the AL and NL cards, respectively. (Mostly because I can never remember which color is “traditionally” associated with each league.) There’s a shiny, refractor-y star pattern along the top border to make these stand out in a pack. I think my favorite item here is the notation in the bottom right corner showing how many times each guy has been an all-star selection. Super satisfying.

With the 2022 MLB All-Star starters being announced last Friday and the All-Star Break coming up next week, it seems like a perfect time to share my design for the 2022 Clubhouse All-Star insert.

These of course feature the dudes that made the 2021 All-Star squads (in case the post name was a bit confusing). I went for something different than the usual “star” motif that I’ve used in All-Star designs in the past. And instead of having the leagues designated by strictly either red OR blue, this design features both colors equally for both leagues, just changing up their placement in the design to help distinguish between the two teams. The diagonal boxes add some movement to the design while the foil board/chrome space behind the player cutout makes things shiny as nod to these players being stars. Add in the player overlap and these end up being dynamic considering they’re basically just made up of geometric shapes.
