No, this was clearly to fool people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, this was clearly to fool people.I am not sure you understand how concepts work. Concepts are created designs that are intended to look like the real thing, including presentation. Most concepts you have seen aren't as detailed as this. The whole point of concepts are about "what ifs" and this guy went with "what if there was an ad for the design I created?" So he did that and was very detailed. And as stated in the article, he created but did no promotion of it whatsoever so he didn't go around fooling other people. The people just got fooled themselves when they saw it and thought it was real. Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonFromMiami Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Yeah well, fakes like these and boards like this one, don´t go well together. Each time a new logo or uniform is posted, everyone will be asking "is this real or just a fake/concept" This person clearly made his concept look like it was real, by adding the text, therefore it was not a concept, he was trying to trick people, and it worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 When you try to make it as real as possible, the intent to trick people is always there. Hollywood has known this for years.I'm just glad that he cleared it up and admitted it was fake. You know how much money I lost because of his fake ad? $0. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That changes things somewhat. When I read the story yesterday, it was while he was still denying that the Twitter account was his. That is a whole different story. I still don't see anything wrong with creating the best possible fake ad. I personally don't like using a fake Twitter account to release them after that, though.

phutmasterflex Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 How is creating something that looks like it could be real not make it a concept?And yes, we should be asking every time something leaks if it is real or not. We can't take everything and assume it's real. Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_hwedel Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Can we start a petition to make the Mariners Sunday uniforms their primaries? They are lightyears ahead of their current set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lahaye7 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I have a feeling this is going to happen in a couple years. As much as I love the current colors, these are just as snappy (wait, snappy? ) I must still be sleepy. Can we start a petition to make the Mariners Sunday uniforms their primaries? They are lightyears ahead of their current set.

Tigers6884 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Can we start a petition to make the Mariners Sunday uniforms their primaries? They are lightyears ahead of their current set. No. I love the primary uniforms. While the alternates are a cool fauxback, the Mariners current home uniforms are beautiful. When I think of the Seattle Mariners, my mind instantly pictures legends like Ken Griffey Jr, Jay Buhner, Edgar Martinez, and Randy Johnson while also thinking of the Mariners today. When I think of those players, I think of the classic uniform that has tied those eras together. I think of The Double, Junior hitting nearly 50 home runs a year, the start of Ichiro's brilliant career, and the dominant pitching of Felix Hernandez. Blue and yellow is a color scheme that makes me picture the Milwaukee Brewers ball in glove Sunday alternate uniform and the failure of Seattle's first MLB franchise, the Pilots (who crashed their first and only year in Seattle). Northwest green/teal and navy blue is a color scheme that no other team currently wears or has ever worn in MLB history. To abandon one of the best uniforms in the big leagues today in favor of a silly alternate that's not designed for full time use would be almost as stupid as the the Rays abandoning their uniforms for their silly 70s fauxbacks.

jrodsep Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Can we start a petition to make the Mariners Sunday uniforms their primaries? They are lightyears ahead of their current set. Co-signed. But they should change from cream to white. Add a royal alt and a yellow one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafiaman Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Can we start a petition to make the Mariners Sunday uniforms their primaries? They are lightyears ahead of their current set. That is such a great look and I'd almost approve, but...As a fan of the Mariners since the late 1970's/early 1980's, I totally bought into the change to the current colors back in 1993 as a way to change the image of the franchise. And it worked. This is a great once-a-week uniform, but shouldn't replace the great color scheme as worn by Junior, Randy Johnson, Edgar Martinez, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynasty Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I would be fine with navy and teal or royal and gold; They're both great combos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
