Dynasty Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I'll admit... I like them more than I probably should, but I'll still take the current set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This uniform is in my Top 10. When I initially heard the Sale story, I was totally supportive of him, because I thought he had shredded these uniforms. An atrocity of a uniform (poorly reproduced by New Era and Majestic to boot) forever associated with one above-mediocre season. I wish it would die forever.

CS85 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 If they keep winning, they'll switch to these full time with a rebrand and make the black/silver the alternates that Sale will inevitably cut up.

Sport Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Maybe this is because I grew up in the 90's and 1993 was really the first year I paid attention to baseball, but the White Sox in anything other than black and gray is weird and wrong. There are 2 "Sox" teams in the American League and the White Sox thought it was perfectly acceptable for a few years to wear the same colors as the Red Sox. This hat, aside from looking like a lowercase e, is better suited for the Cleveland Indians. I had maybe 6 instances of "THEY USED TO WEAR WHAT?!?!" moments as I grew to learn sports and sports uniform histories. Two were that the Pittsburgh Penguins used to be blue, and the New Jersey Devils green both boggled my young mind. Another was that the Vancouver Canucks stick in rink logo was an actual logo a real team tried to use as a primary. The last three belonged to the White Sox when looking through my father's baseball cards. The red and white years feel wrong, they look like the Phillies, the beach towels were awful 80's trash, and then the script button up pictured above uniforms just feel like they belong to another franchise, ill-fitting of the one wearing the uniform - Baseball's version of the current Tampa Bay Lightning. I'm glad they've wandered out of the woods and settled on an identity. An identity that I really like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 It's ironic - the White Sox spent most of the 20th Century flailing around for an identity. And then they settled on a retro-inspired look, which they've kept for thirty years and which has served them very, very well. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

jrodsep Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 My first thought is that the Olympics are coming to Miami and they forgot to add three more rings to the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddthebucfan Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Everyone's gonna be thinking it, so I'm just gonna say it. The Mastercard logo makes it look like a nude man standing spread eagle. Shameless Self Promotion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GriffinM6 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I think it's a good logo other than the sponsor. I love the way the fin makes the top of the star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet1929 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I love the ASG logo and how they got the colorful Miami feel without overdoing it to the point of making it gaudy (as many feel the Marlins have done with a lot of their rebuild). This one is colorful yet still simplified enough. I'm also not 100% on board with the cutting of the stylized fish logo to form the top point of the star. As a Marlins fan who sees that logo daily it looks like the fish shape is broken. I'm thinking they could have left the fish intact (as it is on their caps) and you'd still get the impression of the overall star shape without sacrificing the fish shape. Edit: Literally a five minute edit just to see what you guys think about "finishing" the fish shape and still noticing the star shape... thoughts?

SilverBullet1929 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Still on the Marlins but not about the ASG logo... All season long I've noticed something off about the Marlins red orange jersey and the placement of its wordmark. I decided to look up pictures to see if I was crazy or if I was on to something. Seems like there's a definite issue here. The jersey used to have two buttons from the neck to the wordmark but this year it has three, which has forced the wordmark to be lowered. In the past the wordmark was on the upper torso, basically across the nipples. This year it's down to the middle of the torso, like on the top of the ribcage just above the stomach, appearing to be across the center of the player's torso. I've compiled some pics of the jersey from 2012-2015 to compare it to a few of the jersey in 2016. Take a look below. What's up with this? Realizing the Marlins wordmark is pretty bunched together with not much empty space, I figured this problem has to be occurring with other teams with thick wordmarks so I looked up the Braves, the Phillies, and others and they're all using the two button jerseys and don't have this problem. Why would the Marlins insist on using the three button jersey if the two button is still available? Any clue? Also, in case anyone is wondering, this is not happening with the other Marlins jerseys as the other three all use the Miami wordmark which has more spacing between the letters and is able to fit the third button in the gap between the first I and the A.

The Orange Jerseys and Hats (RIP) were my favorite thing about the new look, it's now shattered. I hate the marlins as much as they hate color, They'll be a black/white/gray team before long again... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBGKon Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Probably one of the better logos for an ASG of the past few years. Easily top 3 in the 2000's after St Louis in 09 and Anaheim in 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
