kroywen Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 If we get both teams in blue alts for either game in Cleveland, I'm going to flip. And if the Cubs break the longest and most infamous drought in all of North American sports wearing those blue tops, it'll make the Cavs wearing black sleeved alts in Game 7 look positively good.

Really? At least the Cubs have had the blues in their rotation for a while. And the jerseys are In team colors, and they still look like the Cubs. Those black Cavs jerseys didn't even look like the Cavs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a disgrace for any team to win or play in alts in the postseason, let alone the World Series. Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shstpt1 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 That wasn't the point that I was making. They would still look like the Cubs, last years Cav team didn't look like the Cavs. There's a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed well personally I don't mind alts in postseason games but I wish there was a rule that limited how many times an alt can be worn in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Copy Clear infringement case is pretty legitimate. It was clear that they ripped off the shape and dimensions of the Cubs' C, and the text was placed in a very similar position to the "UBS" in the Cubs' logo. The one about the "W" logo is completely frivolous and asinine. They're not even a similar design, and I don't think I've ever seen the Cubs' W placed in a circle. This is pretty much tantamount to the Cubs saying "we're copyrighting every sans serif capital W." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Both of the Cubs' claims seem legit to me. The graphic in the article doesn't match what it actually says - the issue isn't about a white W in a black circle, but a sans-serif W used in conjunction with a baseball or other iconography that could remind one of the Cubs' "W" logo or otherwise cause confusion with the established Cubs' marks.

dsaline97 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Are the Cubs wearing grey tomorrow? Lester is the only one in the photo shoot not wearing the blue alternate, and he's pitching tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can swallow a potential grey vs. navy matchup, but royal vs. navy would be horrendous for the World Series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 I actually LOVE the Cubs blue Alta and think their grey set is about as meh as it gets. I hope they are in blue tomorrow. But, not if the Indians are in Navy. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Old School Fool Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Cubs blue jersey brings me back to when I was a kid and first got into Baseball at the height of the Sosa/McGwire HR chase. I love it. I say they should wear it early in the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yac12 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I don't mind the Cubs blue alt, but would like it more if it was a button down version of their 80s blue road uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kroywen Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I honestly find the Cubs' blue alt to look like a batting practice jersey, given its lack of piping or any adornments whatsoever. A team can designate a colored jersey as a primary, but I don't think it's officially happened since the early 90's. Though the Marlins famously virtually never wore their gray jersey in the first season after their rebrand (except for maybe one or two games).

Digby Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Cleveland is going with #RockRed as their social media rallying hashtag, which seems a little strange given that red is the secondary color for them.

I thought that all teams were required to have white and gray jerseys as official primaries, which is why the Marlins bothered with a gray jersey they never actually wore.

The Cubs' blue road jerseys and the Astros' cream road jerseys in the 80s are the obvious examples of that being true, but that was 30 years ago. Padres' sands kinda/sorta fall into that category too. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
