I guess it provides contrast against the navy jersey...but on its own, that hat isn't good. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Yeah I own a Marlins 2016 ST cap and I could swear I remember gray but maybe I'm wrong, I'll check when I get home but you guys are probably right. Sorry.

Jungle Jim Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I really didn't like the Dodgers raised helmet logo last year at all, but this one on the Cardinals helmet is hitting me somewhat better. I guess I'm just being an old fogey, but I wish they'd all just stick with shiny helmets and decals, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll remain pleasantly surprised every season the league doesn't decide to turn the batting helmet into a wild statement piece (like CFB helmet/hockey goalie mask) or billboard of some sort.

SFGiants58 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I'm all for making batting helmets look more like the caps. Heck, I wouldn't mind if flocking returned: The fabric-like fuzz is a nice touch, and it's a nice bit of evidence to show that 3D logos aren't exactly new.

The extra outline makes this look a lot better and more durable than the Dodgers' helmets. Could it be that there's an intermediate level of thickness, making the whole thing look less raised, since it gets to the same place in stages rather than just being a sheer drop off? Is it that the edges are rounded rather than sharp? Is it that this helmet looks a lot glossier than the Dodgers'? I don't know if the Dodgers were matte or not, but they never looked this shiny.

BBTV Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Never mind. Edit: i think the phillies could benefit from this treatment, so long as they don't go matte.

daveindc Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 The round edges on the Cardinals' raised logo is what makes a difference. It's smoother, and matches how the cap logo looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WavePunter Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 On 2/15/2017 at 7:34 AM, Silent Wind of Doom said: I wholeheartedly disagree on a few points. First of all, some teams... most teams have a third color. Secondly, while white may be slight on some uniforms like the Tigers' away and the Orioles' alt, I think a major point you're overlooking here is the cap insignia. The Tiger's home cap colors are navy and white. Here's my appraisal of the teams' colors. BAL - Black/Orange/White BOS - Red/Navy/White NYY - Navy/White/....Gray/....Red (It's just... weird. I know.) TB - Navy/White/Columbia/....Yellow (Columbia should be the team's secondary color, but instead is used to accent white on the cap and uniform) TOR - Royal/White/Red (Red really should barely qualify, but it is on the logo and they wear their national pride well.) CWS - Black/White/Silver CLE - Navy/Red/White (All silver got replaced with white in 2008) DET - Navy/Orange/White KC - Royal/White/....Powder/....Gold MIN - Navy/Red/White....Gold HOU - Navy/Orange/White LAA - Red/White/....Silver/....Navy OAK - Green/Gold/White SEA - Navy/Teal/White/Silver TEX - Royal/Red/White or Red/Royal/White (Depending on the day. Colors of the state flag.) ATL - Navy/Red/White NYM - Royal/Orange/White (Prominently featured in their blue alternates. Also meaningful as the colors of the city flag.) MIA - Black/Orange/White/Silver/...Blue/...Yellow PHI - Red/White/...Blue WAS - Red/Navy/White CHC - Royal/Red/White CIN - Red/White/Black MIL - Navy/Gold/White PIT - Black/Gold/White/....Red (Lessened, but still featured on the sleeve logo and their retired numbers.) STL - Red/Navy/White ARI - Black/Sedona/Sand/Teal COL - Black/Purple/Silver LAD - Royal/White/....Red SD - Navy/White/Silver SF - Black/Orange/Gold/Sand We can certainly agree to disagree, but to be clear, I'm not overlooking anything.. giving weight to white as a "cap insignia" color is like giving weight to a dark jersey's number color.. White simply stands out very well against pretty much all medium and dark colors, plus it's neutral, so it's a great choice for teams to add to help their cap logos "pop" more without adding additional colors to their palette.. You included AT LEAST 3 colors for EVERY team.. Imo, that shows exactly why white shouldn't be included in every team's official colors simply because they use it sparingly. And to your point, you'd have to include navy for Toronto (cap insignia), red for Milwaukee (primary logo), the second shade of red for the Angels (primary logo/cap insignia), grey for the Mets (alt cap insignia/alt jersey), grey/lighter orange/lighter blue for Houston (cap insignias/primary logo), and I could go on and on.. The point being that the use of white for visual clarity doesn't automatically elevate it to "official team color" status.. At least in my opinion... I just refuse to accept that EVERY team shares at least official color.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a number of possibilities for why this looks better, but I definitely think it does. The Cardinals' version is a raised rubber logo, while the Dodgers' version is a 3D-printed plastic material.. That's why the Cardinals' logo is so smooth and accurate looking, while the Dodgers' logos looks so rigid, sharp, and overly-precise.. It's also why they break so much.. I don't expect to see any of those issues with the Cardinals this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
