MJD7 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 This might be a somewhat bold opinion, but this simple color switch for the Rockies is one of my favorite uniform changes of the past couple years. It creates consistency and allows Colorado to be truly unique as the only purple team in the league, not blending in with the rest of the navy. The purple and black are also much more distinguishable, which is nice. I wonder what this might mean for the home with the purple pinstripes. Are they much more noticeable and clearly purple now with the color change? If so, I'd be happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Why are they still using the old purple on the CR logo in the lower lefthand corner?

twi Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Wow I love those new Rockie tops. An NHL team needs to get back into a vibrant purple NOW!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGiants58 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The way the numbers look on the back on the bright purple tops makes me question whether or not the Rockies should drop black altogether. The new purple would pair well with silver/grey and white. Concerns about "shade-matching" (which I assume was part of the reason why they initially adopted black as a base color) shouldn't be a problem anymore, given how consistent this new shade is throughout their identity.

aawagner011 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Another picture of the Braves spring helmets and I noticed something odd. The blue outline is a noticeably lighter shade compared to the helmet. It seems like a lot of the Braves print and digital files uses this lighter shade, though the game uniforms use the darker shade. Seems like they overlapped color schemes a bit. Should have just made the outline either clear or matched it to the helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BP caps with the white panel front and the all blue, both with the little A have been some of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shstpt1 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I wanted them to use the white front panel hat in a regular season game with the white jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterchaoss Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 So form it looks like the dodgers are going to have a blue alt this year according to MLB the Show 17 and the MLB shop, not sure how i feel about that.

Ray Lankford Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 At least it looks nice, even if the red numbers are pretty invisible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouj Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 The Dodgers blue alt should just be the regular season version of the Spring Training jersey. All the teams had that option last year, even if some didn't use them. Take off the FL/AZ patch, and all teams then had a new potential alt. The Phillies and Astros did this for certain. Several others as well, obviously, but those are the most prominent in my mind. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ Sands Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Did The Show add any new throwbacks or is it the same junk they've had the last few years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 The Rockies new purple is perfect. Absolutely perfect. The only thing is that (and this isn't new) their lettering looks like crap since it's silver with a thick black outline and then another silver (or white) outline that makes t so that some parts are just black and there's minimal silver. It's kind of muddy. They should just be solid silver with a thinner black outline to make it legible. I'd really like them to adopt a traditional script - I think it'd look great on the purple.

Yes on the solid silver with black outline (and lose the white outline). They should make the numbers on both sides of the purple jersey silver too, not black or gray. No on the traditional script.
