TheRicSlick Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Good god, the teal the D-Backs use now is beautiful. Why it isn't their primary color is beyond me. As for their old teal/green, it is far too dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't, actually. That's why I said words like "teal" are ultimately meaningless because they mean such different things to different people. Where you draw the line between aqua, turquoise, teal and sea foam green will be very different from where I draw it. Regardless, thinking that the Brewers were trying to cash in on the hot color of the moment is a severe misread of that particular rebranding. They were trying to go timeless, not contemporary.

SFGiants58 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Let's go with something a bit more official. Namely, team-specified Pantone codes rendered in sRGB per our old friend Colorwerx! While both "Northwest Green" and "Hunter Green" have similar red and green numbers, note how there's far more blue in the Mariners' shade (71 vs. 94). I'm far more comfortable calling "Northwest Green" a teal shade than the dark green of the '94-'99 Brewers (especially when considering how the Mariners' teal responds to sunlight and LED lights). Also, those Rockies concepts are a mixed bag. While I kind of like the scripts (doing something cool/innovative with the traditional baseball cursive script form), the rest of the uniform really falls flat. The team should try to be more colorful, not less. The wavy pinstripes, Taco Bell caps, and dark green pants are all big marks against the set. I'd also like to point out that the scripts look way too much like the NBA Christmas Day uniforms for comfort. Unless something better came along, I'd be cool with the Rockies either staying put or swapping purple and black's places in the color hierarchy.

I loved that look, but only after they tweaked it in 97. Less hunter green, and a better cap logo. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

I, too, think the 97-99 set was better...but if that set was still around today, I'm guessing a green jersey would have been used at some point...using this as a reference A little Notre Damey (in addition to the Motre Bame primary logo) but those colors (green, blue, gold) work.

In my opinion the best the brewers ever looked. A shame the same could not be said about the on-field product around the times these were worn then maybe, these would be remembered more fondly rather than that lame BIG look.

Make this trident alt with their standard colors. Heck, could even make a sleeveless jersey if they dont want to add a second navy or green alt jersey Go A's!

tubby34 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 anyone got a comparison of the marlins real through the years? did it go from light teal from 93-2002, slightly darker from 03 to 2008 and dark teal almost blue from 09 to 2011? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the brighter color scheme, to be sure, but if I advocate for a return to that old look it's because I dislike the current look so and because it's what the fans obviously prefer. Had the Brewers never dropped the 1997-99 uniform, which I think is the best they've ever worn, I wouldn't be supporting the BiG at all. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
