MJD7 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 15 hours ago, SFGiants58 said: I think the Twins should get a more radical refresh. One that produces a new "TC," totally removes the "M" logo, and one that unifies the home/road look. A slightly tweaked version of this concept by @the admiral is basically what I'm talking about: I'd clean up that "TC" logo and make the "Twins" script better match the "Minnesota" script, but Admiral's color balance (really differentiating the Twins and Indians, without altering their color scheme) and uniform design are basically what I'd want out of the team. Of course, Twins fans often freak out whenever anybody considers replacing the original "TC" with a new "TC," thinking it to be on the same level as any other classic interlocking letter logo (here's the scoop: it isn't). I actually like that TC, I would just make it dual-colored. If they were to use it, it also would make more sense if they had the same current 'Twins' wordmark to go with it. I'd say pick one or the other. I'm personally not a fan of the pinstripes, in part because I don't like them in general. I do really like how the white wordmark looks on the navy jerseys though. Overall, I'd be fine with the Twins being predominately navy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 The w and i on that old Twins script look like they're trying to get away from each other. I really don't like it. The 87/91 championship uniforms were great, especially the road pinstripes. Yeah I said I liked road pinstripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glover Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Random question, and I didn't want to start a separate thread to ask this, but does anyone know if a place to purchase the letters & numbers used on the replica jerseys? I've got a few blank jerseys, but it seems most team stores don't customize unless the jersey is purchased through them. And I'd rather not get a replica jersey customized with the legitimate tackle-twill that you see on field, especially since the replicas have the screen-printed tackle-twill look. Any leads or information is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenTino Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I was happy with the work done by ExclusivePro.com years ago. Not the fastest service, but the quality of work was top-notch.

I've always heard this thought that the teal changed but I've seen no proof of that and I've been going to Marlins games and wearing Marlins merchandise since 1993. The one thing that seems to make people think this too is just how different the quality of video and photographs were back in the 90s compared to now. So because of that the coloring is off. Do a quick search of the 93 Marlins and you'll find very different looking hues of the teal, some look green some look blue some light some dark etc etc but they were all the same. And lastly even if the color changed in the end, it definitely wasn't blue, it was still a light blue-green color and I wouldn't call it just blue at all. Did a quick search of 93 Marlins pics, check out the differences. I believe the most accurate hue is the one in the bottom center pic of Conine and Santiago high fiving... Hang on- I'll show you what I mean. I got to pull my jerseys out of storage. It wasn't the same teal from even 2003 to 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team sells their caps in colors from black to white and everything in between. They don't have to muddle their on-field identities to promote those fashion caps.

I took a quick glance through multiple sections of the Stance store website, and the most expensive I found was $45 in the premium dress socks section, but most of their stuff, including all their MLB socks, are in the $20-$24 range. Still a bit pricey for a pair of socks, but it's team branded, so it's gonna be more than typical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example they have a couple of different box sets for their Star Wars socks that both run for over $100 and last I checked they have an on-court box set collection for the Cavs which includes five different pairs of socks and runs for $99.

I've dealt with them before with my authentic jerseys, very happy with them. But do they have the "tackle-twill graphic" letters like you see on the replica jerseys? That is what I was asking about, my apologizes for an unclear post. I have blank replicas, so wanted to find the same letters they use on replica jerseys for the back of the jersey, for consistency. Edit: like what these letters/numbers are in the auction below. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2015-Kenny-Lofton-Cleveland-Indians-Home-White-Cool-Base-Jersey-Mens-/391179533352?var=&hash=item5b141dfc28:m:muR7LKdVsCnVYKx9AS3U4mA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hormone Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 What's with all these players wearing white cleats? I thought only the Oakland A's and the All-Star teams wore white cleats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was best example on a quick search, and it's really hard to see...but if you look at the Y, in between the piping, you'll see rectangular stitching, which is where the velcro comes together. This is kind of better (just coincidence that both are of Leiter) The White Sox used Velcro on their jerseys as far back as around '95. You'd see a slight outline of single-row stitching for a small rectangle of Velcro. I only ever noticed it on the black jerseys because the white had the pinstripes and the gray had the script covering that area. Eventually (I think in 2000) they moved to evenly spaced-out buttons on the white and black, since they didn't need the empty space for script in the middle. I'm not sure if they still use Velcro on the grays or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rule is you have to wear the team color selected by your team, they have to do be a majority of that color. A's are only team to designate white cleats as their color.

BC985 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Even though I yearn for the days when the Marlins wore teal, I really do like their current road greys. The white wordmark on a grey uniform really works for me here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, it was just a few years ago brian wilson would have to color his cleats with sharpie to make it 90% black or whatever the percentage was supposed to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet1929 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Why are the Mariners using the slogan True To The Blue if they use 2 shades of blue and their most recognizable color is teal? I dunno, I know it still fits but out of all teams that wouldn't have been the team that I'd expect to use that slogan. Maybe the Dodgers, Royals or even Cubs.

It's the right balance of them wanting to use black and wanting to be colorful because the gray is a perfect base for that. The white wordmark is a fabulous touch. You'd never think a white wordmark would work on a gray jersey but this one shows it can. Makes me wonder if any other teams could do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
