SilverBullet1929 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I have a lot of questions about the tones of the colors... Are the color tones all the same because I don't have high hopes for the Marlins using the correct Marlins shade of blue if in the pic it's the same tone as the other teams using blue. And I still don't get what about this says Little League baseball. At least all the other special event stuff has a clear reason and purpose... I'm struggling to understand this one.

Gothamite Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 From my understanding, the teams are all using one of a common set of shades (maybe the LLWS logo?). So doesn't seem likely that the Marlins will just happen to luck in to their particular blue. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

FGM13 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 What I don't understand is why some teams are using alternate logos and some aren't. What a mess. GO OILERS-GO BLUE JAYS-GO ESKIMOS-GO COLTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Rockies will wear their actual purple hats, I'd be okay with that. Why do the Nationals have a Texas Rangers star on their cap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigbazah Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Honestly, I like this theme more than the Mother's/Father's day alternates. The baseball symbolism is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colors are red, yellow, green, purple, blue & orange Funny...there isn't a single green hat in the set, although Oakland would really be the only team to have one..unless Tampa throws back.

How does having bright colors have baseball symbolism? You know what has baseball symbolism? A baseball game being played in regular uniforms.

BC985 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 The Twins celebrated their 1987 championship team yesterday with throwback caps but wore their regular home whites. Very nice sleeve patch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Man, the Twins current home set really is absolute trash. This is probably the worst they've ever looked.

SilverBullet1929 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 What's the point of doing throwbacks if only the cap is the throwback and the jersey isn't? Has that ever been done before? Seems ridiculous. Casual fans might think the Twins wore those home jerseys in 87, especially when you put the patch on them. Horrible idea.

Ok? What are you trying to say? Just because they won't really care doesn't mean the Twins should be conveying the wrong visual image of the 87 team. Or am I understanding you wrong?

Casual fans who have no idea what the Twins wore in 1987 are not the targeted demographic of the promotion. Throwbacks appeal to hardcore/nostalgic fans and uniform geeks. Yes, the Twins got it wrong, and only doing a cap for the 30th annivesary of the team's first World Series seems awfully cheap. But casual fans probably don't care one way or the other, and odds are, they aren't cognizant of the mistake. Casual fans aren't nearly as worried about the misrepresentation as we would think.

hormone Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I think the m twins hat is better than tc. Just my opinion. What's funny is, on here you get crucified for wearing a special uniform and not matching the batting helmet. If you don't think the twins are going to get heat for this half a-- job, your silly. I think the whole set would show how inferior the current set is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmejia Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 It seems like an unpopular opinion, but I love the addition of gold trim on the Twins home uniforms and think the road grays with Minnesota script are amongst the best in baseball. The Twins have a great identity, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
