SFGiants58 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Ahem, the only good powder blue road uniform was the Blue Jays. This is probably because the team took the extra effort to incorporate powder blue into their main color scheme while having royal blue on the scripts. The Phillies are a runner-up, if only because claret/powder is a beautiful color combination that needs more presence in North American sports. While maroon/grey/white is a good combo, maroon/powder blue (with powder as an accent) is also fantastic.

I did not like the placement of the Blue Jays logo. Otherwise I liked them in the 1980s. But you have a point that powder blue was closer to a part of their palette than anyone else's. (Then again, most teams don't have gray as part of their scheme, either) 25 minutes ago, SFGiants58 said: The Phillies are a runner-up, if only because claret/powder is a beautiful color combination that needs more presence in North American sports. This is why I liked the Phillies uniform. The color combo was just so nice. I find myself conflicted between my traditional love for gray and just how nice that uniform is. When the dumped the powder in favor a gray uniform, it was definitely not as aesthetically-pleasing, but it was more like a uniform ought to be. I tend to agree with @BringBackTheVet(either in this thread or the MLB thread) that the logo is a bit dated...it has 1970s written all over it. Still, though, I'd bring it back if I could. I don't think their current set has aged that well either...particularly the large sleeve numbers. The burgendy (or whatever it is) was unique. I know we're talking about a team that dates back to the 1800s and has had the same look since like 1990 or whatever, but if I were king, I'd bring back the maroon and the "P." Or, maybe a more "today" logo with the burgundy. I'd add some powder trim...maybe go "Detroit Tigers" with it and only add the extra color on the road. This would open them up to a powder blue alt, which, if done correctly, could become the best alt in MLB. It's a great scheme. Maybe the most under-used scehme in sports today. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

uuh70 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I'm heavily biased towards the era in which I grew up. 1990s were the best across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 The Hawks have the worst look in basketball, and it's not even close. The Pacers aren't anything special, but at least the current look seems like it fits the name. The Old Navy pinstriped unis were too old school for a team with a name like "Pacers." The Grizzlies could maybe stand to update their look, but it's fine for what it is. It's firmly middle of the road.

IceCap Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 As for the decade I grew up in... The 90s were a time of experimentation. The thing about experiments is that they don't always work. You need to learn to let the failures go. A lot of good came out of the 90s. A lot of bad did too.

The pinstripes were just plain ugly IMO. The Grizzlies have a very solid if generic look but I don't understand how someone could arrive at them being the worst in the league.
