Fashion hat. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Orioles blind jokes are low-hanging fruit, but I've avoided the comparison. Nobody "wishes they were blind." Instead, us Orioles fans change the channel and find something else to watch instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigbazah Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 The Yankees and Dodgers are "boring" in the sense that their uniforms are not flashy, but they both have timeless looks. Simple is the classic aesthetic of baseball. I'd call that Cleveland uniform inoffensive, and I don't just mean in the political context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Akronite- Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I mean... Gray uniforms pretty much all suck. Not an excuse for how boring that look would is/be, but as long as it says Cleveland I'm not too bothered by it because the whites and alternates are far more important to a modern baseball identity. That being said, I'd like to see red text to liven it up a bit, plus a white stroke on the C, and we'll see what they do logo-wise next year. Not sure why they don't slap a C on the sleeve in Toronto like they do with holiday uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my part, I was conceding that some people found a timeless design "boring" because I still think it's preferable to following the latest temporary fad. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

This is simple/timeless: Simple block fonts, an uncomplicated template design, and making use of the team's traditional/complete color scheme. This is plain/boring/dated: The petcopark.ttf font that looks so 2004 and the neglect of the team's popular historic color schemes (brown/yellow, navy/orange, and navy/sand) make it dull. A more timeless, yet ornate font (e.g., a rounded slab-serif font, cursive scripts, etc.) and a more exciting color scheme (in line with their history) would be better. I'm not going to comment on the bowtie wordmark, as I'm one of the few people who thinks it's not too bad.

Sport Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 The Reds wore their red alternates on the road for what I think is the first time ever. They've only ever worn it for home day games. This is basically what they wear in spring training road games so seeing red tops on those gray pants isn't a first. What's new is the breaking the home/road jersey distinction barrier. Not sure if this will be a regular thing moving forward or if it's just trying to change things up late in another lost season. I kind of hope they keep it as a home day game jersey and don't become one of those teams that wears their alternates as much or more as their primaries.

Beeperino Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I think you're right that this is the first time for the Reds to wear the red alt on the road during the regular season. It will be interesting to see what happens going forward, including whether/to what extent there are changes in 2019. I could live with this look on occasion, but for me it only continues to accentuate how ridiculous those black-billed road hats are. If they're "switching things up" at the end of another lost season, I would think those would be the first to go!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're "switching things up" at the end of another lost season, I would think those would be the first to go!!! So I remembered that in 2013 they played a weird home game in San Francisco against the Giants as part of a makeup game. Looked it up and the Giants wore road gray, the Reds wore their red jerseys over white pants, which means they packed white pants for their road trip. You can clearly see they're in San Francisco in this photo. That's probably happened less than 10 times in major league history. edit: while in the field they wore the black BP hats. They probably didn't want to pack their home caps on the road trip so they wore the road BP hats they had already brought along? IDK. Weird game all around. I thought maybe they'd worn gray pants for that game, but those are definitely white. I could've dreamed this, but I think they wore the Los Rojos jersey on the road at least once, but I don't count that jersey anyway. So yeah I think this is the first time they've worn the red jersey for a real road game on top of their gray pants. The black-billed cap is probably the least necessary road cap in the big leagues, especially because they wear the red-billed helmets for road games anyways. Just go one more step and wear the all-red hats for every game! This has bothered me since 2007. Related: I can't believe they've been wearing these uniforms for that long.

Beeperino Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Indeed. That's why I suspect some sort of change will come in '19, especially with an anticipated 1869-2019 commemoration in some form. Hopefully Castellini won't meddle as much with the unis as he has with the roster, but I'm not holding my breath! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63Bulldogs63 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Got a look at the post season world series patches for this year. Assuming they're accurate coming from this source. It appears to not be the plasticy metallic material but full sewn using metallic and shiny thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Saw this today on the Unique Threads Instagram page. Early prototype of the White Sox 1990 jerseys: Most notable differences are the lack of pinstripes and the contrasting front numbers. Anyone ever see this before?
