SilverBullet1929 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I know this isn't a common answer but is Don Baylor a Rockie to anyone else like he is to me? I know of all his accomplishments as a player, and I'm not trying to shove them aside but, as a Marlins fan since 1993, even though I was exposed to some baseball before that, Baylor was the manager of the other expansion team Rockies and that's always been what I think about first when I hear his name. I'd imagine you'd have to literally be someone who got into baseball in 1993 to feel this way, or at least someone who was a 90's Rockies fan first before knowing any other baseball.

Don Baylor is an Angel to me, but I was 8 when he won the 1979 AL MVP with California. It all depends on your initial frame of reference. I also remember him going to the Red Sox and them immediately winning a division, and then going to the Twins and them winning the World Series, and I remember him going back to Oakland in 1988 and the A's winning a division.

Baylor was involved in three World Series in a row with three different teams ('86-88: Red Sox, Twins, A's) and not one of them was the Angels. Despite that, I, too, view him as an Angel primarily.

Ben in LA Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 On 1/9/2018 at 6:47 AM, WSU151 said: The main argument is you can't throw around words like "championship" and "title" without the division and league modifiers. By themselves, the words imply WS wins. Division championships are great if you only win them every 10 years or aren't expected to win them. But the Dodgers have won five NL West titles in a row, so there is a declining rate of importance to them. They're expected to win the division now. The pennant was great, and was far more important than winning the West. Now the next big celebration will be a WS ring. Exactly how I feel whenever I look at my Dodgers World Series cap. Nice to win those division titles, even better to finally win a pennant, but the city will explode (in a good way) if and when they finally win a World Series.

alecgoff Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 The modernization of the new opening day logo reminds me of the Redblacks. Very sawlike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Not a fan at all. The old one was much more patriotic looking; all it really needed was a darker shade of blue. This one looks like it's trying too hard to be modern and in the result, it looks like a god damned buzz saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 An opening day logo should be "fun". It's a celebration, the unofficial start of spring. It shouldn't be serious like a playoff logo. Fail.

It's been months since I've seen the retail guide but I believe there are at least two more alternate uniforms on the way and a few new hats (I seem to recall more patch hats than what we've seen so far). Some fun throwback stuff is on the way for Oakland. It's also worth noting that the new BP caps are intended to be used as alternate caps and worn during regular season games by a number of teams. Oh there's also a special event uniform that'll be unveiled next month I believe. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I don't know why anyone ever expects the Padres to go back to brown. It'll NEVER happen. The fans all want it, and the Padres are the dumbest, most tone deaf team in pro baseball. Rather than see them switch to brown, I'd be happier if they just contracted them entirely because they're utterly useless.

joekono Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 As Bill81361 referred to the fan survey, every time they bring up brown, the bring up poop. It's so childish. Let's bring up blood for red or maybe the Padres have it right....blue, because they haven't had it in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there’s some brown that is very, very classy, and we’ll see what the market tells us.” This seems like it's actually positive news, given his previous statements. He's acknowledging that "there's some brown that is very, very classy...". I believe this has been discussed before, but the brown they use now seems to have more of a drab olive tint to it. I can't tell if the original brown-and-yellows had this shade of brown, but these other uniforms have a much richer looking shade: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
