CaliforniaGlowin Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 That's the way I like it, both uniform and name. Current font is weird and looks like the Rangers. And stop clamin' LA! Last updated 2/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac the Knife Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Best damned look (and name) that team ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 To be honest, this is the look I always envision when I think about the Angels. It’s the look I grew up with. But it’s not a good look by any means. The workmark is inferior to every other version they wore, excepting only the Disney debacle. The logo is like they ran every other logo in their history through a machine designed to drain it of all character. And let’s not even get into “California”, a transparent attempt to cater to the racism endemic in the Orange Curtain of the day. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

CreamSoda Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Watching the game last night, it looked sloppy. Then the Rockies pitched in the 8th, then it was sloppy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're right, let's not get into it. The late-80s logo with the thicker halo has far more character than the early-80s version does. But I'd rather take the 60s look with the intersecting LA (or CA) and halo top or the mid-90s look any day. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

MilSox Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Great look and name to occasionally throw back to, but I'm not here for talk of bringing either back permanently. For all the flaws with the Angels branding themselves as LA, it still makes more sense than literally every other option. In hindsight, it probably would have made more sense to name the team after the Hollywood Stars from day one (especially when that's the team Gene Autry was part owner of). Maybe we could have eventually bought California Stars or Anaheim Stars, but the Angels name really only works when it's tied to LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliforniaGlowin Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I actually like California Angels. Yea it's out of date but it just has a flow to it. Last updated 2/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 No, the schwa at the end of "California" and the A don't flow together well at all. "Los Angeles Angels" has a much better cadence. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also prefer Anaheim Angels, with Los Angeles as a close second. Let's remember that it was the ANAHEIM Angels that won the 2002 World Series (Dusty Baker is baseball's Marty Schottenheimer).

HeyNineteen Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I love these uniforms/logos. The tall, sharp-edged A with gold halo, and the California State patch are good stuff, imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
