Its the same script, just rotated and with an underline, right?

The league doesn't allow guns or cigars on a one time only throwback but they allow a racially-offensive moniker to be used full time? WTF

Racially insensitive?

Using "Indian" to refer to Native Americans is considered incredibly racially insensitive.

Don't know if this has alreaady been mentioned, but the Tigers appear to have made a minor alteration to their wordmark:



NEW:

Don't know where this script is coming from. It's not in their style guide, not on their website, and it looks horrible.

The old scoreboard looked so much better... Well not the screen, but the rest of it. And they got rid of the clock too! Tut tut, for shame.

[miamimarlins]

that underline is so tacked on and unnecessary. ew.

Actually, that isn't true. According to the US Census Bureau, 55% of people who identified as indigenous preferred the term "American Indian," 34% preferred "Native American" and the remainder preferred other terms or had no preference; you would think, I guess, that we should listen the indigenous people of the Americas.

That picture of the new scoreboard is just a photoshop. We'll see if the new wordmark exists or is just an artist's idea.

The old scoreboard was horrible with two low res boards on the side and ads in the middle. The arched TIGERS is terrible and the clock was impossible to read.

[Magnum]

I think the old Tigers scoreboard was better for a couple of reasons. The lettering gave off an early 20th century vintage, but I can see that they want to "update" the look. Oh well, it is what it is now.

[Kramerica Industries]

The problem with the rendering is that it looks like a mixture of the Indians scoreboard and the Twins script font.

On itself it's an upgrade.

The new, pretty Mets BP's in action.





I guess they're not retiring #7 for Todd Pratt. Or Jose Reyes.

[Kramerica Industries]

All that makes me wonder is how R.A. Dickey will inexplicably dominate for long stretches of play, this time around.

[RedSox44]

God, those Mets BPs are beautiful.

[Bucfan56]

I've got a good feeling that they simplified the BPs and made them all one color so that they could use them as an alt in games considering they couldn't get the real blue alt approved in time for this season.

Not only that, but the term "Indian" to refer to indigenous peoples in the Americas wasn't meant to be offensive. Christopher Columbus, the schmuck, thought he was in India. So he called the people he came across "Indians." He didn't call them that to demean them.
So it's an inaccurate term and an incorrect term. It's not an offensive term, however.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I remember the Mets saying that was the plan when they were first unveiled. They did wear last year's ugly blue-and-black BP's in a regular season game as well.

Throw the logo patch on the left sleeve and add some orange piping, and you have your 2013 alternate.

And I'm sure that when the blue alternates come out next year, they will probably crap-up the BP jerseys, such as adding orange side panels, to diferentiate it from the blue alt.

What about the fact that their logo is the equivalent of putting a Chinese guy with yellow skin and thin eyes, calling him a specific word that begins with a "c", and finding nothing wrong with it?

^Wow, the Blue Jays look fantastic. The 3D stitching on the logo (puff patch) looks awesome.
