Bill813 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 More info releasedhttp://www.masnsports.com/school_of_roch/2011/10/changes-coming-to-os-cap-and-jersey.htmlAccording to a source, the logo won't replicate the birds from the 1970 and 1983 caps, but it will be a variation of the two, taking certain qualities of both to create the new cartoon image.These caps will be worn as part of the regular uniform, rather than being an alternate cap.Also, the road jerseys will include a slightly modified script, with the letters spelling out "Baltimore" no longer tapering off at the end.The home and road jerseys will include a patch on the right sleeve commemorating the 20th anniversary of Oriole Park at Camden Yards.The Orioles are expected to make an official announcement on the changes in mid-November.

JayJaxon Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Those all sound like good changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 All do sound like great changes. I'm wondering if the Baltimore script will look more height-wise like this one,rather than what they have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 We've seen the anniversary logo, which is apparently the same as the patch:Great news about the road script. That's bothered me since it was unveiled. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesfan16 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Good job on the script Baltimore. I'd still rather have the real bird and not the cartoon, but I'm going to wait until I see it before I make a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Excellent. I'm reallly glad they are fixing the Baltimore script. I think they could do little things to fix the bird head, such as adding a black outline on the lower beak. I hope they use placket piping. This was a great look.

This was a great look.That look is so good they should make a statue of it.I know, they used the home uniform, but the point about Brooks remains the same.

HighCheese Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 so they will wear the cartoon bird on the hats, but their current logo won't changei dont think i like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they could do little things to fix the bird head, such as adding a black outline on the lower beak. I hope they use placket piping. This was a great look.The road jersey script in that picture is perfect. As for the caps, I'm advocating for a return of the white panel caps at home, and the black cap with orange bill on the road. And who knows...maybe if they put an orange alt jersey into the mix they might bring back the orange panel cap as a special treat? From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo.

Lights Out Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I prefer the current Baltimore script, it matches the Orioles script better. Regardless, glad to see that the cartoon bird is coming back! POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Boy, that Brooks Robinson photo is sweet. That's EXACTLY how the Orioles uniforms should look. I mean, if you're in the Orioles front office, don't you want your team to look like it did when it was a winner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erlovepuck Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 so they will wear the cartoon bird on the hats, but their current logo won't changei dont think i like thatNot following, where are you getting that? Seems like they're saying there's going to be a new cartoon bird. Apologies if I'm missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Extremely. so they will wear the cartoon bird on the hats, but their current logo won't changei dont think i like thatNot following, where are you getting that? Seems like they're saying there's going to be a new cartoon bird. Apologies if I'm missing something.no, I got that as well. New cartoon bird, incorporates elements of old cartoon birds, nothing about keeping the current logo in any capacity. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Windstorm Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 The current bird is probably my favourite MLB cap logo. I wish they would keep it and just use the white-paneled hat as an alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill813 Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 A club source confirmed, however, that the Orioles will sport the cartoon bird hat throughout the year except once a week ? likely Fridays ? when they will wear the alternate "O" hats and black jerseys as they did in 2011. The 2012 cartoon bird will be a combination of the 1970 logo and the 1983 one, but may resemble the older logo a bit more.http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/blog/2011/10/cartoon_bird_making_a_comeback.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the best Baltimore has ever looked. I'd love to see a return to those very socks as well. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
