RootHouston Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I want to be patriotic and sport my nation's baseball stuff, but every time I look at the USA Baseball team's logos, I cringe. Firstly, the primary logo is way too busy and pointy. The italicized serif characters just scream 1990s too.I think the word mark logo is better, but seems a bit off because the "S" evokes the national flag, but the lack of stars in this logo seems off. These two logos also seem to have little to do with each other design-wise, and carry no real continuity.So what are your thoughts? What are the chances we'll see some new designs any time soon?

oddball Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Do we see anything new? Probably not. I've never been a fan of either, though the US-star logo is fine, but still cluttered and the "USA" stripes is... well... um... yeah... bleh. I would not be opposed to seeing changes.

Red Wolf Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I would love for the USA to make a change in its baseball logos. I really want a USA baseball cap. Except I don't like the current one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Not to be that guy, but I feel like USA baseball should go with a more classic look along the lines of this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 That reminds me an awful lot of the Dominican Republic's current WBC cap logo.

BrianLion Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I can't muster up the energy to care too much about this until baseball gets reinstated as an Olympic sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoffingYayap Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I prefer using a chest logo reminiscent of the WWII "HEALTH" patches used in MLB. My WorkFull MLB Concept (Plus Expos)The Modern Philadelphia Athletics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadSeed84 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Yes I think they do, the primary logo just looks like a spinoff of the 76ers iverson-era logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaydre1019 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Yeah I'm not a big fan of the 90s cap logo or the bacon inspired wordmark.And I'd love to wear a cap but not these. Mexico's are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RootHouston Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 I can't muster up the energy to care too much about this until baseball gets reinstated as an Olympic sport. The World Baseball Classic is a much better forum for international baseball than the Olympics ever was. Baseball was never really taken seriously in the Olympic Games, but this newer World Cup type of format that the WBC brings appears to be the most successful attempt at an international baseball tournament ever.

RootHouston Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Just a few examples of other USA national teams that are superior IMO. Not good when table tennis and synchronized swimming is showing up the national past time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soarindude Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Why are all of these so 90s looking? Did the US get a big update to all their logos in the 90s or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShlyKBMT Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I used to have a hat back in the 90's like this. It had the baseball and stars on the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome!I wouldn't worry about the Dominican Republic's hats looking similar. It's no different than the Yankees and Tigers, or the Nationals and Cardinals, or the Giants and Baltimore's "O's" caps.

Maybe it's related to the Atlanta Olympics or something. Like when you hold a big party and buy a new couch. http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes?

Discrim Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 One thing I always felt, USA baseball's script has always looked like a bad knockoff of USA hockey's logo. Somewhat more overdone and yet it wound up lesser for the effort. A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
