Unused Logos and Uniforms
Ray Lankford replied to jhans203's topic in Sports Logo General Discussion
The letters looks very intimate colored this way. -
The jerseys themselves are pretty plain but I love the Flying Elvis tail as the pant leg striping.
-
The Chargers' true color is dark (or at least darker) blue. They've won it for more than 40 years, they wore it in their only Super Bowl appearance and it's what Fouts, Joiner, Winslow, Seau, LT, Gates and Rivers have worn.
-
Speaking of the Steelers, I love the rounded numbers and think they look immensely better than the old block ones.

Players in the "wrong" uniforms

Double points for the white-on-white Chargers look -
I'm not entirely clear on what the issue is. Yes, the alarm clock numbers are silly and the pewter seems excessive but those are hardly dealbreakers.

Also, he's a Falcon because that's where he was when Left Eye burned down his house. -
Teams should change uniforms every ~15 years or so. Not every team can be the Yankees or Packers and styles change so teams should be open to it. They should keep the same basic design elements but also change with the times. Ideally, this means different era of teams will have their own looks. One example is the Chargers, who have been blue and yellow and have had lightning bolts on the sleeves forever but their jerseys can be broken down into the Alworth era, the Fouts era, the Seau era and the Rivers era. And every jersey doesn't have to be perfect, as nostalgia will do the perfecting for them a decade or so later.

I could live with those jerseys with the Seau-era numbers. I just really hate when yellow and white touch on jerseys. The colors bleed together.
-
The navy blue provides some much needed contrast. Powder blue, yellow and white are all too soft together.

Maddon's as much a Ray as Bochy is a Padre. -

This is true. Lackey will always be an Angel. -

It's not a perfect analogy but since Maddon will probably always be remembered as a Cub, it's probably like Torre in St. Louis or Cox in Toronto. -
That was the old owner.
-
Green and gold then. You could even throw in dark blue as an accent color, kind of like what the Brewers had in the mid-90s.
-
You could argue for the Padres to switch to navy and red using that logic.
-
I'm a big fan of regional colors so I think the Brewers should switch to green.
-
I really hate the Rockies' look. If it weren't for the Dbacks (who would look pretty good without the red splotches), they'd be the worst in the league to me.

I think Konerko without the goatee qualifies. -
The new Twins uniform looks great in action.
-
I love Cleveland's blue jersey, which kind of feels like an unpopular opinion now.
-
I don't think players look necessarily better with high socks, especially since everyone wears them with big sneaker cleats now.
-
Its an alright logo, but anything's better than the stupid stick-in-rink (yes, even the orca is better). Agreed. I actually like the orca logo. I'm going to take you one further and say that I LOVE the orca logo.

I agree with the Cardinals uniforms being overrated but not because they are boring. There is something off putting about them to me. Maybe the cardinals on the bat make them a little too busy for my liking. For me, the issue is that there's too much negative space on the jersey. The St. Louis alt with the piping looks a thousand times better than the regular home and road jerseys.
