    I'm surprised those cheapskates were willing to spring for an actual billboard. I would have expected one of those spraypainted vinyl banners you see on bridges over the highway.

    I doubt they're going to throw back to an unused prototype, but I do like that idea and wish teams would actually do that sometimes.

    The reverse boycott drew about the same as the max capacity at the new ballpark in Vegas that Manfred is so excited about. That quote was straight out of the Mark Fabiani playbook, except it's even more unbecoming when it's the commissioner of the entire sport saying it.

    Wow. This guy doesn't just hate baseball, he resents the paying customers too.

    I don't think the design is bad, especially compared to the real Edge disasters, although I do think it would have worked better for a team like Nashville instead of the Caps. Certainly it's not an eyesore like this.

    Never mind, misread the post.

    No, and it's not even close when the 2007 Ducks, 2009 Penguins and 2016 Penguins exist. Vegas' gold jerseys actually look good.

    It was called JerseyDatabase.com and it's been offline for years.

    I can see the logic. The old uniforms had accumulated so many bad memories over the years, they were pretty much constant reminders of Wide Right and Music City Miracle. It's like the Falcons finally making a change a few years after 28-3, or the Lions rebranding after 0-16. The execution was just off because it was 2002 and everything needed to have side panels. It doesn't help matters that they immediately started wearing monochrome every game when the uniforms weren't designed to be worn that way.

    I don't necessarily love the Kelly-era uniforms either, I just think the red helmets were better than white. Getting rid of the blue pants in the '80s was a mistake since those at least separated them more from the Giants.

    The font on the Pirates' City Connect feels more appropriate for soccer than baseball.

    It's sad that we're all hoping for the Texans to look like the Bills since the Bills don't look like the Bills anymore.

    A Minnesota script that matches the Twins script would have been nice, and the Twin Cities alternate is rather dull. I also still wish they had the balls to switch to purple and gold, but I realize it's an unpopular opinion.

    The CFL just loves college football gimmicks from five years ago.
  15. Lights Out
    How about neither?

    I just watched the video and I don't get that impression at all. They even included multiple pictures of the shiny gold alternates that a lot of people hated at the time. Of course, there's no getting around the fact that red, white and blue were their team colors when they originally introduced the script.

    Hmm. The classic script is far from perfect, but I'm not sold on the modernization either. The K is very strange-looking and the crown dotting the i is too subtle.

    Honestly, my only big issues with this are where the sun/ball cuts off (it should be more fully visible like it was on the originals), the team name on the road, and the wordmarks not being outlined to match the numbers. It's so close to being a good modernization, but they've fumbled on the details. Since these are just a prototype, here's hoping they get one more round of refinement before they debut.

    I'm not a huge fan of the overall uniform (I think it would look better with red as the base color instead of black), but I'm surprised at how much I love that version of the wishbone C. Speaking of the Reds, I just saw highlights of their game against Miami last night and finally realized that the inconsistency between the script, NOB and number on the Marlins' throwbacks kind of bothers me. Particularly the random double outlines on the numbers. I think it would have looked better if the NOB and numbers were teal with a single black outline to match the script.

    Getting rid of the bandana pattern is a shame. The new uniforms look like a cheap catalog order by comparison, with the stripeless pants and all. Interesting that they're pulling a Georgia Tech with the two color-swapped white jerseys.

    I don't think it's a supplier issue, I think the problem really is the shade of brown. How brown it actually looks has always depended on lighting and/or weather conditions, whether it's Puma, Reebok or Nike.
  22. Lights Out
    That's already more passion than the Coyotes have ever inspired for anything.
  23. Lights Out
    I was just about to say how much better this looks than their current uniforms, but then I noticed the mismatched hem stripe.
  24. Lights Out
    I actually don't mind the black pants. However, I wish they would have kept the teal/navy/silver color scheme instead.
  25. Lights Out
    There's no fixing these uniforms. Swapping out black for silver actually makes them look worse, not better.
