People here adore the Germanic Brewers identity (both the "MB" and "M" versions). I've lived in Milwaukee for the past few months now, and I have yet to see anybody selling or wearing anything from the Germanic years (compared to the abundant amounts of BiG and current merch). Not even 1990's-loving hipsters will touch it, which I find strange. There are also some of us on here who love the Islanders' Fisherman set, while most people mock it and associate it with the darkest time in the Islanders' history. The Cowboys' home uniforms are routinely mocked around here, but are largely beloved or tolerated by the public.

The Broncos navy/white set is their best combo, and should still be their primary home uniforms. There's enough orange on the set to differentiate them from the Bears, they're paired with Superbowl success (at least this uniform style), and they've outlasted all of their imitators (on the NFL, college, and high school levels) to the point where they've become modern classics. Their "dated-ness" has given them a kind of character, one absent in the "Orange Crush" uniforms. It's also a great example of how to achieve a modern football look, with only two "gimmicks" (the swoosh panels and the helmet stripe), a powerful logo, and a legible proprietary font. Other modern looks try to cram too many gimmicks into their uniforms (i.e. the Titans' mixed stripe styles and weird font, the Browns' semi-illegible numbers and the pants, just about everything on the Buccaneers' uniforms, and the Jaguars' stripes and helmet), while the Broncos keep things relatively simple. That's why they've endured for so long, and that's why I think it'd be bad if they went back to the "Orange Crush" uniforms and logos with minimal modernizations.

That's not a bad idea, but dark blue should probably be a light blue, so it doesn't look all muddy. I still think Royal/Yellow is better (and still unique), but to each their own.

Of course you could. But that goes against the point of diversifying color schemes. Royal Blue/Yellow would still be unique, and Green/Yellow wouldn't be.

The history of the American Association Brewers with blue would make me defend blue/yellow for the Brewers. Besides, the A's should be the only green/yellow team.

I wish more baseball teams had followed Charlie O. Finley's example and diversified their color schemes in the 1960's. These color changes wouldn't be nearly as drastic as the A's, but would be enough to prevent the navy/red or royal/red overdose we have today. Some examples of this would be: Red Sox: Forest Green (to tie in with the Fenway deco)/Red Twins: Navy Blue/Kelly Green, Royal Blue/Kelly Green, or Forest Green/Powder Blue Indians: Red/Brown Braves: Black/Red/Yellow-Gold (for accents) Royals: Purple/Yellow Rangers: Blue/Silver or Blue/Bronze I wouldn't want any of these teams changing their colors now, but I still think it would have been interesting and visually refreshing to see more teams take advantage of color TV in the same way Finley did with the A's and other teams did with their initial color schemes (Pilots/Brewers, Padres, etc.).

You guys are using the wrong Cardinals logo. That one is associated with several big playoff runs (including a Superbowl appearance), and only one franchise location (Phoenix/Arizona). This one has less winning behind it, and is associated with two separate locations (St. Louis and Phoenix/Arizona):

Well, we've got another unused St. Louis Blues uniform.

My solution to the Braves' jersey clutter trouble (shameless self-plug alert) was to restore the contrast-colored tomahawk to the set. I think it makes it look a little better, along with the thinner placket trim I used.

I do like the attempts to salvage this template (like this one by bkknight95): Note that the Victory Green that doesn't bleed into black and how the numbers are raised out of the way of the striping. There's still the issue with the logo, but I'm not sure that could really be rectified. Still, it's a nice refinement of the '99 Cup set.

Dave "The Cobra" Parker as a Brewer:

I guess this is now a wrong uniform:

I like metallic bills on caps, like these ones: Contrast-colored bills are a fantastic way for teams with metallic colors to really showcase said colors.

Pictured here is my favorite Blue Jackets look. While the black may look out of place for some, I think it adds a much-needed punch to the sweater (one that the current phantom yoke doesn't provide). I also like the prominence of the stars and the proper hem stripe, again adding to the refined boldness of the uniform. I would love it if the Jackets revived this and made a matching white version (with navy replacing black), provided they replace the "Jackets Blue" logo with the kepi or cannon logo.

The Royals' championship celebration uniforms gave them an excellent way to avoid looking like the Dodgers while preserving their color scheme and not using drop shadow. Emphasizing metallic gold as the primary script color (which no other team does) can really set them apart. All I'd do would be to put a gold outline on the front number and NOB. Simply carry this color distribution over to the road jersey, and the Royals could really corner the market on the metallic gold scripts (provided the Brewers shift away from metallic gold). Then again, if it were up to me, I'd have had them dressed in purple/yellow since 1969 (I love that color scheme, and I would love to see a baseball team wearing it).

Big Time Timmy Jim, playing for the Angels. Seeing him in the uniform, in action, it doesn't feel as "wrong" as I thought it would.

While I do like the Tuscan font "New York" on the Mets' road uniforms, I think the best option for their road script is a cleaned-up version of their 1993-94 road script. This "clean-up" involves removing the tail, white outline, and tilting it to better match the home script: This is the best option, if they were to try and match their home and road scripts.

I'm usually against recolors, but the Pistons made it work. This is mostly because they kept the 1990's font when they updated the "Bad Boys" uniform set, and because those logos ('90's as they may be) still have far more personality than a diagram of a piston. I'd love it if they did a more "1960's muscle car/vintage auto" identity with the classic colors, but the recolored "horsepower" set is the best in their history.

Vests should always be cut like this: While this may pose a problem for NOB's, NOB's can always be shrunken/placed straight to deal w/ spacing issues. Also an upopular opinion: the A's are the only team who pulled off non-white/grey/powder blue pants successfully. Heck, I'd go as far as to say that the above picture is one of my favorite uniforms in baseball history.

Dr. J on the Hawks (for two exhibition games in 1973): Also, Pete Maravich in the "Candy Striper" Hawks uniform set (given how he's usually associated with the royal/lime set):

So, will avatars carry over through forum upgrade?

While I love the standard Royals cap, I did find myself liking the powder blue and grey versions: While I'm glad that the powder blue hat is no longer worn with the powder tops, I still think it was worth breaking out at least once or twice a season. I'd argue the same thing with the grey cap (and white/grey caps in general, as I'm a total sucker for them).

I kind of like the 1971 Dodgers' sotra-racing stripe look on their road uniforms: The thinness of the stripes, and the stripes' connections to the collar and sleeve piping, allow this non-traditional uniform element to blend in with an otherwise classic look. The only issue I have with it is that it doesn't use a "Los Angeles" script on the front.

Well, here I go. San Francisco Giants - The local team and the favorite team of the person who got me hooked on baseball, my mom (a fan since the '60's). Through the ups and downs, I've always stuck with the Giants. Seattle Mariners - My AL team. I gained an interest in them when I was touring colleges during my senior year of high school, and my affinity for them grew once I met a bunch of Mariners fans at college. It also helps that I love the navy/teal color scheme (the teal-billed hat is one of my favorite hats in baseball). Golden State Warriors - The local team. I got into basketball during middle school, and I decided to side with the Warriors (unlike some people I knew, who joined the Lakers bandwagon). I always knew that they were terrible and believed that they would never get to the Finals, but I loved them all the same. Honestly, these lowered expectations made their recent championship run both surprising and exhilarating. Portland Trail Blazers - I go to college in Portland, I like the team's visual identity, and Damian Lillard is one of my favorite players in the NBA right now. San Jose Sharks - The local team, and the one fandom I occasionally regret. I've stuck by them, even as they raise expectations, choke in easy/must-win scenarios, and commit acts of hilarious stupidity (the likes of which are absurd, even in the NHL). In recent years, it has been getting harder to keep my allegiance, especially considering my negative relationship with The Best Fans in HockeyTM segment of the fandom. Green Bay Packers - My dad's favorite team. It helps that I like the uniforms as well. Celtic FC - A friend of mine from high school suggested that I like the team on Facebook. Once I researched them, I figured they would be the perfect team for me, given my partially Irish and Scottish ancestry and how much I loved the look of their kits. Since then, I've been following them.

OldSchoolVikings might call for my crucifixion because of this opinion, but I think that my favorite look for the Vikings is the white facemask period: I still like the purple, grey, and black masks, but the white ones take the cake for me. Maybe it's the balance of colors that makes it work more than it does for other teams (especially when the Vikings only wore white pants). I don't share these feelings for any other white facemask.
