That goes back to my first point that having already brought in the matching navy pants, to me it would be a massive downgrade to shift to a softball top set. The monochrome navy looks really great, especially with the powder blue striping. It even works with Cubs history.

Yeah, I just strongly dislike the dark monocrhome look. I dread Friday home games now as a Cubs fan!

2. If the Cubs were to go with their current pinstripes, you'd have a third shade of blue in the mix and that just wouldn't work. If they were to make the pinstripes navy or powder blue or go with white pants with a single powder blue stripe, that would be better, but now you'd be adding a second pair of white pants with no matching white jersey. Other teams have done it but unless you're the San Diego Padres, I don't like it.

 

Yeah, they definitely shouldn’t use the royal blue pins with the navy.  The City Connect idea is already so discordant with the rest of the set that I wouldn’t be bothered by them adding another white pant since it’s only gonna be used with that jersey (just like the navy pants don’t go with anything else in the set now).

Horrible idea.

 Curious about this opinion (I’d say about half of the responses to my tweet at last check were similar). Is it just a distaste for a solid top over pinstripes? Lots of teams have used that look, and I’ve always kind of liked it (I miss the Cubs using their blue alts at home, though I do prefer the full pin stripe set).  Mostly I think the blue pants with the City Connect uniforms look bad, and anything else would be preferable. 

This is probably just a function of not having time or the blue pants on hand, but I wish the Cubs would make this change with their city connect uniforms (preferably with light blue pinstripes).

I really dislike the yellow/gold bands on that MS flag. Would look better with just the blue and red. 

Even better! Mind if I use this in a Cubs concept?

Hooray! This is fantastic. Send this to Tom Ricketts. Many thanks!

My profile pic is an old Cubs logo from 1942 (according to the "wall of logos" at the new Cubs' spring training facility). It was used in some old programs but I'm not sure if it was ever an official logo. This is the best quality picture of it I've seen. Would love to see you work your magic on it if possible.
