Players in the "wrong" uniforms
SilverBullet1929 replied to larrypep's topic in Sports Logo General Discussion
I wouldn't even know the Orlando Magic existed if it wasn't for Shaq... and I grew up in Florida. The Magic is not Shaq's wrong uniform even if he was more successful elsewhere. Not sure how that was even a question. -
It's because clowns are purposely trying to look like more respectable clowns by copying the Yankees look. I have no doubt that this is done on purpose. It's the same reason clowns have NNOB and no manufacturer logos on their clown suits.

Players in the "wrong" uniforms
SilverBullet1929 replied to larrypep's topic in Sports Logo General Discussion
Yes, that's fair and I understand that but it's not nearly in the same category as something like Mike Piazza in a Marlins uniform, David Ortiz in a Twins uniform, and Frank Thomas in an A's uniform. I dunno maybe I want like a disclaimer or something. -
Players in the "wrong" uniforms

Cracks me up how "new uniform" automatically means "wrong uniform" for so many of you. And while Boggs in a Devil Rays jersey isn't his "right uniform" I can't say it was a "wrong uniform" because when I think of the 98 Devil Rays I think of Wade Boggs. -
Amen. Even knowing that the ad in the center is just an ad, I still look at soccer team uniforms and think the ad is the team. I see someone with the jersey and think "oh their favorite team is Qatar Airways"

If I'm not mistaken they said this was a decision made for advertising of the game and it will not actually be in the game itself. Still odd to think it was needed in the ads but if I'm not wrong in remembering this then don't worry it will be accurate in the game

For those of you who play MLB The Show you'll be happy to know that in the last few weeks they've gone a heavy duty binge of correcting uniform inaccuracies in that game. Most of the changes have come directly from fan feedback as well so you know the changes will be worthwhile and significant. Keep an eye out for the game March 28th.

But then you're just incorrect. Do you call the Nationals the Expos too?

Cash me ousside, how bow dah?

I think teams can have different or modified color schemes home and away and still have one clear identity. Like the St Louis Cardinals when they would wear navy caps on the road, or the Tigers only using orange on the road. Consistency goes a long way in this I think.

Wow. I would love to have you elaborate on these. It's not often one person can agree on all of those opinions at once. I'm genuinely curious.

I don't watch or follow the NFL so I don't know if this is unpopular or not but I saw a bit of the Cowboys on Thanksgiving and I spent the time trying to figure out if the numbers were white or silver. Eventually I settled on white but my mind wouldn't let me accept that. Why don't they have silver numbers with a white outline? Wouldn't that match better with the helmet and the pants? What's the point of the white outline on white numbers? So yeah, count me in on the Cowboys needing silver numbers.

Is this where to bring up the Iron Pigs using a reflective material on their jerseys? I feel like this is misleading. I'm a Marlins fan and I'm pretty sure the Marlins black alternate jersey has a reflective material on the numbers on the back. Look at the differences between #'s 73 and #1... the 1 is brighter because the player moved and the light caught the number more than on the 73. Isn't this basically the same thing? I'm sure other teams jerseys can do the same.

Yes and no... that's only part of the problem and them putting the problem in simple terms but neglecting to mention the part of the problem that they can control. Each team has 10 uniform slots and the devs have chosen to force 4 of those slots to be used for non-current throwbacks. For current uniforms the devs chose to only allow 4 and the M's have 5 therefore one had to go and they simply chose that one. There isn't a science behind that one... it's just what they chose. If they chose to include the blue gold throwback and eliminated, say, the teal alt then someone would have been upset at that decision too. Until that dev team decides to change the way they divide up the uniform slots (or of course until they find a way to add more slots) there will always be this problem with many teams. FYI I know you're just quoting the devs, not attacking you here... attacking their wording.

SilverBullet1929 replied to larrypep's topic in Sports Logo General Discussion
What they accomplished is huge and those players will always be linked now but there's more to that in deciding "right or wrong" uniform/team. To me when I think of those players, Zobrist is a Ray, Lester is Red Sox, Montero is a DBack, Lackey is an Angel, and Chapman is a Red. -

Wait wait wait... the Joe Maddon Tampa Bay "wrong uniform" argument is skewed by Cubs fans and the media because of the history that was just made. Rays fans will never forget Maddon. I'm a Marlins fan and being in Florida I'm exposed to the Rays more than many and, while still understanding Maddon's huge accomplishment with the Cubs, I can't agree with any Rays uniform being a "wrong uniform" for Maddon. Remember it is possible to have more than one "right" uniform even if one uniform seemingly stands above the rest. -
The Devil Rays cap in the video game and in that above throwback game was intended for use in the inaugural season but was never worn but the cap did exist and was only worn in that one throwback game. But in the video game the cap is designated as the 1998 cap and the TB cap is designated as the 1999 cap. Technically that is accurate as it's what was originally intended. The TB cap was technically considered an alternate in 98 and became the primary in 99.

Yep I've seen those boards. The style guide has it's issues but it's not the reason for every problem. Frustrating I know.

Yes I know the issue. You are right. It's that there aren't enough slots in the game and/or their methods for choosing the jerseys that get in are highly debatable.

sucks but thats a different type of issue entirely. As for the Devil Rays in The Show I was more perplexed by the 90s uniforms having dark green undershirts and socks like the mid 2000s teams. Still shocked at how that mistake happened.
