  1. I judge companies when they whine about how hard and difficult it is to create sport shirts.
  2. They at least have burgundy options this WBC, although still paired with the idiotic blue/red helmet. The national teams are known as La Vinotinto, this crap is color by numbers. They got it right the first time, all the way back in 2006:
  3. I don't like turning the S into stripes that baseball and hockey do. It looks kitchy, and both sports look better with block serif fonts: "USA" is already such a powerful and distinct brand, you don't need to add a gimmick.
  4. Well, kind of. Ireland does not love that they're called the "British" Isles.
  5. I'm pretty sure the front lettering on the Canadian jerseys is too small for the NOB even.
  6. I think they should have flipped the stripe colors so blue is the outermost. It would neatly prevent the blending into the navy jersey: And the loss of the Minnie and Paul logo still stings. Hoping it gets resurrected. The Minnesota state logo with the star is a poor replacement.
  7. Then kudos to the rest of MLB for recognizing how incredibly ugly it was.
  8. Highlighting armpits has never looked good in any uniform or sports context.
  9. I feel confident within three years they will add that hat to their rotation. I think the solid navy will continue to be the primary home, but I could see them picking a day to wear the Mauer hats regularly.
  10. Highlighting armpits has never looked good in any uniform or sports context.
  11. I was just typing up the same thing. Most high schools aren't trying to pull a fast one, and I'm sure manufacturing is much easier and cheaper if there's only 100-200 designs nationally than if all the thousands of schools had their custom logos. My high school used the Kansas State wildcat in blue and green, and the Notre Dame fight song with new lyrics.
  12. Credit to Adidas for actually making bespoke kits for most teams (even if some of them miss). First time in years it hasn't felt like mailed-in, color-swapped recycled designs.
  13. Austin is years late and did it worse If you're going dazzle, go dazzle. Austin just looks like there was a printing error with the scale of the stripes.
  14. Funny you mention that, I don't like the USA Hockey wavey S much more than the bacon S. It just looks forced. A Miracle on Ice style block font USA is timeless, in my opinion. Don't love the color blocking, but at least my Venezuela is back in burgundy.
  15. Team USA jerseys are up for sale on mlbshop.com, no one else's yet. The bacon S, while culturally relevant, needs to go already.
  16. The Flag Code is non-binding however. It would just be more sensible to place the flag on the left. But that would make New Era mad.
  17. I am shocked that Adidas went along with a subdued logo and Three Stripes. Hopefully it doesn't set a dangerous precedent of the club/team branding being more notable than the corporate branding.
  18. I rather like this logo the Mexican Pacific League has been using for the Caribbean Series more than the WBC one. The half-hearted 3D effect on the Germany hat is somehow more offensively ugly than if they had just done a boring, flat letter like Italy. Flags should be half the size and on the left, but I know that would be offensive to our corporate overlords.
  19. The problem with a wheat away jersey is the helmet mismatch looks awful. And why the hell have white??
  20. Not a fan personally of black with the North Stars colors, but I think part of the issue is it's used way too thinly in the logo and numbers. Makes it feel like a distracting afterthought versus an intentional part of the design. This: Works better than this: (Fixed the striping to be consistent while I was at it) And maybe not on a black base, but I've always liked the gradient stripes on this prototype: Would be an interesting RR3.0: With the current colors I wish they would have a consistent color hierarchy on the homes. Red is relegated to a barely visible highlight color when it should be the secondary color. The Wild are green/wheat at home and green/red on the road, on different templates to boot. Pick one or the other!
  21. Or maybe not, this is the look on the Venezuelan Baseball Federation's website: Like the full wordmark, still would prefer a traditional burgundy uniform. Faint hope that these aren't the actual official WBC jerseys.
  22. Notable that Venezuela are going back to their traditional (and proper) Vinotinto (burgundy), and with a new font for the cap logo 2017: As to the US, they got it right in the 1934 Tour of Japan:
  23. Of course not, gotta feed the beast.
