CubsFanBudMan Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Teams used to use different grays a few years ago. Majestic had problem making Coolbase jerseys in gray which matched the pants, so when they finally found a match, they gave that shade to all teams (and of course adjusted their pants accordingly). I think it's dumb that these teams were forced to use one gray. Some teams would look better with a slight hue to their jerseys, such as the Royals going with blue.The Marlins original road unis from 93 to the earlier 2000s were the best of this era, with the slightly teal tinted shade of gray.Most images I have seen dont show it clearly, but in person wheh they played the Rays I saw a difference.As a Marlins fan I must find visual proof of this.Cosign. I've never noticed this either.I own one. It's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnysama Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I know that the L.A. Angels have switched their belts and cleats from black to red, and I notice the Cincinnati Reds have done likewise...... regarding the Reds though, is this true?

SFGiants58 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 The mere fact that there is confusion over the color of the Rockies' pinstripes just points to the Rockies' poor attempt at color distribution. Ideally, the uniform should look like this (excuse the dodgy photoshop job):Embracing purple, while relegating black to an accent color, should be the proper color distribution.

Ideally, the uniform should look like this (excuse the dodgy photoshop job): Embracing purple, while relegating black to an accent color, should be the proper color distribution. That's definitely the ideal look for the Rockies! I've always felt based on logos/uniforms/etc, that their primary color is purple, secondary is black, trim/accent is silver.. I think it would still be a strong identity and would look beautiful if properly executed, but having black share the spotlight as a secondary has caused them to go all "Marlins" and get very black-heavy.. Perhaps relegating it to trim status and bringing the silver more into the mix, while still emphasizing purple as the primary, is the way to go.. If they can carry over the look you presented to an away and alt, I'm all for it.. Black's a strong color, but when unique colors like purple and teal get washed out by a team trying to look like the White Sox, it gets old quickly.. Nice mock up.. I'd love to see something like that come to fruition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmejia Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 They originally announced the orange hat/undershirt set as their weekend/afternoon alternates, but never really followed suit. They've only wore this set a few times this season, maybe even less than five times. They orange top with solid blue hat has been their main alt set this season, worn with both home white pants and road grey pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1409 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 It looks awesome. This should be their home set with the solid navy cap on the road. The navy/orange brim one is not needed at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
