ConcreteCharlie Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 It does? I think more often than not it looks smashing. Creates more contrast, allows all three colors to work together. examples:If anything, I want to see the Mariners take it a step further and flip flop teal and navy so teal is the base of the number with navy being the outline. i think this is another good example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Why does every single color in the palette have to make it to the numbers?you obviously don't have to use every color in the numbers and in many cases I'd prefer not to (see: Philadelphia Eagles), but in those examples I presented I think it looks much worse without the multi-layered numbers. Point being: you seem steadfast against them at all costs, but there are clearly times when it's a better option than the alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 McCarthy, I agree with your larger point, but I think the Blues would look better without the navy outlines, as I think they'd look better dropping navy entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WavePunter Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 There's something I really like about smashing a lighter color between two darker colors (although I prefer when the darker colors are actually the same color).. It works best on white backgrounds, like the Vikings' pants striping on their white pants, the blues' logo(I realize it's two different blues, but they're at least somewhat close), mariners' throwback wordmark, etc.. I agree with the logic for disliking them, but in reality, I usually think it looks good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Wind of Doom Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 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.It's probably just your eyes playing tricks, every once in a while I feel the Dodgers are useing a blueish grey, but really they are just useing the same grey as everyone else.I thought The Dodgers wore blue-grey away jerseys for decades. I guess some colors just blend well with the grey and Dodger Blue is one of those colors.I've heard it said more than once on here that there's something different about the sunlight over there that effects the way colors look on a uniform. It does appear that the home white of the Dodgers and Athletics look a different shade at a home day game than those of the Yankees and Red Sox.Not sure if this has been talked about in the recent past, but last night after his triple, Daniel Murphy of the Mets lifted up his pants leg and showed he wears these socks:Funny - my kids are playing in their soccer league right now in Brooklyn and a kid showed up wearing those.

We've gone as many pages as there are games in a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 The multiple outline thing work if the middle outline isn't the same as the base color of the uniform, and isn't super bright. I think the blues one posted above is a good example of it working.If it matches the jersey or is super bright (like a (sigh) volt) then your eye kinda goes to the middle outline before anything else, even if only for a split second. It also doesn't add any weight to the letter / number, which makes it appear skinnier / harder to read.I think that up close, like if you were holding the jersey (or looking at it on a rack in a store), the new Mariners probably looks really good. But on the field, I've flipped to the opinion that it isn't as good as what they had.

Bouj Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Obviously, the Yankees will be adding the black armband today. Will the also add the "8" like they did with Mantle, and will they have a season-long tribute next season? Yogi deserves more than 2 weeks of tribute. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!

Royal blue isn't one of their colors. No thanks. The Nationals' uniforms are enough of a mess already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOldRoman Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 The White Sox have had a memorial patch for Minnie Minoso all season. After Billy Pierce died last month, it took them close to two weeks to get patches made for him (a black diamond with a 19 in it). If it really took them two weeks to make the patches, they could have even done an interim half-assing of adding the Minoso "9" patches a 1 stitched on them, but no. And here the Yankees are getting it done less than 24 hours later. Of course, the Yankees are expecting a long October run, and the White Sox folded up the tents immediately after the trade deadline, so maybe nobody gave enough of a :censored: to do anything about it.

Silent Wind of Doom Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Here's the image posted on Instagram this morning. https://instagram.com/p/7-v8M1qH38/They've never before done only the number. Could they be going with an easier option for today since it was so sudden, or would they have plenty of time to put the band on as well? I suppose it could also be an issue of the band not looking well with the thick stripes on the cuffs, but that never stopped them before.I was very upset when they did Franchise Four that Yogi wasn't even included among the list of nominations for "greatest living players". I wrote him in, but it didn't matter.It's a sad day for the sport. I expect to see a monument next year. He's one of the two players who don't have one that should, and the other's still alive.The White Sox have had a memorial patch for Minnie Minoso all season.

They've already had a history when their greatest of the great are lost to featuring a very simple memorial. The memorial patches other teams are more complex. Is this the memorial patch that had the silver trim inset from the edges? I can't remember if they also used a plain diamond with white number or if that was another team. When you update all the teams they tend to run together.I wonder if anyone remembers how long it took the Yankees to add the more complex patches for Steinbrenner and Sheppard.
